ANOTHER PITT BOY WRITES.

VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY, )
NASHVILLE, TENN. March 4th. j
Epiror Rerrector :"For
time I have been thinking of writing a
short letter to the Reriectror, but I

some

reasons. This evening, however, while
I am alone in my study, too weak to be
engaged closely with my duties on ac

count of the recent attack of sickness
from which I am just recovering, and
while the cold rains without assist in
myT longer consignment to the hallowed
confines of my sacred room,! will amu s�,�
myself for awhile by writing. I have.
often thought pleasantly of our little
city, but I had not realized bow much
I loved it until I read an account of the
sad mistortune that recently befell it.
It was indeed sad. Butlet us us not
grieve too long over the misfortunes of
the past. ' The past is gone, the present
is ours, and the future is before us,
We hold the magic keys that unlock
the future and reveal to us all the
possibilities that she has in store for us.
Let us not try to retrieve the past by
lamenting ~one loss, but by moving for-
ward in greater strides along those lines
hitherto neglected. Greenville has
made rapid progress during the past
few years but she has left undone some
very necessary things. Among these
is a good water supply. A fire engine
with no water is of little assistance to a
town in time of fire.

I congratulate the town in its suc-
cessful: attempt in securing electric
lights. This has been much needed
for some time, but something needed
much more is the erection of factories.
No town is complete without them. A

at last realizing this truth and begin-
ning to build them. Why does Green-
yille not share the profits ; and while a
few energetic men are laboring 80
faithfully in the tobacco interest ot the
town, why does uot some one embrace
the fleeting opportunity and at this, the
most opportune time, endue the town
with new life by setting a laudable ex-
ample ?

But I began this letter for my own
amusement and not for the townTs in-
junction. I intended " telling you
something of interest at and about
Nashville, but I have been drawn away
to u spot possessing far more interest
for me and have allowed myself to dwell
upon things concerning my native town.
But I hope that in the near future the
desire of the writer may be realized and
the hum of factories may be heard in
our town ; then will this letter not liave
been written in vain.

ANOTHER UVONFLAGATION.

A Barn and Store burned at ParkerTs

X Roads"Incendiary Ongin
Supposed.

About 10 oTclock on Monday night
a bright light was seen in a northern
direction from Greenville and upon
investigation it proved to be at Par-
kerTs X Roads, about two miles from
town. From parties who went over
there the following: A
gmall light was discovered in an old
barn back of a vacant store on the
northeast corner and in afew minutes

we learn

it was in a light blaze, soon commnica-
ting with the store and burning both
to the ground. ~The store on the op-
posite side of the road occupied by
B. F. Anderson, was in imminent dan-
ger, aud all the goods were removed ,
but by strenuous efforts the house was
saved. The orizin of the fire is not
known but it is thought the torch was
applied by some miscreant. ~The barn
and store belonged to the Fleming es-
tate. We could not learn whether
there was any insurance or not. W.
S. Fleming had a lot of corn and fodder
stored in the barn and it was entirely
consumed, Loss about $500.

Never Had a Better Teacher.

Miss Annie Perkins, who for two
months taught a public school near
Dongola, in Farmville township, came
home Friday and returned Sunday to
tuke chiurge of a private school. We

Perkins. So well pleased were they

om,

Awhite man named Lew Palmer
attempted the ruin of little six year old
girl in Salisbury. The cries of the girl
attracted her father to her rescue just
in time to save her. The man was
promptly arrested and placed in jail.
When arraigned for trial next day he
said he was drunk and did not know
what he was doing, but under examina-
tion he made very contradictory stute-
ments.
such a crime on a six-year-old child is too
black-hearted a villian to be allowed to

go at large.

Making Heroes of Criminals.

When Brown and Satterfield were
convicted in Wake Superior Court,
some fusionist immediately proposed
that these convicted men be nominated
and elected to an important position in
order to show that a small thing like
conviction by a jury had no other ef-
fect than to make the convicted par-
ties more popular.

A few days betore the last election,
in a row caused by his attempt to
brewbeat a Democrat registrar, a man
by the name of Wilcox shot and killed
the registrar. He was convicted and
sentenced to the penitentiary for fifteen
years, An appeal was taken to the
Supreme Court, and a new trial was

granted. Judge Russel ° appeared for
Wilcox and when he heard from the
»Supreme Court, he telegraphed to
Elizabeth City ; oCourt with us. Tell
Wiicox he is my man for Governor. I
want to make the nomination speech.�

Went Courting When He Was 123 and
Got the Mitten. ®

Two remarkable cases of longevity

were recalled recently by a conversa-

tion between several gentlemen in this.

of Rev. George McCall, the veteran
Baptist preacher, when it was authen-
tically stated that Mr. McCallTs great-
grandfather lived to the ripe old age
of 127 years. He was a bachelor at 100
and took a notion to get married. He
carried out this idea and was married.
Three sons were born to him, and he
lived to see the oldest son old enougk
to vote.

This was considered remarkable, but:
a gentleman in the crowd, whose char-
acter and standing religiously and so-
cially are above reproach, told an au.
thentic account of the life of his great-
uncle, who was one. of GeorgiaTs pio-
neer citizen. This old gentleman lived
to be 130 years old. He lived in a log
cabin, in the northern end of which was
cut a square hole. Theold man turned
the head of this bed to that hole, and
slept that way in-the warmest and cold-
est of w eather. His wife died when he
was about 90 years old, and for many
years he lived as a widower. At theage
of 115 he cut an entirely new set of
teeth, and at the age of 123 one morn-
ing he saddled his own horse, sprang
into the saddle, and rode 30 miles to
address a widow and ask her to be.his
wife. Ife evidently was rejected, for
he rode back that day'and lived seven
years longer."Shelbyville Gazette.

Dear Stn:"I am pleased to say that the Vic-
tor Safe you sold me some five or six years ago
preserved in fact ali its contents in the late fire
iu Greenvilleon the 16th inst. The safe stood '
ata point in my effice in the Opera House
block that must have been cne of the hcttest
parts in the great conflagration. It contained
many papers and otter things of valae. When
it was taken out ofthe ruins and. opened, some:
twelve bours after the fire, everything in it was
found to be sately preserved and in good con-'
dition I chee:fully make this statement of
facts in recognition of the valuable service ren-
dered me by this safe and you are at liberty to
make such use of it as you may sea proper.

In the northern part of the town of
Napoli, Cattaraugus county, there is
what is known in that vicimity as a
obottomless pond.� It is situated in a
{amarack swamp in that part of; the
town called Owlenburg, and for many
years it has created great local inter-

the peculiarity of its location and the
dharacter of the land surrounding it.

In approaching the pond one feels
the ground springing beneath the feet
even at a considerable distance away,
and when standing on its bank the
ground feels so unstable that a personTs
inclination is to quickly turn back and
seek more solid ground. It is appar-
ent that the pond was at one time much
larger than at present and that it has
been slowly growing over, in fact a
perceptible change can be seen in its
size from year to year. It is certain

have been made to ascertain the depth
of the pond, but without success: Long
lines with weights have been lowered,
but the. bottom has-never ~been found,
and its depth remains unfathomed.
And from these unsuccessful efforts to
find the ~bottom it'has received ~the
