Their back yard, x feet, is said to be the largest piece or unoccupied ground In tho tenth ward. It is covered with sand and fitted up with swings, which children arc lowed to enjoy, each in turn one hour. There is such eagerness among these little ones for a place to that every Saturday they sit for two or three hours on the front stoop awaiting their turn. This is the only play ground that great neighborhood, and the is made that the city should extend the idea, and, if necessary tear down a whole block of houses in order to furnish the children a suitable play A AFFLICTION.

A weeks ago there in columns an article at ten i ton to a request from Dr. John A.

Not for the purpose or reviving old animosities or keeping alive sectional bate, but only that tho South may be in the eyes of the world. Ever since the war the South has been sitting passively by, allowing Northern writers and Northern ma- to make her history for her, and what is the result We have been held up to the execration of mankind as the most barbarous of barbarians, treating Northern prisoners like dogs and shooting them down in cold blood upon the slightest provocation. Libby prison has been transported to and erected in Chicago as a monument to South- cruelty, while the falsehoods have grown as they have been, tune and lime again, reiterated by the Northern press, Northern stump and Northern Congress- men. Yet it is a matter or fact that the South treated prisoners of war with more consideration than her prisoners received, notwithstanding she was unable even to take proper care of her own soldiers righting in the field to defend her against her invaders. And more than this, responsibility for the death suffering nearly every prisoner a Libby and elsewhere can be traced direct- to the n of Lincoln, Grant, Si-ward and Sherman, who, despite the appeals or Confederate refused an exchange. This is his- it is a damning that poor was most unjustly hung murdered for the crimes of Northern authorities. The South cannot afford longer to silently suffer- being or to have her history writ- ten by her enemies. She must as- herself for her own protection, and in order that the oft-repeated calumnies of her barbarity may be silenced forever. t is necessary, therefore, that the survivors of the horrors of Northern prisons follow the example of Captain and let it be known what they had to undergo at the hands of a Gov- which bad ports of the world open to it, and was able to show them at least common humanity.

Tho following from the New York is those signs which come from the Northern press that South is no longer undervalued; in fact, that is being estimated at a very high value. Tho error of the North was that Southern people would not work; they were too lazy to work; they were too proud to work, fitted to enjoy only the ii of slave labor, and when slavery was extinguished then what there was of Southern energy would collapse. Therefore the amazement of the North is proportioned to its misconception.

The bright surface of the solar globe scams to have been torn and broken through in a wonderful manner.

The Reflector has not had time to closely examine the list since it came but may give some interesting about it next week. Tho At meeting of the tobacco ware- house directors last Saturday the Greenville Land Improvement Co. tendered them a half acre lot situated on Ninth street upon which to erect the warehouse. It was accepted and the company will purchase another adjoining lot the same size so as to give them all the room desired. The directors employed Mr. R. J. Cobb to take the matter in. hand, collect the already subscribed, increase the stock as occasion may demand, make contracts for the necessary lumber and get the building started as early as possible.

The windows were made by Wm. A. at his art glass works In Vs., whose reputation for beautiful work in this line is second to no one in out country. This window is made in two sections according to the plan of church The design upon each section is strikingly beautiful and impressive, and so fitly in keeping with what it represents. One of them contains a painting of the Savior blessing little children, under which is the inscription, little children to come unto On the other is an equally beautiful picture of the Good Shepherd with a flock and a sheep-fold in the back ground, and this the inscription, My There is also upon the windows, by the Infant The whole shows exquisite beauty in design and perfectness in workmanship.

He has sent windows to various parts of Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia and other States, they will stand comparison with any northern work that can be placed beside them. Now a word about the donors of this window and how they managed to secure it. The Infant of the Baptist Sunday School was or- nine years ago by Mrs. M. M. Nelson and has long been the pride of the school and church. It was organized with five little boys girls, and the teacher added to the number by asking any little children she saw who did not attend if they would not like to go to Sunday School and join her class. In a few months the number had reached teen and continued to grow until it reached forty, that number now being in her class. In the nine years one hundred and fifty different children have been taught her. In May of last year She formed the happy idea of Paving her class present a memo- rial window to the church. When mentioned to them the little were eager to engage in such an and she apportioned out the amount of work she wanted each one to do, telling them to make all their money If possible for them to do so. They set to work, some selling flowers, some attending to poultry, some running errands and doing little bits of work that a child can do, and in no great lime they had brought together the amount required for the window. The was purchased some months ago, but a combination circumstances prevented its being placed in position until recently. Not only the church in it i-t placed, but the community as well owe a debt gratitude to Mrs. Nelson and the members of her class, as what they have done is an the town as much as to the building in which the window is placed.

He did not. even dare to inquire-after Anne or when she was coming home, for all his questions were met with but frigid discouragement. He see that Mrs. suffered silently, but tho loss of her interest money, the of the worries of poor help were sufficient to account for her low spirits. Only Miss Carver in the changed of affairs. She now firmly believed the doctor was a thief, and that tho Bis- sells had found out, and for some reason were hushing matters up; was willing to in scientific conversation even with a man of his suspicions character, now that had the field all to herself, and Anne's beauty was no longer beaming on the opposite side of the table. In spite of her belief in his turpitude she was half disposed to go over to the little pill theory, for tho doctor was very generous in his medical opinions ho gave gratis on her pet diseases.

She was more and more polite and formal and and it occurred to her that he would soon be looking out for a fashion- able boarding place, where the climate was more salubrious, for the spread of scarlet fever in Hollow had given him plenty of hard work, and it was no uncommon thing to have the d. bell broken twice a week by the in- of night messengers. One evening she was sitting in her own room with a great pile of stockings be- fore her, fresh from the wash and await- the darning needle, when the doctor burst in without stopping to knock.

A That Produced a In Boston Society. The colored this city have learned that it is possible to take the kink out of their-hair, and there Is quite the discovery. The rush to have crisp locks straight- is becoming general, alt hough but few of those who have been smoothed out are-willing to admit that hair was ever otherwise than straight and glossy. The fad as yet has not reached the male sex, and at the Sunday evening meeting of the church one of tho deacons warned the sisters against their sinful pride in at- tempting, to improve on the Lord's handiwork.

She says her own hair was formerly crisp and kinky, but that an old Canadian woman told her how to make it straight, and this information she is now Imparting for a The customer is told first to wash her hair and come with It well dried.

The operation takes about four hours and is permanent in its effects.
