Business Districts Allow Room

But uses specified in the bust

in the residential districts. In
other words, one can build a
dwelling in a business district,
but cannot establish a business
in a residential district.
In some cases the area zoned
for business IS now primarily a
residential district. This permits
business to move into the area,
If 1t wants to and can obtain
the property. However, the area
may remain residential for
many, many years.

met with Mrs. j. H. Lewis on
July IS, 1909 TO form a public

utes, DR. Kerlin, of the Normal
School now LongWood College, !.
was elected temporary chair
man, and Mrs. Walker Scott,

ported in the minutes.
They held public meeting in
september in the court house
and explained to the public what

maintaining a public library :"
The minutes continued, Brief
but stirring talks were then
made by Mayor Blanton. Mrs.
Fugate, Mr.. Barrow and Mr..
Walker Scott, and Dr.. Anderson
who offered to give a certain
amount annually
The idea of the library seemed
to meet with general approval
and many promised support and
gifts if it could be established
on a firm basis
Finally it was decided to set
up the library at Farmville High
School instead of trying to get
enough money to build. The stu
dents could then have the use Of
it for school work. In 1914. it
was made a free library and. IN
1917. a set of encyclopedias vas
bought dt a cost Of $o7.
Up In Smoke
A fire IN 1896 DESTROYED the
school and the library with all
It's equipment went up In smoke.
Furniture. books. and the work
OF years were gone.
The library association mem
bers were not daunted. They
wrote TO people and organiza-
tons asking fol. aid. Penders
and the A & P companies gave
$40 and SIS. respectively. Men
and women Joined hands to get
the library started again.
THIS time it was opened III a
building on Main street where it
remained until the building was
