A Visit Of Love.

that Mrs. NJ. NJ. Cralle took to a
suffering sister a bowl of pure cream
properly seasoned"
You further expressed the hope
thar no one would be disciplined be-
cause of the eating thereof, though
you admit by using the adjective
pure" that there was no violation
of the pure food law You also ad-
NIT that the teachings of the Good
Book were followed. "the sick Wis
tied and the hungry fed" Why
then should anyone be disciplined?
You grant that the deed was
prompted by "unselfish and generou
love Why then should such a
friendly act be looked upon as a
crime against society? Surely from
your own statement you would al
low the sick to lie uncontrolled and
the hungry go unfed, and would sup
press all feeling of sympathy for
suffering humanity.
This will not happen "po more.

In the death of J. NJ. Orange
Farmville loses a citizen who in his
life gave to us the good example Of
untiring devotion to daily duty.
Never strong of body, and evea
after his strength failed. he stuck
to the last" and labored on when
other men would have abandoned
the struggle His last act of pub
lie nature was to drag himself 70
the polls on the day of the recent
town election, and there express his
choice as a citizen and voter, and
in 50 doing set an example worthy
of following. especially in this age
when so many are disposed to neg
lect this important civic duty. AT
ter painful and wasting illness last
ing through weary months, he diei
at his home on Virginia street on
Monday last. and the burial took
place Wednesday morning. and he
now rests from his labors in our
City of the Dead.

METTAUER MEDICAL SOCIETY,
DOCTORS CONSULTING. INTER
ESTING AND ABLE PAPERS
READ.
Germs Thrown On Canvas and Made
to Stand Out i'm Living ColOrS.

The Mettauer Medical Society met
in the Courthouse at four p. NJ, oi
Tuesday in its first session since
its organization. DR.. Winston pre-
siding, and Or. ellis secretary and
treasurer.
There were some fifty doctors
present and the occasion was one
of genuine interest, not only TO
members of the profession, but to
others who were privileged to at
tend the sessions. Able and instruc-
tive papers were read on questions
of Importance by Drs. Irving, Mer-
Ger and Talley, of Richmond, by Or.
Trout, of Roanoke. Drs. Winston an
Crute, of Farmyille. while DR.. Free
man, of Richmond. treated tuber-
culosis by means of the camera.
The papers read were generally
discussed. and there was free and
helpful exchanges of views between
the brethren on the many subjects
which were brought before the body
for its consideration. The. meeting
was not only a pleasant one from
a social standpoint. but one of gen
uine profit.
Doctors may differ just as the
preachers do upon things Of minor
import, while upon the underlying
principles of the noble profession
they are as one. Farmville was
honored in having within its gates
so many distinguished representa-
tiyes of the healing art, and Will
be glad to welcome them again in
Ju'y when the next meeting Of the
takes place here.
The officers of the society are:
DR.. Peter Winston. president. DR..
w. J. Gills, secretary and treasur-'
er. Drs. W. NJ. Holiday. w. f.
Brown. J. b. Abitt. T. VI. Baird,
c. Weisiger, vice presidents. and
DR.. w. f. Anderson, vice president
at large.

ed into.
The land, with its improvements,
is not the only possession of a
county. There Us besides a body
of associations which should be reg
ularly inventoried. What claim has
a county to a place in history? What
is its title to distinction? Who will
record its deeds in a book?
No one person can do this. This
must be the work of a number of
people, who will accomplish the
most if they are drawn together in
society. Each individual adds to
the capital. and the capital fund
makes a greater volume of business
possible. 1t is not unreasonable to
speak of this kind of work as a
business. 1t is business.
In the first place, it advertises the
county, and then it leads to an ac-
curate knowledge of what the coun-
ty Is, for this cannot be known un-
til il is known what the county has
been An organization of the sort
proposed is intended to answer GER
tain questions. What? Why? When?
Where? There can be no final an

some of them are eternally asked,

are not as they should be

When last at home he was the
picture of good health, was warmly
greeted by his many friends and
there opened before him life full
of promise and Of hope. But while

he has been cut down in the

our preachers told us in a recent
sermou that there was no place IN
our cemeteries for broken shafts
over any grave, and so we will not
say that an accident has come n

children of men, but that His wise
and loving purposes are being ae-
complished. The young men OF
Farmville during the past rev
months have been attending our

Wasting His Time.

We often notice an able bodied
colored man leaving town at nine
A. NJ, with three long poles, tin
of worms and maybe a snack, on his
way to the banks of the Appomat-
tox. We watch him again about
five p. M., as he returns with one
minnow swinging to the end of a
willow. A day wasted. when he
might have earned fair wages at
real work and three square meals.
But he found instead, "otium cum
dignitate" (and if he cares to know
what that means in plain English we
will add for his benefit, rest with
dignity,) and what cares such an on
for work or wholesome food?

