Virginia Apples.

A correspondent of the Charlottes-
Vile Progress, syas, Il learn from
the Richmond Times-Dispatch that
Mr.. James Craig, a farmer near
Waynesboro, Augusta county. ex-
poets to market this fall 10000
barrels OF apples. from $500 trees.
He refused an offer of 1925 per
barrel for the entire crop-that is,
he refused s32,5OO. He ships them
not only to Northern markets, but
across the Atlantic. When Commis-
sioner of Agriculture Koiner was
recently at Waynesboro, Mr.. Craig
shipped on one day a carload Of
apples. destined to Europe"
And in the same communication
he alludes to the Albemarle pip
pin as the prince among apples, and
as we believe, for the reason that
he never saw the Wine Sap of
Southside Virginia in its perfec-
tion.
There is no better apple that
grows on trees. and as all apples do
grow on trees. this is to say that
there is no better apple to be found
beneath the stars. And if the
Southside Virginia land owners
would pay as much attention TO the
growing fWine Sap apples as is
given to the Pippin the world would
soon know that we do raise the
choice of the apple family.
OF course, there are winesaps and
winesaps. but we refer only to the
winesap at its best. And in this
section they can be made to attain
to that as no where else.

That Government Building.

If the council had appointed that
committee charged with the duty
of looking after a Government build
ing while Congress was in session
it might have accomplished some
thing. The Herald sent all the
facts to Mr.. Turnbull while the
body was at work and then urged
that a committee be sent to Wash
ington. II the members of that
committee do go 10 Washington
just now about all that they could
do would be to ride on the cars and
look at the buildings. But Con
gress will meet again. the individual
members of the committee continue
to live. as we trust, and when De-
cember does come be ready for
earnest work. Farmville has long
since put itself on record as being
entitled to the building. and it
should be had for the asking. but
Congress in session is the body to
which application should be made
Or it may be in contemplation TO
write to Mr.. Cannon and obtain
the privileges of the floor on the
first day of the session.

MUSIC BY THE BAND.
CONCERT ON THE NORMAL
SCHOOL LAWN.
The Farmville Silver Band Greet
The students OF The Normal
La The Universal Language
CT Earth.

On Friday evening of last week
the Farmville silver Band gave
an open air concert on the lawn
in front OF the Normal and in hon
or OF the student body.
Contribution of the masters fol-
lowed contribution in quick success
sion and the air of the September
night was made to thrill with strain
Of sweetest music. No number rem
dered failed Of enthusiastic approval
but when Dixie. whose melody
was not made to die" sounded out
hand-clapping took on new vigor,
heel-tapping made the building TO
tremble. while shouts of glad voic-
es made the welkin ring.
Some soft, sad airs may have
moved hearts homewards and the
dreams that followed may have
bridged the space that separates for
the time, and yet the waking
hours. as we trust were undimmed
by tears and unstirred by sighs.
And now that music hath added
its welcome to that of the many
in Farmville. our hope is that every
body will feel at home in Farmville
and that the home may be one Of
peace.
