Wrinkly Pears.

A. Van Valkenberg has brought in
some pears to Secretary Coburn at
the Commercial club rooms. They
are curiosities. Although Bartlett in
variety, they are peculiarly formed,
being wrinkled like peppers. Mr..
Van Valkenberg states that the tree
is not so aged that it's fruit should
begin to show the usual signs of sem
ility. Each year the shape of the
fruit is the same.

His Farewell Sermon.

Rev. c. c. Anderson. of Mariet
ia, Ocklahoma. who has been occu-
pying the Presbyterian pulpit fol
the past four Sundays. preached his
farewell sermon on last Sunday
morning
He wasted no time in saying good
bye, but gave as his parting advice
the earnest charge to search the
Scriptures" AS is known TO our
readers, Mr.. Anderson is a son OF
Prince Edward, born and reared on
a farm and early trained to do with
his might whatever his hands found
to do. and the good habit has fol-
lowed him to the pulpit.
No man is more in earnest and
none more consecrated to the Mas
ter's work. Those who have been
privileged to hear him while with
us have heard him gladly" and
he has left behind him an influence
that will go on working though the
voice of the preacher has died out
on the summer air. And we are
glad to know that he has enjoyed
being with this people, meeting with
them not only in the sanctuary
but in their homes and at their
places of business. He dropped in
at the Herald office, gave the work
ers a word of good cheer. and now
that he has gone back to his dis
tant field of labor the Herald will
follow him and he will keep in close
touch with the land of his faith
ers. The Herald would be pleased
to have a word from him now and
then.

ADVERTISING A CITY.
The Good Results OF Des MOines
Experiment.

The Indianapolis Star says. "Th
advertising company's plan for ad
vertising Des Moines was exactly
the same used by its leading Gus
temers-through steady and persis
tent advertising the year round for
a period of three years exploiting
not only the advantages Of Des
Moines for manufacturers, but also
appealing to the average man o
family and showing why Des Moin
esN is a good city to live in
"The results from this campaign
have been phenomenal and one of
the unlooked-for results has been
the way in which the other towns
of Iowa are rallying TO the support
of Des Moines to make the State
Greater Iowa. Merchants have
been in the habit Of buying in Kan
sas City. St. Joe, St. Louis and
Chicago. but are now turning to
Des Moines for their purchases.
And still Farmville hopes to grow
without advertising. The best town
of its size in Virginia if not in the
South, and yet the outside world
is not being reminded of the fact.
Farmville appropriated $500 to
the Summer Normal, and in doing
so did well. Why not devote at
least that amount annually for the
purpose of advertising? Three
hundred girls with us for a month
mean much. but three hundred
more of permanent residents would
mean intellectually more

appreciative Farmvifie audience
which was largely added to by the
presence Of the teachers and stu

DR. Cumming. of Winchester
KY. preached from Peter II. verse
p, For the prophecy came not
in old time by the will of man. but
holy men Of God spoke as they we're
moved by the Holy Spirit"
The preacher demanded for the
Word of God absolute accuracy, "
"singleness of aim" unity with
diversity" and universally"
These points were elaborated and
enforced with great power and with
a charm of manner and of dictiOn
that held the audience in pleasant
bondage from opening to closing
word. With every advance in
science. whether dealing with the
heavens above or the earth beneath,
new attestation had been given to
the absolute accuracy of the Scrip
lures. The one thought pervading
the whole, from Genesis to Reyela-
tion, was found in the fact of sin
in the world and a Saviour from
sin.
The authors. composed OF kings
and shepherds, herdsmen and fish
ermen. professional meR and law
givers, lost nothing of their indivi-
duality as they wrote, and yet pre-
served marvellous unity with strik
ing diversity. And the book is uni
versal in it's scope, adapted to every
age and kindred, and tongue. re-
spending to the soul-wants of man
today as it did when the morning
stars first sang together and the
angel songs awoke the sleeping
melodies of the mountain sides.
Noble sermon. and just such as
is needed in this day when an FL
lot can find no room in his library
for the Word of God, and when
Christian America would shut the
doors of the public schools of the
land against the one light by which
the children of men may be safely
guided as they go from the cradle

Making suggeStions.

