Rev, J. L. Rumley, Mired Methodist Minister, And One Of Farmville's Most Beloved * r Citizens, Found Dead In Bath Room of His Home Wednesday Night About Nine O'clock. Rev. J. L. Rumley, retired Methodist minister and beloved citizen of this community died about nine o'clock Wednesday evening at the age of 62 yewa. Mr. Rumley had been living here four years and had been in il. health a long while suffering fron melancholia and with heart attacks. The body was found in the bati. room of the home with the left arm cut In two places, it being evident that he had attempted to end his life. How ever,, it is thought that the strain of emotion produced a heart failure as the wounds were not sufficient to have cfwed death. Mr. Rumley was a native of Carter et county and had been in the Metho dist conference for years,, holding many important pastorates in the State. He served the local field for four years and was neld in great es teem. ' A student, a man of ability, saga ?f in spiritual things and having 7'ftved a life of sanctified service, he found it difficult to adjust himself to his condition and was given to spells of despondency. Besides his wife, who was Miss' Mamie Haskett, of Greenville, he leaves one- daughter, Miss Mary Louise, four sons, Julian, -<3utries, Denard, and Francis. Services were held from the Metho dist church Thursday afternoon at , 3:30 by the pastor, Dr. J. W. Harreli. and interment was made here. A number of friends from neighboring towns were in attendance. EFFECT OF THE RECENT COLD WEATHER ON BOLL WEEVIL The United States Department of j Agriculture has been receiving a num ber of inquiries relative to the effect ? of the recent cold snap on the hiber Afctinj hdfr.lunf il As explained is a recent statement by the department, ? an examination to determine the num- , ber of weevils entering hibernation in the past fall was completed just before this cold weather occurred and showed that in most sections an unusually large number of weevils had entered hibernation. Despite the recent cold snap, the department says, there is no reason to assume that there wiH not be ufficient weevils in the sprmg to make a strong weevil fight quite- nee esaary in the more heavily fafested districts. : Undoubtedly many weevils have been killed by the cold Experience has shown that as soon as the tem - ||g*ttire goes below 30 degrees, those ?v weevfis having the least proteetioi are the first to die, and more and more die as the temperature goes low er. However, experience has shown also that temperature as least IB de grees colder than those experiepeed recently have still permitted enough sprvival to cause, a serious weeviifjglrt following, year. Records kept over a long series of years show that the weather this winrtier has been cold enough to reduce materially the weev 2s is hibernation bat it should be re during the winter amounts to only S to 5 per cent on the average and that an unusual number entered hiberna mtt?n last fall,;- - I - ? * ?? ?

The wealth of Farmville is express od in money and every citizen has some of it The barrel into which it jan bb placed is the commerce ol Farmville. Every time a citizen buy? from a Farmville merchant he puts ;ortw of his wealth (money) into the - business-barrell of-Farmville. This ? business barrel is in turn distributed to our citizens in wages, rents, ana other transactions. "The larger the barrel and the tighter it is packed the larger will be the share of every citi zen. The distribution of the wealth of Farmville, however, does not happen all at once. It is in process throughout the year. Every day as citizens trade in Farmville they add to the sum in the business barrel, and other citizens, taking it out, pass it around. The only hitch in this endless chain comes when some thoughtless man or wo man, after receiving some of Farm ville's wealth sends it through the mails to another city, where it gets in to another barrel and Is distributed r, among other people: A LITTLE HEROINE "... 1 ' ? - - . 1 * Little Verna Chance, of Baltimore, Md., gave her life, the other day in re: sponse to theinstinct which has caus ed women throughout the ages to give ^ themselves for their children.
