CONGRESSMAN CLASS SPEAKS.
CONGRESSMAN LASSlTER WITH US
And Introduced the Speaker.

Hon. Carter Glass, of Lynchburg,
addressed the citizens of Farmvlle on
Friday evening of last week Owing
to the services at the armory the
speaking did not begin before $3.50,
and for this reason the crowd was a
small one, and for the same reason
Hon. F. r. Lassiter, who was also
present, only presented the speaker
to the audience. The speech of Mr.
Glass was a calm, convincing and con-
elusive defense of Democratic rule in
Virginia and a scathing arraignment Of
Republicanism as it is known in Vir-
ginia history. Like his own private
business and that of all other branches
of business, the speaker emrhasised
the fact that that of Virginia had
grown, and it was not to be wondered
at that it cost more to run it. If this
be treason make the most of it.
Mr.. Glass admitted that he lost out
at the primary but with enthusiasm
exclaimed. we will win out on the
ID of November
Owing to the lateness of the hour
the speech was condensed and we re-
gret that we could not have heard
it in its entirety Enough was said
however to drive to the conclusion
that Virginia's S best friends are of the
Democratic faith, and that it would be
madness to commit her interests into
the hands Of Republicans whose his
tory is known and read Of all men.

THE BURGLAR CAUGHT
MONEY ITO BURN" AND WATCHES.
POCketBOOk identified As That Of
Baldwin q Sons.

Chief FOCUS went to Norfolk on the
early train of last Saturday and return
ed that night with one John Rivers, a
colored tramp who was arrested in
Norfolk, and from information which
was sent out from Farmville, was
thought to be connected with the
breaking in of our stores
Being badly wounded in the chest,
he has not been encouraged to talk
though a pocketbook found on his
person has been identified as that of
Baldwin & Sons, and some of the
money also fastens the Farmville burg
laries on him. He had 1896. l3 in
money, some of the notes being that
of the First National Bank, Farmville,
while some of the small change may
have been taken from the cash drawer
of Mr.. c. f. Chappell.
The man, when arrested, said he
was shot at Farmville, but Chief FOCUS
believes this was done at Wellville
while attempting another burglary.
The man is safely lodged in Jail, and
we are glad that suspicious have been
lifted from Farmville's suspects. OF
course the money will be returned to
the rightful owners. and the law will
deal with the bold, bad man.

SPECIAL SERVICES CLOSE.
Two WEEKS OF EARNEST GOSPEL
PREACHING.
Eternity VIII Reveal The Results.

DR.. Ncedham, an earnest Evange-
list. and, as we believe. a consecrated
man of God, has come and gone, and
we return to our respective churches
and to our regular church services.
The meeting, and singing, and
praying. and listening together, with
denominadonal differences made
bonds rather than boundaries we
should resume the work for the Mas
ter under our several church banners
with renewed courage and h-pe, and
with larger and fuller and deeper con-
ceptions of the Fatherhood of God
and the brotherhood of man. ~ The
co-denominational services have failed
of best results unless the Christian
people of Farmville and of the sur
rounding country have learned that
they differ in the small things and
agree as to the greater. The Christ
banner waves high above the church
banner.
No one can Justly find fault with
the methods of DR.. Needham He
seems to be absolutely free from the
religious fads of the day and his pres
ence with us has brought a blessing.
The Christians here were revived and
the careless converted.
The Evangelist has gone, but the
Word remains with us and preachers
gifted and consecrated Why not a
continual revival?

perintendent of one of the largest
Sunday Schools in the country We
read recently IAN interesting account
Of its management in detail, bit only
desire Just now to call attention to an
opening feature, mention of which
very much impressed us After the
teachers and scholars gather in the
hall, Mr.. Wanamaker steps to the
front of the elevated platform, and as
he does so, teachers and scholars unite
in saying, good morning Mr.. Wana-
maker. " And then the Superinten-
dent says, good morning, teachers
and scholars. And then the Super
intendent teachers and scholars face
the gallery assigned to visitors, and
unite in saying, Good morning, good
friends. We are glad to welcome
you to our school.
The custom strikes us as one of
courtesy and beauty, and we don t
know that it wouldn't be as courteous
and as beautiful in Farmyille as it is

A Word About Our Library.

