The turnip crop this season is ; large. recent rains have swollen the streams. Base ball has gone info winter quarters. We predict a boom for Greenville next year. Some clear, cool weather would be enjoyed. Roads throughout the county are in bad condition. The Rocky Mount fair last week was a fine success. Not as much hand shaking goes on now as prior to the election. The Southerner has a man who wears a shoe. Tarboro is pushing rapidly for- ward in the way of improvements- Christmas goods will soon be coming in. Prepare for advertising. Look out for H. F. Keel's carload of flue to arrive this week. Oysters plentiful. Three boats at the wharf this week they are fine. Thanksgiving Day is Thursday of next week. Do not forget the poor and orphan. Miss May Gay, of Wilson, is vis- Mrs. L. C- Terrell. Mr. J. J. Jr., was sick for several days but now again. Mrs. J. W. Perkins returned last week from Baltimore and is with relatives here. Mr. John Sizer, of Tarboro, has been assisting in the telegraph office for a week. The editor and bride returned last week from Richmond and are living at Hotel Macon. Rev. J. W. was called home from the Baptist Convention at Greensboro by death among his members. Rev. F. will preach in the Church at this place next day morning and evening. Mr. J. H. Tucker and Mrs. Mary Stephens returned Monday night from Greensboro, where they had been attending the Baptist State Convention. M. W. is one of the jolly men who come around this way. His large, smiling presence was at Hotel Ma. con a few days ago. Messrs. J. J. Nobles, H. F. Keel and C. M. Bernard, Greenville, Dr. R. J. wife and Mes- Peal and Little of Bethel and Mr. William Harris, of Falkland, attended the Richmond Exposition last week. The Baptist State Convention in session at last week; raised nearly to help date the debt on the Memorial Baptist Church in this town. Res- also passed saying the be lifted by April next. This makes many a heart here rejoice, for the building can be completed just as soon as the debt is removed. The will be an ornament to Greenville and a credit to the Baptists of North Carolina. There were many sail home in Greenville last week, the strokes of affliction coming heavy and swift. A new steamer is to be placed on Tar river, to run from Washington to just above Tarboro. For several months there has been no report from Pitt county the Bulletin issued by the North Carolina Board of Health. C. D. proprietor the feed store, has an advertisement in th is issue. All in need of hay, corn meal, peas, oats mill feed, should call on him. Two had a row at Ins Saturday night and one shot the other the forehead. The head was harder than the pistol ball and the lives. Now is the time that business men should begin their exertions for the of Greenville. The must stand still no longer work done now will good results. Morris Bros, are disposing of their goods at prices almost heard of. The stock is bound to be disposed of before January and for that reason will be sold regardless of price. Hammond Hotel at Rocky Mount was crowded last week ring the lair, but proprietor Hart never comes short in any emergency always sustains the of his house. ML Lang is always up with the times and when he gets left you mark it down that there was race. His new advertisement to-day gives formation that will prove valuable to purchasers. There is a contribution box at the store of Messrs. Ryan Red- ding in which cash donations for the Oxford Orphan Asylum are placed. The box should be well filled by Thanksgiving Day. The color line was recently very clearly drawn in Greenville. At the demonstration sue in State and county the were white men, while the Republican jubilee over the of Harrison was one mass of It is pleasant to be thrown among clever gentle- men as are in the city telegraph office at Richmond During our re- cent visit there they were kind to in that can never be forgot- ten. We shall also remember the kindness of the operators at Tar- and Rocky Mount. Every merchant in Greenville closed his place of business on last Thanksgiving Day and we suppose the same thing thing will be done on the 29th. We have not had op- to ascertain the names of those who will close but have no doubt but that, all will do so and business generally be suspended on that day. Don't be in too much to buy your Almanacs for next year. The office will have a lot in a few days that were com piled since the election and will contain later information than any other on the market. Wait for the new ones, or leave your orders with Clarence Whichard and one will be reserved for you. The coming of a railroad to Greenville seems Insured beyond a doubt. President Waters, of the Atlantic Coast Line was here last week and said the Scotland extension of the W. W. road will surely come on to Greenville and that the work will begin at once. The surveying corps have encamped just beyond the river for several days and are car- forward their work. The road is expected to be completed to Greenville inside of six months. The Reflector has no agent in the field to receive subscriptions and collect money due us, and it is not convenient for us to leave the office and attend to such personal- But our office is conveniently located so that it need be no trouble for those who owe us to come in settle. It is not pleasant to us to be compelled to ask so frequent- for what is justly due, and it does not augur well for the man's integrity who permits so many duns to go to him before paying a debt. Observe this please. Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Whichard request that we return their sincere thanks to the people of Greenville for kindness and attention during the recent sickness and death of their son, James A. Whichard. If there is any earthly power that can lessen grief when hearts are torn asunder and their loved ones taken away in the icy clutches of death, it is in the ministry of kind, sympathetic friends. Appreciated. One of the inducements held out to me to accept a pastorate in Greenville was the great kindness and hospitality for which its people are noted. As an illustration I beg leave to record that on three since recent- on the return of my family from Virginia, have the people of my congregation united in bringing to the parsonage a voluntary offering of things varied, substantial and valuable. Last May they paid my expenses to the Southern Baptist Convention in Richmond, and re- to the State Convention in Greensboro. thoughtful kind- is appreciated. It sweetens labor and binds heart to my v v W. Tho of Death. Pleasures are so transitory, joys arc so soon turned into sorrow. Life is so made of rejoice to day and to-morrow we mourn. Last week was never to be forgotten Greenville. Four family circles were broken in almost the same day and there were few faces to be seen that did bear traces of sorrow and grief. From one home the prattling babe was taken, from one just tarn from youth to the strength of manhood, from another the devoted mother and wife, and another a fond husband and father. On the 14th at two o'clock P. M- Mr. William H. Home departed this after an ill of about ten days He years old and one of our best citizens. Mr. Home was once Mayor of Greenville and several years has been a Justice of the Peace. His were interred in Cherry Hill Cemetery- on Thurs- day, the funeral services being con- ducted by Rev. It. B. John, pastor of the Methodist Church of which deceased was a faithful member. A wife and tour small children are left to mourn their loss. eleven o'clock Thursday morn- Mrs. E. L. of Dr. C. J. died. Deceased was her 54th year and had been sick but a few days. She was a consistent and zealous member of the Baptist Church and was one of the most excellent ladies of our town. In works of religion and deeds of charity her life abounded and no member labored more than she to advance the inter- of her church and the of her Master. A true woman, a devoted wile, a most affectionate and loving mother, a sincere friend, her loss will be keenly felt the church community. A husband and son survive her. On Saturday morning her remains were laid to test in the Baptist burial ground by the side of the church she loved so well services were conduct- ed by Rev. J. Thursday afternoon little Garland one year old son of Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Tyson, died very suddenly. The little fellow had been sick and was thought to be improving, but when some medicine was being given it caught its breath and never breath ed again and could not be restored. The mother was almost, frantic with grief at the sudden and unexpected death. The remains were interred in Cherry Hill Cemetery Friday, Rev. R. B. John conducting the services. Thursday, evening a few minutes past seven o'clock, Mr. James A. Whichard, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Whichard, of township, died at the residence of Mrs. V. H. Whichard in this town. He was years old and was a young man of brightest promise. He was honest, manly and upright in all things and his life was pure and above reproach. To his parents he was ever dutiful and submissive, to his brothers and sister, he was kind and affectionate, and to Ms friends true and sincere. His manliness and integrity of char won for him the esteem and admiration of all our people. To the writer he was dear, for apart from the ties of relationship that bound he had been with us in the office for several months and stood faithfully by us under all circumstances, it matters not how trying. For us he truest devotion and his death is indeed painful. His memory will ever blessed. The remains were taken to the family grave- yard at the home of his parents and interred on Friday afternoon His coffin and grave were covered with floral tributes from Greenville In- of which he was last session r. pupil, from numerous friends in Greenville. On Saturday Mr. Amos Evans died at bis homo two miles South- west of Greenville. He was about years of age and was a highly es- teemed and worthy citizen of the comity. Besides the deaths occurring in our own community last week, a tel- was received by relatives here announcing the death of Mrs. Laura Johnston, wife of Mr. C. H. Johnston, near Tarboro. Mr. John once lived here his many friends with him in bis loss. With all the bereaved the deeply and truly May He, whose hand has directed these afflictions, st and sustain the sorrowing ones.

The hands, in tho meantime, having been also washed, should receive the bolus, and with a graceful motion dash it into the bowl, made e-f wood, in the shape cf a tin wash basin with four short feel, when the water would added and the thoroughly mixed up with the hands and by a dexterous manner all tho coarse particles removed.
