Young men very reluctantly leave
their homes, but when homo is not
inviting there is no chance for
them to advance, to noble and lofty
stations in life, do not blame
them for leaving.
It is a fact that many or our best
young men leave the State because
they do not receive a sufficient re-
for their labors. In
t many positions that young
occupy, their pay is so small that
can barely make a living.
North Carolina can not spare so

care of their financial affairs, so
that they may not be by

The clerks of Senators for all
nary purposes really are the Sena-
tors. They arc not yet permitted
to vote, but they get up the
ions, in accordance with which the
Senators vote, and they write
speeches by which those opinions are
sustained. They act, moreover, as
Senatorial scapegoats, upon whose
convenient backs are laid all sins of
commission and omission in getting
wrong appointments and not get-
ting right ones, in this capacity
the clerks of Representatives would
have a value far beyond any cost
likely to be incurred m providing
for them.

A lady friend of the editor came
to the office on the
morning of the 10th inst., and told
him something was going to hap-

that he had a bad dream about
him the night before. The editor
was taken very sick the next day
and it was nearly two weeks before
he could get back to the office.
Irregularities in the mails and
negligence of the postmasters have
caused th Reflector to lose a
few subscribers. While the
we have lost has been very
small, the Sanford Express says it
has lost fifty from the same causes.
The Republican postmasters

knowing the injured parties have
no redress, may be trying to get
even with the Democratic papers
for the part they take against the
Republican side in the campaigns.
That kind of meanness would be
about in keeping with the
of their party.

While on this subject a few
words recently clipped from the

to masonry may not be out of

The Masonic brotherhood is a grand

were alleviated as far as could be by all
that willing bands and hearts could do.

ties must be severed, and he quietly and
fell asleep to awake in pros,

hard indeed far to

faithful and true to father and
aid so affectionate towards and

that came from that household, and
prompt faithful in every little trust

forwarded us a table showing the
benefits to the public derived from
this work. As soon, says he, as a
stream is opened to commerce the
reduction in freight charges is so
considerable as to encourage the
rapid development of towns
as are already in existence along
its length; and the certainty
cheapness of its freighting and
facilities authorizes es-
of continuous and ex-
tended settlements all along the
banks. More than this, the
of obstructions from the bed and
banks of the stream facilitate the

In this way it can readily be seen

not only increases the
such water ways but
proves the drainage, culture, value

Brick Depot.
The Reflector to throw
out a pointer to the people of Green-
ville and community, and hopes
they will take some immediate ac-
tho matter. Work on the
bridge across Tar River is
fairly progressing, and at no far
distant day is expected to com
pitted. The trestle track
ready being finished to tho river,
leaves only the completion of the
bridge the laying of track
through town to have the road fin-
to site selected for the
depot. It is presumed that as soon
as is done Company will
want to move their business from
over to Greenville at once,
and will soon begin erecting depot
buildings so as to have them
readiness the other work is
finished. This depot is tho point
we wish to talk about just now.
The Reflector thinks that Green,
ville with population and a
good prospect of doubling that
her within a few years, ought to
have a depot that will do lull credit
to the town, and suggestion is
that the people at once the
railroad authorities to give us such
a depot. A handsome brick depot
ought to be built and we believe
will be if the citizens of Greenville
do their duty the matter. Let
our town show its interest in the
railroad and what it does, and the
railroad will be apt to
show their interest in our town.
Start out with the very best of
