The Christmas season is almost upon us and the city is filled with life and beauty now than at any other time of the year. Every shop window is decorated, every shelf acid counter is filled with holiday goods, and every street is crowded with loaded trucks and busy shippers. The displays in s are growing more rate every year until now some of them are equal to first class Such as these are rounded by crowds all day long, and no doubt, they are a means of great revenue to the store-keepers. The little ones are indulging in great expectations, and the of the poor are not to neglected. The Christmas Society has been organized for the pose of providing the poor child- of New York with Christmas presents which will be distributed the Madison Square Garden on Christmas morning. The society is composed of a number of well- off and active people who are great success in their work. The wants of the society are made known the donations received are acknowledged daily in the newspapers. MILES AN HOUR- The Port-electric Company, which has recently been rated under the laws of Virginia, proposes to transmit mail matter between New York and in forty when it gets into operation- They have been experimenting for some time at Dorchester.

Men show their character in nothing more surely than in what they think laughable. Women go further in love than most men do; but men go further in friendship than women. As we truly are only as far as God is with us. so neither can we truly possess is, our being or any other real good but by living in the sense of His holy presence. Opportunity is in respect to time, in some sense, as time is in respect to eternity it is the small moment, the exact point, the minute, on which every good work so much depends. We hear it said sometimes that this is an age of transition, as if that made matters but can anyone point us to an age that was If he could he would show us an age of stagnation. There is something sublime in calm endurance, st sub- lime in the resolute, fixed purpose of suffering without complaining, which makes disappointment of- better than success.

THE REFLECTOR. Greenville, N. C. S. ., Editor mi Proprietor WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER M, Entered at the at Greenville, X. as second-class mail matter. CHRISTMAS. There is no period of the year to which so many people look for- ward, and around which cling so many fond anticipations as the one now so near upon us. As old almost as our centuries Christmas has ever been a welcome occasion to the thousands who have been made glad by the hoary- customs that have clung around it. Since the 5th century mas has been observed all civilized world on the 25th of December- It is very dent that this is not the date of the birth of Christ which ii is observed to celebrate. The people who keep it however lay more stress upon the object of the observance than upon the date. The festivities of this season have always been ed by all nations with unfeigned joy and each has vied with the other in making this the oasis in life's varied path. Many noble customs have, and still hallow it as without a shadow. These have been different but all have had the same object, to happiness, on earth. Good will to It is but proper after the toils of a year of struggle, the separations of twelve long after the weary long nights that we should cease from our toils meet each other again face to face and family with family, leave our cares undisturbed, and think, and be. and do only for each happiness. There is one custom especially peculiar to which de to live as long as time shall last- It is the remembrance of who are poor, who are even to the common comforts of life. Nothing approaches near- the coming of Christ to this world to bring salvation to a sad race than the spirit which prompts those who gladden so joyously the hearts of those who know only the hardships, the toils of Each of us should this aid never let these days pass without being instrumental in adding at least one comfort these desolate lives. The giving of gifts to loved ones and friends also is a special feature now; made prominent in these days. All of us appreciate being loved and the expression of this in these tokens form many green spots in the memory of many a life- This is but in keeping with the Great Gift, the coming of which we now celebrate, the essence of all pure joy in this sin cursed world. Let this feature never grow old but be one of the chimes that swells the chorus of the custom which we hope will never die is the remembrance of children- One of the noblest traits of any life is contributing to tire innocent pleasure of the little dies that live only in our lives Some of the joys that ever enter the human breast during this earthly existence are realized by these little ones as from their innocent, peaceful slumbers on Christmas morning to find that believing them to be good little and girls has placed in their little stockings the little which to are life's sweets without its bitter- No father or mother is fulfilling their high and noble mission who fails to see that their little ones are re- membered by this their ideal of the Great Giver of good to the good. Here too the poor children of poor parents are to be and he who neglects not these will find his own life bright- and as these seasons come and go. To one and to all we say a happy Christmas with the remembrance when it is past that somebody has been made happier, some life brighter by some little act of our own. to SPEAKER CRISP AND MR. MILLS. Speaker Crisp has not as yet announced his committees. It will be a very difficult task to arrange them so as to give satisfaction to the as the Democratic majority is so great and every one expects something- Mr. Mills is said to be behaving very badly- He is sulking and it is not ed that he would accept the chair- of the Ways and Means Committee if it were offered to him. This is only another evidence of the fact that the Democrats made no mistake when they elected Crisp speaker. It is no part of a statesman to act as it is reported Mr. Mills is now doing- It is thought that he will probably re- sign his seat in the House. We are sorry to see such con- duct in the Texan. We had thought better of him. It would not be wise for the Speaker to offer him the position which would make him leader of the House. He might expect that Mr- Mills would not be very active in pushing the of the House. On the other hand he would antagonize the Speaker- He would be sure to do so. if his actions now are properly reported- It is believed now that Mr. Springer will be given the place. He is in perfect harmony with the Speaker upon all relating to legislation and in consequence no friction need be apprehended. Besides it might be better that a Southern man should not appointed to this place since the South has the Speaker. It will be said by a few chronic grumblers that it is but fulfilling the agreement made by Crisp and Springer when he voted for him for Speaker that Springer was to be made chairman of this Commit- tee. Little heed will be paid to this those interested in Messrs. Crisp and Springer are agreed that to get any relief from this Congress there must no effort to pass a general tariff bill but it must be done by amend- to the bill- No bill like the one of Mr. Mills of two years ago could be possibly gotten through the Senate. Many amend- may and will pass both branches of Congress which will afford untold relief to the country by pursuing the course which it is believed has been marked out by these leaders of the Democratic- party. It is to be hoped there will be no division in the House upon Democratic policies. All personal aspirations and pet measures and theories ought to be subordinated to the public good, and the welfare of the party when there is so much at stake- A prudent, conservative well defined, and purely practical course is the one to be pursued by the present House and with prop- leaders to fears but that such it will be.

