Appreciated At AuvOnia.

The James River Clarion has
this to say of the preaching of the
Rev. w. f. Hill at Arvonia.
THE rain is a great blessing, but
in one respect we regret the con-
tinual downpour just now, and that
is, it causes many people to miss
some of the finest sermons ever de-
livered in Arvonia
Mr.. Hill is a powerful speaker.
He takes his text, closes his Bible
and gets right down TO a heart-to-
heart talk with his congregation. He
breaches without working on a
mans sympathy He lays the plain
and the solid gospel down in a way
which jars the very foundations Of
sin, and makes men and women
think as never before.
His sermon Monday night, partly
to the members of the church and
to the people who call themselves
Christians. was splendid. He point
ed clearly the way Of a Christian
life. of the sacrifices and duties. He
impressed upon them their response
bility.
Such sermons as Mr.. Hills are
rare and far reaching. and his
thoughts are driven home and will
linger long in many hearts
His heart-to-heart talks are
pillars of strength to all, and draw
clear line between the world and
the church.
People flock to hear him because
he breaches the solid gospel and
every word rings with earnestness
and sincerity of the old-time relig-
ion.

Up in Spokane they have recently
celebrated Fathers Day" and in
connection with the celebration so
well said; Give the old man a
chance. Let it be known over all
this broad land that father, pop.
dad" 'the governor" pepper" is
beloved and appreciated for some
thing else than his ability to pay
bills"
Here in Farmville we have had a
Mothers Day" and a good day il
was, and then "Children's Day" and
it too was a bright, happy day. and
why not a Fathers Day."
Let the loving and loyal daughters
OF Farmville take the matter in
hand. perfect the program. name the
day and we will all rally to their
support. Pop" has done more than
pay bills.

THE BOARD OF TRADE.
Gas and Oil Considered. Insurance
Rates Discussed

There was a regular meeting of
the Board Of Trade held on Tuesday
evening last. Reports from the sew
eral standing committees were call
ed for, but none were made as no
matters of interest had developed.
The subject of boring for oil
and gas was discussed, and the ven
ture was endorsed with enthusiasm.
The board stands behind the move
ment and will give it earnest sup
port.
Nothing has yet been dine on the
matter of fire insurance rates for
the town, the companies waiting for
the proposition of an insurance map
of the town by which they will be
governed in fixing the rates.

Work of UnseIfishness.

The Petersburg Progress says oil
the Petersburg fair: 1T should be
remembered that the proposed fair
is in no sense a money-making
scheme. There is not a single busi-
ness man connected with the pro-
position that has an idea of reap
ing any benefit except such as may
accrue to the city as a whole by
encouraging closer relations between
the business community and the
farmers of Southside Virginia" The
same is just as true of the Farm
vile district fair. It is a community
effort in which all the people of
town and country are alike interest
ed. Let's make it a daisy. and we
will.

UNION OF THE CHURCHES.
SERVICES AT THE EPISCOPAL
CHURCH.
Spirited Singing and the Sermon
by the Rector.

The second of the union services
among the churches for the sum-
mer was held at the Episcopal
Church on last Sunday evening in
presence of a large audience. Rev.
Dudley Boogher, rector of the
church, preached from that search
ing text, What think ye of
Christi" Searching for the reason
that "as a man thinketh in his
heart, so is he" The question the
preacher said, was first addressed
to Pharisees and other Jews, who
having the prophecies of the Old
Testament to learn from, could not
plead ignorance as an excuse, and
the same question has come down
through the ages and presses close
TO the hearts OF the people of this
age
What think you of Christ, who
while on earth went about doing
good?" What think you of the
Christ who died to give life eter-
raj? What think you of the Advo-
cate at the right hand of the Faith
or? What think you of the Christ
who will come again as Judge? We
repeat, these are searching ques-
tions. and what shall the answer
lie?
Thoughtlessness now will be no
excuse when He comes to judge the
world in righteousness. The ser
mon was an impressive one and
should bear fruit. At its close
Rev. Mr.. Fugate offered a fervent
prayer. and all left the building
feeling that it was good to have
been there.
At the morning hour of worship
the pastors of our churches occu-
pied their respective pulpits. the
Rev. Mr.. Hill having returned on
Saturday from Aryonia. where he
had been preaching during the
week.
The union services for next Sun
day will be held at the Presbyter-
ian Church. the pastor to preach
the sermon.

STILL DOING GOOD WORK.
The Best" In Virginia and Farm
ville's Best Friend.

Sometime since, Major Koiner,
the State Commissioner Of Agricul-
ture, published a list of names of
parties of different States of the
Union who are making enquiries of
Virginia lands and general con-
ditions. Copies of the Herald,
Industrial and the usual weekly edi-
tions were promptly mailed to the
parties. and now replies are being
received.
Among the most interesting of
them was one from a lady of a sis
ter State. and was addressed to Mr..
S w. Paulett. Jr She had read
his advertisement in the Industrial
Edition of the Herald of the Farm

Richmond has recently contribut-
ed $4,000 to promote the business
and contribute TO the success Of the
State Fair and no money was ever
better spent. The grounds are To-
Gated there and thither the crowd
must go and there they will spend
their money.
And what is true of Richmond anc
the State Fair is equally true Of
Farmville and our district fair. And
Farmyille has recognized the fact
by appropriating its money to the
venture. And what is true Of
Farmville is also true of the county
of Prince Edward. The getting to-
gether of the people of the county

but gives inspiration too.

Leaving his wife on the front
porch, Harry c. Kayton, a steam
filter, who lived at S29 Twenty
sixth street, went to his bed room

committed suicide by shooting him
self through the head with a 90
calibre revolver, the muzzle of which
he placed in his mouth before pull
ing the trigger. When Mrs. KaytOn
rushed into the room a few seconds
later, having been attracted by the
report of the shot, she found her
husband sitting almost upright in
the bed, his back resting against
two pillows. A small stream of blood
trickled from his mouth and in his
right hand, which lay across his
breast was the smoking revolver.
Up TO the time he left the porch
to go into the house, he seemed to
be in a pleasant frame Of mind. He
had been talking with some neigh
bors for sometime and when he went
into the house, Mrs. KaytOn did
not suspect that she would not again
see him alive. Only a few seconds
afterwards a pistol shot rang out
and Mrs. Kayton rushed into the
house 10 investigate.

ing in bed unconscious, Mrs. Kay

in the brain. Kayton lived only a
short time after the shot was fired
and he was unconscious 10 the
end.
DR.. B. R. Gary. the city coroner.

yet designate some one day to be
known as the great day of the
feast" and such program will be
arranged as will be worthy the oc-
casion.
The counties will do likewise, and
yet on the Farmville day all the
counties should gather here and
make it a general hand-shaking, and
heart-welcoming day. We will have

We ask of our readers to write TO
their absent friends and remind
them of the home coming.
