This Man Wants Funerals.
Five Forks, Jan.17, 1896.
Mr. Eprror: Inanswer to yourtime
Vy article inviting our opinion as to
what-can be done during the coming
year for the betterment of the town, I
think GreenvilleTs greatest need is more
public spirit amongst the monied and
usiness men, and to hold the ~Town
Commissioners responsible in part for
their short comings. The streets are
ap indication of a townTs progress.
oShow me a town that pays no regard to
-lits sidewalks and streets and ITll show
you a town whose population is for
_ gelf, and whose greatest desire is to see
every enterprise that starts up & fail-
ure. ~The days of old fogyism are num-
bered ~with the past- I have known
_ some towns that were helped by having
gome few first-class funerals, but with
ous a few fifth class (af they oare rated
othat high) would materially ~aid the
» townTs prosperity.
One good move on the way is
whether tobacco has done anything
for Reidsville, Winston, Greensboro,
being,� and a good piece of road is an
light.
We have its true the moon, once a
~month, and in December last we had
two. We want water, we donTt need
it until we have-a fire. We want more,
Durham and last but by no means

yille have been if it had not been for

Good Roads and Streets.
EpiTor Revixcton!
_ White everybody is urging the need
of water for the town avith which to put
out fire, I want to say afew words of
interest to every one in the county.
All of us have heard the stoty of the
oArkansas Traveler,� in which it is re-
lated how the owner of the house with
a defective roof explained that he could
not repair it while it was raining and
when it wasnTt raining the roof answered
all right, just as it was.
In too many localities the bad condi-
tion ofthe highways may be accounted
for in the same manner. Through the
busy teaming scason the farmers are too
much occupied with other work to give
the conditi n of the. highway much at-
tention. And when their busy season
is over, so they think it isnTt worth
while to do anything until next year. °
And so owith a lick and a promise,�
the roads are patched up ofor the time
accident or the result of NatureTs kind
ness.
Just now is a good time for the tar-
mers andthe residents of the smaller
towns to build their good roads, ~on
paper,� at least. |
With good, correct roads in this coun-
ty two-thirds of the expense of market-
~ng its produce would be saved. It is
worth considering. The value of farms
would be increased greatly and every-
body. would be much happier.
Are the farmers of the land and
dwellers in the town properly improv-
ing the time in educating themselves
and others in this vast important o~mat-
ter?
A
roads it keeps.
good public road is a benefactor to Man-
kind.
Plan your work now and do it just
as soon as you can,
We have not the stone with which to
macadamize our roads and streets as
many of the western counties are doing
but we could greatly improve them by
using wide tires on wagons, carts and
drays,
A wagon with wide tires heavily
loaded can be drawn 40 to 60 per cent.
more easily over a soft or sandy road
than the narrow tires we now use. Bo
you believe that? If not, why not?
It has been proven.
Yours for more roads and better roads.

Fpiror Rer_ectTor:
You ask what can be done during
Greenville. It is.a timely and import-
ant question and all of usshould show an
interest in this, the betterment,and im-
provement of our town. Probably the
clergy will dwell on the morals and
their improvement. Butthe writer will
say right here that individually we can
make the morals of this place second to
no town in the State.
Now what can we do as a_ business
people to bring new business to our
place? Ido not mean by this more
stores, as it seems to the writer that our
merchants handle the trade,of this town
in a very satisfactory way, that Green-
ville is a good place to trade at. I will
say let us all trade at home as mueh as
possible the coming year, this alone
will keep some of the money. with us
away. Try it for a year, you will like
it and probably save money.

