SANCO, VA, Aug. 30, 1904.
Most all the people Of this neighbor-
hood attended the Appomattox associa-
ton which was held at Sharon last
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
We enjoyed it very much. II caused
the farmers TO be quite busy Friday
and Saturday in their tobacco.

%Farmyille, Va, Aug. 30, 'Oi
Edif0r Hlrald.-We have been in
formed that a notice signed by a ma
jOrity of the tobacco buyers Of the town
Of Farmville, including the great
American Tobacco Company and the re-
preventative Of the Imperial Tobacco
Company, has beenserved on the inspec-
tons of the several warehouses Of the
town that they would no longer buy TO-
baccoa at the warehouses il the buyer was
required to pay the pitiful sun Of four
cents per hundred lbs. This is an old
custom among our warehouses, and a
small tax upon the buyer for the privi-
lege of going upon the warehouse floors
TO buy his tobacco.
We must confess a great surprise at
the stand taken by the buyers and es-
pecially that the great American To-
bacco Company should refuse to pay
this small sum, when they TOY control
the trade Of the world and doing a bust
Ness amounting to millions and mil
lions " dollars. Some 90 per cent Of
the cigars, cigarettes and chewing to-
bacco sold by our merchants come d.
rectly from the factories Of this corpO-
ration.
We are reliably informed that this
tax OF duty is paid in other markets.
Why then 10 make the exception in
Farmville? The warehouses can't be
built and run for the fun Of it, the
buildings cost large sums Of money,
aud it is a great convenience to buyers
a. well as sellers to have large and COM
mOdiOus room i'm which TO show their to-
baccO and the buyer to make his choice.
The farmer is made to pay his portion
Of the charges, and the greater portion
at that, then why should the buyer ex-
pect to have the privilege Of the ware
house floors and not pay the small sum
Of four cents per hundred lbs. is strange
Ia say the least. The buyers have been
paying this duty, or tax, for a long,
long time and when tobacco was sell
ing high, and the farmer satisfied; %
tobacco is selling below the cost Of pro-
duction, and the stock Of the American
Tobacco Company above par. A halt
should be called, if the low price Of
tobacco continues and the corporations
grow richer, the farmer or producer OF
tobacco will by necessity, in order to
feed and clothe his wife and children,
be compelled to stop the cultivation Of
tobacco and resort to other means for
support. You will find out when it il
too late you have killed the goose that
laid the golden eggs.

given and accepted, and at IL we went.
My captain said: 81 can beat you and
am going to do itn And he did throw
the spray in their faces and left them
In the distance. So confident was he
Of the f~eet-footedness Of his craft, that
when he had left his best antagonist a
mile in the rear. he just whirled about
an back TO and around il, laughed at
them and OF he went again. Ofcourse
! hollered too. Couldn't help it, and
didn't want to help it. Instead Of
fishing we raced we'll nigh through the
day, and reached our wharf AS the sun
was going down, our boat still a mile
i'm front.
IL was new to me and very nice,
though at times the craft would lean
80 TO one side that / would cling To the
other and look at the captain.
We have no such sport in the South
side but il is still Goods country"

A Good Man. A Great Preacher.

Rev. j. Gray McAlister has preached
his last sermon as pastor Of the Pres
byterian church in this place and will
at once take up the work as assistant
professor of Hebrew in Union TheO-
logical Seminary, Richmond.
He has been in Farmville but one
brief year, but during that time has
endeared himself to the members OF
his flock and won the good opinion OF
all those who have been privileged TO
meet with him by a g%entleness Of man
ner, a charm Of conversation and a
che~erfulness Of spirit, permeated and
pervaded by a piety impressive but not
obtrusive, by a spirituality sunlit rath-
er than solemn.
In the pulpit he was scriptural,
scholarly, the orator, The logician, the
rhetOrician, the teacher. a messenger,
az we believe, sent Of God TO reach hu-
man hearts and 80 to make homes the
happier and lives the brighter and the
more useful. The loss Of such a man
from church and community is hard to
estimate, and the only comfort in con
nectiOn with II Is found IN the fact that
he has gone to impress his own sane
titled personality upon those who are
TO carry theglad tidings to fellow-men.
And may we not be permitted to
add, without violating any OF the pro
prieties Of life, that our loss is intensi-
fled when we not only lose the preach
er but the preachers wife, a. well ?
Mrs. McAllister came to us just a. the
roses Of the early summer time were
filling our gardens with fairness and
our homes with fragrance, and, like
the roses, began at once to brighten
every circle In which she moved and
to give a new thrill Of joy to every heart
she touched. The wife Of a minister, a
bride, among strangers and yet such
her exquisite tact, her refined taste,
her good sense, her good breeding, her
good heart that she won her way into
homes and hearts as the sunbeam Of
the fresh morning steals into sick
chambers to drive away the gloom and
to flood with glory.
Nothing remains for US but TO say
Goodbye and God bless you.

satisfy rs many more. This nelghb0r-

spot, and it keeps up that reputation

For the last two weeks there has beer
considerable activity apparent on thu
campus and college grounds generally
a force OF men has been moving owe
the whole place with the mower il
their wake and a most pleasing efIec.
has been the result.
Probably no institution in the coun.
try has more natural beauty Of sltua-
ton than lIampden-Sidney. With
their gentle fluctuations, eSy slopes
and magnificent trees, the college trees,
the college grounds are not easily sur
passed in picturesqueness.
Sometime ago Major Richord Ven
able, Of Baltimore, a distinguished
alumnus Of the college, conceived the
plan Of throwing together what were
the old seminary grounds and the col
lege campus and thinning out the dense
grove lying near the western end Of the
village. All this has been done, old
fences pulled down, old orchards up
rooted and the grounds smOOthed over
and put in grass.
Now Major Venable has returned to
the charge and is completing the work
then begun. The handsome tubular
iron fence separating the grounds from
the highway is being treated to a new
coat Of paint. The library also emerges
from the hands Of the painter with It's
columns and wood work Of a refreshing
whiteness. Some of the walks also are
being relaid and remade and other inn
provemehts are going on. Visitors on
the "Hill' are loud in their praise Of
the place and declare they never saw it
look 80 beautiful nor had they imagined
such results would be 50 readily attain
ed.
Major Venable's liberality has not
ended here, but he is a friend Of the
Comfy Club also. 1t is said that he
is prepared to make the club a substan.
tial gift. 1t is also reported that the
promoters are making excellent pro.
gress with the plan and hat work may
in the course Of two months.
This clubhouse is an enterprise Of the
the object Of which is to in
crease the social opportunities Of
the students.
