CREAMERY AGAIN.
ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING OF SIOCk'
HOLDERS.
Stock ISSUED and Arrangements Made
To Buy More Cows.

There was a well attended meeting
of the stockholders of the Farmville
Creamery Association held on Thurs
day of last week, at which a good de-
gree of enthusiasm was manifested
rousing talks were made by Judge
Watkins and others with a practical
address from Mr.. J. J. Gillian on the
dairying business in general. Stock
was issued to the stockholders pres
ent, and others Will be supplied on de-
mand.
Arrangements were made to buy
COWS in car loads and the purpose IS
TO secure those animals that will be
fresh to the pail about October lst.
Farmers who wish more cows should
communicate with Mr. 6. NJ. Robson,
the president of the Association, and
more COWS is the pressing need OF the
the hour
Some 2OOO pounds of milk are be-
ing daily delivered at the creamery,
but Mr.. Keys, the active and effici-
ent manager, can handle Sl2, 600
pounds a day, and wants to get to be
busy. That amount of milk can be
supplied day by day, and it remain
with the farmers to see that it is done.
There are only two routes established
as yet, each handling the milk from
some eight farms. There should be
dozen routes and a hundred farms
furnishing milk. Some six farmers
who own sepagatorS are bringing in
cream, rather than milk, and so save
the trouble of taking the skinned
milk back to their homes. Four days
of each week are devoted to butter
making at the creamery, and the pro
duet finds ready sale in the markets
at Elgin prices. In the near future
the shipment of cream will be resum
ed. and this is more profitable thar
the selling of butter Mr.. c. L. Bal
timore has ordered his first cans
and will now deliver milk regularly
We repeat that this is the most I'M
portant industry ever organized in oul
town, when the capital invested is con
sidered. and should command the ac
tive and financial support of our peo
ple of the town and country. More
cows mean better lands, and bette
lands mean a happier, because a more
prosperous people. To the rescue
citizens of Farmville and of the sur
rounding country.

THE SERPELL PARK.
ALONG FELT WANT SUPPLIED.
Now For Church Celebrations And
PEOPLES piCRlCS.

Mr.. Serpell at great cost Of labor
and money, has made one of the most
attractive small parks it has ever been
oul privilege to see. During recent
visit we We're simply astonished at the
beauty of the spot, and the perfect
ness of its appointments. The glorl-
GUS shade trees are there, the grass
growing beneath them, comfortable
benches dot the grounds, the slope is
graceful, and every prospect pleases.
Let the people of Farmville make pro-
per response to this graceful and
generous tender of an ideal rest spot.
Do the ladies of our churches desire
pleasant retreat for their outdoor en-
tertainments? Do the citizens ap-
preciate the advantages of a convent
ent and comfortable place for holding
picnics, barbecueS and such like,
healthful diversions? Do we know the
charms Of a breathing ground out in
Gods open country? All these are
now in ready and easy touch Of US,
and to be had for the asking.
Farmville to us has always been
good home in which to live, but it is
better now that an enterprising and
thoughtful fellow citizen has dedicat-
ed to all proper public uses a natural
ampitheatre adorned by the touch Of
man, where old and young. men, wo-
men and children may get newer
glimpses of the glory of God, and the
good that must follow happy and
pl easant reunions.

UUR MILITARY COMPANY.
THE INSPECTOR Is COMING AND THE
COMMAND WILL Be READY.
Every Man in Ranks With the Bearing
and Dress OF the True Soldier.

Owing to the money spent for new
uniforms this season there has been
no encampment for the summer, but
the better dress was needed and now
that it has been supplied the outing
will no doubt follow. In the mean
time the matter of drill must not be
neglected and Capt Hunt is deter
mined that it will not be.
At the last meeting for drill some Of
the boys" were conspicuous by their
absence and a conscripting force was
organized and put in charge of a
non-commissioned officer with orders
to search the houses, and if
needs be the woods, and compel
them to come in. Some were caught
while taking moonlight walk, and at
least one found snug in bed To
arouse the latter the cry OF fire was
sounded and off went the bed clothes
and out jumped the soldier. On
reaching the armory uniforms were
put on and for two hours they were
put through hard drill.
These are indeed piping times of
peace, but that soldier may be
ready for war he must obey orders in
time of peace. Without drill no sol
der ever reaches perfection and
this should no more be neglected than
to fight when ordered to.
Let every man do his duty and the
Company will be the pride of Farm
vile and of all Virginia.

