buckingham Court.

The fall term of this court convened
on Tuesday last, Judge Hundley pre-
siding. Owing to the illness Of Mr..
T.. w. Hubbard, commemorative attor-
ney, who il under treatment in the
Memorial Hospital at Richmond, the
cases against Woodbridge and Forbes
were continued to the February term
and the prisoners were sent back to
Jail.
There were a number Of lawyers in
attendance upon the session Of the
court, and the civil docket is much
larger than in any Of the adjoining
counties.
At noon Judge Hundley adjourned
the court and gave place to political
speaking. A discussion vas arranged
between Messrs. Rivercomb and Flood,
aspirants for Congressional honors, and
at ] p. m. the ball opened, the speak
ing taking place in the open air, on
the courthouse green. MIR. Rivercomb
led oil in a speech Of an hour in which
he magnIfied the work Of the q. o. r.,
told several Grst-rate jokes, and, unfor-
t~unately attacked the record Of Hal
Flood as member Of Congress. The
latter replied in a speech Of n hour
and a half, and without wasting a
word in preliminaries or bouquet Hing
ing dived at once into %"records," and
must have made his opponent sorry
that he had said anything on the sub
jet.
Mr.. Rivercomb was member Of the
Senate Of Virginia, from one Of the
largest and most important districts
Of the State at a time when matters Of
vital interest to his constituency were
demanding attention, and the record
Flood had i) showed that about all
the Senator did was to "draw his pay
and 20 back home" "Haln told first
how many days he was there, and
well-nigh the hours, and they were
"fearful" few. Turning to his OWL re-
cord in. Congress, he said 81 remain
ed at my post and while | could not
control Republican legislation, and
never wanted to for it is always wrong.
and | try always TO be right, | brought
to this district over S300,OOO Of money
in the establishment Of free rural de-
~liveries alone, and if allowed to go back
I will honey comb the district with
them"
And this is not idle talk Of Mr.. Flood.
lie has done the work, and the Herald
has often complimented him on il.
Leaving records the Congressman
defended Democracy, State and nation
al, and closed amid the ringing cheers
OF his legion Of Buckingham frienCs.
Mr.. Rivercomb made good use Of
his half hours in reply, but the ere
cord" was "agin" him aud will 80 re-
main because it can't be corrected now.
Without controversy and without
the spirit Of p%artlzanship we concluded
by saying that it must be agreed by a
large majority Of those present that it
was Democratic day, and that the
Valley mar is no match for the gifted
son Of the SOuthside.

Our congratulations and regrets meet
and mingle when we are reminded that
Prince Edward will lose one Of lis most
valuable and progressive citizens In
the person Of Mr.. J. ID. Eggleston, Jr.
We congratulate the gifted gentleman
on being promoted to the editorial
control Of one Of the leading news
papers Of North Carolina, and we re-
greet that in accepting it, he leaves "A
vacancy in the business and education
al circles of our county which Wiz e
hard TO hll.
As superintendent Of schools, he in
troduced new life and interest into the
system and discharged all the duties IN
cident to the important trust with
scholarly and singular ability. He in
splred others with something Of his en-
thusiasm for learning, and has spread
good cheer from school TO school,
scholar to scholar, teacher TO teacher.
But the labOrs Of this enterprlslng TEL
low citizen were not confined to the
realm Of letters, on the contrary he
led in business circles and i'm the con
duct Of affairs practical. For years the
Herald had clamored for the telephone
tie between town and. country, home
and home, and not until J. d. Eggles-
ton, Jr., stepped to the front, did we
hear the ring Of the instrument or the
familiar voices Of our friends from
afar.
This living, thrilling, well nigh
breathing monument will perpetuate
his memory among us, keeping it fresh
and green, and ever moving us to sin
cere gratitude.
He carries with him to his new and
wide field Of usefulness our best wishes,
and we send to all North Carolina, our
next.dOor Southern sister, greetings
on their good fortune in securing the
services Of a knightly gifted and devot-
ed son Of the Old Dominion.

AN OLD MEDICINE
INANEW FORM, PHYSICIANS ARE
PLEASED.
Druggists II. G.. Crute 4 Co., Say:
YinOl is a New Form OF the Oldest
and Best Tonic In the World.

Science conferred a great boon on
humanity when two eminent French
chemists discovered how 10 extract from
the Gods liver all the curative elements
contained in cod liver oil. but without a
drop Of oil or grease, and thus produce
Ninol.
at is no longer necessary TO load the
stomach with old fashioned greasy cod
liver oil or emulsions to obtain the cur
alive properties Of cod liver oil, for
VinOl is like taking the kernel from the
nut, the oil or the grease i'm which the
curative elements were envelOped has
been discarded, and we offer the peo-
pie Of Farmville 1.-THE concentrated es-
sence Of the medicine found in cod liver
oil, without a drop Of oil or grease TO
upset the stomach and retard its work.
"FOr centuries doctors and druggists
alike have looked upon cod liver oil a.
the best tonic, strength-creatOr and
bOdy-bullder in the world, but have ac-
k~nOwledged that IT'S one great draw
back was the grease which it contained.
With this grease all eliminated, we offer
the people Of Farmville in Vinol a per-
feet cod liver oil preparation a. delicious
to the taste as a fresh orange
Mr.. j. b. Kenner, Deputy Clerk OF
the Superior Court, Atlanta, Ga.
writes: "Vinol is the ideal preparation
Of cod liver oil; it p%urifes and enriches
the blood, induces a good appetite, pro-
notes digestion and invIgorates every
organ in the body"
Therefore, in the strongest manner
we indOrse and guarantee ViDOl TO in
crease the appetite, give strength to
the rundown, ltired and debiltated, in
vigorate and build up old people, make
rich, red blood, cure chronic coughs,
colds and bronchitis. II it fails, we re-
turn your money" ii. &. Crute &Co.,

