offers its assistance kindred science is
ready to shake hands. But this help

OF trouble, but ls remedial as we'll. In
this hurried age Of rush and push the
nervous disorders have increased alarm
ingly, and what's most needed Is tonic
bracers that accomplish their work
without taxing the stomach, and they
are found here. Animal magnetism or
animal electricity is supplied, and un-
der its influence the tired nerve returns
to work refreshed just as the whole
body wakes to new eBdeavor after 8

Of suffering humanity we congratulate
the newest OF our doctors on the intro

Boxes brighten Things.

During the Thanksgiving holidays
numerous boxes were received by the
girls of the Normal from home folks.
Turkeys and hams, pies, pickles, cakes
and cookies, home made biscuits, crack
ers from the hands Of the old cook,
doughnuts, celery, catnips, canned
goods, and in at least one case oysters
by the barrel and in their native shells,
made up combination that brighten
ed the day and made night luminous.
Many were the imprompt and informal
gatherings and glad the laughter as
the lids were removed and the very
depths Of the mother packed treasures
were exposed.
The Thanksgiving dinner at the Nor
NAL was Of the highest order Of excel
lence, composed Of the choicest luxu-
ries, Of land and sea, cooked according
to the very best art and served in ex-
quisite STYLE. and so the dinners in the
homes Of Farmville, and yet the girls
TUNED from well-ladened boards to
well flied boxes with appetites whet-
ted upon that upon which they had
been feeding. Neither the cigar nor
the pipe ever satisfies the craving OF
the man in love with the cigarette, and
An the eirl with a box from home is
never satisfied with that which she
finds on the table. Happy the girl
from happy home, where goodies
do grow, and from which they are
boxed, express paid in advance.

The New Pastor.

Rev. H. Tucker Graham, pastor
elect Of the Farmville Presbyterian
Church, is expected to occupy his pull
pit on next Sunday and enter upon his
duties az head OF that congregation.
Mr.. Graham is not altogether a
stranger to the people Of this commun-
ity, having graduated from both
Hampden Sidney College and Union
Theological Seminary. After leaving
the Seminary he devoted several years
to mission work in Japan. For the
last seven years he has been pastor OF
a large and growing church at Fayette-
vile, n. G. Besides thorough train
ing and varied experience, Mr.. Ora.
ham belongs to family Of preachers.
His father is Dr. James Graham, OF
Winchester, and a brother is pastor at
Davidson, y. G.
The following tribute is from a
Fayetteville paper:
Rev. II. L. Graham, the beloved pas
tor Of the Presbyterian Church, has de-
cided to accept a call to Farmville, Va. ,
much to the regret Of his large mem
bership.
In making the announcement TO his
congregation, he read beautiful letter,
probably not willing to trust to his
feelings without having il written out.
His congregation was solemnly I'M
pressed.
As Fayetteville has done, 30 Farm
VILE will find In Rev. Mr. Graham an
earnest, able preacher, a consecrated
Christian worker, a faithful pastor,
and at all times a gentleman Of the
highest type, who (you may always
rest sssured) will do the proper thing
under all circumstances, social or re-
ligi0us.

Sunday i'm FarmyiIle.

The day in the world Of nature was
ideal and in the spiritual world rich
in blessings.
Rev. Mr. Stuart, who has been con-
Quoting a most successful revival at
the Baptist church, preached to an
overflow audience both morning and
evening, and addressed the Y. NJ. {.
A. at 4 p. m. This servant Of the
Master has been preaching the word
with great power, nor have his labors
been in vain. God has richly honored
his own word and daily the ranks OF
his people have been strengthened
while his own people have been made
to rejoice as the wanderers have been
coming home. The church has not
been large enough to furnish even
standing room for those who went to
hear the earnest faithful preacher, and
surely his labors have not been in vain.
ReY. Mr.. VIM, brother Of the rsgu-
lar pastor OF the churcn, preacheu al
the Methodist church, while Mr..
Stuart, student Of the Union Theo-
logical Seminary, occupied the pulpit
Of the Presbyterian. Children were
out in full at the Sunday School and
studied together the worldwide lesson
on Temperance. Surely all Farmyille
can unite in saying "the lines have
fallen unto US in pleasant places and
ours is a goodly heritage" And since
these things are so they should not for
get that to whom much is given much is
required.

will and did it not was beaten into
many stripes"