Editor Herald:-Permit me through
your columns to say a word for our
library. And in the beginning ! would
urge that we should not be discour-
aged by reason of the fact that we
can t hope to begin with large libra
ry. A few well selected books in my
opinion would be the better have
been in many of the large library
buildings of the country and never en-
ter one that | do not feel that am in
some mammoth mausoleum The few
persons seated at the tables looked
like ghosts delving into the realms Of
mystery for the mysterious.
The great body of people never
visit them save to look and retire
We want a home-like library, books
to be read and not to remain on
shelves as dust gatherers.
! began life, Mr. Editor, with
burning desire to get together many
books, an impressive library at least
in size, but providence as shocking
as it was sudden broke in upon all of
my life plans when ! had arranged
on the shelves of my library but a few
hundred volumes. But they were
well chosen and keep them in close
touch and read and re-read them.
/ have long since learned that a book
worth reading one time is worth read
inc many times. With the limited
number am tempted to read them
again and again. Who ever tired of
Macaulay, Milton, Bacon Goldsmith,
Scott, Dickens, Hawthorne, George
Elliott. Wadsworth, Miss Milford
Buckle Tennyson, Victor Hugo, Byron,
Poe and other kindred spirits? Ihave
not mentioned the Bible nor Shakes
peare and yet in my five foot IL
brary they do find room and no dust
is allowed to gather on them. | spend
an hour each morning with the Bible,
the first reading Of the day, while
mind and body are refreshed by sweet
sleep, and with pencil in hand, and
no commentator to aid me, | read and
re-read and mark and remark. If
this life is to end all / still recon-
mend the Bible as the book of
books "
Let Fsrmville be satisfied with a
few books to begin with, books Sc
lected wisely and well, and with the
books the best of the current litera-
ture of the day, and DR.. Kerlin and
his co-workers have done great things
for us as a people. Reader.

Eskimo Dog Justice.

In his voyage Of polar exploration (,
Commander Fiala observed among his
dogs sort of governments quite indie
pendent of that OF their keepers.
They were of the Eskimo variety
and were trained to work in team I.
In their general conduct, however,
they acted as community, and their
rules had reference to the common
good. There was no penalty less thas
that of death.
During the period of darkness we
lost eight dogs; three of them, splendid
animals, were killed by their COM
panions. The other five either
wandered of on the young Ice and
we're blown away, or were killed by
the pack at distance frem camp
Every dog was known by name.
1t is a curious fact that When one
dog has ansagonzed the others, the
only way to save him from destruction
later on is 30 chain him; then the
other dogs let him alone. Unfortu-
nately for US, the dogs that seemed
to incur the enmity of their fellows
we're the large, strong animals-the
DULLES and fighters.
There seemed to be degree Of
justice in their Judgements. From
close observation, l found thai the
dogs generally forgaye bite on the
head or body, but that an attack on
the legs seemed to lie considered
foul pIav, and must be paid for by the
life OF the offending canine. The
whole pack united in his execution.

cooperation with the grain growers

cooperation with the grain growers
OF the state, just issued an extensive
report on the green bug. This report
contains results of work conducted
through 1867 and 1908, covering a
period during which tbi, subject was
OF great interest to the producers Of
small grain. This work was begun by
the University, and the grain growers,
noting the beneficial results, raised a
fund to conduct it on much larger
scale. AS many of our readers recall
the plan was to introduce the parasite
into the fields where the green bug
was at work. The evidence shows
that this is a practical and effective
means Of repelling the advances of
the green bug.
This report discusses, first, the
development Of the work, and then
gives in detail the life history and
behavior of both the green bug, an
Italian insect, and its arch enemy,
the parasite The progeny for one
green bug for season runs up in the
sextillions. A single parasite with
its offspring will produce much faster,
and sson checks the Increase OF the
insect hostile to growing grains.
The book contains 220 pages, and
there are many beautiful and helpful
illustrations to enable the farmer to
distinguish his FRIENDS from his foes
In the insect tribe. The best methods
of wheat culture are also emphasized.
A copy of this report may be had
free by addressing the Chancell.r of
the University, at Lawrence, Kan.
