They were a middle-aged man and a lady, young and very pretty. The gentleman, clean- clothed entirely in black, had a very correct air and a very severe countenance; the lady in a gray dress and straw trimmed with blue ribbons, was plump, and very lively. They carried a fishing-rod, and the husband made his wife sit down while he adjusted the rod and arranged the bait.

At each lucky pull at the line, the little lad- laughed like a child, clapped her hands, turned toward her husband, gravely seemed very happy in his wife's joy, and thanked mo with a ceremonious politeness. At last the afternoon waned. About o'clock we stopped fish- and was about to leave of my companions, when the young woman ran to her husband and whispered to him. He listened with a thoughtful air, evidently a startled. After a moment I saw them coming toward me, but it was the lady who said to you have been kind to us, that we can- not leave you in this way.

The dough weighed stone, while the toes which found a temporary rest- place within it represented the goodly weight of stone. It was baked in a specially oven for four and a half ours, under the superintendence of a of matrons. It was then placed on a trolley and drawn by- two horses through the streets to a field, where it was cut into segments and formed the meal of many a hungry man and woman.

When one becomes chilled, or takes cold, the mouths of myriads of little sweat glands are suddenly closed, and the impurities which should pass off through the skin forced back at the interior of the body, vitiating tho blood and putting extra work on the lungs and other internal organs. Just beneath the surface of the skin, all over the body, there is a network of minute blood vessels, finer than the finest lace. When one is chilled, the blood is forced from these capillary vessels into one or more of the internal organs, pro- inflammation or and thus often causing dangerous to life. The time to treat a cold is at the earliest possible moment after you have taken it And your prime object should be to restore the perspiration and the capillary circulation. As soon, then, as you feel that you have taken cold have a good fire in your bedroom. Put your feet into hot water, as hot as can be borne, and containing a tablespoonful of mustard. Have it in a vessel so deep that the water will come up well toward the knees. Throw a blanket ever the whole to prevent rapid evaporation and cooling. In from five to min- take the feet out, wipe them dry, and get into a bed on which there are two extra blankets. Just before or after getting into bed drink a large glass of lemonade. as hot as possible, or a glass of hot water containing a teaspoonful of cream tartar, with a little sugar, if desired. Should there be a pain in the chest, side or back, indicating pleurisy or pneumonia, dip a small towel in cold water and wring it as dry as possible. Fold fowl so that it will cover a more surface than is affected by the pain. Cover this with a piece of flannel, and both with oiled silk, or better, with oiled linen; now wind a strip of flannel a foot wide several times around the chest The heat of tho body will warm the almost immediately, the oiled linen and flannel will retain tho heat and moisture, and steaming the part will generally cause the pain to disappear. Should there be pain or soreness in the throat, you should treat in a similar manner with wet compress and flannel bandage Eat spar- of plain, simple food. Baked apples and other fruit, bread and butter, bread and milk, mild toast, baked potatoes or raw oysters may be eaten. By following the directions intelligently and faith- fully you will ordinarily check the progress of tho cold, and prevent serious, possibly fatal, change.

Be sure that babies suffer quite as much as their elders from charioteers. It is perfectly easy to guide a child's cab over a gutter without a jar, but it is done by a servant, and often not by mothers themselves.

The Governors of the Southern States held a meeting in Richmond last week. Governor of Arkansas was elected chairman of the meeting. The discussion of various questions was timely and cannot fail to result in much good to the South- The suggestion for this meeting was a wise one and the meeting was a success in the broadest of the word. Our own Governor Carr was a figure in the body and North Carolina with credit to himself and honor to the whole State. Should the suggestions made by the body be successfully put in operation incalculable good will result to every State that was represented in the body- who was tried in North- last week for murder, was acquitted. The accused was by as able counsel as North Carolina can produce, among whom was Senator Ransom. There was much surprise at the verdict. How much better it would be the State if those who are guilty of crime were pun- There are plenty of people who would like to prevent ministers of the gospel from preaching and morality. There are also plenty of people who would like to choke the press Sun. Just give those people their way, silence the from the pulpit and press, remove from our nation the influence they exert, and in a few short years enlightened Amer- would present a worse scene of heathenism than can found in the wilds of Africa. Senator put a different phase upon the resolution of the Republicans in the United States Senate by coming forward and de- an investigation cf the charges made against him. They had not expected this and were trying to make political capital by pretending to want to investigate. There are too many fellows on their side of the chamber whose characters need a little light turn- ed on for them to favor The Democrats might do well to agree to a general commit- tee of this kind as the result would be that there would several seats on the Republican side vacant.

