A RARE MUSICAL TREAT.
The Hinshaw Grand Opera Company
Greeted by Large Audience.

To all music lovers, the Hinshav
Grand Opera Concert given in tn,
Normal Auditorium last THURSDAY
evening was yeritably a feast fol
the musical soul"
Some one has aptly said that "mu
sic has power to lift the cares OF
the world from human hearts--a glo
rious symphony echoes itself in
breasts-whose voices perhaps ne'eJ
a tune has turned" The cares of
the business and school world were
forgotten by the enthusiastic and
large audience, who listened with
appreciation TO the charming pro-
gram artistically rendered.
The opening quartet from Lucia
Sextet followed by Mr.. Cilla's solo,
"Vesti di giubba," (Pagliacci) drew
forth the most appreciative applause
A hushed silence which is the
sincerest appreciation, peryaded
during the exquisite rendering of tn
duet. "Holy Mother" by Miss Aber-
crombie and Miss Downing.
The Aria from Samson and De-
lilah by Miss Downing was one of
the most enjoyable features of the
program, but when the sweet, old
familiar strains of annie Laurie"
as an encore were heard the crown
of delight was reached. Also a
thrill was felt when Miss Abercrom-
bic sang with much feeling and
sweetness that dear, old never-to-be-
forgotten song, The Last Rose of
Summer"
Among other charming selections
to be highly enjoyed and appreciated
were Rossinis Largo AL Facto-
tum," sung by Mr.. Hinshaw and
the exquisite piano solo, Second
Rhapsodie," from List, by Mr..
Smith.
The granduer and solemnity of
feeling is reached in the selection,
Holy Angels" from Faust. This
is heightened by the mental picture
of Marguerite in her prison cell at
last bursting the bonds of her earth
ly anguish.
The audience was fairly captiva-
ted by Mr.. Hinshaw's breezy, mimi
table manner in singing the always
charming Irish ballads.
Last but by no means least was
he one act from Martha" enjoyed
The entire program, each selec-
ion, individually, may be re-lived in
memory again and again with pleas
ire, and long will Farmville re-
member this delightful evening spen |
With the masters of music.

S2,OOO,oOO ANNUALLY LOST.

The remarkable statement is mad
by a party who pretends to know
what he is talking about that the
farmers of Virginia lose $2,000,00O
annually by not using separators in
the handling of their milk. Wheth-
er this statement is made in the
interest of the separator or not we
don't pretend to know, but the state
ment is nevertheless startling. And
if it be true the waste should end
and that quick.

Bicycle Riders Warned.

Editor Herald:-It has gotten to
be a source of great annoyance for
the boys of the town to be constant
ly riding bicycles on the side walks.
1 noticed on a Sunday evening
three boys on High street riding
up and down on the side walks
and the people walking had to get
out of the way. This is a positive
violation of the law and each case
should be reported to the Mayor
and fined, and if the offense is re-
peated they will be reported.
