ORGAN Recital.

The organ recital given Thursday
night, the 9th, i'm the Presbyterian
Church by DR.. August Schemmel.
Director Of the Farmville Conservatory
Of Music, i'm honor Of the students O!
the Summer Normal, was not only de-
lightfully entertaining but was one Of
unusual INTEREST.
Dr. Schemmels knowledge of tech
nique and his power Of execution was
marvelously shown i'm the selections
which gave the organ the sound Of a
flute, trombone and clarinet, especial
~ so in the composition Of Miss Mat
tie :. Willis as a flute solo. The pro-
grammc was entirely classical and
every number was rendered in a de-
lightfully pleasing manner
Misses Shows, Morgan's and Mr..
Harrison's solos were given with the
grace and finish that manifested real
musical feeling. Deserving of special
mention was the violin solo lHauser's
Cradle Song 10y Miss Minnie Banton.
The accompaniment was so skillfully
played that it gave the general effect
Of a string quartet.
DR.. Schemmel concluded the pro-
gramme with his own compositions
which were beautiful indeed, for in
each the soul Of the artist revealed
itself.

there had been a lively cannonade in

the FarmNille boys could not disludge
the enemy and had 10 retire from the
stubbornly contested field leaving
Appomattox In possession.
Ten times did the Famyille attack

each time planting their standard, but
as many times, and one time more,
did Appomattox swoop down on the
home guard the last time driving
them from the field.
Lion was the l3 inch gun for
Farmyile and his Blenders kept the
enemy guessing IL was everybody,

Marked by its enthusiasm was the
meeting Of the stockholders OF the
Peoples National Bank which was
held on last Saturday morning at
Prince Edward Hotel for the purpose
of organizing. Everyone present was
optimistic aud expressed great faith

iicant that every share Of the So 900

Camp Life on Macadam Road.

IL would, we think, entertain any
one who cared TO make visit out on
the Macadam road 10 where the Luck
Construction Company have establish
ed their camp. They are working at
both ends of the road, and placed
their tents in Mr. Womack's woods,
Just beyond his house. Their work ON
the road near the corporate limits Of
the town, has put new face on the
red hill leading down 10 little Buffalo
creek. Gullies that were from 10 to T.
feet deep have been filled, and bug
gies can now pass and repass. They
begin work at u A. VI give an hour
for dinner ana work until Is r. NJ.
4 little before O'Clock on Tuesday
blasts could he heard out beyond the
camp, aud we were told that dynamite
was being used TO uproot stumps that
were on their bright of way At
o o'clock men and teams began 10 ar
rive in camp from East and West,
hot and dusty, and so soon as time
had been given 90 wash hands and
faces, the evening meal was spread.
The summons to "come to supper
was sounded by the biggest triangle
we ever saw OF heard-it was loud
enough To he heard at Jim Womack's
house. And il had the desired result.
\ COOL meal il VA, too, which was
enjoyed no less by the visitors than it
was by those who had toIled all day
i'm the searching heat.
But the thing that impressed us
most was the good humor which SEEM
ed to have possession Of the "bosses'
as well as Of the laborers. There was
no grumbling and growing because
this was so and so, or that was not
different from what it was. Had you
ever thought that cold tea with great
blocks of real ice would be served out
at road camp? real good "sto' tea,
too, as the old darkey said.

Burkeyille until recently for the past
six months and was wonderfully inn
pressed with the Improvements since
was last there The business houses
generally have been made up.to-date
in appearances and appointments, the
postotllce has put on city airs, the
streets through which we passed are
clean and well kept, while the new
depot has excited the profound graft
tude Of the travelling public.
Farmville has fine depot building
but the "Jim Crow" feature OF the
Burkeville railroad home is better than
fine. What's wrong with FarmViile
anyhow that she stands out well nigh
alone in this regard? Here il live
question for your Board Of Trade.
No decent white man is mad with
the negro, but all decent white men
agree that in order to keep from get
ting mad the two races must be kept
separate and distinct.
Crewe must keep an eye on Burke
vile or she will be lefl in the race.

Terrific Electric Storm.

\ terrific lightning and thunder
storm visited Farmville Sunday night
during the hour OF church services.
Many persons declare it the worse
storm they ever witnessed. There
were two distinct storm clouds which
seemed 10 have met just over this town,
and when at the height Of their sever
ity the electric lights were extinguish-
ell which added much TO the dread Of
the nervous ones. The storm lasted
quite All hour, during much Of which
time the rain fell in torrents.
No damage has been reported from
the storm, and it is said that the rain
did not extend a distance Of five
miles from town in more than one
direction. In some accountable
way hundreds Of English sparrOws
were killed during the progress Of the
storm. In the courthouse yard alone
were found dead as many as forty Of
the feathery tribe.

What Has He Made?

men so well managed his fortune Of
twenty million as to double il in three
years. suppose he has, what them
What has he made by thus increasing
his wealth, except increased worri-
ment TO keep the run Of his increased
wealth? With his increased wealth he
eats no more quail and turkey than he
did when worth ten millions. lie
dresses no better and has a thousand
times less fun. We beat him on the
sleep and d ave no law suits with ten
nants and trespassers. Robbers lay
for him every time he goes out Of doors
after dark. They don't think Of US.
The man with sixty millions ofdollars
has sixty millions-of troubles. To
keep the run Of his rents, bonds and
real estates keeps him at hard work
fourteen hours a day and yet he only
gets three square meals day, which
is just what we obtain without any
millions, any tenants and only have to
work eight hours a day to credit zap all
who pay their subscription.
Ifmen's happiness increased with
their money, everybody should be JUS
titled in worshiping the Golden Calf
The happiness increases with their
earning, up To a certain point
point necessary TO secure them the
comforts Of life, say $1,000 year. All
beyond this is superfuous. Being
supeihuous il is productive Of no good
whatever. The richer the man the
greater is the probability that his SONS
will live on billiards and die in the i'm
ebriaie asylum. With contentment
and s. ,OOO year man may be as
happy as a prince. Without content
ment you will be miserable, even if
your wealth equals that Of Morgan or
Carnegie.

Wants Wheat.

Elior Hcroid: The impression
seems to have been made that the
Famville Mills VIII not buy wheat
this season. SO far a the Farmville
Mills is concerned we wish TO pur-
chase all merchantable wheat that is
offered on this market. We did say
on account Of several new stand Of
rolls and other machinery we are in
stalling in our mill we would prefer
waiting till the first Of August before
buying crops Of wheat, but have never
said we would not buy wheat during
this season. We are here for business
and wish to buy all wheat that is free
Of onions and cookie, and will pay the
highest cash price for same as we
always have done since we have own
ed the Farmvile Mills.
respectfully,
w. VI. DCvALL, Treasurer,
The Farmville Mills.
