Every Citizen Would Do
Well To Read The Fol

I wish to thftnk you for your
expression of confidence and
eilcem mauifesfled inoledlinjj me
mayor of your town. "\j am not
vain enough to believe for a
moment that your a<5iion - was
prompted by personal admi
ration or that you deemed me
the mod cabbie, nor thut you
intended my elevation to this
office to be solely honorary, but
that you hoped and intended
that 1 should, in tome measure
at leaSI, be successful in ac
complishing something for the
progress of our beloved town.
While I feel my un worthiness
and my ioabiUty to measure op
to the demands, 1 bog to assure i
'Jouthat I shell firive earnestly
and faithfully to render the very
beit service of which I am
capable. I believe that with
your hearty assistance and co
operation we shall succeed as
w* dfeaerve, but l>5vool<2 be un
;> true to myself, to you and to the
town which I represent did I not
remind you that without your
cooperation advancement is .'m
possible
In behalf o( the town I want
to thank the ladies of the Civic
Laagye for the work they have
tweenty-two dollars worth of
garbage cans so that the waSle
paper, trash and rubbish can be
deposited in these cans inSlead
of beiag thrown out into the
Streets. This work on the part
of the Civic League proves that
the ladies have the sanitary con
ditions of the town at heart. ; ? 3
Wei admit that the sanitary
conditions and the Streets of
Farmville need improvement,
and we especially need to im
prove our sanitary conditions,
but when we review the ad
vancement and progress that has
been made in the pail few years
that we have
butt
donfe
Iheso responsibilities and oppor
tunities arc individual as well as
coiledive. Each iias bis or her
own pail to perform. We grow
and prosper by service nnd good
deeds. It is easily within the
range of posii>ilities to clean off_
ill the weeds and Hash on on*
Jlreets and btclc lots.
About July fiift tha Commis
jioocrs are going to take Aep?
greatly to improve the geoclW
sanitary conditions and ins very
essential that every citiwm of
Farmville, white nnd eolored,
rich or poor, encourage this move
pttnL We want to adopt a meth
od "lo swat tie flies" and pre

sible, and to do th}s we mufl fujl
clean up our back lots and yards
dear of all waflc paper, dccayed
fruits and vegetables, and when
we have once collen them en
tirely cleaccd up I beteivc every
one will take a pride in keeping
ihem so.
1 have given lliis matter a great
ueal ot thought, and I have

SPUK INTO M
TRANSMinER.
.
Many of Ibe co:npluinls~made
by subscribers that their tele
puones do not talk up and that
they caonot hear or be heardr
are frequently due to the im
proper method of the subscribers
in talking into- the telephone.
Some subscribers talk "at it,"
some "away from it" and some
at though the telephone did hot
cxifl". The proper way to use
a telephone is to talk dirctfly in
to the transmitter.
Telephone engineers have
made elaborate tc&ito show the
effc<3 on transmission expressed
in miles ot No. 10 B&S coppir
circuit from the varying diihncc
of lips from the transmiiu r

lowing figures:
LIPS DISTANT
LOSS TRANSMISSION
EQUIVALENT TO

II is true that the telephone
h is been in common use for a
great many years yet it is also n
f.-.d that a large terccntage of
telephone users do not speak in
to the transmitter. To do this
has a two-Cold advantage; it en
ables the person at the other end
of the circuit to hear you per
fectly, and keep?, in part, nt leail,
the. "sfland-cr by" from hearing
what you have to say. The
next time you talk local or Long
Distance. Speak into The Trans
mitter and ask the party you are
talking to do the same, and note
the wondrous change, and what
n pleasure it is to "Gift the miles