The Herald has been enjoying a
monopoly of suggestion making, but
now others are coming to the front
and with many of practical kind.
A primary has been suggested to
decide the sergeantcy question, the
combining of the two offices. that
of sergeant and treasurer has been
suggested, and still another that a
general manager be appointed to
have charge of electric lights wat
er and sewerage, if the last two are
bought by the town, and the gen
eral oversight OF all street i'm
provements.
These matters have been in the
charge of chairmen OF Committees
of the council, who have been doing
the work without compensation All
these matters have taken on larger
scope and no citizen should be ex-
pected to look well to their details
without proper compensation.
Farmville is growing and its
growing needs must be met and
supplied. The tax payers of the
town will think on these matters
and make suggestions of their own.

the Herald office and gave an in
teresting item of news from the
old county.
He, in association with Mr. Phil
Flippen, have recently bought some
l 400 acres of what was once known
as the Thornton tract, two miles
west of the village, which will be
refenced and converted into graz
ing ground for cattle. 1t will re-
quire seven miles of fencing though
on one side the river is a natural
barrier.

that it would Craze 1000 cattle. but
Mr.. Flippen will be satisfied to be-
gin with 300. There are 500 acres
of river bottom, which is a great
grass producer.
Such ventures are of genuine in

The time has come when we should
make united and determined effort
for freedom-freedom from the

Shall We Have Ordinance On The
Subject?

The coal wagons are on duty
again, and wherever they make de-
liveries into bins opening on the
side walk, they leave black and
offensive tracks behind them.
AS this debris is walked over
it sticks to the feet and is scat
tered far and wide. This is an un-
qualified nuisance and should be
abated. 1t should be made the du-
ty of some one, either the party de-
livering or the party receiving, to
brush away the black droppings at
once.
II an ordinance on the subject,
imposing a fine, is necessary, then
let it be passed. The Herald call
ed attention to this matter last
season, but the nuisance is being
repeated. Farmville should tole-
rate no black spots.
It should be kept clean from cen
ter to circumference. from end to
end. The Herald is in the watch
tower and will be certain to sound
the alarm.

To the Council Elect.

Editor Herald
The people whose interest is ef
fected and whose prosperity is in
volved have a right to critically ana
lie existing conditions and to make
a logical explanation of results
thereof, l believe few
hints. suggestions, facts and figures
will appeal to a good board of man
ayers elected to legislate for the
whole people.
The subject. taxation, has always
/ been one of vital concern to every
good citizen and corporation, and
of special interest to the man be-
hind the gum the man that pays
his taxes. the burden bearer of eve
ry municipality. 1t is the universal
opinion of all tax payers of this
city, who have had these matters
properly placed before them, and
who have given the same their care
full consideration, that the offices of
sergeant and treasurer should be
consolidated.
In the writer's opinion and in the
opinion of many, it is only one
mans work, and one man can. and
will render this service satisfactor-.
lily and efficiently. Under the new
assessed valuation of property and
the ever increasing business of the
dispensary. these offices will, in the
near future, cost more than $2,50OI
per annum, provided the revenues
are collected.
Would not the present treasurer
or if not him. some other good
business man, accept this position
and give it his whole time and at
tention for just one-half of this
cost. saving our good town the nice
sum of $1.25O per year?
What does this mean? See what
it figures: this amount saved is ex-
actly per cent. on $4,000 of the
bonded Indebtedness. In other
words. by the elimination and con-
solidation the bonded indebtedness
of the town will practically be re-
duced about one third
Is not this effecting the develop
ment and prosperity of this peo-
pie? Is not this worthy Of consid-
Grafton by business and thinking
men. and has not the tax payer the
right to ask that these conditions
be remedied?
If the whole people are benefited .
and the motive, a better governed
town, by the people, for the people,
| ask who can possibly object? Ger
tainly not candidate for this office
of sergeant. for his motive would be
too apparent and selfish, hence no
reasonable objection satisfactory to
a tax paying people could be offer
ed by a good progressive citizen.
Did you ever see the treasurer of
any we'll governed municipality that
did not look after and collect its
revehues? This duty should be i'm
posed upon your treasurer.
This matter, councilmen-elect, is
attracting the attention of the man
that honestly contributes his pro-
rata part of a just burden Of tax
alton, and l hope it will be your
pleasure to consider this question,
its advisability and its practical
bility.
Some one will advance in opposi-
tion to this suggestion that the
charter of the town requires the
two officers. The charter says:
There shall be elected annually
by the council of said town. town
sergeant. clerk, assessor, treasurer
and street commissioner" but does
not say tha. the office o9 sergeant
and treasurer can rot be one and
the same. Then 70 comply fully
with the charter elect one man for
sergeant-treasrreg
