Country Club Organized.

a Country Club was organized in
our town on last Faiday evening with
Mr. Eugene Gill as president, and
with a membership, as we under
stand, Of some twenty members.
With such a leader there should be
enthusiastic following. Out door
sports are best sports, and the music
of the chase is better than that Of the
opera. OF course there will be a Club
house out in the country, dogs galore
and a GOOD time generally.

enjoyed fifteen-years experience as
an occulist in the city of Denver, has
opened an office in Farmville, and

say who have known it long and well,
the dearest SPOT on earth.

FROM THE CREAMERY.
Men all Cheerful-PrOSDeCtS Bright
The One Cry is Cows, Cows,
More Cows.

On a recent visit to the creamery
we were impressed with the fact that
the infant was growing off finely, and
gives promise of vigorous growth. The
plant is kept scrupuously clean, and
microbe could no more live there than
in a burning furnace. Vessels and
tubes are kept sanitarily pure, the
floors of concrete are well washed,
and no one feature that is not pleas
ing to the eye and the sense Of smell.
Some two thousand pounds of milk
are being received each day, and
every pound of the butter is readily
sold in the Philadelphia market, and
at best prices. Very much more
milk could be handled, and the hope
is that the amount now being deliver
ed may be soon doubled and then
quadrupled, and then in such increas-
inc volume as will necessitate an en-
largement of the plant Some diff
Guilty has been experienced in having
the milk delivered from one Of the
best already established routes, and
earnest effort is being made to over
come this.
Mr. Walden, of the First National
Bank, tells us that at a recent session
of the Board of Control, it was decid-
ed to pay the farmer 26 cents a pound
for his butter fat less cents for run
ming expenses, and when it is remem-
bered that the farmer who furnishes
the milk takes back home with him so
percent. of the product, we hope that
he sees in the offer a living and rea-
sonable profit
Mr.. Walden said further that ar
rangements had been made to buy
cows in car load lots, and that respon-
sible farmers could get them on time
This to US is good news, for we look
upon the creamery as the most i'm
portant industry ever established in
Farmville, when the cost is consider
ed, and it remains with the farmers
to respond to the liberal offer Of the
management, and make OF the cream
cry a crowning success. More cows
on the farm mean more homemade
fertilizer, and that means richer lands
and more grass Give US these things
in Southside Virginia, and we have
the garden spot on the rest of the
world.
Prof Saunders, the Dairy Commits
sioner of the State, has recently visit
ed the plant and found conditions
more satisfactory than at any of the
younger plants of the Commonwealth.
1t gives us genuine pleasure to write
these things, and our hope is that
week by week we may be justified in
saying well done" of our pet enter
prise.
Mr.. W. w. Keys, who is in active
charge of the butter making, is
young man in love with the work. an
expert rich in experience, and who,
we believe, holds the keys to the
situation. Farmers to the rescue.

Nov For a Leader.

We are informed that the boys"
have been gotten together who will
make music for us, and all that is
now needed is a leader who will
train them to the work.
This will cost some money. Is
Farmville ready to aid the boys"
who are ready to contribute their
time and talent that we may have our
own band and our own music? If so
let's say so in a practical way and do
so quick
