Pleased With Farmville.

One day last week the writer
was asked by a stranger, who had
lust reached the town, to direct
him to a hotel Walking with
him first along Third street and
then Main, at the evening hour
when the electric lights were in
full glow, he remarked, "This is
one of the most attractive towns
I have been to in my travels"
He had travelled far and wide.
No doubt as to the attractive fea-
lures Of the town, and all that
needs be done is to let the out
side world know about it and IN
the manner so judicious that when
the stranger comes he will say;
"The half had not been told.

Rev. Boogher was with his peo-

THE BAZAAR
BEAUTIFUL.
4 GENUINE SUCCESS IN CON-
CElTION AND ENECU-
TION.
Given Under The Auspices Of The
Ladies Of Johns Memorial
Episcopal Church.

The Bazaar which was given in
the Armory on last Friday evening
under the auspices Of the ladies Of
the Johns Memorial Church, was a
genuine and gratifying success,
faultless in conception and in exc
cution.
For the first time In its history,
the generally unsightly room was
converted into a bower OF beauty,
was made comfortably warm, and
was artistically decorated. The ta-
bles were grouped gracefully, dress
ed in snow white and made to groan
beneath the luxuries Of land and
sea.
The fancy articles were of varied
design and the product Of thought
and skill. The crowd gathered
there, feasted on the creature COM
forts and went home ladened with
Christmas offerings.
The proceeds amounted to the
goodly sum of $4,000. Again We
ask, what would the churches Do
without the consecrated hands and
hearts of the women?
1t was a woman who gave her
costliest and best offering to the
Saviour while on earth, and through
the ages her sisters have been I'm
bued with the same loving and hb-
eral spirit.

THE PRIZE CAKE.

The writer is indebted TO Miss
Mary Lee Badgett for generous
slice of her prize-winning pound
cake
The little Miss is only nine sum-
mers old, and yet at the recent
Cumberland Fair was awarded the
prize for the best pound cake made
and exhibited by the public school
children of the county, and now that
it has been submitted to another
tasteful test there is no doubt of
their decision.
Just as perfect as though moth
or had made it, and that's high
praise.

CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC.

On last Friday evening. Novem-
Der the eighteenth, the Conserva-
torv of Music gave the first one OF
the series Of musicals for the ses-
sion of 1910.
These musicals are helpful to all
of the students, but they are indis-
pensable to those who are studying
with the intention of making music
their life work. Students may at
tain great power in technique and
expression, if however, they have
not had sufficient opportunity TO
come before the public, their first
appearance will be, in all proba-
bility. a failure. For this reason
the Conservatory OF Music stresses
the necessity of musicals
The informal musicals Of the
Conservatory serve another purpose.
AT each one a paper is read on
the life of one of the great compos-
ers. After which several of his
works are played by the advanced
students. Some of the greater
works of the master would then be
rendered by DR.. Schemmel. This
gives the students an opportunity
to learn something of the develop
ment OF the history of music and TO
become acquainted with the great
masterpieces.
The last was an evening with
Chopin, and the programme was
as follows:
Piano Solos. = Hermes. Little
Birds, Miss Zela Morris.