Judging from ac- counts in our exchanges re ports from many of these meetings show that instead of in the interest of the Alliance -and the farmer, they were simply for de- the last Legislature passing resolutions calculated to stir up further political strife. It seems that this is not the case so far as Pitt county is concerned. After the meeting here was over we asked one of the most members of the Alliance, a man who is a through Democrat and whose integrity can always be relied upon, if anything of general interest that he could make public- bad transpired, or if the Third element tried to take charge and run the meeting in the inter- est of that party.

If the Alliance will follow out this line it can yet prove a blessing to the farmer. The tendency of the times seems to drift more and more toward mixing the and the world up together, and no wonder that there are those who think and say the world is as good as the church. The church festivals are losing much of their sacredness and significance because of the with which they are held. A few Sundays ago the churches of our land were holding Easter services commemorative of a risen and ascended Savior of the world, and since then there have been numerous accounts in the papers of Easter Card and goodness knowns what else that the world tries to make popular and table by prefixing the name of this sacred church festival. Strange it is. too, that there are so many church members who lend their influence to the prostitution of these sacred names. They go into the sanctuary one day to worship the Christ in an Easter service, and next day participate with the world in an Let the world have its balls, its card parties, and all such if it will, but for religion's sake keep the name of Savior and the set apart to His memory out of them, if the churches gave less countenance to these things they would lose much of their popularity. public sentiment on this on other subjects. Tho secular do it for it alone reaches the class of among whom tie sentiment it to be made. The re press can make and serve the sentiment among the religious classes reached by it and no more. God speed tho day when every Christian man that the editorial chair of a newspaper will as you have done, aloud and spare against tho wide spread of by the Sunday newspaper. Fearful is the responsibility of that man who yields the of tho which he controls to aid in build up public sentiment contrary to God's just and holy the observance of which are profitable to. all men, physically, mentally and materially, as well as spiritually.

The last legislature passed a bill making 12th of Feb- a public school holiday for tree planting. That is, we sup- pose as far as the act contemplates going. The State at large needs such a day for planting trees in all the towns and villages, in all the homes, and upon all tho waste places of farms.

THE REFLECTOR. Reflections. BEAUTIFUL BUILDING LOTS. Desirable Location for Home Seekers. On the south- western border of Green- ville and lying just the College grounds is a beautiful tract of land that is about to be placed the market for residence lots. This tract of land, containing acres. Is what was known as the Marcellus Moore farm until it came in possession of the Brothers in January, 1802. These enterprising young men have decided to lay this property off in lots offer them for sale. Be- cause of its nearness to the College they haw given their property the name of College City. Just opposite and running on a line with the last street through the property laid off by the Greenville Land Company, a feet wide and yards long has been opened through this new property. Other streets arc to be opened and the lots formed in regular blocks. It is well-known that to the extension and building up of towns the tendency is more or less toward or around the depot, and when it is considered that this College City property lies only about a quarter of a mile from the depot it becomes all the more desirable and valuable. A a suitable place for residence it is not to be It is the highest elevation anywhere around Greenville and is far above the main of the town. Excellent water can be obtained on any pat of the property, a vein running all through it. The property is only a few minutes walk from the Court House and business portion of the town and being just out- side of the corporate limits is free from town taxes. All these things are worthy the consideration of home seekers. Persons wishing to purchase any of these lots for immediate improvement can get at a very low figure. The if the lot- will be of at less than their value, and thus an i- to get a home at very About fifty lots will be soon at public auction, notice of which will be given later. Those desiring to secure a lot at private sale can do so.

A lot in College City will give con- location, high elevation, pure air and water, things that cannot be in selecting a site for a home.

