A CITIZEN GIVES HIS VIEWS.

Epiror Rerircror:"The call
of Mayor Forbes upon the citizens of
the town to meet at the Court House
to-night is of much importance, and it
is to be hoped and expected that the
citizenship of the town will give to this
opportunity such gravity as it is en titled
to. That something is to be done is
too evident to be discussed, or longer
delayed. The rates of insurance in ex-
cess ot what would be was the town
provided with a sate guarantee from
fire, will do much and go a long way
towards fitting the town for an emer-
gency. oHe, who delays is lost, and
he who duubts is dammed,� is a trite
saying. |

Above all things, the town should
be guarded against fire. Regardless
of political advantage, every one is in-
terested. Lay aside the slightest idea
of politics and all co-operate for the
same good cause. Let the Councilmen
feel they have the support and en-
dorsement of the people and let a com-
mittee of the very best and most pro-
gressive citizens be appointed to for-
mulate a plan and report to a nadjourned
meeting to be held in the Court House
at the very earliest period practically
and then endorse the action of the com-
mittee or divine some better plan, and
let the Mayor and Councilmen feel
and know they have the hearty sup-
port and approval of the people. Let
this committee be composed of the very
best citizens regardless of politics o°
other considerations. The fire fiend is
no respector of persons.

Let the work be done at once. The
town ~can ibe (practically. dafei at no
| great ~ebst, insizdificant at least tv the
severe losses by :tli¢ date� fire. ~Trobe
who witnessed. the :recentT ~fire ~cannot
fail to feel the importance, ~and when
the plan is adopted let» there _ be 10
croaking, for that is what has kept | us
{rom having a better outfit in the past.

The common interest of any person
demands action, not so many words.
Sach men as R.J, Cobb, E. A. Moye.
Q, L. Joyner, S. T. White, W. H:
Long, John Flanagan, J. G. Moye, Os-
car Hooker, S. M. Schultz and Sheriff
King would constitute a committee to
act without fear of croaking ~criticisms
and would inspire confidence and ap-
proval. : Citizen.

The Charlotte Observer says some-
thing'very peculiar has happened to
Mr. S. W. Knox, who lives near Hun-
tersville. Three years ago on Febru-

. {ary 14th he had a family. reunion and
dining, and was well and happy a8 any:

HE WILL NOT ACCEPT THE BELT.

Fitzsimmons Says He Will Complete-

ly Ignore Corbett.
An Associated Press reporter had a
talk with Fitzsimmons about the Cor
bett challenge on the way from the
battleground last week and this is what
he had to say about it:
oJ shall completely ignore that tel-
low Corbett. It was a thousand dol
lars of American money to one cent,
Mexican coin, that ~Pomp JimT would
get in his oar just as he has. shall
use about the same argument once em-
ployed by Charlie Mitchell"tell him to
go get reputation. Let- him go and
whip Peter Maher and Joe Choyinski
before he opens his head to me. Both
men wanted to fight him and I think
either one of them can lick him. This
much I shall insist upon. He must
first win from Maher and Choyinski
before he gets into a ring with me.
oJ whipped with ease the man Cor-
bett presented the championship belt
to in order to escape a match with him.
~To show Corbett how little weight his
championship presented carried, 1 now
formally, through the Associated Press,
renounce all claim to the belt and re-
tuse to-acceptit. J am going to Madi-
son Spuare Garden with a half dozen
contracts I made conuitionally on win-
ning from Maher, and then, with Ju
lian, Stenzler, Roeber and my family, I
sail for Eng\and.�

Manslaughter.

Robert Moore, the young white man
who was charged with the murder of
Samuel James at Scotland Neck two
weeks ago, was tried at Halifax last
Friday and submitted to manslaughter
and was sentenced to four years in the
penitentiary.

TWO PAPERS FOR $1.50.

This Chance Does Not Come Every
Day.

The RerLector has just made ar-
rangemeits with the North Carolinian,

both papers, weekly, a whole year for
$1.50.

Our readers are well acquainted with
both these papers. No paper ever
published inT Pitt; county contained as
much news. as is now found every
week in THe Eastern Reviebtor,
while the North Carolinian ranks as
the best weekly paper in the State.

- GREENVILLE, N. C., Feb. 26th, 1896. i
J. L. SUGG, Agent Victor Safe Co., :
, Greenville, N, C.

Dear Stz:"I am. pleased to say that the Vic-
tor Safe vou sold me some five or six years ago
preserved in tact all its contents in the late fire
in Greenville on the 16th jnst. The safe stood
ata point in my office in the Opera Honse
block that must have. been cone of the hottest
parts in the great conflagration. It contained
many papers and other things of value. When :
it was,takon out of the ruins and opened, some :
twelve hours after the fire, everything in it was� :
found to be sately preserved and in good con- :
dition I cheerfully make this statement of
facts in recognition of the valuable service ren-

Alered me by this safe and you are at liberty to
make such use of it ae you may sea proper.