In following the of the Reflector not to issue a between Christmas and New Year, our readers need not look for any paper next week. We have had a year cf very hard work and feel sure every one will willingly accord us this week. The printers need a little recreation, and the editor needs time to straighten up the work of the year and get everything in readiness for the new year. One week gives none too much time for this, and our work eve i in the holidays will be almost as hard as at any time of the year, so there will be but little net after all. The office will be kept open every day except Fri- day, Christmas, for the transaction of business and we hope many will come in to renew their As this is the last issue of the for 1891 we take to return sincere thanks to every patron of the paper during the year. We feel grateful to all, whether their patronage was great or small. It is our earnest hope that no one has invested a penny with us who does not feel amply repaid for so doing- We have tried to make the paper interesting to the subscribers, and have tried to make it profitable to the and to be favored with the patronage of every one the coming year.

E- Grimsley at Snow Hill, which has caused so much excitement and comment, from the fact that we thought it best not to jump hurriedly into spreading a matter of that kind before the pub- on rumor, but wait until the truth comes to the front The first reports of such occurrences that go out are apt to do some and usually get very much exaggerated. A gentleman from Snow Hill was in our office last week and gave us something of the The first shooting at the house of Mr. Grimsley near Snow Hill. It is said he invited Rev,. out to go hunting with him, that after the hunt requested to go to the home of the formers father near by and bring his wife home, pretending that he must go else- where, but after de- armed and secreted him- self under a bed to watch the re- turn of A and Mrs- He claims that when they entered the room the minister kissed Mrs- Grimsley where upon he sprang from his hiding place and shot in the face with a load of bird shot- He fol- lowed to Snow Hill threatening to kill him, and con- the threats every time he went to town, saying he was going to kill on sight. The second shooting occurred on the streets of Snow Hill- was out for the first time after the former shooting and was on his way to the barber shop. Before Mrs. because of the continued threats against his fife, advised him to put a pistol in his pocket for fear Grimsley might be in town and see him- Sure enough Grimsley was in town, saw him and with curses began firing at him with a pistol, drew a pistol and several shots were passed. The latter was struck in the left cheek the ball passing out back of the head. Grimsley was shot in the thigh. Indignation ran high against Grimsley and even threats of lynching were re sorted to. He disappeared and could not be found when warrants were issued for his arrest Oar informant also said that the of the was in favor of The people believe there was nothing criminal between the min- and Mrs. Grimsley and not even a thought of evil, father expressing himself strongly in this Statements have later appeared in which denies Mrs. Grimsley. Between the two we think the word of decidedly preferable to be- lief over Grimsley- To say that it is all an affair and greatly deplorable is putting it mildly. An board of the M- E- Church is to give the matter an official hearing and we hope innocence will be established. OTHER LOCALS. At The Opera.
