making a still hunt in the matter
of county division. wanting to
have the county divided into two
parts, with the object. of course of
making Philip a comfy seat. The

section will not stand for a deal of
that kind, believing that the coun-

parts instead Of two. Why not
wait until after the town elections
before stirring up county seat

the county is settled up enough SO

portant lesson that all the great
givers were great savers before
they were yivers. Moreover. it is
only by learning to save carefully
that men learn to give udicionSIN.
Save. save. save. that is a lesson
for the young men of our land.
1t is a lesson that needs special
emphasis here in the west. We
are great big hearted, jovial,
spending people, and inclined to
be proud of it. As Il rule the
foreign born American is inclined
to be more thrifty than his Ameri-
can born neighbor. This makes
the former most desirable
pioneer, and in a quarter Of a cen
tury usually gives him possession
OF his full share of the wealth of
the community.
Let us then resolve for the new
year to save more, to spend less,
to give freely. accordingly y as God
prosperous us, to every worthy
cause, to think sanely about this
matter of saving and giving, to
grasp and hold fast high ideals in
all things, but more especially in
our financial transactions with our
brother man. Turn once more to
Franklin wise sage and philosO-
pher-and read again, For age
and want save while you may; no
morning sun lasts all day" And
remember above all things that the
difference between the man who
earns a dollar and spends ninety
cents of it and the man who earns
dollar and spends dollar and
ten cents is the difference between
heaven and hell here and hereafter.

Press Humor --Most Anything Smile

The story of minister who held
a religious meeting in a peniten-
tiary and aroused the ire of the in
mates by announcing as a hymn
that one beginning THE dying thief
rejoiced to see," is equaled by the
tale of local preacher whose
church got in debt not long ago. A
congregational meeting was held
for the purpose of extricating it,
and the chairman of the board of
deacons, or whatever the financial
body was. got up and stated the
situation, and ended by calling for
a special collection to make up the
deficit.
This idea was carried out, and
the number of the song was an

SUGGESTS NEW LINES
FOR DIXIE LAND
Writer'S Intent Is for Verses
That Can Be Sung With
Equal Fervor All
Over Union.

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-O. G. +.
Sennek, chief of the division of
music of the library at congress,
declared Dixie" to be first among
American songs in patriotic popu-
larity. Mr.. Sennek gave Yankee
Doodle" second place, Star Span
gled Banner" third, "America"
fourth, then Hail Columbia" They
were ranked not according to must
cal merit, but according to their
places in public favor.
Mr.. Sennek said in effect that all
that Dixie" needs to make it the
real national song is that some
librettist write to the air dignl-
fled, high sounding set of verses.
But their purport must be such that
good Americans all over this land
can chorus.
The suggestion about a new set
of verses was not last, for r. E.
Burke of Englewood, n. j.. after a
consultation with the muse has
sent the following:

Then shout for the Land Of Free

Fine things are being said of the
Virginia soldiers at Gettysburg. and
our home company comes in for
prominent mention. The company
was the first in the Regiment and
led in all field movements. We are
glad to have them back again. and
indulge the hope that they will new

OF course they saw the bill up

Old Buildings Being Renovated and
New Ones Being Erected.

Sometime since the Herald call
ed attention to the improvements be
ing made on building lines on South
Main street, mentioning the fact
that the home of the late c. c. Bass
had been made one of the most at
tractive of the smaller residences of
the town. that the n. b. Davidson
residence was being enlarged and
greatly improved. and now the old
Noel home is in the hands of the
workers, who are making attractive
additions, while Mr. J. f. Walton is
having built a new and handsome
residence
Watch South Main grow, Watch
all Farmville grow, And just here
the Herald would urge the resi-
dents of South Main to inaugurate
a movement which will lead to con-
verting into a permanent park that
plot of land in front of the Motley
home, which could be made place
pleasing to the eye, whereas now
it is an eye-sore, and has long been
such.
What a refreshing retreat for the
evening hours it could be made.
Tear away the unsightly fence and
substitute graceful curbing. plant
shade trees, start a new sod and
put in the comfortable benches.
This isn't idle talk, nor visionary
suggestion, but a practical one.
Farmville needs the breathing place
and should have it. And when that
spot has been made beautiful. there
are others. AS long as we live

we are gone let's leave inspiration

Fourth of July Picnic.

A number of families of New
Settlers enjoyed a picnic on the
Fourth at the home of Mr. and Mrs
A. F.. Howard, on the Cumberland
road.
In spite of the rain a good crowd
was present, a splendid dinner par
taken of and profitable time spent
in getting acquainted
Mr.. Underwood, who has been
with US only two months, had the
misfortune to have a horse kicked
by its mate, and so seriously injur-
ed that it was deemed necessary to
put it out of its misery at once.
The good hearted people, quick to
proffer substantial sympathy, con-
tributed quite a neat sum towards
the purchase of another animal.
Mrs. Howard very kindly turned
her home over to the picnicers
when they were driven to the por-
ches by rain, so the tables were set
inside instead of under the spread
ing branches of the grand old trees,
as had been the plan.
Beautiful bouquets for the CEN
ters of the tables and roses for the
plates were contributed by Mr.
Johnson, manager of the new Nur-
sery.
The affair was arranged and neat
ly carried out by Messrs. Jehne &
Hunt.
