The large meeting of citizens
in the Opera House last Thurs-
day night, gives promise of a
brighter future for Greenville.
The meeting was called to take
steps looking to the
of a Business Association
aim should be to secure
the development and advance-
of the town and community
and the large number present
shows that the people are alive
to such a movement. The at-
t even surpassed the ex-
of the originators of
the association and such a
of interest is sure to
beget beneficial results. Nor
was such a movement instituted
before it was needed. Green-
ville is an old town, her history
dating far back into the last
century, but not until late years
has any special spirit of progress
existed within her borders.
Naturally it is a much favored
town. Beautifully situated at
such an elevation that makes its
drainage almost perfect,
ally healthy locality, and in the
of one of the wealthiest,
lamest and most fertile counties
the State. In fact nature had done
so ranch that for ages her citizens
satisfied to move quietly
along with the drift of the tide.
Bat times are different and changes
are being wrought. The people are
awaking from their lethargy.
Greenville of to-day is not

of the Reflector's existence it has
witnessed almost a complete trans-
formation. It has seen the
portion of the town increase from
one solitary brick store to six

the town double the size of its pop
But It is the we started
out to talk. To keep pace with the
spirit of progress this day the
must bestir themselves.
There mast be activity energy
if Greenville is to occupy

are coming to this realization.
The initial step has been taken.
Let it be followed up by others.
Grasp every opportunity for
that presents itself, work
earnestly, work aggressively, and
ere long the fall fruition of oar
hope will be realized. Let every
man who was at the meeting last
Thursday go again to-morrow
night, induce many others as

Washington, April
Harrison is still keeping up his
policy of wearing out the office
seekers, and judging from the way
the hotel lobbies are to
thin out he is succeeding pretty
well. With the exception of a
batch of postmasters, he has made
no important appointments this
week, and the republicans are slow-
discovering that it is poor policy
to try to drive into a hurry
be has announced his
of going slow. Patience, Messrs.
office seekers, your machine goes
slowly but every time it appoints a
man it is a republican, free from any
symptoms of that

question of time when every demo-
now in office will be succeeded
by a republican. What more can

ground that the injury was not re-

reversed and the pension allowed.

Mr. Harrison's latest rap at the
democratic party was to inform a
democratic Senator, who called on
him in behalf of a democrat that
wants to be a member of Civil

those democrats, which by law be is
compelled to, he should only

When the hum id shadows hover

And the melancholy darkness

What a Joy to press the pillow
Of a cottage chamber bed,
And to list-en to the patter
Of the soft rain overhead
Every patter on the shingles
Has an echo in the heart-.
And so a thousand recollections
Into busy being start;
And a thousand busy fancies
Weave their bright hues into woof
As we listen to the patter
Of the soft rain on the roof.

With her wings and waving hair.

And another comes to thrill me,
with her eyes delicious blue;
And I mind nut musing on her.
That her heart was all untrue;
I remember but to love her
with a passion kin to pain.
And my heart's quick pulses vibrate.
To the patter the rain.
Art hath naught, or tone of cadence.

In the soul's mysterious fountains,

Lie was a well-read man, and of
more than ordinary intelligence.
His reading unfortunately bad been
of such a kind as to lead him into
infidelity, and the saddest part of it
all is that, in spite of the kindly
officers of ministers living
him, be died as lie had lived,
not believing in the existence of
God, a hell or the immortality of a
soul.
His directions as to the
his Inn were precise and peculiar.
His body was to be kept unburied
enough to preclude the
of his being buried alive. It
was then to in a deep
grave, to be dug the large
poplar beside the path leading to
the They were requested
to put into the grave first some pine
and cedar brush. then two blankets
were to be put in, and the body
laid on these, which were then to be
folded over it. More brush were to
be put boards, as is used
with coffins, resting on a ledge for
the purpose; the grave was to
be filled with earth.
His for wishing to be bur,
under the large poplar was
that, he should be absorbed
and taken in the poplar, he
could have a good view of the
try and see what the people were
doing. His directions were followed.