Farmville the present handsome
building was erected, and now that

attractive church buildings of Rich
mond movement is on foot to sell
out on Broad street and build on a
larger and grander scale in the West
end of the city. And if DR.. Hatch

man needn't undertake the work.
He knows not only how to shake
hands. but how to put hands to wor

Trees Beautiful.

The trees that stand guard about
the Presbyterian Church were plant
ed some twenty-five years ago, and
already begin to show signs of de-
cay. Others should be set out to
take their places. What's wrong
with the trees of the present day
that they die so young? Why do
Dot the trees we plant live on as
those do which we're planted by the
hand of God? They live on through
the ages, defying the storms that
beat upon them and welcoming the
sunshine as they fall upon them.
But the hand that planted them is
divine.

Citizens in Conference.

There was quite a large and
thoroughly representative gathering
of the citizens OF Farmyille in the
Courthouse on Wednesday evening
to talk over the educational interests
of the town
Two propositions were commend
ed First. that the Normal authori-
ties shall take care of the teaching
of the children Of the district up to
the Sth grade, the burden to be
bourn equally by the Normal and
the district.
Second. that a petition be circu-
lated among the voters of the dis
trict asking their consent to an in
crease of the rate of taxation from
10 to 80 cents on the 500 for the
purposes Of maintaining an improv
ed and enlarged high school system.
A committee was appointed to cir
culate this petition with the view
of presenting it to the board of Su-
pervisors. Mr.. II. E. Wall urged
that a regular vote be taken rather
than an appeal to petition. In this
he was defeated, he alone voting
for it.
The meeting was thoroughly COM
mitted to the two plans above noted.
The board of Supervisors will meet
today.

MAIN STREET FIRE.
FLAMES ATTACK "A PRINCIPAL
STREET AND A PRINCIPAL
STORE.
Department Responded Promptly an
Fire Confined Under One Roof.
Insurance Light Loss Heavy.

Iit NOulnbu tihlef Oue lAOOi-
Insurance Light Loss Heavy.
The first bell to ring in Farm
vile last Sunday morning was a
fire bell, and it summoned the fire
fighters to the store on West Main
street, between 2nd and 3rd streets
which was used Jointly by Mr.. A. "
Wade, Capt. and Mrs. II. H. Hunt
the building being the property OF
Mrs. e. Scott Martin.
The fire was discovered at a
quarter to seven A. NJ. and must
have been quick to begin its work
as an old colored man says he
passed the store at half past six
looked in and there was no evidence
of any fire.
Though on one of the most
crowded squares of the town the
fire was confined to the one build
ing. but did deadly work upon stoc
and all internal fixtures. Mr. Wade
was the heaviest loser, carrying only
eleven hundred and fifty dollars of
insurance, and estimates his hold
ings at six thousand. Three hun
dred of the insurance was upon the
fountain. leaving only eight hun
dred and fifty upon the entire stock
which was a large one, and had but
recently been materially added to.
Mrs. Hunt had only four hundred
of insurance and of course her loss
is significant. Capt Hunt had one
thousand on his gallery. and this
by no means covers his loss, as
among other things he lost cam
era which recently cost him five
hundred dollars.
The Mack barber shop adjoining
came in for a share of hurt, due to
the fact that there was a window
opening from the burned building
into the shop through which the
flames found their way. The own
er. however, is fully protected by
insurance. The livery stable in the
rear was thought to be in danger
and the horses were removed. but
it escaped without injury.
The rain was falling at the time
Of the fire, had been falling through
the night, and this was fortunate,
not that we are dependent upon the
falling rain to aid lis in putting out
fire nowadays. but that it does aid
in preventing the spread of the fire
fiend. A fire never visits now that
we are not prepared to meet it, that
we don't feel a sense of relief. The
Ideal Shoe Store also adjoins the
burned store, and though no fire
damage was done it the goods
were removed and some dam
age followed The fire came at a
season of the year when all these
were enjoying the advan
tages of active trade and this Of it
self makes the loss the heavier. But
there is no such word as failure in
the vocabulary of any one of them
and. like Phoenix of old. they will
rise out of the ashes and come again
No one knows the cause of the fire
but there are those who conjecture
that it was started by lightning, be-
cause at that hour a storm was in
We all do know. however
that the fire did break out, and we
know further that but for our fine
fire fighting machines Main street
would present today a broader and
placker scar Bad enough, but it
might have been worse.
