PARMvILLE VA, FRIDAY, MARCH ), 1909
MAKE HOME SUPPLY.

We notice that some baled hay IS
still being sold in this market, not in
such quantities, however, as in sea-
sons gone by.
We make no war on the trade OF
our merchants when we express the
hope that the time is not far in the
future when every bale of hay sold in
Farmville shall come from the farms
of the adjacent territory. When 1t
has been demonstrated that our acres
can be made to yield four tons to the
acre it is idle to say that grass can
not be grown in this section proflta-
bIy. What are known as peculiarly
hay-growing States make no better re-
port than this, and it certainly costs
no more to grow grass here than 1t
does elsewhere. And the farmer who
grows it must be certain to bale 1t.
The day for loose loads OF hay for
market is gone 1t must be pressed
into convenient form for handling
without waste.
We have made no inquiry on the
subject but sincerely hope no farmer
is buying hay in this market. Let
this be done by doctors, lawyers,
preachers, merchants and manufactu-
rers, but by farmers, never
Grow all you need at home, and
then have some for market. And how
much more pleasant to cut hay riding
on a mower, rake it with the aid OF a
horse. lift it with machinery and then
bale it than to be worming, suckerIng'
cutting and housing tobacco.

ULTIMATE AIM TO CLOSE
THEM ALL.

Rev. S. c. Hatcher Of Farmville
preached a sermon in the interest of
the Anh-Saloon League at Highland
Park Methodist Church last Sunday
night
Mr.. Hatcher said that he did not be-
lieve in abusing barkeepers, because
in many instances they were driven to
the liquor business because a large
percentage were foreigners, to whom
other avenues of making a living were
to some extent limited by reason of
their lack of knowledge of the Eng
lish language.
Mr.. Hatcher, however, did not fail
to make it plain that the League had
the closing of all saloons in mind as
its ultimate goal. He denied that the
League, as a league, was in politics.
Calling attention to the fact that
more than a third of all the saloons in
Virginia are located in Richmond and
Manchester, he said he did not believe
it proper for some other section of
the State to say that Richmond must
90 dry He wanted the communities
to vote out the saloon themselves. -

DEATH OF MRS. HOUSTON.

Mrs. Elizabeth Houston died sud
denly in her home at the Farmville
Lithia Springs on Thursday evening
of last week. She had not been well
for some days but the end came as
surprise and shock to her friends.
The burial took place at II A. NJ. on
Saturday in the town cemetery, and
the religious services at the grave
were conducted by Rev S. c. Hatch
er.
The death Of Mrs. Houston adds to
the loneliness Of Mrs. Peters TO whom
she was devotedly attached We have
been told that though thay lived with
in less than mile of each other they
exchanged daily letters redolent of
pure love. The ties Of earth are ever
breaking. There is comfort in the
thought that there are others that will
endure forever.
The following acted as pall-bearers:

Satisfied Stakeholder.

Walking out ON the new macadam
on one of those bright afternoons of
last week we met with Mr. j. C..
Hamlet mounted on a spirited and
housekeeping steed of his own rails
ing by the way, and had a wayside
chat with him.
lie had just met with the stockhold-
ers OF the new Creamery Company
and was satisfied with his investment
of 500. He added, I am an old
time tobacco grower and am going to
continue to grow the weed, and when
the rest of the boys 90 into the COW
business am going to pull the purse
strings of the tobacco magnates hard
and strong. No more low prices in
mine.
And there was a merry twinkle OF
his eve as he said it. Yes, the farm
ers will grow tobacco and raise corn
too, and make living profits out Of
each. We feel better because the
farmers feel better and after all they
are the authors of all substantial pros

A BAD SIGHT,

When those six negroes, charged
with murder and arson in the county
of Powhatan. were brought here for
safe keeping, and marched through
our streets, four men shackeled to-
gether, two women following hard by,
the sight was sad and depressing. The
devil is thus getting in his work and
the millennium is yet to come. And
now that the object-lesson has been
seen and the poor creatures are be-
hind the bars, what effect will it have
upon others of the race? VIII they
simply say, white man just punish
ing poor negroes for nothing?' and
then 90 on to do more wrong In
Richmond a fiend was recently con-
demned to die for the act of fiend
in human shape, and before the SEN
tence has been executed another
brother in black repeats the hein-
Gus, the hell-inspired offense, defiant
alike of the laws of God and man.

them and so makes them mad'

Rev. Mr.. Mcfarland, now Of North
Carolina. formerly the beloved pastor
of the Baptist Church in this place,
whose appreciative letter we gave to
our readers in last weeks Herald,
was only with us some two years, and
vet during that short time became so
interested in the place and the people
that he enjoys a weekly letter from
them and therefore renews his sub
scription to Farmville's only paper.
There are others, and we record the
fact in sorrow, who have been living
in Farmville scores Of years whose
names have not as yet appeared on
the list of subscribers.
The man or the woman who would
be a help to neighbors must live in
close touch with them, and so living
gets interested in them. Such are
our wants to know all that concerns
them that there may be ready sympa-
thy for sorrow and for joy. Bind your

Profitable Entertainment.

The ladies of the Baptist church

Where Was the Deacon?
dispensaTie'

Deacon Jones, the great man OF a
little village of Massachusetts,, whose
outward piety was of the vociferous
order, but whose charity toward his
fellow men was not as abounding as
il might have been, was dangerously
ID, and his brother deacons, impressed
with the custom of issuing bulletins
from the sick rooms Of prominent in
dividuals, decided to follow the fash
ion, with the following results:
D. 6 p. NJ. Deacon Jones is in a Sc
rious condition.
Up. NJ. Deacon Jones has raj
lied slightly
'9P. NJ. Deacon Jones has suf-
fered a relapse.
II p. NJ. Deacon Jones has de-
parted for heaven. "
Thus the bulletins read at midnight
but early in the morning some unre-
generate mortal who did not love the
Deacon, evidently passed that way
for the light of a new day showed GU

OUR WALKERS ON THE RUN.

The walking luxury is spreading in
Farmville. On a recent Sunday two
of our manly boys wanted to see
Grandma, " and dashed off sixteen
miles over mid-winter country roads
to reach her home. Nor did they stop
once to catch breath, but simply kept
up the pace until they had crossed
the threshold and received the vel
come. On last Sunday afternoon one
of the Normal teachers land it WASH t
a man with two of the girls as COM
panions, hurried over to the country
home of Judge Watkins, returned by
Major Venable's and were at home
for supper, fresh roses blooming on
their cheeks, and with appetites be-
fore which rolls, beat biscuit and old
ham fled as cravens run from the field
of battle
On the same afternoon two of our
young men who wanted to see old
Hampden-Sidney for the first time,
seated themselves in a rubber-tire
buggy, pulled the reins over fast
stopper, provided refreshments for
the outing and returned at sundown
congratuating themselves on marvel
GUS exhibit of physical prowess.