Information Desired.

Editor Herald:-It S currently
reported through the country that the
Dark Tobacco Growers Association has
leased a public warehouse in the town
of Farmville for the sale of their to-
bacco at public auction, and have
abandoned all of their original plans
for the protection of the growers.
1t has been the privilege of many Of
us to listen to speeches made by the
officers of the association during the
past four years, and they have preach
ed faithfully to the tobacco growers OF
the Injustice to them by being COM
pelled TO sell their tobacco through
the iniquitous public warehouse at
public auction.
Thus having fought strenuously
against auction sale for the past four
years, and now adopting auction sales
are they not confessing to the world
that public auction sale is the most
feasible plan for the growers to adopt
in the sale of their tobacco? Or they
must confess by their actions that
they have made a signal failure in
their original plan.
The fight between the association
and the opposing tobacco interests in
length of time equals the Civil war.
Would it not have been more honor
able for the Generals Of the associa-
ton to have adopted the decision OF
General Lee at Appomattox, when ne
knew defeat was inevitable, instead OF
making sacrifice of their principles
for which they have been fighting foi
four years and allying themselves
with their acknowledged enemies by
operating an auction sale warehouse
under the association flag? We shal
ask few questions and trust the Of
ficials will answer them.
Can they reasonably expect the to
bacco growers to patronize thei
warehouse unless they can give
satisfactory explanation for making
these radical changes in their plans
what inducements can they 0ffe
more than the other warehouses 4
Farmville? How are the profits de
rived from the operation Of the ware
house distributed? viii the masse
who patrOnize their warehouse part
cipate in the profits equally or pro
rata. or will the bulk of the profit
90 to a favored few? VIII they un
dertake to man their warehouse wit
experienced men, or will they plac
inexperienced men from their owl
ranks in charge? Will the planter
from. a distance who market their to
bacco have place to deposit same
should they take il in because OF un
satisfactory prices and avoid tn
necessity of having to haul bacl
home? And will they have place t'
redry and pack same if tesiredS
We trust the officials viii give tn
public full and frank statement o
their plans, because. it is due them
especially to the patrons of the asso
citation who have been selling their TO
bacco through them, that they ma,
know where they stand, and know
their platform and their protection.

were raised above Camp Conner
mer this afternoon at $3.50 o'clock
with very pretty and appropriate ex-
ercises. The Starke's University ca
diets are located for their weeks out
ing and In every way. the idea has
proven to be q success.
The people of Prattville are over
whciming the cadets with hospital
lily, In marching through the streets
today. the boys gave cheers foi
Prattvilie and the entire popuiacs
crowded along the sidewalks to wilt
ness the unusual spectacle,
Upon arrival at the magnolia grove
which had been selected as the site
for the camp, the cadets found that
the good people had anticipated their
every wish and had the grounds laid
out for the camp. Tables were scat
tered about the place, where the boys
could eat with all the comfort Of
home. and hardly had the camp been
pitched when Daniel Pratt appeared
on the scene with q bushei of Juicy
strawberries. fresh from his own
patch. and fruit never tasted better
than did this to the campers.
A huge flag pole was found on the
StNO VI hHe S6hPp Jus h6& AVh 6SCAA
raised. SO the cadets took Ii upon
themselves to raise the pole and let
Old Glory float In the breeze. II was
q huge undertaking, one which look ed
as though II would balk the efforts of
the boys, but under the direction of
Professor J.. NJ. Starke the pole was
finally raised.
1t was then suggested that Miss
Emma Johnson. of Prattville. who
WAS being chaperoned by Mrs. DAN
lei Pratt. should have the honor of
drawing up the flag. She accepted
the honor, and was escorted to the
flag by Cadets Trotter and Gay and
While Cadet owen Barry sang a strain
from the star spangled banner. the
flag was foated to the breeze and
Camp Conner was offieiaiIy opened.
When the cadets sought sleep at
the Washington Ferry camp Monday
night. they found that II was some-
what chilly under the canvass. and
the novelty of hearing the hours of the
night called every thirty minutes by
the sentinels, prevented them from
getting very much sleep. The tents
were not pitched until after dusk, and
az result. were not up to suit. In
every way.
At $50 this morning the order came
to strike camp and when the tents
were dropped. Lieut.. w. w. Smith
and one cadet were caught under a
falling tent, but the canvass ala not
