Farmville House Wives Turn Out For Curb L * wi rtfUfpfS, rfWWwJ^Mrnr NK 1 The first day of Farmville's Curb Market, last Saturday, saw plenty of buyers but few of the farmers on hand. All of the pro duce was soon sold.' It is hoped that many more farmers will take advantage of this splendid opportunity to re ceive better prices for farm pro ducts. This is the farmer's fciiest chance to turn his crops into ready money. He should be read y and willing to better .himself in this way. The Market opens at nine a. m. every Saturday; it is situated next door to the Farmville Furniture Co. on Main Street.
