What Does II Mean ?

Editor Herdid:-Can it be possible
that there is an intelligent citizen Of
Farmville, one who has the best in
terests Of the town at heart, opposes
the improvement Of our public high
ways?
l am told that such was the effect Of
petition which was presented TO the
Board of Supervisors at the last ses-
sion, on last Friday. Are not our
public roads the arteries through
which the life blood of trade reaches
US? Wouldn't Farmville perish from
the face of the earth if country sup
plies were cut Off? Let's think twice
before killing the goose that lays the
golden eggs.
We have good streets and perfect
side walks, and it should be our joy
TO aid in giving good roads to our
country friends. But if we are not to
know the JOY Of a fellow-feellng that
makes men wondrous kind, we should
at least take care Of ourown interests,
and not erect mud barriers across the
pathway Of progress.
The Board should not only he COM
mended for using surplus money for
the betterment of public roads, but
the people should go down deeper in
to their pockets 10 improve them. Bad
roads must 90, aud better times will
come, .

Veteran T. II. Rodgers, Of Pamplins,
called at the Herald Office on last Sa-

EASTER SUNDAY IN FARNVILLE.
BRIGHT Day, Large Congregations, Happy
peoDle. "Dav O. All ihe Days
the Best.

The sun Of Easter morning arose IN
a cloudless sky and though the air
was crisp and cold living on such a
day was a positive luxury.
Our churches were all opened,
pews were filled, singing glad and in
spring, sermons appropriate and help
full and such privileges as we enjoyed
must have brought rich blessings.
There is a great awakening just now
in England and elsewhere on the pro-
per observance of the Lords day.
What William Penn called a pub
lie mind seems to be on the increase
among the serious thinking people Of
the world. The big problems Of the
day are receiving close and disinter-
ested attention. Small differences
are sunk in pursuit of common goal.
Thus, throughout Christendom, the
problems of a proper observance Of
the first day of the week is arousing
considerable interest In Great Brit
tain there is a. Lords Day Alliance
which is officially sanctioned and sup
ported by the highest ecclesiastical Of
ficials of the Roman Catholic Church,
the Anglican Church and the Free
Churches. All denominational differ
ences are put aside in order to unite
in a common defense of what is felt
to be a bulwark of all religion and
good morals. If Christendom loses its
rest day as holy day it suffers loss
beyond measure. -
Farmville would do well to join in
the movement for a better observance
of the day, not that the day is not
now observed by our people, but that
it could and should be better observ-
ed.
Let us be careful to make it not on
ly a rest day but holy day as we'll
This done and we will take up the
work of the new week with more
strength for its burdens and more
grace for the discharge of its changing
and ever exacting duties.

minded at q late hour Of last Saturday
evening that Easter bonnets would be

generous aid of high chair, reached
the coveted prize aud grasped it with
eager delight. The dust was gently
brushed away, the fiji was formed to
be perfect and the effect charming.
When with the easy grace and dig
nifed mien of queen, she entered
her accustomed place of worship at the
hour of worship on the following
