THE REFLECTOR

Entered at the st Greenville
N. C. as second-class m matter.
Wednesday, 1896.
Lord Russell, of who has
risen to the great dignity of Lord Chief
Justice of the England by distinguished
merit as a lawyer, has written for The
Youth's Companion of February 13th
a striking paper on liar as . a
paper is marked by
the strength and clearness of statement
which made the author, when he was
plain Sir. Charles Russell, a leader
of the bar.
For the next issue of The
ion, the Washington's Birthday
Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes,
the able inheritor of a great name, has
written an interesting supplement to
Lord Russell's presenting the
subject from an American point of view.
Appended to the article arc a brief re-
by Lord and I Una

Even in a town the size of Green-
ville not a year passes but what new
firms go in business and old firms go
out or make such changes that if a
rectory of the town should be made it
would hardly be correct three months
at the time.
Then the question arises how are
people going to keep up with the con-
changes going on and know who
is in business There is but one an-
can only go to the columns
of the newspapers, that is where
they look for information. When a
man picks up a copy of the Reflector,
for instance, and reads an advertisement,
he knows that he is reading about live
men, who are doing a live business.
Fence, tree and house-top advertising
has seen its day, and people now de-
pend upon the newspapers to tell them
they want to know.
This article was written Saturday
before the fire, but as it contains
a good lesson we print it anyway.

A LESSON ON
Not many days ago the
printed a clipping which said in sub-
stance that people paid very little
to advertisements nailed up on
trees and painted on fences, because
they did not know whether they were
reading about a firm in business
or one long since passed away, but
when they read an advertisement in a
they knew they were reading
about men who are afire and doing
business.
While in the Opera Friday
night this clipping was called back to
mind by a forceful illustration. Of
course most people who were there
that when the scenes were
being changed for the different
what is known as the advertising cur-
was lowered. This curtain was
painted possibly ten years iii and has
quite a number of advertisements on
it. While looking at these and think-
over the past we were with
the fact that put of all these advertise-
only fame represent a business
that was in existence at the
time the curtain was painted. These
throe are James Long's store, Herbert
barber shop and the
tor. The other business bare ceased
Do Something at Once.
The citizens of the town should not
neglect another day to do something
toward getting a water supply. They
should hold a meeting at once and take
such action as will compel those
Councilmen to perform their duty.
There has been folly enough along
this line. It another fire should occur
how much better prepared are we to
fight it than before Do you
to sit still the remainder of the
town is destroyed
Want More of Them.
Monday we asked Mr. J. N. Hart, of
the firm of Baker Hart, who had just
started opening their hardware business
here and lost in the fire all the goods
that had put in the store, if it was

replied, will stay in If

The business of Greenville
closed about the usual time Saturday
night, and our citizens retired to their
respective homes to enjoy a well-earned
rest from their week's labors, and
pare for the peace and quiet the
bath, never once dreaming of the great
disaster that should befall our
happy town ere the of all the
the week the should dawn. Scarce
had the old week passed and the new
fairly begun ere that dread alarm, the
cry of fire, awoke the people from their
peaceful slumbers and hurried them
forth to behold the most disastrous
conflagration that has visited the
town.
As fast as they arrived upon the
scene and saw where the fire had
gained a foot-hold, there were many
to shake their heads in despair and
exclaim Greenville is doomed And
so it seemed, and while the result
proved not so fearful as was for some-
time apprehended, yet the flames could
not be subdued two blocks
the principal street been swept
clean with the exception of a double
building each side. Ten two-story
brick stores with the Opera House, four
one-story brick stores and eleven frame
buildings made fuel for the greedy
flames.
THE CAUSE.
The fire originated in the barber shop
of Herbert next to the corner
in the Opera House block. Julius
Fleming, one of the barbers the
brush were preparing to close up
and leave the shop about one o'clock.
As they went put out on of the
large brass lamps it fell, scattering burn-
oil over the floor. They threw the
lamp in the street, smothered out the
flames on th- floor, and thinking every,
was safe went on home. Passing
down the street they met night Police-
man told him what had hap,
and asked him to notice the shop
as he by on his rounds.
The first time the officer passed he
saw nothing wrong, but going by again
a quarter to two o'clock he no.
the room full of smoke, and be-
fore be could give alarm flames had
burst through the front of shop. It
is supposed that some of the burning
oil went through the cracks of the floor
without being extinguished, or that the
stove caused the oil on the o
former most likely.

idly in three directions. Back

this building at all, but was checked

the flight of stairs and made their way
out to the roof of that building. With
ropes a ladder was drawn over the tall

Dear little darling so full of love,
Your spirit has flown to realms
And all we can do, is to weep and
pray
That we may meet again some day.
You were so merry and full of fun,
That we miss you so, dear little one;
But God took you home to dwell in
heaven,
While at the tender age of seven.
Your voice was so sweet and smile so
bright.
Your childish prattle was oar delight,
And oh how I miss you, dear little
one,
My sweet little son.
God loaned you to us such a little
while
And you won our hearts by your win-
some smile,
And when he got ready he took you
away,
For in this sinful world, you could not
But dear little darling, for you it is

That you should so early go to your

And not have to suffer as others have
done

A Big Success.
The masquerade party in the Opera
House last week, was largely at-
tended both by spectators and
pants. There were more young people
in masque than were overseen
ed at one time here. There were a few
very handsome costumes, but most of
them were on the comic order, some-
being exceedingly grotesque and laugh-
able. We sent a reporter up to get a
list of the names mid characters each
represented, but he said the crowd was
so large and they unmasked so so m
that it was impossible to get them. The
occasion was quite enjoyable. After
unmasking the dancing continued until
about o'clock.

I won't answer your
directly, hut I'll tell yon a story
which may go as an answer. About
ten years ago I had a mate, a
fellow who was a in
the medical college, and a bright
young fellow he was too. He was
fond of shooting, and to keep up his
practice he had a fine and he
converted the hall on the third floor,
which we occupied, into a shooting
gallery. I used to take a hand my-
self every time I had a chance, and
sometimes for an hour at a time he
would be banging away at the tar-
get he had fixed at the far end of the
hall.
morning I came in from a
patient's about and found
the upper story dark. I lit
the gas in the front room, which we
used as a sitting room, and was
about to go out and light the gas in
the hall, when the young fellow

room, attired in his

to him, thinking something was the

him in the before and concluded
I would watch him. He came
across the room, going around
a chair and a table that stood in his
path, and opening a drawer where

and then he loaded it, getting the
small bullets we used out of a box

the floor, which he took no note of.
he went into the dark hall,
carefully avoiding all furniture in
his way, and going as straight to
the door as if he had been awake. I
followed him cautiously into tho
hall, and when he had reached tho
point from which we did our

and fired. The slight snap and shock
of the gun seemed to have quite a
different effect than either my voice

into my arms, just about as he

leap year has some peculiarities
of which many people are
