Experience A Good Teacher.

We have had five thousand, three
hundred and twenty-One days OF
actual daily experience i'm the fire in
surance business. During that period
we have taken up two hundred and
fifty thousand dollars worth of burned
policies, so TO speak. Every man or
woman who held these policies are
satisfied with their settlements.
In addition 10 this daily grind Of eX-
perience, our agency represents more
money than any insurance agency I'M
the State of Virginia. Again, We do
not believe you will find agents who
will be more prompt i'm 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 he eXcelled 10y any agent or agents
i'm the business.
This is not written i'm a presump-
tuOus manner, but the statement II
made because we are determined TO
excel when il comes to insurance. In
fact, the statements made above carry
out our argument that we sell "lnsu-
rance that Insures.' Do you not
think these are good and sufficient
reason, to patronize us?

Another Sunday In Farmyille

Gloriou, day in the natural world
and let us hope in the spiritual as
well:
Happy are we if we come to the
one day i'm seven which the Maker
claims for his own, and find ii a Sab
bath, a holy rest indeed. Six days
have been enough TO weary us, body
and mind, and to draw us downward
To the sOrdd and sOiling Of the world.
Strange that men should need com
mandment, written prescription,
Remember the Sabbath day. Strange
that all are not found longing for its
coming. and making the Sabbath a de-
light, In the Sabbath which God
has planned what an uplift there is,
out Of these hurrying week days, out
Of the noisy and the earthly, out OF
the common and the downward, up
into the things which belong to the
spirit, the thing, not seen, the COM
panionship in heaven
1t can not be said that ours is not
a church going people, and never
were congregations larger, nor music
sweeter nor preaching better than on
last Sunday. ours is a goodly heri-
tage.n

At cost Of about 5000 the officer,
and members Of the First Colored Bap-
list Church Of Farmville, erected a
house of worship, and during the few
years since have shown themselves to
be most excellent money getters. The
entire cost Of the structure, interest
accumulations included, was about
sl2. 900, and when at the close of their
annual rally-day services last Sunday
it was ascertained that a sum suilic-
lent had been raised to lift the mort
gage there was much rejoicing.
The pastor Of the church, Rev. r.
4. p. Cheek, is an indefatigable work
er himself and tolerates no drones.
He, the official board, and in fact the
entire membership are grateful for the
generous aid given them by outsiders,
both white and colOred, in their long
and laudable efforts TO free their
church of debt.

An Old-New Waist.

one of our Normal girls appeared
at breakfast one day last week In
a white waist that excited gen.
eral admiration. On inquiry 1t was
found that it was made ola table cloth
which has been in use for 40 years
and more. OF course it was original
ly Of the very best material and tho
old it was as spotlessly white as is the
snow when it is still in mid-air. We
do something's our forefathers did not
do but they did many things better
than we have ever been able to do
same things.

was a merchant, who, seated in an
old-time split bottom chair, was actu-

he didn't have in stock just the arti-

piest housekeeper saw had the big
gest and greenest salad square, fresh
eggs from her own hens and butter
fashioned into shape by her own
hands having been just taken from
her own churn.
The most thoughtful housekeeper |
had the pleasure Of seeing was the one
who when we were seated at the table
announced that she had a cherry roll
for the second course. 1t is nothing
but genuine goodness to give such
premonitions. The sunshine and
shadow Of affairs terrestrial were inn
pressed upon me when / saw butter