FUNERAL OF
GOV. JARVIS
'
Impressive Services Over
The Remains Of The Il
lustrious Statesman.
Greenville, June 21. ? "In
peace, the breath of spring," says
the itscriptioa which has placed
above the mantel in the parlor
of the Jarvis home at Greenville,
and with that peace which pass
eth all understanding the por
tion of the late Thomas Jordan
Jarvis, his remains were laid to
rerfl here this afternooo in Cherry
Hill cemetery. From all sec
tions there were present wn
and women who in words, flow
< rs and in silence paid tribute to
the heroic dead, for Thomas J.
Jarvis, a hero in peace an<J in
war, a son of the State than
whom' none flood higher.
Greenville as a whole did hon
or to his memory. On the
courthouse green draping* of
mourning about the Confederate
monument were the outward
symbol of the mourning in the
hearts of the people for the great
North Carolinian who is no
more. In Aate his body lay in
Jarvia Memorial church from
half after nine ye&erday morn
ing till after the funeral service.
Covering the casket with flowers
in many designs, more of these
were about the chancel and tfie
pulpit. And all through the day
there were friends who came to
lb laft farewell to that one
t whom is writ North Caro
lina history.
The floral remembrances were
Rreif in number and beautiful in
design, these coming from organ
izations, from groups of those
who loved and honored him,
from individual friends, masses
of fragrant flowers everywhere.
I About these ran a rope of sweet
peas to be used at I he grave, this
from the Ea& Carolina Teachers
Training school; a lyre of roses
and carnations from the local
I bar; a great wreath of roses, lilies
and palms from the faculty of
the Training school; a Knights
of Pythias' shield in daisies; carn
ations and sweet peas; a wreath
of gladioli and roses from Sena
tor and Mrs. Lee S. Overman; a
cross of roses and peonies from
the Syrians of Greenville; a dove
above the cafket, made of dah
lias, oilers and sweet peais from
Mr. and Mrs. Felix Harvey, of
Kindlon, a stand of flowers, these
[ from bus'uess men ol Greenville,
?nd flowers from many other
scouttcs.
Brides the sioginfc of music
which iekoow wherever there are
churches, and the reading of the
scriptoftes, a poem, "Recompen
se." was read by CoL John F.
i.liruion, of WUsoo, this as ? mes
?sagc from Mrs. Thomas ). Jarvis,
and prayers
by Kev. Harry M. North, of Dur
1. M. Daniel, pas
tor of Jprvis Memorial Methodic
churcli, and remarks by Dr. J. Y.
Joyncr, Staic Superintendent of
Public inglrudtion, Judge H. G.
Connor of Wilson, and Rt-v. H.
M. North. These made up the
services at the church, at the
grave in Cherry Hill ccmetery
there being prayers and the ben
editflion. The services were sim
ple throughout, by this losing
nothing in their impressivenes?.
For twenty minutes, beginning
at ten minutes to two yesterday
afternoon, the bells of all the
churchcs here wer; tolled, the
pallbearers, the minivers and the
immediate family leaving the
house for the church just before
two o'clock. The pallbearers
were citizens of Greenville and
the honorary pallbearers well
know and prominent in the life
of the Slate who had come to do
honor to the memory of one of
its mo& didjnguished sons. The
church and the annex were filled
to overflowing, many people re
maining on the outside or, gath
ering at the cemctery, while
numbers were along the side
walks on the route from the
church to the cemetery.
A Reformer Who Learned.
Bill Jenkins used to toil and
think for all that be was
worth,
His purpose bein' to get out and
elevate the earth.
He wanted reformation an' he
wanted it fur fair,
An' made his fellow-man the ob
ject of his special care.
If his fellow-nun was hungry
Bill could show him how the
fad
Was due to some Wad fadl or
| _ some ill-con sidered adl;
He wus shocke I beyond i *
! pression at the aulis that he
could find
But willin' to be shocked some
more, to upltii human kind.
He drew comparison twixt folks
that didn't get along.
An' thoae who like himself seem
ed rather confident an'
Anas'.
He felt n bit superior an' the
feelin' kind o' grew
That he hadn't no bad habits?
lea&ways only one or two.
Yet his schemes for reformation
on a Aritfly wholesale plaa.
They didn't seem of value to ha
sufferiu* fellow-man.
He sometimes save expression
to opinions almoit rude.
To what he would refer as "the
world's ingratitude."
He took the failure to except his
good advice to heart,
The fo!ks admitted that his talk
was mighty fine an* smart
He didn't underA<ftd the ways
of hone& kindly care,
Great Wisdom ain't nncommw,
but true sympathy is rare
He flopped an' thought it jver
aa'his poise beet tA and
warm
As be said, UI wouldnV wonder
tf it's me that needs reform!
This wcrld would surely kit a
pace that's generous aJ' good
H*vary one reformed hisself an'
