Sorry Went to Doctor.

New Castle, Del.-Feeling twinges
of pain in his left arm for evera
days, Alexander Terry thought that
he was suffering from rheumatism
until the other day the member began
to show a swelling. He then consulted
a surgeon. who found that a bone in
the forearm was broken and at once
set it and placed it on a board. Terry
said he was sorry that he had gone
to the surgeon. because putting the
arm on a board prevented him from
working.

IN THE PRESERVING SEASON
little Hints That II Observed Will Re.
suit In Satisfaction to the
Housewife.

Pears must be cooked until tender
before sugar is added, and one or two
pieces of ginger root gives a very
pleasant flavor.
Always cook fruit rapidly and in
small quantities If wanted especially
fine. either for canning or immediate
use.
Glass Jars with tops should be well
sterilized before using by putting into
cold water and bringing to a boil. Bet
ter to have new rubbers every season.
Apple sauce is much more savory If
apples are sweetened before beginning
to cook. They should always be
thoroughly cooked.
Tomatoes canned in glass sometimes
become insipid, but If sailed and pep
pered before canning and are we'll
wrapped in paper to exclude the light
they will keep fresh and sweet.
II tin cans are used for tomatoes
salt and pepper should never be put
in before canning, because of the &C.
ton OF the salt upon the tin, and great
care should be observed in having the
cans bright and new and perfectly free
from rust.
Peaches should always be carefully
washed before eating, as the fuzz on
the skin is said to cause sore throat
and they are much more easily and
comfortably handled if washed before
peeling for canning OF preserving.

ing the Meadow.

Clinton, N. John Bendig set fire
to a heap of brush in his meadow to
clean it up, and when he was on the
way back to the barn he was startled
by a tremendous kissing and whistling,
Looking back, he saw scores of long
blacksnakes gliding from the burning
brush and wriggling up into the
branches of a dead oak tree. They
kept coming as long as he looked, till
the huge trunk of the tree itself
seemed to squirm with life.
Bendig hurried to Jacob Zacher's
place and got Jacobs two boys, Milton
and Warty. to go back with him to
the meadow and take their rifles along
with them. They blazed away at the
snakes as fast as they could load and
fire. and when they got through there
were SO dead reptiles.

Injurious Insect Causing Much
Damage to Crop in Peru.
Charles n. Townsend, Government En-.
tomoIogist, Will Investigate Pest
n Inaugurate Peruvian En-
tomoIogist Service.

Boston, Mass.-Charles II. T. Town
send, government entomologist, who
has been connected with the expert
mental laboratory at Melrose High
lands has been granted a year and a
half leave OF absence in order that he
may accept a position with the gov
eminent OF Peru to investigate the
cotton scale which is giving that
country trouble. Mr.. Townsend, with
his wife and two children, leave this
country on October Is.
Mr.. Townsend is considered an au-
thority in entomology, and this, no
gether with his superior knowledge
OF the Spanish language, is largely
responsible for his selection to inves-
tigate the insect pests in Peru.
Mr.. Townsends' trip to Peru has a
double purpose, for, besides his inves-
tigation of the cotton scale, he will
be called upon to inaugurate a Peru
Wan entomologist service. He will
choose two or more graduates from
the school of agriculture in Peru and
train them in chronological work.
In speaking of his trip Mr.. Town
send said: There is a great deal Of
agriculture carried on in Peru and
they raise a superior grade of cotton.
The scale insect is causing a great
deal of injury to this cotton, so the
government of Peru has decided to
stamp out, if possible. the pest.
The scale insect is a new problem
in economic entomology and has proven
a very difficult insect to cope with.
The Peru scale attaches itself to the
bark on the trunk and branches.
Owing to the fact hat the plants arc
perennial the scale increases very
rapidly each year.
I'm Peru there are many other pests
to investigate, and these are found
ravaging in the orange and citrus
fruit groves, in the sugar cane, also
the grapes. These will be taken up
by me-"
The future work at the Melrose
Highlands labratory will be carried on
by William r. Thompson under the
direction of w. F. Fiske.

My dear old friends and comrades,

citizens of Farmville and of this en-
tire community.

The Folly Should Not Be Repeated
LET'S Use Common Sense at
All Times.

While a large audience sat in the
Opera House on Thursday evening of
last week, some one thoughtlessly
gave an alarm Of fire, and the ringing
of the fire bell was ordered. Fortu-
nately this was prevented by cooler
head, assurance was given that there
was no danger and excitement gave
way. A panic would have been read

The whole thing grew out Of a
prank which was played on a colored
boy by a company of white boys who
wanted a little fun without paying for
it. They simply locked the colored
kid in a room of the Armory building,
turned off the lights and then the
prisoner began to yell. The Armory
has been dedicated to the soldiers,

HypOCfiteS.

On last Sunday in our Sunday
schools the subject of our lesson dealt
with hypocrites, and we were remind
ed that many men and women make
excuse for not joining the church be-
cause OF the presence in it OF so many
hypoui,es. And yet we were also
taught very plainly that no hypocrite
ever enters Heaven, so that those per-
sons who would not spend an eternity
with hypocrites would be wise to make
sure Of the Celestial City
Yes, there are hypocrites in our
churches just as there are counterfeit
dollars in circulation the world over
but no man is afraid Of a good dollar
for the reason that there are some bad
dollars. Counterfeits always repre-
sent the good and hypocrites do the
same thing. The rational thing to do
is to Join the church and teach hypo-
critics the right way No one in Farm
vile or outside Farmville who believes
that all Christians are hypocrites, and
if there was but one genuinely good
man in all the community il would be
stronger proof of Gods powerto make
some good people out Of sinners.
There are good Masons and bad Ma
sons good Odd Fellows and bad Odd
Fellows, good citizens and bad citi-
zens, good Christians and bad Chris
tians, and the thing to do is to be a
good Mason, a good Odd Fellow, a
good citizen and a good Christian.

school class. search the Scriptures
and find out how 10 live right and die
without fear.
