a few minutes after n o'clock Fri
day night, May 2ith, 1901, William r..
Davidson, son of Mr. and Mrs W. NJ.
Davidson, Of Farmville, pas ed TO his
eternal rest, aged forty-onc years
His death has brought the bitter
cup Of sorrow to many friends and rel

the important pos ition Of chairman OF
the Finance Committee. He was "a
model Of mental industry in his efforts
for community interests, and was
strictly honest in the service he rem
dered.
It's sad at any time TO stand beside
the bed of the dying aud watch LIES
ebbing tile. drifting the loved one
slowly, but surely into the great ocean
of eternity, but when there comes
whispering from parched lips: 81 have
/ lived for this day, and am ready to
90 without fear" it brings a balm to
the wounded heart. Thus closed the
life Of this good man. TO the sorrow
ing father, mother, brothers, sisters,
wife and children, who sit in grief
where his footsteps shall never again
find echo, we extend our heartfelt
sympathy.

How 10 Spend Vacation.

E,if0r Hcroids-I heard a most inn
pressiye address recently nom ayoung
man who labors as missionary among
the miners Of Wsst Virginia. 1t was
delivered in one OF the large churches
Of the State and before a large, and
rich, and cultivated audience which
had sent this young man to that Inn
portant field and who are supporting
him there.
The address was rich In instruction,
graphic IN description and one long to
be remembered. Just before closing
he sad, 81 have an invitation for
those Of you who expect to leave home
for "a summer vacation. Instead Of
going 10 fashionable resorts come out
20 my work field.n have never list
ened 10 a more stirring appeal and |
feel that IL will bear fruit.
What made IL more impressive TO
me was that II was in the line with
similar suggestions ! had seen in the
columns Of the Herald. The city pas
tors would do well TO spend their va
cation with the country churches in
which preaching is not regularly had.
The rest would be more refreshing than
they could lind in hotels, and the SER
vices would be 10 tia glory Of God and
to the good Of men.

Sad Mistake.

Editor Herdld.-I met an old farm
er recently who had contracted to sell
his home and farm, and when the
deed was to be made he asked piteous-
Nv. els there no way to get out Of this
honorably?" He just didn't want to
give up his home where he had been
living for sixty years. And no man
can afford to do this.
Let men Of this age, who have been
i'm one home for years hesitate before
ne agrees to any change. He can new
or hone to have another home this
side Of heaven, and as there is "no
Mace like homeu he would do well to
holden to it. This farmer was to get
in cash S 800, and what would he do
with it? Lend it out at per cent and
have a hard time living on 1t, or else
DENY himself the fat chickens and
fresh eggs he had been accustomed l'
ON the farm. Labor is higher and sc
are lands. Hold on to your home un
less YOU know just where to put th'
money to advantage. And money
will not buy the old spring house. The
old shade trees, the old chamber The
old porches.

The wind blew, the lightnings dashed

The Folly Of the Day.

Theirs is a dreadful ambition abroad
for being "genteel." We keep up APP
pearances too often al the expense Of
honesty; and though we may not be
rich. vet we must seem To be respect
able" though only in the meanest
sense i'm mere vulgar show. We have
not the courage 10 go patiently onward
i'm the condition OF life i'm which it has
pleased God 90 call US, but mustneeds
i'm some fashionable state To which we
ridiculously please TO call ourselves,
and all to crafty the vanity Of that
unsubstantial, genieel world, of (which
we form part There is constant
struggle and pressure for front seats
IN the social amphitheatre; in the
midst Of which all noble, self denying
resolve is trodden down, and many
fine natures are inevitably crushed to
death. What waste, what misery,
what bankruptcy, come from all this
ambition To dazzle others with a glare
of apparent worldly success, we need
moi describe. The mischieyous re-
suits show themselves in a thousand
ways-in the rank frauds committed
bv men who dare to be dishonest, but
do not care TO seem poor; and in the
desperate dashes at fortune, in which
the pity is not so much for those wh'
fails as for the Ina .dreds of innocent
families who are so often involved II
their ruin.
