Goochland was formed from lienrico

land in las, Powhatan from Cumber-
land in III. Tradition has handed it
down that Petervlle church, now in
Powhatan county, was originally called
"Vill DO" from the fact that Peter
lie Graud, who had been commissioned
90 select a place tor a church, when he
reached the place where Peterville now
stands. he said: "This will do" hence
for number Of years it was called
"Peter Viii do church" Peter lie
Grand afterwards moved to the county
of Prince Edward, the church was in
honor to him, called Peteryille.
The lie Grands intermarried with
the Walkers, who settled on Angola

LUNENBURG &. H., VA, I
June %. 1903. [


The Confederate veterans held their
reunion at Lunenbufg Courthouse on
the Path Of June. Ex-Congresman
James F. Epes, Of Nottoway, Judge q.
/ c. Organ, Of Lunenburg, and Mr.
Harry Smith, Of Mecklenburg, added
to the occasion by their historical elo-
quence. In the afternoon the Daugh-
tiers Of the Confederacy gave an enter
tainment for the benefit Of the rund to
erect monument 10 the Confederate
dead Of Lunenburg. They realized
sixty.two dollars from the entertain
ment. 1t was a most creditable en-
tertainment, and the actors displayed
much talent and won many laurels
The whole affair gave much pleasure,
and vas greatly complimented. The
music was excellent, violin, banjo and
guitar with vocal music and the must
clans acquitted themselves very hand
somely. II was all exceedingly en-
joyable, but must make special men,
ton Of two acts, viz: Rock Of Ages and
the death Of Gen. j f. b. Stuart In
Rock Of Ages tie scene was serenely
beautiful and admirably rendered by
eight young ladies with instrumental
accompaniment The recitation in
memory OF Gen'l Stuart delivered by
Miss Minnie Tabb Bragg, was specially
appropriate TO the occasion. The
poetry was composed by the late DR..
Henry c. Alexander, who was Chap
lain in the Confederate Army and
afterwards the able and efficient Pro
lessor in the Union Theological Semi !
nary. His memory like the gallant
Stuart's will ever be imperishsble. This |
recitation was followed by the Sweet
Bye and Bye beautifully rendered by |
the string band whose sweet strains
touched tender chords in the hearts Of
the listeners, who were anticipating |
the reunion IN the great mere
after. There was a bounuful and ex
celent meat dinner served free Of
charge Cake, creams, sherbet, etc,
were sold for the benefit Of the monu-
ment fund.
Miss Rosa CardOzO gave very de-
lightful entertainment to her friends
at her home here which was enjoyed |
very much by her guests who were
present There were about 20 in at
tendance.

Scripture quoting will never stop this
evil, nor cure aching hearts, and seeing
the saloons have held sway SO long in our
midst, and some Of our finest men have
gone astray, it is only fair to let the
prohibitionist or dispensary people
have their turn now.
Judge Hncock, at Burkeyille, re-
fused to grant a liquor license, saying
that the whole section between Peters
burg and Lynchburg was dry, and il
Burkeyile had a saloon a disorderly
element would be attracted
Does Farmyille wish to cater to that
element? We boast Of our pretty girls
from this and other States, attending
our Normal school. Are we to have
them thrown in with that rough ele-
ment? DO we value our girls more
than we do our boys and how many
boys are safe with these dens Of iniqui-
ty open?
If. Of q. writes "of the dog in the
mauger natures Of those who can't use
abusing one Of Gods best
gifts 10 mem" I think they deserve
pity more than condemnation, and if
they can't get il from Christian men
and women where shall they get it?
lL.eyery profe,sed Christian would on
ly act as though cit is good neither to
eat flesh nor drink wine, nor anything
whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is
offended. or made weak" the saloons |
would never open in Farmville again.
