Brown Guthrie.

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas
G. Guthrie, at Mt. Pleasant. Bucking-
ham county, was the scene of a beau
tiful marriage on June Ord, at 1896
A. NJ, when their lovely and accom-
plished daughter, Lucy Fowlkes, was
given in marriage to Edward Wallar
Brown.
The ring ceremony was performed
by Rev. S. II. Johnson, of the Metho-
dist Church, pastor of the bride. The
parlor was banked across one end
with lilies, ferns and daisies, and the
couple stood beneath a large bell Of
ferns and daisies.
The bridal march was sweetly rem
dered by Miss Inez Shepard cousin Of
the bride The ushers, James Wilson
Shepard and Richard w. Gannaway,
were followed by the best best, Roy
Guthrie, brother of the bride, with
the maid Of honor, Miss Sydnor John
son. in white organdie and lace, fol-
lowed by the bridal pair
The bride was exquisitely attired in
white silk and Irish lace and carried
brides roses. Her dinner gown was
a princess of heavily braided light
green messaline, en- train.
After the ceremony an up-tO-date
luncheon was served, after which the
happy pair boarded the ? O'Clock train
for the home of the groom.
The bride, who is the eldest daugh-
ter of a prominent farmer. is a beau
tiful blonde, and greatly loved for her
sweet disposition and sterling charac-
ter. She is one Of Buckingham's fair
est daughters and will be greatly miss
ed from her old neighborhood. She
was educated at the State Normal
School, of Farmville, and taught her
same school in Essex county success
fully for four years. While teaching
there she first met the groom and
the romance began which has ended
so happily. The groom is a prominent
business man, merchant and post
master Of LOrettO, Essex county.
The handsome presents attest the
popularity of both. They will be at
home after June 26th. at LorettO

At THE OLD MILL.
DONG BUSINESS At THE OLD STAND
DAY AND NIGHT.
The Same Eyes Keeping Watch For
IbiTy-SiX Years, and Still
halching.

Passing in sight of the old Farmville
mill on a recent genuinely hot after
noon, and spying two split bottom
chairs out in the shade we were
tempted to halt and rest, and while
resting nothing remained but to talk
mill
Its history is known to the older
people of Farmville and all of us have
a lively interest in all that concerns it.,
as upon its output most of us are
feeding The past wheat season
closed on the day Of our visit, the
last bushel Of old wheat having been
made into flour on that day, and on
the same day the new season opened
the first delivery Of new wheat hav-
ing been made by Mr. Rarson whose
home is in the neighborhood of Redd S
shop. SO he will have the first bite
of new cake bread "
The mill has been busy of late
grinding corn. some 800 bushels each
day, and unfortunately the corn is
bought in the western market and not
in our own. This must be corrected
and we believe this is the season for
inaugurating the new conditions. We
can grow our corn, all we need and
much to spare, and should allow no
other season to come and go until this
has been done.
Mr.. Mason Bliss is still commander
in-chief of the mill forces, and hard
by his side stands that old veteran,
Mr.. E. W. Ellington, who for thirty
six years has gone in and out among
those wheels, belts and cogs until he
can make the rounds without the
natural light Of the day or the arti-
ficial light of the night. He has wit
messed many changes during those
years and while others have come and
gone the old mill stands on the old
spot, is doing the old duty though
more persistently and more perfectly.
The mills of the gods grind slowly
but fine, " while this old standby
grinds in a hurry and better than
superfine
The last wheat bought for the mill
cost the good round sum of one sixty,
but whether due to Mr. Patten or
not we have no means Of knowing.
The local customers will now come
in in increasing numbers, and there
will be music in the air as wheat is
swapped for flour bran and the like.
What would the world do without the
new wheat and the old mill?

WAKE UP.
NO TINE FOR SLEEPING.
Much More TO be Done and We are the
People to Do ii.

Selling lots is all right, there is no
objection to an imported auctioneer
and we welcome those who come to
us from a distance to advertise our
local advantages, but after all Farm
ville's material salvation is to be
worked out by her own people
We must introduce new industries,
we must add to our weekly pay roll
or the lots recently sold will for the
most part remain without buildings.
A great and grave responsibility
rests upon the Board of Trade, and
not only upon that Board, but upon
all of us. The Herald's trade issue
went out on its mission and is still 90
ING out. 1t was suggested that the
material used in the Trade issue should
be put in pamphlet and permanent
form. VIII the suggestion die or take
on life and form? Something must be
done and we are the people to do it.
Stagnation means death Let's be
up and at it, The night cometh
when no man can work - This is
day time with us, and a day Of oppOr-
mnity. Seize it, hold on to it and
never let 90 until the goal is reached.

Lei II be Done Quietly.

Editor Herald | had not attended
a burial in our town cemetery for some
time before last Monday, and was
gratefully and pleasantly impressed
with the quiet and solemn manner in
which the sacred service was per-
formed. heard the sound Of no
voice save that Of the man of God, no
orders were given and no rough shock
broke upon the stiffness. Even the
clods of earth fell lightly upon the
bier, while fair flowers filled the air
with their fragrance, and the scene
with their beauty. In presence OF
death we should mourn with bowed
heads and becoming reverence.

from Boston, Mass, a few days be-
fore leaving the Hub" wrote to the
Farmville Lithia Springs Co., to de-

which institution he graduated in three
years
He then went 10 the University of
Virginia to prosecute the study Of
medicine, received its diploma and
then continued the study Of his pro-
fession at the jefferson Medical Col
lege in the city of Philadelphia at
that time the foremost medical school
in the country.
In 1861 he entered the Confederate
service as Captain Of Co. X, 9th Vir-
ginia regiment of infantry.
Having been made surgeon, he re-
signed this position and began active
duty in the fiefd as medical officer
under Jackson, and established his
first hospital
In December 1862, he was ordered
to Farmville to take charge Of the
hospitals which had been established
here. In 1863 he was again ordered
to field duty, this time in Tennessee,
and remained there until August, 1864,
when he was again transferred to
hospital duty, remaining for time in
Lynchburg, when he again returned
to Farmvile and continued here in
charge Of the hospitals until the close
of the war
He was married on September Dist,
1854 to Miss Leila Jackson, the only
daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. P.
H. Jackson and lived in the old jack
son homestead, on Beach street until
the day Of his death.
And now. what Of his work in
Farmyille? Why need we speak Of
it at all?- though dead his works
follow him.
Truly it may be said Of him as was
said of the blessed Master, he went
about doing good
He was master Of the details Of his
noble profession, he loved that profes-
sion and practced it not so much to
make money as to relieve human suf-
fering.
Handicapped as few men have ever
been for the past twenty-five years
hearing all gone. sight impaired, and
for many years a great sufferer on ac-
count Of another physical frailty he
continued to the very last to respond
to every call, not only with prompt
ness, but with courage and good cheer
As he went in and out amongst this
people, he carried healing in his
touch and benediction in his very
presence.
He may have been suffering in his
own body, but he entered the sick
room with smile and gave brightness
to it.
On the morning Of the day on which
he went to his bed to die. he SAT- by
the bedside of another and said to
him, I am much worse off than you
are. and yet that last visit to that
sick room fingers as a pleasant and
sustaining memory
For many years DIR. White was as

and never did earth knowa finer COM

But for physical infirmity Dr. White
would have been not only leading
physician Of this section Of Virginia

He was a careful and critical student
