Four Points In The

Down through the years Farmville has
made gradual progress, day by day. No
boom has taken place, no unusual outside
stimulus, such as a big manufacturing
plant, has contributed The people of this
community have used available natural re-
sources to build one of the finest towns in
Virginia
Among the important reasons for
Farmviles progress is the development of
its mercantile establishments. From the
beginning the town has been trading CEN

increased with each succeeding decade Con-
tributing to its development as a trading

among which these two department stores
are among the foremost-both have served

Stewards OF God
Lesson for November Is, 1883
IF THERE is anything the Bible

IF THERE Is anything the Bible
teaches clearly, it is that man
does not own this earth. 1t is given
him, not permanently. not to do
with as he pleases, not to waste,
not to use selfshly: but given
him, to each generation, to use
for the service OF man and TO
the glory Of God. Man is expected
to contribute something Of his own
toll and thinking: expected to
put something in as well as
take something out. Human nature

that God as an investor in the hu-

not pay such a small amount, then his stake

Prince Edward County recently initiated
central registry in the Courthouse. Each
Monday, the county registrar, is nhis Office
to register new voters and to keep the regis
tration lists correct. Several instances have
come to our attention in which the names
OF voters were not correctly registered in
the last election. In such cases the voter
should have his name correctly registered
by calling any errors to the attention of
the registrar. Once the registration books
are letter perfect" it should not be too
much of an effort to keep them correct

Is not the worst in the nation and is super

other red tape which has replaced such
systems in other states.

Ny Church

Ny church is not O man. mode house
Of wood or brick or stone,
It hos no creed must recite,
But lets me hove my own
Ny church, single temple hos
Wide os the world is vide;
It's stor-decked dome wos mode BY Him
Whose Son, men crucified.
No roof or wolIs does my church have,
Its floors ore fresh green sod;
And often when I'm there alone,
feel I'm close to God
No preacher stands within my church
To preach ond offer proyer
| need not his benedicton
When God is everywhere
P.S.
WHO builds church within his heart
And takes it with him everywhere
Is hoIier for than he whose church
Is but one day house Of prayer"

Time Passes

TINE passes but the world doesn't stand
still. Every day mark: new develop
ments; changes are inevitable and history
is being made. In the midst of change it is
profitable to review past achievements.
Two mercantile establishments stand
out in our memory-Davidsons and Bald
wins, and today these two firms are MAX
ing news. Davidson's is celebrating its 5Oth
anniversary and Baldwin's is opening a
remodeled and enlarged store
Our recollection of Main street is so
vivid. because in an apartment over a store
was our birthplace. and the sidewalks were,
or should we say, sidewalk was, our play
ground. In 1900 Farmville boosted only one
short section of sidewalk. Main street was
of cobblestones, and stepping stones rose
above the cobblestone pavement at Third
and Main. conveniently Spaced for the
average stride of pedestrian and so as
to allow the buggies and wagons to strad-
die them.
About 1905. a great sidewalk program
began and a Mr. Slocum came to town to
build granolithic walks. The face of the
town was changed when hills were pulled
into gullies, streets were graded, and side
walks constructed Bitulithic streets fol-
lowed. Effects of this grading program are
clearly noticeable on High street, where

No Poll Tax

NEW YORK CITY has no poll tax, but it
y has red tape enough TO keep 1,119,000
residents from voting in a recent election,
because they had failed to follow the red
tape set up in lieu of the poll tax or capt.
tation tax The New York Times gave as
a reason that some hadn't registered this
year and others didn't register last year
The New York voter must register each
year or be disqualified. AS pointed out by
the Lynchburg News, this is infinitely more
complicated than the Virginia system. In
Virginia you register once and your name
remains on the registry until removed for
good cause. When you pay the poll tax Of
$3.50 year your name is certified to the
Judges of election as having qualified for
the year. In case of old voters the capita
ton tax must be paid for period of three
years.
In areas where the capitation tax has
been eliminated additional restrictions and
red tape have been substituted Obviously,
a reasonable amount of protection must be
placed around the privilege of voting to
assure honest elections and to enhance the
value of the privilege. Frankly we do not
object to the capitaton tax of $3.50, and a
voters list compiled from those who do

Expanding Social Security

CECRETARY Oveta Culp Hobby of the

Welfare recently said the new Adminstra-

persons under Social Security next year.
The Secretary called the proposed extern
sion proof that the Republican Admins
ton is looking after the welfare of "all
our people
Mrs. Hobby said the proposed eXpan-
sion would probably take in such new
groups as self-employed farmers. other
farm workers and domestic workers, doc
tors, dentists, lawyers, architects, account
ants and many other professional people
In addition, many who are under State
and local retirement systems on volun-
tary basis may be included, and clergymen
on voluntary basis may also be included.
