The Farmville herald. [volume] (Farmville, Va.) 1890-1934, 1910-03-25

the home Of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. +.
Cox. Mr.. Cox returned Tor duty on
Tuesday, but Mrs. Cox is still with
us.
Another has we'll said that the
very best atmosphere n can create
about a sick room is the atmosphere
of perfectly normal every day life
and cheerfulness. And that's the
atmosphere that pervades our SAM
forum.
DR.. Irwin has rented the residence
of DR.. l~ierlin, and will occupy it
WHEN it is vacated by the present oc-
cupants. II is ours to speed the
parting and welcome the comm
guests" That's the Virginia way,
and the Virginia way has yet to be
improved on.
If you fail to receive the Herald
promptly and regularly. kindly no
.ify the office. The paper is pub
lished for distribution, and our wish
is TO have it reach its proper desti-
nation by most direct route. We
watch The mailing list carefully, but
never claim perfection in anything.
We are disposed to think that Ord
street is now the best kept street
in Farmville. The horses have their
home on that street, and it may be
that a sense of local pride is moving
them to a little better work there.
And, then, the surface of 3rd street
is smooth, while that of Main is
rough.
The members of the graduating
class of the Normal have invited the
Rev. w. +. Hill, pastor of the Pres
byterian Church, to deliver the bac-
caleaurate sermon at the coming
commencement. That's high com
pliment to the home preacher who.
they are accustomed to listen TO
Sunday after Sunday.
Mrs. j. l.. Richardson has had a
new poultry yard built, and now
Cralle, and Wiltse. and Stokes and
Orange may look well to their lau-
rels, while our country friends will
have to get the hustle on" TO dis
lance Farmville in the chicken bust
ness. Maybe we will be supplying
the housewives Of the surrounding
counties with their broilers.
With two extra mail trains on the
Norfolk and Western, we are %receiv-
ing the Washington papers the day
after publication, when we were re-
ceiving them under the old rule at
1886. the day Of issue. Postmaster
Garnet. must stir up the railway
handlers Of mail. We still insist that
Farmville is entitled TO the best in
all things.
DR.. Kite. of the Normal faculty,
had a sudden relapse on Thursday
of last week, and was removed from
the home of Mrs. r. p. Robertson
to the WhitwOrth SanitOrium. where
he is receiving the care of best
trained nurses and the skill of ac-
complished physician. Our home for.
the sick is supplying a long felt
want and is growing in popular
favor.
Rev. Mr.. Fugate has had his gag-
den cleaned for another spring cam
paign. We watched the work with
genuine interest during last season
and will again. and if there are
sermons in stones there must be.
in gardens. Mans first God-given
duty was that Of working a garden.
and it has lost none of its pristine
glory.
Main and Third streets presented
faces on Sunday morning. and
the sight was as pleasant as clean
faces and clean shirts on
the same day. The debris of Sa-
had been collected and car
ried off where they could offend no
good tastes or keen eye sight. This
is just as it should be, and we COM
mend the strong horses and the
obedient cart for the good work in
they are engaged. Watch
Farmville do things and do them
right.
A bevy of bewitchingly beautiful
Normal girls, under the chaperonage
Of Prof. Lear. witnessed the printing
and folding of the last issue of the
Herald aud their CHEEKY presence
