Headline:  The Death Roll...The old man, the man in middle life, and the young 
man obey the call

In the death of J.M. Orange, Farmville loses a citizen who in his life gave to 
us the good example of untiring devoiton to daily duty.

Never strong of body, and even after his strength failed, he "stuck to the 
last" and labored on when other men would have abandoned the struggle.  His 
last act of public nature was to drag himself to the polls on the day of 
recent town elections and there express his choice as a citizen and voter and 
in doing so set an example worthy of following, especially in this age when so 
many are disposed to neglect this important civic duty.  After painful and 
wasting illness, lasting through weary months, he died at his home on Virginia 
Street (inserted by S.E.--this is in Farmville) on Monday last, and the burial 
took place Wednesday morning and he now rests from his labor in our City of 
the Dead.
