THE UNION SERVICES.
Held at the Methodist Church. Ser
mon BY the Pastor.

Members of the different church
es and others met in the Methodist
Church on last Sunday evening in
attendance upon the fourth of the
series of union services for the sum-
mer. In the absence of the other
pastors Mr.. Green had sole charge
of the service and delivered a strong
Gospel sermon based on Acts S-S9,
the last clause of the verse, And he
went on his way rejoicing" An
officer high in authority had turn
ed his back on idolatry. and had
been up to Jerusalem seeking light.
On his return he sat in his chariot
reading from Isaiah when Phillip, a
preacher of righteousness Joined
him, cleared up his doubts as to the
Chist. faith followed, then baptism,
and the changed man went on his
way rejoicing.
His JOY rested on the knowledge
of the plan of salvation, freedom
from sin and union with Christ. Sol
id comfort that, for it was founded
upon a rock.
The preacher deplored the fact
that the people of God of this day
did not enjoy the happiness which
belonged to the fathers of old, and
as he emphasized the fact We were
reminded of what another had said
on the same subject.
Much has the church lost of that
pristine and powerful joy. The fur
mace of civilization has withered and
hardened her. She has become an
xious and troubled about many
things. She has sought earthly hon
ors, earthly powers. Richer she is
than ever before, and probably bet
ter organized, and perhaps more in
telligent, more learned, but not NOR
happy. The one note that is most
often missing in Christian life, in
Christian service, is the note OF
spontaneous JOY"
THE atmosphere of the New Tes-
lament is not gloom, but gladness,
not dependency, but hope. The
man who is not glad to be Chris
tian is not the right kind OF Chris
tian."
Earthly happiness - pleasures
that belong to the senses and per
ishes with them-earthly happiness
is a dream and a delusion. But
happiness on earth-spiritual joy,
peace. blossoming here, fruiting in
the ereafter-immortal happiness.
is the key note of life in Christ"
1T is inward, and not outward;
and so it does not depend on what
we have, but on what we are. 1t
can not be found by direct seeking
but by setting our faces toward the
things from which it flows; and so
we must tune the instrument If we
would hear the music"
The next services will be at the
Presbyterian Church.

Peach Trains For the North.

From the Lynchburg News we
learn that on last Sunday fifteen
cars passed through that city made
up of refrigerator cars loaded with
Georgia peaches being taken to the
Northern markets. In these fifteen
trains were about 300 cars, all load
ed with Georgia Elbertas. The move
ment has barely begun, and for som
time the Southern railway will be
busy getting the crop to market
If there were any old time Geor'
gia peaches on board, at least one
car should have been switched of
for Farmville.

There is more Catarrh in this sec
tion Of the country than all other
diseases put together and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable.
For a great many years doctors
pronounced it a local disease and
prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitution al disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactur-
ed by f. J. Cheney 4, Co., Toledo,
Ohio, is the only constitutional cure
on the market. 1t is taken internal
ly in doses from 10 drops to a tea
spoonful. 1t acts directly on the
blood and mucous surface Of the
system. They offer one hundred dol
lars for any case it fails to cure.

Death Of Mai. r. NJ. venable.


A telegram was received here Sun
day from Baltimore announcing the
death of Maj. r. NJ. Venable. which
occurred at his summer home in the
suburbs of that city.
The news was not unexpected as
Mai. Venable had long been a seri-
ously sick man. The Baltimore pa
pers are filled with handsome refer
ence to his life-work in that city
and he is remembered as one of the
leading and most enterprising of her
citizens.
Strong of body. until his health
failed, and strond of mind, it, is not
to be wondered at that he accom-
plished much in life. And many
of this section ofVirginia know what
good use he made of his money. He
was a friend Of Hampden-Sidney and
contributed literally to its sup
port.
At his request his body was Gre
mated.

Attention was called to the new
disinfectant. Caro- Feneque, which
was recently ordered for use in the
town, and which will be paid for

mended The freight on the same
has been paid, but no other money
as yet.
The fire fighting machinery was
reported in perfect order. No alarm
of fire since the last meeting of the
council.
The contract as to the use of the
telephone poles was presented and
properly signed.
The street committee made an
elaborate report as to the street and
side walk needs of the town. By
common consent it was agreed that
Main street should now receive pro-
per attention, the rough stones re-
moved and vitrified brick substitu-
ted. but as the estimated cost of i'm
provements are placed at $4,000 it
is not thought best to undertake
the work just now. But when the
work is entered upon it was agreed
that the stones should be utilized in
improving streets leading into Main.
West Buffalo street will be put
in good condition before another
winter, and as far as practical ST..
George and other important ave-
nues made passable.
other sidewalks will be laid as
soon as the work can be done and
paid for. 1t was estimated that the
work on West Buffalo will cost
some $4,000, and at least $4,000 for
new side walks. 1t was also stated
that the town could safely expend
as much as $4,000 on such i'm
provements during the coming year.
The street committee will make
another report either to a special
OF regular meeting of the body, stat
ing what work should be first done
on such lines, with the cost of the
same.
