Farmville had on its best clothes
and woie a bright face. The church
goers crowded the sanctuaries and
listened 10 the old story with new
interest The young people with a
spriukllng OF older ones enjoyed the
Sunday School lesson. and though
ia some of the States Of this Christ
ian nation the Book is excluded
from the public schools it is still
the leading text book of all the
age. To close IL to tie pupils in
our school, is as cruel as 20 shut
out the sunlg from the human
eye.
Tie regular pastors were ia their
pu.pits. and the people again heard
them gladly"

Presbyterians, and three new mem
bers were added TO the roll Of the

WORSHIP the pastor delivered the
second in a series of sermons on
the Bible. and i'm answer 70 the

THANKS.

duced tie subject Of a new fall
hat for discussion, without solV-

when he returned to the work shop
after dinner he found on the desk
suspicious looking bundle neatly
wrapped, bearing on its face his
name and the compliments Of n.
B. Davidson. And it is a perfect
fit, a perfect gem. a gift-horse into
whose mouth the happy recipient
hasn't looked, but proceeded at
once to put his head into it.
Thanks, with the promise that 1t
shall be worn modestly and with
it a heart stirred with a new thrill
Of gratitude as he feels its gentle
pressure and remembers the gene
rous donor.

SETTLE THE WATER AND SEM
ER QUESTIONS.
Something nefinlte should BE Done
at Once.

II is high tine that smething de-
finite should be done with reference
to our wate~ and sewer systems.
The town should buy them and i'm
prove them. or the owners should
know just what 90 expect so that
they may act INTEL gently.

and TO act promptly. The Herald
has no objection TO the worthy
and able men who now constitute

DEDICATED TO NEW USE.

There is a paper cutting machine
in the Herald office which is used
to cut paper into such sizes as may
be desired. but now it has been
made to do unusual service. Mr..
Ogburn. assistant cashier OF the
Peoples National Bank, brought to
the office sheets of notes bearing
the stamp Of the bank, which were
placed under the knife and cut into
sizes ready for circulation. 1t was
a goodly sight, but the regret was
that not one Of them fell into the
waste basket

A New Kind OF Corn.

Mr.. c. B. Pickett is cultivating a

Fair. Some OF his stalks this sea
