Feminine
Snapshots
Have You Ever Noticed
/ the Smokers Mouth

1t Is said that the smoking habit IL
rapidly increasing among fashionable
women. II 80, this is sadly to be re-
gretted, for then the feminine face,
with its mobile features, will rapidly
manifest the smokers mouth. This
smokers mouth is undoubted and un-
mistakable among men who are slaves
to pipe and cigar. The tobacco smok-
ing habit among the masculine sex has
increased SO greatly Of recent years
that in some cases 1t is actually stew

dopy, saying nothing Of the dread dis

ops upon the tobacco smoking slaves
tongue or mouth. have been travel
ing on the New York city elevated
trains row for number Of years,
meanwhile keeping my eyes open. The
Incorporate smoking of tobacco has in
creased certainly SO per cent among
men within a few years, and 1t Ia i'm
printing upon the countenances Of
Americans the fixed smokers mouth
1t is not beautiful mouth, nor does
the odor the besoaked tobacco victim
carries about him suggest roses. The
man who puffs cigars constantly must
carry the cigar between his lips. The
lips are easily changed in shape. The
side of the mouth on which the cigar is
carried in time says and gets out of
shape, giving the smoker a soured. fab
by expression-likewise one sided
face. Still worse 1t is when the weight
Of an old pipe, tugged at all day. must
be borne by the mouth. If the pipe is
carried in the center Of the mouth aft
er awhile the lower lip is permanently
turned downward and outward, caus-
ing different phase Of deformity in
the smokers mouth. The lips are In
every case discolored and stained a
yellowish brown hue In place of the
rich red Of the untainted lips. With all
my soul l hope. even for the sake OF
their looks alone, women will never
get this uncomely smokers mouth.
Here is question for women to
settle: A man had been married thirty
years and was the father Of twelve
children. His wife, the children's moth

no peace night or day. The only way
he was able to live with her was to

Farmville Girl's Essay.

By Lillian Leigh Wilson, agel2.
our country was first discovered by
Christopher Columbus in 1892. 1t
was then rough wild country and
nobody lived there except the Indians.
Aner a while Amerigo Nespueci came
TO the new country and wrote some
thing about it SO the people named ii
after him. Four nations claimed
North America, the Spanish, English
and France
In 1920 some Pilgrims came over and
landed al Plymouth The first win
Ter was a hard one and a lot Of them
died. The next year was better and
the crops were good, SO the Governor
set apart day for giving thanks,
which he called Thanksgiving Day."
and il has been the custom ever since.
More people came until thirteen States
were settled. We had a great deal of
trouble with the Indians. but finally
they stopped We won in the French
and Indian WAITS i'm which Washington
was the commander. England Op-
pressed the people unjustly and made
them pay heavy taxes for many years.
In the year of 100 we had a war with
England called the Revolutionary war.
The war lasted for about seven years
when she surrendered and declared
us free country. We had another
war with England i'm 1872 in which we
defeated England again. The civil
war was between the North and South
ON the slavery question. The North
wa, victorious this time.
There are as States and four terri
tories in the United States now. The
reason that our country is called the
Omitted States is because all the
States are united under one govern
ment think that we should be very
proud of the United States because we
have such a free government and there
j, no war among us. And because it
is the youngest country in the world,
and it now ranks among the other
powerful nations Of the world.

Paw Your Bills.

The man whose credit is unimpeach-
able, who, In word, is honest and so
reputed, has a capital on which he
may draw at all times and without
interest.
Establishing credit is the first inn
portant step in business. Maintain
ing that credit is an ever present, al
ways-wlth-you demand, and unless
you maintain it and keep it unsullied,
embarrassment will follow quickly.
With your credit impaired you can
buy only what you have money to pay
for promptly. With your credit good
your ready money scarcely enters into
consideration.
Therefore guard your credit and see
that your bills are paid as promptly
as good management and circumstan-
ces will permit. Never allow yourself
to be careless about your obligations
to others, and your business way will
be cleared Of many obstacles.

Hampden-Sidney, Va, Feb. S 'Oj.
The second dacen of the winter was
given by the Comfy Club on Friday
night, in its own house, and was pro-
nounced a success, both from social
and financial standpoint. The music
was rendered by the Farmville band,
and was good; the floor was in good
condition, the young ladies charming,
and the boys enthusiastic. What more
could be needed to make a delightful
evening? Light refreshments were
served at intervals during the evening
by the ladies of the club. The young
ladies present were: Miss Hunter from
Richmond, Misses frankie McKin-
ney, March Edmunds and Hundley
from Farmville; the Misses Cox,
Brock, Marsten, Watkins, Kelly
and Peasants from the Normal
Miss Jennie Tabb chaperoned the Nor
NAL girls. The chaperones for the
evening were Mrs. Brock, Mrs. Whit
ing and Mrs. f. w. Venable. Misses
Susie and Emma Nenable assisted in
serving the refreshments. The only
gentlemen out side the college were
Mr.. Vernon Venable, Of Famville, and
DR.. Morton Holiday. Dancing was
kept up until twelve. There is a ru-
NOR that there will be another dance
about the oath given by the College
German Club.
We are glad to be able to state that
Mrs. Sally Paulett is much better.
Mrs. NJ +. Edmunds has been con-
fined to the house by severe cold, and
could not fill her place at the organ
on Sunday.
Mrs. NJ. NJ. Armstrong has returned

Hon. R. W. wlther. at the Normal.

/ IL is rare that commencement Oc-
casion has ever been frightened by
such flashes of genius, OF thrilled by
more Of genuine eloquence than was
true Of the closing scene in that OF the
recent State Female Normal, when the
Hon. r.. w. Withers, of Suffolk, adj
dressed the graduating class Of this
institution. Mr.. Withers had won the
hearts Of his audience before he stood
in their presence because Of his ear
nest, able and winning fight before
legislature i'm the interests Of the
school, and his reputation as ora
tor had preceded his coming. Judge
Watkins, who had served with him in
the legislature, presented him TO the
audience i'm words well chosen and we'll
spoken, and when the honored guest
Of the occasion arose to his feet he was
greeted with such welcome as only Vir-
ginia girlhood could give. Appreciate
ing the responsibilities that the hour
brought to him, the golden opportunity
that was passing, the gifted orator in
his opening sentence captured his
hearers by his earnestness Ofsoul, elo-
quence Of tongue and grace Of manner
that held them willing captives till
his last word had been spoken.
The young and loyal and loving Vir-
ginian stood before Virginia teachers
and scholars, mental and moral and
physical forces which were to mould
characters, influence spirits, dictate
destinies, control thinking either for
veal or woe, and with a soul ahame
with sympathy, a tongue thrilling
with eloquence, and mind charged
with the truths of his great theme, did
he tell OF educated woman's mission,
woman's obligation. How glorious
that work in the eyes Of the speaker,
and how glorious he made it appear in
the eyes of others. How noble the am
bton Of the cOnsecrated teacher, and
how splendid the reward. How richly
endowed the girl who having had the
privileges of this Virginia 5 only school
for girls has taken advantage Of them,
and how fully equipped for the life
work Of the larger field.
On occasions like this whispering
is sometimes heard and disorder some
times prevails, but while this manly,
earnest, forceful plea for nobler wo-
manhood was being made every ear
was attentive to every sound, and
every eye frightened and glistened
and cleaned as soul met soul in kim
dred desire to be nobler and better.
We are glad to have had Mr. With
ers in our midst, we stand ready TO
welcome his return and it gives US
genuine pleasure to say that his pre-
sence and words were uplifting, in
spring, helpful.
