We walked in a grocery store in 
town the other day, and found the 
proprietor enjoying a repast of boiled 
eggs and crackers. He did not stop 
until an even dozen had disappear- 
ed, and says he can eat that many 
most any time. 
There is too much hay, corn and 
meat brought to this place. It comes 
here by the car load from Northern 
and Western markets. Farmers, as 
long as you allow this you may 
expect hard limes. Begin now and 
see if you can't put a stop to this 
another year. 
On the 1st 2nd and 3rd days of 
May the registration books of the 
Second Ward will be open at the 
office of Mr. W. L. Brown. The 
same days the books for the Third

B. F. Sugg, at the foundry. 
The office imbued with 
spirit ff enterprise now alive and 
ins in this town has put on a new 
dress of paint, and now beyond doubt 
has the neatest sanctum in East Car- 
Gazette. Don't 
speak too fast, the Reflector office 
is in the section you designate. 
All the way from Mexico comes a 
proposition to the Reflector to ad- 
a lottery. But we had to turn 
it down, and for two reasons. One is 
that the laws of North Carolina are 
against it; and the other reason is 
that there three classes of advertise- 
that the Reflector draws the 
line of which is lotteries. 
Capt. C. A. White last week 
a handsome piano which he has 
just purchased for his little daughter, 
Lula. She has a splendid talent for 
music, and though quite young can 
preform very nicely on either piano

as organist in the Baptist Sunday 
School. 
The town pumps all ought to be 
overhauled and put in good order be- 
fore summer comes. We have not 
needed any water during the winter

warm weather will be sure to create 
a demand for more waler. Look after 
the wells Mr. Councilmen.

this in mind that Lang never says 
what he cannot do. He will sell you 
goods just like those figures say, 
he has a stock that be

they are cheap, all of which you can 
by visiting his store. 
A New Wrinkle. 
We dropped in last week to get 
our usual shave and found that 
James Smith, the barber, had pro- 
cured one of the shampoo 
brushes and at once had him to put 
it on. The flies and a more 
pleasant sensation can not be ex- 
than to have Jim or John 
give you a dry shampoo. You get a 
shave and the shampoo is throw in. 
Call and be convinced. 
An exchange tells of an editor who 
was robbed of You must 
be wrong, brother . We didn't know 
editors ever had so much money. 
The quantities of hay being brought 
here and sold ought to convince the 
that money could be made 
in raising the right kind of grasses. 
There was a missionary meeting 
in the Methodist Sunday 
afternoon, at a very 
program was by the 
folks. 
There have recently been some 
rates made on telegrams from 
Greenville to certain points. The Re- 
will make them known next 
week. 
There be more dwelling 
house in Greenville for rent. It is 
hard to get a now and could 
they be had more people would be 
coming here. 
Greenville ought to have a 
of commerce or business association 
that will get the town in good shape 
for work. We see splendid results 
coming from them in other towns. 
Correction. 
Miss S. Lucy teacher of 
the Public School, handed us two 
names of pupils that should have 
in the roll of honor published 
last week. The name of Frank Cow 
ell should have been in the first grade 
and Bessie Tyson in the fifth grade. 
The latter had the second best report 
of the whole school, her average being 
Mary attained 
all around. Miss Joyner expressed 
regret that the two names above re- 
to were inadvertently omitted 
from the report sent in. 
Early Closing. 
The closing of the stores 
every evening, except Saturday, 
the summer months, is already 
being talked in many of the towns 
for the coming season. We believe 
Greenville usually falls into line with 
such a movement, and most of the 
merchants will very probably do the 
same thing this year. The early 
closing begins in May and continues 
September. Such a plan gives 
both merchant and clerk some chance 
for needed recreations. 
Only 12.25. 
Instead of being able to announce to- 
day, as the Reflector had hoped, that 
the whole asked for last week

desired to purchase an invalid rolling

we can report only three responses to

This is not at all in keeping with 
Greenville's gen 
and willing aid to ob- 
of charity. Such an appeal 
should not pass unnoticed. We hope 
a better report can be made next 
week. 
Deaths. 
We bear that Mr. Jackson Pittman 
a of Swift Creek township, 
died very suddenly on last Saturday. 
It is thought he had a stroke of pa-

with the grip, which left him with 
some disease the physicians could 
not explain. He suffered greatly 
during his sickness. Our sympathies 
go out to the bereaved parents. 
Did Well, 
The present Board of Town 
have done well in their ad- 
ministration as any Board could have 
done tinder the same circumstances. 
Prior to their election the town was 
in the hands of the and 
just before being kicked out the Re- 
publican Board to keep the 
from doing any thing, cut taxes down 
just as as they could. This left 
no money for the Board of the past 
year to do work with, consequently 
not as much was done as those not 
acquainted with the circumstances 
thought ought to have been done. 
The Board did good work for its 
chances, as many improvements 
around town will bear testimony.

All those brethren of the press who 
were last week talking about seeing 
tobacco large enough to set 
out will be holding their breath when 
they hear from Pitt. On Monday 
Mr. Alfred Forbes sent the 
a tobacco plant from his Pollard 
farm that measured just inches 
across. A single leaf on the plant 
measured inches. Mr. Forbes 
says he ha hundreds of equal- 
as large as the one he sent us. 
Cruelty. 
Here is something that happens in 
most of the towns, and we have seen 
just such in Greenville. The Scot 
land Neck Democrat We 
see stock driven to town and 
left standing nearly all day without 
food or water. Then late in the after- 
noon the horse or mule is driven 
home rapidly hungry and 
perhaps in the rain. Friend, this is 
cruel, and besides very injurious to 
your stock and is helping on to a 
well deserved failure.

Week. 
The Public School taught by Miss 
Lucy Joyner assisted Misses Jen- 
Williams and Susie Brown, will 
close with this week. The school 
started out to continue five months 
with two teachers, but the attendance 
was so large as to necessitate 
a third teacher, which exhausts 
the appropriation at three and a half 
months. Many wish the school could 
have continued longer, but it could 
only go as the money lasted. The 
public schools at best only hold for 
short terms.

The of fastening strings 
of Pianos, invented by us, is one of the 
most important improvements ever 
made, making the instrument more rich- 
musical in tone, more durable, and 
less liable to get out of tune. 
Both the Mason Organs and 
Pianos excel chiefly in that which is the 
chief excellence in any musical 
quality of tone. Other things, 
though important, are much less so than 
this. An Instrument with unmusical 
tones cannot be good. Illustrated 
of new styles, introduced this 
season, sent free.

bottle of Preparation that is invaluable 
for eradicating dandruff and causing the 
hair to lie perfectly soft and 
glossy, only two or three application a 
week is necessary, and a common hair 
brush is all to be used after rubbing the 
scalp for a few minutes with 
the Preparation. Try a bottle and be
