As the excursion steamer pulled
out of the dock there was a

Friday night. We bear that about live

county We hear of damage.
Too Low.
The price of potatoes continues too low
to pay for shipping them and many of
the farmers are letting their crop remain
in the ground. The crop this season is
unusually large and several times the
markets became glutted. An early ad-
would cause
planters.

were received from Mr. J. It.

20th and two white that opened on the
47th. Monday evening's mail brought us
a red blossom from M lies Grimes, a ten-
ant oil Avon This
from cotton planted the 25th of April.
Mr. B. J. of Falkland, sent in a
blossom yesterday.
Better schedule Needed.
The Reflector hopes the
ton A authorities will see the
wisdom of putting on a schedule to make
connection at Kinston with the A. ii. N.
C. so that people from Greenville and
elsewhere along this branch of their road
go through to Morehead City the
same day of leaving home without having
to lay over hours in Kinston as now.
Such a schedule could be effected by
changing the time of the freight train
going south about one hour. Besides
being a great convenience to our people
such a schedule would increase the travel
over this road.
Female School.
Attention is the advertisement
of the Female School to be opened in
Greenville August 20th, by Mrs. V. L.
Pendleton. This community is to be
congratulated upon the coming of so ex-
a lady into it. Mrs. Pendleton Is
one of the finest female in the
State and her work has always been
for its thoroughness and
She bears the highest testimonials
and the Reflector feels that nothing it
could say will add to We
bespeak for bar a liberal patronage.
Parents having daughters to educate
should avail themselves of the
ties offered in her school.
Old Letter.
The other day Mr. Allen Warren
showed OS a very old letter. It was writ,
October 28th, from Parish of
Assumption. La., to a gentleman tit Tin-
N Roads, Bertie Co., N. C. No
or stamps were used in that
day. The letter was held together by
the folds being pushed into each other,
and was written on the upper right
hand corner, indicating that that amount
should paid by the person to whom
the letter was delivered. The writing
Was wonderfully well preserved, had not
failed at all. and looked as fresh as if it
been recently written instead of
more than half a century ago.
Colored Institute.
County Superintendent Harding is this
week conduct lug in the Court House an
Institute for the colored public school
teachers of county. The enrollment
at Monday's session reached and
several others were expected to come in.
They are having an interesting session,
the colored teachers are showing
their progress in educational matters.
The Reflector is glad to see them ad-
Besides Hie exercises conduct-
ed each morning and afternoon by Maj.
Harding, the teachers themselves have
an entertainment at night, giving a good
program of speeches, recitations, etc
Last night Gov. made a speech for
them, and they will have by
other gentlemen during the week.

Base
It was jolly.
For sometime previous, or sometime
since, there had been talked amid the
small boys and the large boys that a
nine were going to play the Green-
ville base ball club. So on last Thursday
it came Now there is no

in the presence of a large audience the

as Master of Ceremonies.
At the conclusion of the installation
Mr. Zeno Moore handsomely introduced
Judge Walter Clark of Raleigh, the orator
of the occasion. Judge Clark spoke little
more than half an hour, being a
splendid and interesting one. In giving
some historical points as to the oldest
lodge in North Carolina, he said that

down as it is on record that lodge
existed in Pitt county as far back as 1757.

the one at Wilmington.
After the speaking the Masons, their
families and invited guests went to the
Academy grove where a sumptuous din-

dinner we ever saw, and that is saying
much for it. There was an abundance
of everything and plenty to spare, and
It was served elegantly. Besides the
bountiful dinner, there were ample re-

of soaping geysers was accidentally

in the Upper Geyser basin in the
summer of 1885.
One day he threw some soap Into

an eruption resembling that of a true
geyser. Tourists who had long

Mr. Henry M. tho English
