Secretary Morton's dinner to dent and Mrs. Cleveland, this week, has been widely discussed on account of the original manner which the table was decorated. A big plow made of red carnations was the center piece of the table, and upon each side of it were hay stacks made of yellow spun sugar, under were piles of tables and farm implements all made of sugar. At each of the four corners of the table was a wheelbarrow made of candy cabbages, containing confections in the shape of vegetables and fruits. The ices were in candy hay wagons, and the punch in little cups made to apples, peaches and pears, and the individual dishes for the stewed terrapin were china terrapins.

New Orleans, La., Editor noticed from the columns of your live paper the destructive fire which laid waste so many buildings in Green- ville, and regret exceedingly the loss which the merchants sustained from ; however, with the pluck and en- which the Greenville people am sure they will soon rebuild the burned district with mod- structures. It is indeed a of much pleasure- to a North to see from the columns of the the wonderful growth which Greenville has in the last few After a lapse of five years, on my visit to your town last summer, I must say that the growth of Greenville was so great that I could hardly realize that I was in Greenville, which shows very clearly that her bus- men possess the necessary pluck and energy to make the town one among the foremost cities of North Carolina, and while great conflagrations are always to be regretted, yet it is a matter of fact that more beautiful structures always take the place of burned ones in alive city. The same, I predict for Greenville. I notice also that on all, in North Carolina, are in the midst of a big snow while we, in New Orleans, are having real summer weather. Our Carnival which has just passed been one of the most beautiful that New Orleans has had for many years. The city was crowded with people, and every one had words of praise for the grand parades and our lovely weather. that this conflagration will not retard the growth or prosperity of Will First Monday in July. Owing to the small attendance upon the Institute, Commissioner Patterson Prof. Massey decided not to carry it on today but left this morning.

The farmers can learn much from the institute and they should attend. The Salisbury World a story. Will Fry and Miss Amanda Newell, both of were ed to be married. Miss Newell, how- ever, went to Rock Hill, S. C, where she found a new lover to whom she be came engaged, casting Fry off. She was to have been married last Sunday to the new man, among the sent out was one to Fry. He left for Rock Hill last Friday, at once sought out the girl, induced her to reconsider and marry him and has since arrived home with the s whom at one time it looked as if he had lost. very worst, and that later reports might make the losses Greenville, like too many cities and towns of this State, seems to hare had no water supply, in the people seem to have depended upon wells in case, of fire, a source of supply not only always an uncertain one, but one at times the water is wanted the most for dry weather, are usually nearly, if not altogether dry. While the good of Greenville feel their loss most severely, they soon rally and rebuild their burnt dis- putting up better structures than those which were destroyed, and the same time they will undoubtedly learn the necessity of securing a certain and abundant water supply in the future for their city, which will be provided, to prevent the recurrence of such dis- fires as that of last Sunday morning. It was with its usual enterprise that the Reflector of Greenville issued early Monday morning an extra edition giving full particulars of the It was a clever piece of journalistic work. The Journal was indebted to Re- r for the account published in these columns yesterday of the fire. The Journal will be glad to note, as it expects to do, the return of confidence hope in the hearts of the people of Greenville which will inspire to rebuild their city, and make even bet- than it was before the disastrous fire of last Sunday, and in this expectation the people of this section and the entire State, will watch for the de- of the Greater Greenville of the Journal. These are kind words, indeed, and will be truly appreciated by our people. Reflector hopes tit no far dis- any to be able to inform its kind neighbor that Greenville is herself again and that the town has been re- built better than ever. Greenville has suffered severely but can't stay down. In this connection it is in place to say that the Salisbury Herald of Mon. day also had a well written, article about our fire, which the Re. intended to publish, but some one relieved us of the paper before we had done with it. Greenville being the birth-place and old home of the Herald man, we know that the thy he expressed was the sentiment of an aching heart. T. WHITE, A.

We extend sympathy to her her Mr. H. Clark had moved from our city and just entered business there, when burned out. It was indeed a sad loss to him. The whole of Washington deeply for him trusts he will soon be upon his Messenger. Two The daily Greenville and King's Weekly, of that city, both displayed enterprise, in getting out ex- yesterday, giving the particulars of the big fire that swept away half the business part of Greenville on Sunday morning after o'clock. Ten brick stores, four one-story brick stores, the opera and eleven frame buildings were burned, as will be seen elsewhere in the Messenger's news columns. Both papers gave full particulars of the fire, and, while Green- ville is to be pitied for her great tune, she is to be congratulated upon having two live newspapers. The Re- account of the fire can be found on the second page of this issue of the Mes- Reasoning. The editor who penned the following words knew just exact what he was talking about. If there is any better reason for asking a newspaper to work for nothing, than there is to ask a school or a preacher to give their vices free, we would like to have them explain it to us. We are unable to sec the point, especially where parties ask- free advertisements are intent on making money out of it.

The Story of a Strange Experience Had by Detective. strangest experience I ever said a well known detective to the Cincinnati Tribune, in locating a sneak thief who -y robbed a business man's There had been a of robberies extending over a consider- able of time. The servants of the house had been several times, and yet the thefts continued. About once a week some one entered the man's sleeping apartment and took what money he had, if any, if not, succeeded in obtaining some of his wife's jewels or valuable silverware. I was employed in the case and made a thorough lamina- of the promises. At first I thought the work was done by some one inside the house, but my client told me that he bad surprised the man one night, and that he went out the window and down the porch, was undoubtedly the way he came in. Ho described the man as being small, thin and pale and wear- a mask. The did not suit any in the house or any one whom the business man knew. client slept in tho front room and his wife in one adjoining, there being double doors between them. I searched the pawnshops thoroughly and find no trace of the miss- jewels or silverware, and after watching the house from the outside for several nights, during time there was another robbery, I prepared to sleep in my client's room, to which he readily consent- ed. The first night I slept there my client's belongings were ed, but several dollars in loose change had been abstracted from my own pockets, though usually I am a very light sleeper and awake at by any unusual I said about my own loss, but ed to remain awake thereafter. several nights nothing curred, when morning about o'clock a form came through the folding doors that the room where I was with that occupied by the wife of my client. I pretend- ed to be asleep and waited the thief's approach. It looked like a pale faced boy. Over its head thrown a dark shawl that gave tho appearance of a mask and a coat, but the form was and had on nothing besides the shawl but a nightgown. Noiselessly it glided to the window, unlocked it and passed out on the porch. I know in a moment that the person was the of my client, and I followed at once. As she climbed down tho porch the moon shone directly in face, and I saw that she was The woman went directly to an arbor that had been a and lifting a loose board dropped something and returned the way she came to her own apartment immediately investigated and found that in the place formerly used for the storage of milk and butter the missing jewels, silver and money were piled.

He stated that his was possessed of an almost insane fear that a some time he would fail and be to to want, although entirely upon all other subjects.
