I have that splendid property, just east of the town limits in South Greenville, into convenient lots for home-seekers
and will sell them on easy terms. There is no better location for homes anywhere around Greenville. High elevation, level,
and convenient, being only a few minutes walk from the business part of town. This property is just outside the corporate
limits, yet those who reside there will have the benefit of the graded school, and be as near to the churches, and depot and
as are the people in many parts of the town, being only three hundred yards from Five Points, nice neighborhood
adjacent to the property. Talk it over with me and let me show you these desirable lots. No better time than NOW buy.
Greenville will grow rapidly in the next few years and property will be higher. Catch the opportunity before it is too late.

JUST ONE OF AN EDITOR'S
TRIALS.
The past week has spoken volumes
to the credit of the people of
county. On last Saturday night
two dastardly crimes were commit
one the attempted assassination
of a merchant in Greenville and the
other the brutal murder of the con-
stable of Farmville township while
in the discharge of his duties.
In the instance, in less than
forty eight hours after the
of the crime the would-be as-
was captured, tried, convicted
and sentenced to twelve years in the
penitentiary. In the second in
stance, in less than a week after the
crime the murderers are
and to death
and the other to the penitentiary
for years.
Though the people felt outraged
at these crimes, they were calm and
waited for the law to lake its course,
Not a word of rash talk have we
heard, nor even a hint that any one
desired to do violence to the
of these crimes. I-urge
crowds were in attendance during
trials in court and at no time
was there any indication of disorder.
The people were at the
progress made in prosecuting the
cases, and are satisfied that the re-
meets the ends of justice. It
shows law abiding Spirit that
prevails.

during the past two weeks Judge It
F. Long said many things that left
an impression upon his hearers. A
trial for illegal selling of whiskey in
prohibited territory came up for
judgment and the usual plea for
leniency had been made by counsel
for defense. Judge Long re-
marked that this was a business that
should be broken up. Any stranger
could come in Pitt county see
that whiskey sold, legally
illegally, at little villages over the
county making large business
for the criminal court dockets. II
he had the privilege of a vote in the
matter it would be cast against the
sale of liquor anywhere that ample
police protection could not be had.
The little towns and cross roads
villages have no protection. They
may have a constable or police officer
these places, but they are not go-
to do anything against the man
who sells whiskey, being under their
influence with eyes and months
ed with a liberal supply of free
whiskey These officers will never
slop whiskey selling.
At another time man of good
raising and line intellect plead
to the charge of being a nuisance
through common drunkenness
Judge Long said this was one of the
cases that positively made him sick
and he did not know what to do
with such a man lie had shown
that there were times he could
control himself, even for a long e-
and again his appetite for
drink made a hog and a nuisance of
