The Whiskey is Bad.

Editor Herald: ] was listening to
a conversation between two American
citizens in one Of the towns of Virgin
la recently, when one Of them said,
IL am just from the town Of Farmville
and while there l bought a bottle Of
whiskey from the dispensary, and it
turned out to be a most inferior article,
the fact is absolutely bad. And paid
q good price and thought was buy
ing q good article"
wondered then. have been won
dering since and still wonder that a
dispensary, in the profits from which
the public alone is interested, should
sell any bad whiskey. l am perfectly
persuaded that no man should be in
duced or even allowed to drink mean
whiskey and if he can't afford to pay
for a pure article let him go without it,.
There is no excuse that dispensary
should sell any but the best. There
should be some means for testing and
knowing the pure from the bad. Let
the test be applied and the patrons Of
the Farmville Dispensary protected
against "pisen." VIA.

Plea for New Station.

Farmville, Va, April 'O5.
Editor Herald:-A short time ago
read in your paper that Burkeville was
anticipating a big boon, and while
things are on the move, / sincerely
hope the citizens Of that place will put
i'm plea for a new station. For no
matter how many Improvements are
made, or how many new enterprises
are set on foot TO the general public
the name Of Burkeville will always
bring to mind many unpleasant re-
collections, certainly TO those who
have ever had TO "change cars at
Burkeville." You very often hear ex-
pressions Of this kind from travellers,
"Burkeville is the last place on earth, "
"that horrid, dirty, smOoty Burke
vile" and all because Of that dirty UNI
accommodating railroad station. L heard
Of one traveller that changed trains
there at night who said that every
thing was so dark and smOOty he
thought he had reached the clover
regions" For the last twenty years l
have spent many uncomfortable II
could well say miserable) hours wait
ing for the train at Burkeville, and /
know all about il. Now If the clti-
zens wish 10 get their town on hus-
tie, and ! wish them all success, let
the first effort be towards having a
new station; such one as we have in
Farmville for instance, where ii would
be pleasure for one TO wait a few
hour, for train. First impressions
are the most lasting il is said, and
with a nice waiting room, with every
thing clean and comfortable what
different impression would be made
on strangers who pass there from day
TO day. / would like 10 say, let the
name Of Burkeville remain the same,
but let the change be a new station
instead Of new name, "Bonaqua"
would sound just as bad with the same
old station. a Reader.

Experience A Good Teacher.

We have had five thousand, three
hundred and twenty-one days Of
actual daily experience in the fire in
surance business. During that period
we have taken up two hundred and
fifty thousand dollars worth Of burned
policies, 80 to speak. Every man or
woman who held these policies are
satisfied with their settlements.
In addition to this daily grind OF eX-
perience, our agency represents more
money than any insurance agency in
the State Of Virginia. Again, we do
not believe you will find agents who
will be more prompt in executing your
orders, more proficient in writing your
policies, or more courteous in their
business transactions. We make a
speciality Of selling insurance, and will
not be excelled by any agent OF agents
in the business.
This is not written in a presump-

made because we are determined to
excel when il comes TO insurance. In
fact, the statements made above carry

rance that Insures.n Do you not
think these are good and sufficient
reasons to patronize us2

The Doll Exhibition

The doll show has come and gone.
and left pleasant memory in its
wake. No en-cent-admission-fe ever
brought so much Of genuine interest in
the history Of Farmville.
1t was unique and unqualified pleas
ure to stand in the silent but stately
presence Of 300 little personages re-
presenting well nigh every cline, kim
dred and tongue Of earth. The efforts
OF sovereign and Of savages had been
fashioned into formand symetry with
the kindred and kindly desire to
please the children, and ours was the
privilege Of studying them.
Cunning fingers had wrought from
diverse and differing materials into
striking and well nigh speaking like
nesses the face and form Of the baby
and Of the belle, Of the statesman and
Of the soldier, Of the prince and of the
peasant, of the herald and Of the hun
ter, Of the pappoose and Of the prin-
cess. Hoary Egypt contributed to the
attractive assemblage, and picturesque

and the Indian mother to perpetuate
the memory Of her child, and the pa
triotic maiden to enshrine some story
Of heroism on land and sea.
Some Of us fingered longest at the
Indian table, others where the one ball !
headed Chinese contribution was to
be seen, and still Others where the |
little lady clad in royal robes waited |
for admirers.

The dress that had been worn for
100 years and yet without spot or wrin-
kle or patched place, the wearer as
much in love with it as when it first
touched her person appealed most
to us. And then we wanted
TO WOO and win the maiden who had
been transmitting her presence into
pennies, her graceful dress into golden

the fingers that fashioned cocanuts

sided over the different tables, and
who with so much tact and grace in
iroduced us TO the strangers within
