The Last of Our County Court.

On next Monday Judge Crute will
hold the last term Of the County Court
so far as the laws Of Virginia now in
operation provide. What shall we do
to make the day memorable? The
system so long In vogue, ought not to
be allowed to die without some appr0-
pirate recognition Of the fact. The
burial should at least be conducted with
becoming solemnity and all the pro-
prieties Of the occasion should be OBJ
served
And, then, are we not to inagurate
some useful substitute for County Court
day? The people Of the county ought
to meet together at least once month
if for nothing more than to shake
hands and keep in elbow-touch. The
Herald long since suggested that the
farmers Of the county organize and
meet together in the courthouse build
ing on the old county court day, the
Srd Monday Of each month Of the year.
Or since the Circuit court will here
after meet four times year, let the
farmers agree TO meet on the 3rd Mon
day of the other eight months Of the
year. And what for? We have al
ready given good and efficient answer
but If this VIII not do we add, for the
purpose Of discussing questions per
tanning to practical farming. One man
doesn't know it all, and one neighbor
can tell another neighbor something of
value.
The Herald offers the suggestion, and
now what are you going to do about it?
We leave the matter with you.

IL Of the towns ordinances.
The mayor was instructed to confer
with the Prince Edward Board of Su-
pervisOrs with reference to the keeping
of another of the towns dependents
at the poor house.
The resolution offered by Mr.. David
son at a recent called meeting Of the
council, looking to having an amend
meDt to the towns charter so as to
abolish the office Of town sergeant was
laid on the table indefinitely.
The members OF the Dispensary
Board, Messrs. w. T. Clark, J. L..
Richardson and &. NJ. Robson were
present aud requested $1,000 for the
opening of the dispensary. Having
previously been authorized to borrow
$1,000 for this purpose no action was
taken.
The question of the treasurer in
creasing his bond with the town on
account Of being the custodian of the
dispenssry funds resulted in an in
struction that the additional security
of s.. 900 be given.
On motion the sergeant was in
structed to turn over the money from
the dispenssry to the treasurer at least
twice a week, for which services he is
TO receive no pay.

Coming 10 the Point.

How sinful is the way in which W,
act, talking so much about minor mat
tiers and never touching upon some Of
the greatest importance! The more We
love Gods church, the more we love
his own denomination, so much the
more should we desire to have a fault
shown, and corrected. One folly,
brands on individuals OF denomlna-
ton and becomes the peculiar mark by
which it is known and which men
think of in connection with it, hiding
its many excellencies.
One Of these peculiarlties is the Close
Communion Of the noble Baptist
church. The fault is conceit and fool.
lsh inconsistency. No where in the
Bible is baptism mentioned as a pre-
requisite for communion. Granting
that baptism means immersion, then
II those that are not immersed, are
wilfully disobeying Christ, they can
not claim to be Christians at all. How
wrong, then, to call on them to lead In
prayer, preach, OF conduct Christian re.
vival services! Yet the Baptist breth-
reu will do all that, swallow the camel,
and then strain at the gnat: not admit
to the communion the best man who
has not been immersed. Why draw
the line just there? II one does not
baptise in what you think the right
way, it is logical and right to say, "As
you do not, dear brother, administer
baptism as | think it ought to be ad-
ministered, / can't get you to bsptise
for me-" but how abs lrd to say: "You
may preform the ceremony Of marriage,
you may conduct the burial OF the
Christian dead, you.may pray in our
meetings, you may conduct for US re-
vival services, but you shall not COM
mune with usw
Dear brethren, have you the right to
set up such q requirement? Most
christians do not believe that baptism
means immersion. You set yourselves
there against most Of the church.
