The Reflector always an
interest In its advertisers and what
they are doing, and the last days
we have been looking in to see what

something about what is found in the
stores of these wide awake and enter-
prising business men.
j. B. k CO.
The Christmas shopper will be
most dazzled when he first enters the
mammoth stores of this firm, but
bewilderment gives place to joy as an
inspection of their excellent stock be-
gins. We don't believe there is a town
North Carolina that can show in
one establishment a more complete
display of general merchandise. Th y
ave something to suit everybody a-d
is this additional
about it, that whatever is you in
this store as to the character or value
of any article can be put down as every
word true. Among the many
they carry is an excellent line of furn-
and cannot get a better
present than one of their
handsome chairs.
ALFRED FORBES.
Here's another of general mer-
well worth looking at. Mr

C. COBB i
If there is any business line that
Greenville excel in it is general mer-
stores, places where a full line

establishment ranks among the best.

the business men of Greenville, to the

The replied to this, saying
in substance that the hist request in

the schedule of the pres train with-

on this schedule our train

ahead of the arrival any other train
with which it has to connect. Thus it is
seen that by having a little faster run-
time and not this train

trains, the schedule going north could
be shortened an hour the
train allowed to leave ton that
much later in the morning without
breaking any connection. as we
go along that the Washington and Ply-
mouth branches occupy about the

Then again, in the afternoon our
train is held at Weldon until

trains have departed, while it our train
was to have Weldon soon after
the arrival of the Seaboard train from
the at o'clock, and connect at
Halifax with the north bound

saving in time.

that the most important connection for

This is of principally to the
people along the section of that road
nearest to Norfolk who wish to go the

little or no inconvenience to those
if their stay in Norfolk was shortened
only one hour, and the train allowed
to leave and reach Hobgood an hour

This would permit our train Io come on

caught on fire. Old man Jim Ward

and had built a big in the
rickety stove and left it. The
roof of the shanty was in flames when

promptly to the alarm and soon had the