Yesterday was circuit court for Lu-

in attendance. Congressman Southall
Messrs. Yarrell, Lassiter and Hildrup
made good and appropriate Democratic
speeches and were listened to with
much interest.

There was an application on yester-
day to the court for police protection
at Macfarland's, in Lunenburg, and
Judge Barksdale was Of opinion that
from what he could learn that it was
a very quiet place aud did not need
police protection. 1t is therefore
thought to be no easy matter to get Ii
cense to sell liquor at that place.

EdifOr Hcraid:-I sat i'm the front
porch Of a home, near the great ship
yard at Newport News recently at the
noon hour, and watched the thousands
employed therein running to and from
their dinners. ! say running, for that
was literally true Of their movements.
And not only were they hurried as they
went To and returned from their meals,
but ate IN a hurry too. And what II
the inevitable result OF all this2 No
thing but dyspepsia with all its at
tendant ills. This ought not TO be.
These eating hours Of the working men
should be so regulated that they would
not be subjected to any such health
destroying habits. And this could be
done without pecuniary loss TO en-
ployee or employer.
On the same day, at an early hour Of
the morning, / stood on the principal
street Of this hustling young city, and
watched many Of these same nell go
ing to the great yard to begin the days

airy and foolish h%urrying again. Some
men had remained in bed just ten
minutes too long, others had loitred 10y
the way side, with the result that the
whistle sounded when they were
squares Off from the work field. And
then such break-neck speed. OfcOurse
they began the days task out Of breath,
and hardly caught it again during the
day. Here the men are at fault, and
they must apply the correction, II the
bad habit is TO be abandoned, and in the
other case the corporation must intro
duce the remedy. But this false
method is not confined TO ship yard

and it is self-imposed. MAKE haste

reformation may lead to another and
so on until the whole is learned.

Yesterday being court day at Buck

that the Woodbridge and Forbes cases
would be taken up, and others were at

The celebrated burning cases were

a change Of venue will be granted, and
the cases tried at Farmville by a Prince

The MasOns OF FarmVille have dedl-
Gated to an hOnOred and hOary past as
we'll as to a living present a beautiful
and attractive temple where the prin-
ciples Of the venerable and venerated
order are exempliied from time To
time and wherein varied mysteries
are revealed, but on last Wednesday
afternoon at 4 O'Clock, the Masonic
mecca was dedicated and consecrated
10 the celebration Of the God-given and
God blessed rite OF marriage, when
Miss Jennie Sturman became tie bride
Of Mr.. Samuel A. Hantor. Aarmyille
never witnessed a more representative
or more brilliant ~assemblage than
gathered within the temple walls on
this most interesting occasion, and for
the first time i'm its history, so far as
we recall, it witnessed a marriage GER
emOny in conformity with the laws Of
Moses.
IL was unique to us and at the same
time strangely and sOlemnly impress
sive. The bride entered from the
main entrance to the hall, accompa-
MED by her father, while the groom,
attended by his best man, came i'm
from one Of the anti-rOOms. They
met and stood while the ceremony was
being performed under a silkeu canopy,
supported by four stalls, which were
held by Messrs. Sol. SturInan, Raphael
Sturman, Abe Hackerman and Hyman
Levy.
Rabbi j. l.. Myberg, Of GOldsbOr0,
n. G., began the ceremony in Hebrew
but quickly and gracefully glided into
the use Of the English, when those of
us familiar with that tongue began to
appreciate how that marriage under the
old dispensation doesn't very much
differ from marriage under the new.
The use Of wine was Of urse all novel
to us and its true significance we do
not as yet appreciate, but that it has
happy significance we do not question.
The crushing Of the last glass from
which the wine had been taken under
the feet of the groom started the ques-
ton, "what does it mean ?" Weare
not able to answer the question, but
will never forget the impresslveness Of
the scene.
As was most mete and proper the
ceremony closed with an earnest invo-
for heavens benedictiOn upon
the two hearts now to beat a. one, and
the happy pair repaired to the home Of
the brides parents, Mr. and Mrs. w.
Sturman, where an informal reception
was held, after which Mr.. and Mrs.
Lantor left on the east bound train for
Washington, New York, Chicago and
st. Louis.
Among the many gifts made the
bride was a check for 5000 from a
New York uncle, and a solid
silver set Of twelve pieces from the
groom's cousins at Pocahontas.
On their return Mr.. and Mrs. Lantor
will reside in Bluefeld, w. Va, in