+ the flesh of the hog. Scien-
omen hint of bacteria; physicians
onourie against pork, and dis-
criminating fathers and mothers de-
bar it from their'tables. Down south,
however, no such prejudices obtain.
There it is still the custom to eat
iberally of backbone stew, hogTs
head cheese, soused pigsT feet, scrap-
brain souffle and other delecta-
ble dishes, with a reckless disregard
of conseqpdfices. Yards and yards
of linked black puddings and san-
Rages are prepared and eaten there,
and the people pronounce them good.
Rows on rows of sides, hams and
shoulders are swung from the raft-
ers of dim smokehouses, there to be
cured with the wholesome fumes of
ternately burning and smoldering,
in accordance with the undeviating
rules. .
Hog killing on the plantation is
an event attended with ceremony
and excitement. Even housewives
arrange their social engagements
with reference to its demands.
oWe canTt come next week be-
cause we are going to kill,T a soft
voiced matron will say. _
oTt may thaw and you canTt kill,�T
somebody suggests, but the mistress
shakes her head, contending that it
is the right time of the moon, and
all will be well.
The excitement begins in the
kitchen when the aged pig sticker,
imbued with a sense of the impor-
tance of his office, goes to interview
the cook as to the particular knives,
pails and dishpans she oan spare for
an indefinite time. In the beginning
she tells him that she canTt spare
any, andin the end she lets him
havo everything he wants, but he
acquires each article with a distinct
struggle and after a promise to bring
it back when he is done with it, a
promise which she knows of old he
will not fulfill. oPossessed of the
murderous weapons, he is ready for
the killing.
A veil may be drawn over the ex-
eoution and the attendant ceremo-
alists.

are severing the fat from the lean,
pink meat, carving it into olong

be rendered into lard. The long han-
dled stuffer, black and shining, is

round faced maid and experienced

The big black pot is filled with

STORIES OF EUGENE FIELD,
fales ef the Poet That Are Told Among
His Chicago Friends.
During cne financial crisis that
was especially severe Eugene Field
could see no way out of his difficul-
ties except to ask for a raise of sal-
ary, and that was as abhorrent to
his fine nature as it would have been
to do a mean aetion. Several days
in succession he came to the office
resolved to make appeal to Mr.
Stone, and each day he went home|
having failed to nerve himself up to
the speaking point. Finally he
formed a thoroughly characteristic
resolution, and for a week was not
seen in the office at all. Then one
afternoon he marched into Mr.
StoneTs office followed by four of his
little children, the five of them pre-
senting such a pitiable appearance
as would have wrung tears from bis
employer had his heart and his name
been synonymous, which was far
from being the case. Father and
children were dressed in rags and
tatters from head to foot; the chil-
drenTs toes were sticking out bare
through holes in their shoes; their
faces were unwashed and their eyes
red, as if they had been orying.
Field himself was in no better
plight, and there the five stood in
front of Mr. Stone, speaking not a
word, but looking at him with ap-
pealing glances. All this of course
had been carefully rehearsed by
Field during the week of conspiracy,
and the result was simply over-
whelming. At last Field broke the
silence, looking at his employer, who
was also his best friend, outof those
big eyes so full of human kindness,
and said:
oDo you think you can see your
way, Mr. Stone, to raising my sal-
ary?T
Needless to say he got the raise.
FieldTs eccentricity showed itself
in the books he purchased, many of
which had no possible bearing upon [
his work and indeed had small in-
trinsic value. ~~My library,TT he
used to say, ~~is full of fool books,�
and there was some truth in this.
For example, he had hundreds of
volu:nes containing the works cf
unknown and or the most part un-
vortuy pocts. Nothing pleased him
more than to buy some little volume
of execrable verse produced by 2
poet in Peoria or Coldwater or any
other insignificant place, and these
be would range proudly with the
others and sometimes turn over the
pages ~~just to see how bad they
were.TT He said that things had to
be either very good or very bad in
order to please him.
One of the queer things he did at
The News office was the establishing
of what he called the ~Field me-
morial window,TT really a portion of
aglass door over which he had an
artist draw a cherub with the ortho-
dox wings attached to his own head
and face. Under this cherubTs head
he took delight in pasting all the
disagreeable clippings he could gath-
er from newspapers and periodicals
regarding any one in the office and
especially about himself. This win-
dow came to be regarded as a regu-
lar bulletin board of spleen, and
many a quiet chuckle Field would
have watching the long faces of his
companions as they read sarcastic
or facetious remarks about them.
Field never cared how much fun
was made of him, and he was the
first to applaud when the laugh was
at his own expense."New York Sun.
He Dodged.
~~Be sure your sin will find you
out,TT said a man who bas a weak-
ness for high bats, which is incon-
sistent with his general mode of
dress. ~At the instance of my wife,
who did not like his styles, I aban-
doned my old hatter not long ago
