The spring term Of Buckingham Cir
cult court began last Tuesday, and the
attendance was very large, but wheth-
er the court business was extensive, or
whether our folks were "jest nachelly
tired" Of staying at home, or whether
the innate desire and high ambition
Of every free-born Buckingham citizen
to attend "cote," caused the crowd, l
do not know, but the folks were there
Buckingham folks, Richmond folks.
Lynchburg folks, and White Hall folks
The sole representative Of your town
was Mr.. Louis Richardson. He didn't
look lonesome much, because it is his
native soil, but really Fsrmville cannot
afford to ignore Bucklngham's trade
A word to the wise is sufficient. Judge
Hundley declined to antliquOr licen'

that after LIST Of May there will be only
one saloon in Buckingham county, al
Warren Ferry on James River. SO you
see we are pretty temperate folks oyel

neath Of an EstImahIe Lady.

Mrs. Mary Reynolds, the venerable
mother Of Miss Reynolds, Of the facul-
ty OF the State Female Normal School,
died at the home Of Mrs. W. II. Berke-
ley at an early hour Of last Sunday
morning. The body was taken to
Kittaning, Penn, Tuesday for burial.
Mrs. Reynolds came to Farmyllle
some years ago to live with her daugh-
ter, and so quiet was that coming, ana
so gentle and transformations her every
day life that only those who, in our
social and religious circles, came IN
der her sweet and refining influence
appreciated what those circles had gain
ed by the presence Of this model moth
er, loyal friend, cheerful Christian.
Mrs. Reynolds was devoted to books,
and being blessed with refined and dis
eliminating taste knew what to read,
and having read her retentive memory
enabled her to make good use of the
knowledge attained, not only for her
own edification and entertainment, but
that Of her friends as well.
Until a serious fall inflicted her with
permanent and painful disability this
dear lady was enjoying the evening Of
life, made radiant and peaceful by the
sweet attentions and unstinted and un-
selfish devotion Of grateful, loving
and dutiful daughter, as few Of her age
are permitted to do, and when the ply
steal unrest came it did not drive the
calm from her peaceful countenance or
the peace Of God from her heart.
Loyal to the old home, she learned to
love the new and be loved in il, and
though she sleeps in a Northern grave
and beneath a Northern sky, flowers
made fair aud fragrant by Southern sun
and shower, bedeck it and tears OF
Southern friends have fallen on it.
She was tired and is now at rest, she
was in pain and now at perfect ease.
blessed are the dead who die in the
Lord.

We claim that Racycle runs
81 per cent. easier than a
bicycle. Why does it? Be-
cause the front sprocket is
placked between the bearings
instead of on the outside, as
in bicycles, thus doing away
with the side strain and en-
aiding them to use very large
sprockets which decrease the
chain friction. Another adj
vantage is that the bearings
are selfoiling and will run a
whole season without any
attention.
Another good thing about
Racycle is that everybody
does not have a wheel just
like yours. 1t is so totally
different from other wheels
that it is in a class by itself,
and the difference is notice
able as far as the wheel can
be seen. The Racycle is above
the reach of the rabble.