Sawed to Death. A colored man working at a lumber mill out in Beaver Dam township, was literally cut to death by the saw some days ago. In attempting to step over a log while it was in motion his foot be- came entangled and he was thrown on the saw In such a position that his leg was cut in two at the ankle and thigh, his arm cut and cuts also received about the body and head. The man was placed in a cart and started to his home in Greene county, but bled to death in a very short while. Look at this Reasonably. If Greenville had a good hotel building other needed improvements could be more easily secured. Persons who come here to prospect would not get a good impression of the town from the hotels we have. They are the places in which a stranger first takes an observation when going into a town, and the first ions received arc hard to shake off or counteract. There is no complaint at the way the hotels we have are kept, but Greenville ought to have one in keeping with the business of the town and that a stranger could look at and feel like the town had something in it. Chicago Hotels. Mrs. W. B. Phipps, of Chicago, who once lived in Greenville and is by some of our people, will have the management of two hotels in go during the World's Fair. Both hotels arc brick, contain only rooms and ax, located conveniently to the fair and parks and within ten minutes of the heart of the city. These buildings offer a decided ad- vantage over the dangerous frame build- of to rooms that have been constructed hurriedly just for use during the fair, and from which escape during a fire or storm would be almost impossible. information desired concerning the hotels over which Mrs. Phipps will have management can be obtained by writing to Capt. W. B. Phipps, Archer Chicago. Cotton Seed and Fertilizers. Some argue, and the commission mer- chants especially are taking this view of it, that the heavy sales of fertilizer this season indicates a corresponding increase in the cotton acreage. While we fear that the farmers will increase their cot- ton acreage this season, the increased quantity of fertilizers they have ed cannot be taken an Indication that they will do so. The heavy sales Is accounted for by the fact that the farmers during the past season sold all their cotton seed, which In former years they hare been using as a fertilizer, and now they have had to boy something else to put on the land In of the seed. We believe It would have resulted more profitably to the farmers to have saved their seed and pot them upon their land than to tell them and attempt to supply e place with a Married. residence of the bride's mother Mrs. Elizabeth Hooker, in Greenville, on Wednesday afternoon 12th at o'clock, Miss Louisa Hooker and Mr. W. were married, the ceremony being performed by Rev. G. F. Smith. The A Startling Peat. The largest crowd seen In Greenville for sometime was here last Thursday to witness the ascension and para- chute leap by Miss Nellie By one o'clock the crowd began gathering about the vacant lot in front of the foundry, from which point the ascension was to be made at four o'clock. Before that hour it commenced raining, but this did not interfere with the A few minutes to four all was in readiness and the great air ship leaped up from the earth the lady behind it. The ascent was very rapid, and before the throng could hardly realize it a signal was given and the parachute cut loose from the balloon. The next moment the lady dropped for some distance almost like a cannon ball when the parachute unfolded and made the descent more gradual. Still the heavy atmosphere made it very rapid and the spectators had fears for the reaching the earth in safety. The whole performance consumed but little more than a minute's time. It was a daring feat, but too perilous to afford enjoyment. Alumni Association. The of Wake Forest College residing in this county met here on last Saturday and organized a Alum- composed of the follow- members Rev. J. II. J. L. Fleming, W. H. Dr. W. II. Bagwell, Dr. D. L.

James. After some discussion as to the objects and the results to be attained by the body the meeting adjourned to meet on Saturday, May 13th. The College may expect good results from this Association. It is composed of progressive, energetic men who arc an honor to any institution. Long may the College live to do work. Drowned Herself, We learned last Wednesday of the Mrs. Jane Falkland township, which occurred a few days be- fore. She told her husband the morning of the sad tragedy that she was going to the home of a friend to spend the day. He advised her against going left her at homo when he went off to his work. He went back home later and finding that she was not there began search for her. From inquiries he ascertained the in which she went, and following on found she had gone towards Mayo's pond. He hurried hoping to overtake her but arriving at the mill found h r body lying In the water. On the bridge were some articles that she had placed there before throwing herself into the water. The distance from her home to the mill was about three miles, but the way she went to get there covered about six miles. Mrs. Edwards was mo.-c than years old and left a husband and grown children. It Is supposed that her mind being impaired led to her her life. For some days she had at times talked and acted strangely, and had more than once spoken of an intention to drown herself.

It will present a and traded on time and in the fall very good show from plank road view and very much improve the looks of the tobacco quarters. Mr. is a hustler and the Greenville market is feeling his influence. We need only a few- more such men and Greenville will assert her independence as a to- market- Mr. G. E- Moore from near in Greene county, was at the Eastern last Thursday with a two thousand pound load which was pulled by two horses twenty miles. Mr. Moore lives about twenty miles from Greenville and about from Wilson and he has sold most of his crop in Greenville. Still there are others who live nearer Greenville that sell their tobacco in Wilson. They soon learn however that this is the best place to sell after all. We heard it rumored on the streets a few days ago that two more prize houses would soon be started up in Greenville. If such is the case we hope it why on earth don't you let know who it is that is going to do the building. We would never know when to stop the magnanimity of your great big soul and commending you to the world for the extent of your public Do let us know it.

Ho says that if the of is extended over Eastern Carolina and ed it is only a question of time be- fore the time trade business will be at an end. If we understand the meaning of this remark it con more encouragement for the farmers than anything else this man could have said. Kill the time trade business break the neck of the mortgage system, the vilest curse to both farmer and mer. chant and the most unsatisfactory way of transacting business to all parties concerned that there has ever been allowed by the laws of the State. About three hundred years ago when the wandering savage with his battle and scalping knife roamed over what is to-day our vast agricultural fields and thriving busy cities, Sir Walter Raleigh landed at Roanoke Island and in the name of the English Queen took possession of all the vast j lying to the west as far as The cotton mills declared a Mississippi river which was of thirty per cent, last year.

