It was a sight to see this boat taking the water gracefully, with the owner in the bow, waving an American flag.

We have known for years that the Parker fountain pen was best made, but no idea that appreciated them so highly. Recently a shipment of about three of excellent pens, with some inks and ocher goods was made from the factory at Janesville, Wis. for the Reflector Book Store, and when that shipment reached Greenville there were exactly two pens left, all the others having been extracted from the box in transit. Doubt- less the railroad who got them had heard the praises of the Parker fountain pen, and wanted to join in the they get off to themselves where no one can hear them. The cir- under which they procured the pens forestalls the hope of getting a testimonial of their me-its- but they have get a good thing. STOKES ITEMS. Special to Reflector.
