She did not heed the length and luxuriance of the chestnut hair which enveloped her like a veil. In her opinion Emily's hair was far lovelier than her own.

But after a while time dragged very heavily. The small circulating library was exhausted, every bureau and mantle in the house was supplied with worsted mats. The days grew weary again, and Lucille began to question whether she was a better use of her life in than had made in her own home. During this season of doubt a letter came from Emily containing groat news. me, dear so the letter ran, I have bagged my bird.

I expect him here next week. He is wealthy and much sought after, and I have had a terrible time protecting him from the snares set for him by every old maid and young miss in the neighbor- hood. I had one pretty governess, and I firmly made up my mind that I would never have another. There shall be no more running round the garden moon- light evenings and culling buttonhole bouquets.

He was evidently entirely at home, for, hearing a footstep, he looked up, saw Lucille, and rising from his chair come forward, I am sure. I arrived very late last night, and saw my sister but a few moments, yet she found time to tell mo of you and the Maud and Willie bear He did not recognize her Why should he She hod been in full dress at both places where they had met, and her hair had been dressed with flowers and sprinkled with gold dust.

Peter and Sam carried him into tho parlor, and Peter has gone after a hardly waited to hoar all the child said, for at the first intimation she received that Emily's lover had been hurt she started from her seat and to the parlor.

Miss help me in this. I know I can trust yon. I am sure I am not doing a dangerous thing. You are not pretty and sly like that horrid Miss Garfield, and you are tho very one who can read and amuse poor Geoffrey. Promise me you will do Lucille, with a bitter pang at her heart as thought that Mrs. could indeed trust her to pay to Emily's any little attention ho needed. But Mrs. was wrong in think- it not a dangerous thing to throw these two young people so much together. As Geoffrey felt tho touch of the cool, soft hands on his head he learned to ad- mire them. As ho listened to the low, sweet voice, which appeared never to weary when reading aloud to him, he learned to love it. As he saw the different efforts Lucille made each day to interest him and render his con- to one room less dull and irk- some, he learned to worship her. He forgot her plain face, and contrasted hex character only with that of Emily. For ho no longer loved the girl to whom he had bound himself. He had infatuated with her beauty, caught in the coils of her shim- mering golden hair and musical laugh, and he his infatuation to be love.

Oh, what a had tan Emily She raised her and locked at Geoffrey through her tears, so haggard, so wild, that he was startled at tho change in her countenance, and then fled from tho room like a frightened deer.

On Monday Mr. H. F. Keel brought us the measurement of a tobacco plant from his patch that was inches high and inches across. He has several acres that will come nearly up to this plant on an average. All ex-Confederate and widows of Pitt county, who are en- titled to pensions under the act pass ed by the General Assembly, arc notified that they mast file their davits with the Superior Court Clerk on or before the first in So Appropriation. On Monday the Board of by a large majority voted; down a motion to tap marring a county exhibit at the Inter-States in Raleigh next fall. The Board of County Commissioners could any less sum than, this, but the was so largely against it that they will make no This means that if Pitt has any exhibit at the exposition it must be made by private It is left for the citizens to say what they will do, and whether or not there shall be an exhibit. The Reflector would much a like this have no exhibit at such an in Greenville next Soon to be Built. One of the County Commissioners told us Monday that at every meeting the Board lately the subject of building the dam out to high land from the North end of bridge is considered. Sometime ago the Board ordered that the Secretary of State be written for a certified copy of the act passed by the late General As- providing for the building the dam. The copy from has not yet come to hand, but as soon as it does the Board will order the work commenced. The people on the side the river may congratulate themselves that at an early day the dam will be completed and they can ride into town at any time.

