THE T SOLDIER. THE FAMILY BATHROOM. An SALVE LEGAL TENDER. AU In an Which Is Peculiar In Us Operation.

One of the large hoses will purchase one-fourth dozen of cigars and entitle you to a small box as change, or will buy drinks at the hotel bars, or will pass as one There arc probably more than different brands of salve made in Adams. There is a salve for salve for eczema, salve for tan and sunburn, salve for scratches bruises, salve for consumption, and so through a long of ailments. a separate distinct- salve for complaint or group of diseases. II. O. was the. first to make a success of the business, and his neigh- and then the entire population of the town decided to try their hands. These new manufacturers started in honorably, however. They nil met in a plan was perfected to prevent clashing competition between makers. An organization was per- to be known as the Protective league, and the agreement provided for the allotment of a certain number of diseases and ailments to each manufacturer. Tims, one was permitted to make salve for the healing of burns, scalds, itch and eczema; another for wounds, bruises, cuts, sores and ulcers, and an- other for croup, diphtheria, lumbago, jaundice and rheumatism. The growth of the salve business opened up a new field of employment to the idle persons of Adams, they were not slow in taking advantage of. All successful healing remedies are strongly by testimonials from those who have been cured or healed. The league solved this matter in a novel way. The of the salve for burns would him- self write, and have each member of his family write, testimonials for each of the other members of the league, in ex- change for testimonials from such members and their families. This worked well first, but now there ore regularly employed testimonial writ- who earn good sums writing for the league. These testimonials ore paid for according to merit, ore passed upon by an expert duly chosen by the league for that Y. Herald. Brittle Nail. Many women who hove pretty hands ore constantly mortified in cold weather by the rough appearance of their fin- nails, caused by the fact that they break split. The intense cold causes the to become so brittle that it seems impossible to trim them so as to make them smooth.

The farmer needs the bath much than his city neighbor, and could have it at a small cost, A bathtub N expensive, and with a good force- pump mid a barrel or two as head water, can be arranged without the aid of labor. If the house is already built and there is no room for the bathtub, it might be put into the kitchen, or even into the family living room.

The geographical world was to know what was this mysterious river the quest of which had occupied Liv- declining years. The Lon- don Daily Telegraph joined with the New York Herald in defraying- tho cost of this second expedition.

By this river age the question which had puzzled Livingstone for years was solved. It is a noticeable fact that when I began my descent of the Congo I was the only white my companion, Frank be found between the the and between Zanzibar and the Lower Congo.

