Go see the Lyman Twins.
Mr.. II. T. Scott, Of Danville, was in
town this week.
The Lyman Twins are coming in
their blg musical comedy, "At the
Races"
Next TO church music that made by
the bells Of our warehouses is most ac-
ceptable TO the ears Of all Farmvile.
With that dispensary surplus Farm
willie needn't be afflicted with a poor
side walk OF badly paved street.
Mrs. J. W. Cawthon, Of Appomat-
tox, spent several days of this week
with her mother, Mrs. Kate Morris.
Freezing weather with bursting water
pipes and stove backs do not add charm
TO the winter season.
Miss Maud Chernault, one of the
graduates of 1905, left on Tuesday for
her home near Hampden-Sidney.
Some of the people on our streets
looked cold on last Saturday but those
of our merchants who were busy sell
ing goods were as warm as tOasts.
Many Of the gowns worn on the oc-
casion of the reception at the Normal
on last Friday evening were of the
highest order of artistic art and finish.
Don't say your ice house is not full
or il may be you have been wondering
that any man, woman or child should
ever want ice in any drink or food.
Hot chocolate" has been the fad.
Another treat for our show going
people is the appearance here soon of
the Lyman Twins and their big COM
pany in "At the Races"
The mid-winter vacation at the Nor
NAL was soon so "done for" that the
girls have been wondering what it
was "begun for"
Another glorious Sunday Of sun
shine, rest and worship. DAY Of all
the week the BEST" not only for man,
but beast as well. If the town mule
could have a say on the subject he
would agree with us.
Nineteen more thorough equipped
teachers for the public schools of Viz
ginia. The time is not far in the fu-
ture when the Normal graduate will
have her hand on the helm Of earth 5
educational craft in Virginia waters.
Now let the hunted bird alone. The
season in which the partridge has
been prey to the sportsman's shot
ended with the last day of January.
No true hunting sport will fire shot
at one now.
We regret to give up any one OF the
Normal girls and yet for the graduates
Of the session just closed we are re-
luctantly forced to say, goodbye. The
good wishes Of all Farmville, and their
God bless you follow you to your fu-
ture fields of labor.
The Waltham Watch Co., paid
81, 900 for the back cover page in one
issue Of Everybody's Magazine, and
we don't suppose they did it for fun.
On the contrary they knew it would
pay. Judicious advertising pays
everybody.
The rural free delivery routes in this
section are giving much satisfaction
and affording conveniences never be-
fore had by our friends in the country.
Several new ones commenced operat-
ing Wednesday; two from FarmViile
and one from Rice Depot.

homes is now being blessed and bright
ened and gladdened by the girl grsdu
ate Of not long ago. May they live
long and be happy.
At one time it was suggested tina
there should be no such thingas "com
mencement" at the Normal, and no"
we have two year. We welcome the
change. Girls and boys too when they
have won the diploma should receive
them in the presence Of admirinl
friends bearing blooming flowers. i
is our duty to drive as much Of gloon
out of life as possible and introduce al
much Of glow and good cheer.
It costs less than cents day to b'