G. T. Tyson, of Beaver Dam, la- increasing the taxes so that the dam from the north end of the bridge might be built, that fire proof vaults might be placed in the House for the safe keeping of records and that the county might have an exhibit at the Inter-Slates L. A. Mayo, of Greenville, favored increasing the lax these purposes also for removing the County Home the Aged I In- firm from its present location. He spoke specially upon this and the needs of having a creditable display at the exposition J. J. opposed making any increase in the levy. He commended the Board of Count v Commissioners under whose excel- lent administration had been added to the treasury under the low tax of last year. He had confidence in the Board and believed if they thought the County Home ought to be removed they would remove it. W. II. Moore said he had to pass by the County Home every lime ho came to town. He noticed that the Board had changed the management there and that several improvements had been made. He now hears none of the bad reports that used to be going around about the place. Upon a vote the levy was made same as last year, cents on each valuation. Schedule B taxes was levied same State levy. No county tax was placed upon marriage licenses. The question of the public schools no being kept open the time ed by law was discussed, and County Attorney Blow was asked to hunt up the law on the matter. He said the schools should be kept open four months. It was found Hint the State and county lax together amounted to cents on each which lack-, ed cents of being op to the limit. A motion was that a tax of cents be levied for the public schools. Mooring suggested that the yeas and nays he called on the vote, as there might he some presentments before the Grand Jury and it should go record who voted for against the tax. The yeas and nays were called the levy was nays An election of a Board of was gone into the selection of J. R. Congleton, R. C. Cannon and Fernando Ward. A motion was offered to ate for the purpose of making an exhibit of the resources of Pin county at the Inter-States to he held Raleigh October and November. The motion wan lost by a large vote. In the afternoon there was a meet- of appraisers. An accidental shooting occurred live miles north of Greenville Tues day morning of last week. Mr. Sam Dudley, son of Mr. S. A. Dudley, wanted to clean a and sent a young colored man in the house for it. He took the pistol and ejected all the balls, so he thought, but while snapping it a moment later there was a report and a ball struck the man, passing through his arm under the blade and lodging in the back. Dr. traced the ball and cut it out. It was a narrow escape for the colored man. AMONG THE FARMERS. They Talk About Crops, bat do sot favorable Weather Will a for Bettor. Encouraging news from crops was hard to run up with from any of the farmers who were in town Mon- day. Mr. Whichard. living on the of and Carolina, was the first asked and said that along the road from his house to he had not in years worse Sets. Beyond him out to r. J. Ii. told him. the crops are little better but nothing to brag on. Mr. Fernando Ward said that with him. seven miles below Greenville, crops wort very poor. They have had too much rain and there was heavy fall Sunday afternoon which washed the crops badly. Mr. S. I. Fleming gave about tho same report for section. Crops small with too much rain and too much grass. Mr. J. J. of the prospects, if anything, were even poorer than in 1889. W. S. Wooten, Swift Creek, said that while the crops were small down there they had not suffered very much. There was plenty of grass to kill. Mr. J. T. Worthington, near ton, also said the crops had not a great deal from rain, but the weather for some days had been rather cool for them. He thought that with weather there would be remarkable improvements. Mr. It. L. Joyner, of Farmville, said up that way tobacco was about all that could be bragged on. That crop is fine but cotton is mighty small. Mr. R. R. Cotton, of who is one of the largest farmers in the county and makes tho weather a close study, said there had been by far much rain, gave some figures to show In March the rain fall was in April inches and in inches. He takes daily observations at his farm and promised some interesting points in future. He said that while tobacco was the best crop now, that also would be late be- cause of so much bad weather. Mr. G. T. Tyson, of Beaver Dam, is always in a good humor and line spirits, it matters not which way the wind blows. He thinks the crops will work around all right and want- ed to talk line mules and warehouses. He says, tell you. we are going to have tobacco warehouses the first one won't be long com- There were other sections of the county we wanted to inquire alter but Monday was a busy with us and we could not talk to all we wish- ed. From to the to give these interviews so as to keep its readers informed to the general condition of the crops, and we will be glad for any of our friends to drop in the when they come to town and tell us any- thing of interest. A NARROW ESCAPE. A Whole Thrown Into Postmaster Shot From On Monday night of last week about o'clock the village of Grimes land was thrown the greatest excitement it ever experienced. Mr. W. G. Stokes, of this place, while from his sup- per, was shot by some one who was concealed the near where he come into the road. He was by one glancing shot which did not cause any serious wound. Three shot passed through his shirt and five through his vest. There were traces of four shot on a small oak on the opposite, side of the road. After the gun fired be asked who it was that had him and villain ran off. Mr. Stokes had n gun in his hand which be was carry- to the store and tried to re- turn the shot but was prevented by the bushes. Thursday morning there were slops taken to find out who it was. The place was examined and a track was found which was made by a run-down shoe. Ed. Teller, a colored boy, was suspicion- ed and a warrant was taken out be- fore J J. Esq., Constable Buck with help made the arrest. A shoe was found under the boy's father's house which fitted the track. He was brought to trial and evidence was such that lie was bound over to court.

It takes a good deal more neatness to make a girl look well than it does to make a hoy look passable. Not because a boy, to start with, is better looking than a hut bis clothes arc of a different sort, not so many colors in them; and people don't expect a boy to look as pretty a girl. A girl that not neatly dressed is called a sloven, and no one likes to look at Her face may be pretty, and her eyes bright, but if there is a spot en her cheek, and finger ends are black with ink, and her shoes arc laced up, and her apron is dirty, and her collar is not hut- toned, and her skirt is lorn, she can- not be liked.