The letter speaks for itself and we want you to read it think about, ponder over it, and give this man the encouragement needed and we will soon have a factory here- Winton, N. C, April 10th Mb. Chas. Skinner, Greenville, N. G My Dear am informed that your people had commenced the culture of tobacco around your town and that Mr. O. L Joyner and Col. Sugg were enter- prising business gentlemen and that they might be to enter the tobacco business that is the manufacture of plug tobacco. Now if any of the citizens of your town would me some help I might commence such business in Greenville. You know who I am. I know all of the business, both of the manufacturing and culture. Please find out the sentiment of some of your friends and let me hear from you. Your Friend D. A. Owen. One of the merchants of the town was heard to remark a few days ago that the spread of co culture over Eastern Carolina was killing Greenville as a cotton market that the farmers of Greene county, who used to bring a great deal of cotton to Greenville had stopped and were either growing tobacco in its stead or were mar- their cotton somewhere else. The fact the case is this ; the culture of tobacco in Eastern North Carolina will never kill Greenville as a market for any- thing. Of course the more co there is planted the less cotton there will be to market and the better off will be the merchant and Elizabeth Charles I of England took to his own home. Sir Walter found on the coast of our State many curiosities which were to the English people among these was the tobacco plant some of this unknown weed was procured by his men in their first voyage and taken back to Sir Walter who remained in England while the first trip to the fairy land was made. Ho soon learned its uses and one day while whiffing away pleasantly in his drawing room a servant who had been ordered to bring ale returned and seeing the smoke gushing pro- from his master's lips and thinking that ho was on fire dash- ed the contents in his face. This fact though a joke clearly shows that the use of tobacco was known in England and the old authorities before the discovery of America, before the discovery even of North Carolina a century after the discovery of America. It was in North Carolina soil that the civilized world first found tobacco growing. It even more for history bears out that it was in Eastern North Carolina tobacco was first discovered and in all probability it was at least an hundred miles east of Pitt county. Notwithstanding these historical facts and the fact that North Carolina produces more bright tobacco than all the world besides yet she has never yet had this credit given her by the tobacco world. Virginia in this respect wears the laurels that THE SECRET OP GROWING FINE WRAPPERS. For a number of years I have grown my tobacco with the use of a fertilizer formula commonly known hereabouts as the While the materials used have not been exactly in accordance with said formula, nor the per acre quite in accordance with the original formula yet the mixture is substantially the as no other was used, except on a part of the land, a light coat of stable manure was spread. I transcribe from my book the formula as I it last year and about as I have used it other Cotton meal Cotton hull ashes Oyster shell lime 1,600 lbs. 1,200 lbs. lbs. Total lbs. The whole cost was o per ton mixed. THE SEED I used the same mixture on my plow and ridge up in the fall, the beds where plants are to be the next year. The ridging up will materially accelerate the drying up the land in the spring, and thus make possible the early sowing of seed. FITTING THE LAND. I plow my land three times, once in the fall and twice in the spring. The fall plowing, I think, by the action of the elements in freezing thawing, and the disintegration of the lumpy foil, tends to lessen the trouble the next season from cut worms. It certainly does destroy weeds and retards their new growth the next spring until the land is sufficiently dried off for another plowing. After each plowing in the spring, give a good thorough harrowing with an Os- born spring tooth harrow, and a smoothing off with two heavy planks one firmly bolted to the edge of the other, leaves the ground in the desired condition for the APPLYING THE FERTILIZER. There are two principal methods of applying fertilizer to tobacco land. One is to apply it previous to the last plowing, the other to apply it the last plowing and just before setting the plants. No mistake will be made in adopting either methods. The argument or theory of the plowing in is that, by so doing, the fertilizer be- comes thoroughly rated and mixed with the soil. That is undoubtedly true and where one has a large acreage to put out it is advisable to got as much land ready for the as possible early in the season. An- other argument that all soluble, parts of the fertilizer by being some time in the soil previous to setting the plants are in process of being assimilated with the soil and therefore all ready to receive the roots of the young plant which immediately begin their forward growth- This also is probably theory reduced to practical opera- But having had a number of with the above and always by sowing the fertilizer on broadcast after the last plowing, and having most invariably had good results therefrom, even grown side by side with a large field treated in the other manner, I am obliged to infer that it is just as well to spread on fertilizer after the last plowing. But the harrowing must be thorough. My theory is, that the nearer the fertilizer is to the surface, and still have it thoroughly mixed with the soil, the better. Tho tobacco plant is a gross feeder, and its roots do not, many of them, strike deep down into the soil. Pull up a full grown plant and you dis- cover that a large percentage of its roots strike out horizontally from just under tho surface of the soil. If you have ever had full grown tobacco badly washed by water running through the rows, you been astonished to see how literally full of small fibrous roots the soil was near its surface and clean across the furrow. This leads me to believe that it is to send the fertilizer deep Practical Farmer. P. Reported f Green, to Common, to Good. to Fine. to Fillers Common.