L. present indications we may expect a very hugely increased business in Greenville next year. quickest, safest and surest way to build town is for all the citizens lo pull together all time, speak well of the town and believe yourself that it is the best and you will the more easily press others with your way of think- The writer spent a portion of last week in Kinston and we could but notice with admiration the amount of that such men as W. Canady. J, W. Granger and other representative s men that wide awake town take in the at that place. They have put their shoulders to the wheel, and with their money are determined to make a to- market of Kinston. Since the fire, with commendable enterprise the leading spirits have seen to it at a good system water works was cured, more and handsomer buildings have gone up in the place of those de. in the tire, and taken all in Kinston is a nice little town has a future. We are informed that there are a number of northern capitalists who will come to Greenville and build a three hundred thousand dollar cotton factory if the people of the town and county will subscribe fifty thousand dollars of the stock. Now the question might arise why is it that they don't come ahead and put in all the capital them- selves The answer is obvious, for several reasons. First, strangers do not like to go to a place and make in- vestments this large, unless they have reason to believe that the people are to such an enterprise, and an- other and very important one is we may tell outsiders as much as we please that there is an investment but unless we show that we are willing to invest something ourselves it is argument to others to do so, and though the amount may be small, yet it shows a willing en- and proves that we have confidence in the success of the under- taking, while if a careless indifference is shown, men of means are certainly going somewhere else to make their investments. There are hundreds of men in North Carolina whose opinion was asked as to what thought about securing such investors would unhesitatingly answer that they thought they better be let alone. Very these people are men of some means and in their ties wield a powerful influence because they have made money and their ion is regarded, on this account, while if it is considered for a moment that these men made their money probably at a time when the exercise of superior judgment in business matters was not at all necessary and that they obtained their fortune purely by the force of cir- the cause of their would at once become apparent have made their fortunes in an- other channel and are not able, or are afraid to handle business in any other In nine cases out of ten this class of our business men of to-day are barely paying and are only continuing in business for the. simple reason that they can't quit. And yet this class of men are set up as models of finance and business fore- thought. They have more to discourage and drive capital out of the State then all other forces combined, when if they were deprived of then- wealth and forced to compete with the them would not make the wages of a common laborer. No one them in the least for their line of thought or for adhering to these principles of business that has brought them success, that is the only natural course them to pursue, but the strange thing is that they such an influence when such a changed condition of the business world confronts us. must change with the spirit of the times or we get left. Health Lectures to Ladies. A rare opportunity will be afforded the ladies of Greenville this week, in a of health lectures to be given by Miss Cora of Charlotte, who will speak in the Court House Thurs- day and Friday afternoons at o'clock. No admission is charged, and all ladies are cordially invited to attend. Miss is now on a tour through the principal towns of the State. The following are some extracts concerning these lectures from State exchanges. The News says in regard to her lecture in that Yesterday Miss Cora of this city, gave a lecture to ladies only on the topic and She is an earnest, impressive and intelligent speaker, and held the close attention and interest of the throughout. Health charts to show the ravages which disease and folly can on the system, were described, while the beauty and grace of the healthy were presented in a fascinating manner. The subject, as presented, was shown to be of vital importance, and the lecture was highly appreciated by the ladies who were fortunate enough to Kinston Free A large of the representative ladies of our town heard Cora lectures last week. The lectures excited much interest, and they have gained the ears of our people. The relation between health and beauty was brought out, while the of health for the wife and moth- and the importance of simple treatment, were clearly There is a lack of knowledge concern- these subjects, and the fact is deep deplored among the more thought- Miss is concise, thoughtful earnest in her delivery, consequently her audience is fully impressed that the subjects under discussion are of vital importance. Goldsboro The health of Miss to ladies only in the Y. M. D. A. Hall yesterday afternoon, notwithstanding the inclement weather, was well attended and was as profitable as it was interesting. All who attend- ed speak of it in high terms praise and are generous in their expressions admiration Miss She will deliver her second and last lecture in Y. M. C. A. hall Monday afternoon at The ladies of our city could not do better than attend these lectures- It is a good opportunity of hearing the laws of health and none should miss it. ANOTHER BOY WRITES Expressing His Sympathy For and Devotion to Greenville. Voting Precincts. Bethel Items. Bethel, N. C. March 23rd, Deputy Sheriff J. L. Hearne, spent Saturday here collecting taxes.

The people in this section heartily endorse the trying to have a morning train run from to Kinston and return in the afternoon. Such a schedule would be of great benefit to the people of this section. It would give them an opportunity to go to Greenville and other places along the line and return the same day. Boll of Honor.

Editor Reflector weeks ago the friends the town of Green- ville and of the were very much pained to hear of the t de- by fire of about half the part of the town, but glad that through the heroic efforts of some of her citizens some of the business part of the town was saved from the arced of the devouring flames. From what has already been said it is evident that no effort on the part of the citizens was spared in fighting the seething monster, but no am of heroic effort could extinguish one spark of fire unless assisted by something else, and that something in the case in hand was water. Consequently to combat fire successfully there must be work and water. That the one was present is abundantly demonstrated by the fact that the stores of Brown Hooker are still standing. The absence of the is equally as well demonstrated by the fact that where once stood val- property is now a mass of black- end ruins. Anyone who knows Greenville and her inhabitants knows also that the burned will not long remain vacant, soon even better and more commodious structures will be rising to take the place of those lately de- But while all these things are going forward would it not be well to take precaution against such a calamity, and one which may occur at any time This subject of water supply has been brought before the people though the warning columns of the Reflector a number of times, and each time the warning was allowed to pass without any effect more than the expression of a hope of the citizen that fire would not come their way. A number of plans have bean suggested by different ones through the Reflector all of them own or less adequate, but none of those plans had assumed anything like shape until Mayor Forbes called the meeting of the citizens a few days ago. It was a great pleasure to note the active part taken in the meeting by some of the older, more conservative citizens, and it is to be hoped that they will not forgot that conservatism ceases to be a virtue when dealing with an enemy. I was glad to see that in this meeting the plan of a regular system water works was d and discussed, and that some of the most prominent and progressive citizens were enthusiastically in favor of such a system. Other towns in the State have tried it with success, why cannot Green ville This would not only prove a safeguard against fire, but would also prove of great benefit lo the town in placing it before the eyes of the world ; and as a result many good citizens would be added to the town. Bring on the water works by all means, and thereby protect the property already there, and induce others with money energy to come among you. And now in conclusion, it is to be hoped that Mayor Forbes will continue to call meetings, and that the tor will continue to be in the future what it has been in the the faith- monitor and promoter of the fare of Greenville.
