An Error Made in Issuing a Marriage
License.
Register ef Deeds W. M, King hand-
edus the following letter received by
him which explains itself :
Grimesianp, N. C., Mar.-16, 1896.
Mr. W. M. Kina,
Dear Sir :"I saw in last weekTs is-
sue of the REFLEcTOR that you made a
mistake in the color of marriage license
that you issued on March 2nd for J. M.
Leggett and Adelaide V. Moore, and I
hope to see your mistake corrected in
next paper as we are white instead of
colo.ed. DonTt n.glect ia correcting it,
and oblige,
Yours respectfully,
J. M. Leccert.
It is due the Register of Deeds to ex-
plain how the error referred to occurred,
which he tells us was in this way: It
seems that at one of the landings down
the river some one handed a memoran-
dum to Capt. W. A. Parvin, of steamer
Tar River, and asked him to get a mar-
riage license for the parties mentioned
thereon when he reached Greenville.
Capt. Parvin went tothe Register of
DeedTs office for the license, but the
memorandum he had failed to give the
race ot the couple and the question was
asked him whether they were white of
colored? He dil notknow but8said he
gupposed they were colored, and the li-
censewas issued and entry raade accordint
ly.
Of course when the Rerrector
copied the list of names to whom li-
censes had been issued they were taken
just as they appeared on the records in
the Register of DeedsT office. However,
we cheefully publish Mr. LeggettTs let-
(| ter and this explanation which sets the
matter right,
Not to be Commended.
Mr. Polk Miller, of Richmond, Va.,
is nv doubt a fine success in delinea-
Nis negro character, but it speaks
badly for North Carolinians when they
are driven to employing him to lecture
over North Carolina to raise money to
erect the monumert to Senator Vance.
We know nothing shabbier of North
Carolina character than this. No one
five years ago could have persuaded us
that our people had so little patriotism,
pride, generosity, appreciation and
gratitude. In the great war the war
records show that North Carolina lost
in battle, killed and mortally wounded,
14,522 men, and that over 40,000 died
in all during the four years. This
629,942. But after and
blowing all North Carolina, now with
1,700,000 population, has not been
able to raise $1,000 for a monument to
the great war governer, who tought,
was imprisoned, and suffered for his

Some Curious Epitaphs.
Some of the most humorous as well
as the quaintest epitaphs are to be
found in New Jersey, Massachusetts,
New York and Connecticut church-
yards. Usually the lines tell not only
of the life of the dead person, but the
cause of death.
Ina Hartford, Conn., cemetery is
the following :
Here lies two babies so dead as nitts,
The Lord he kilt dem with His ague
fits,
When dey was too good to live mit
me
He took dem un to live mit He.
So He did.
A German in Rahway, 'N. J., noted
years ago for his ability to compose and
carve epitaphs, received the following
from a German, which he carved on
the tombstone as requested :
My wife, Susan, is dead. If sheTd
had life till next Friday sheTd been
dead shust two weeks. As atree falls
go must she stand. All things is im-
possible mit God.
In a South Carolina churchyard is
this epitaph :
Here lies the body of Robert Gardin"
Mouth almighty and teeth accordinT;
Stranger tread lightly over this wonder;
If he opens his mouth you're gone,
by thunder. |

Mr. William Conrad, a postottice
inspector who had his headquarters at
Greensboro, was found dead in his
bed Tuesday morning. He had been
slightly sick for two days but nothing
serious was thought of it. Mr. Conrad
was well known through the State and
was one of the best inspectors in the
government postal ~service.
The Supreme Court decides that
towns have aright to require dealers
in second hand clothing to have them
disinfected but no right to prohibit its
sale, that second hand clothing is not
of itself a nuisance and action in for-
biding its sale can be taken only ~when
it is proved to be a- nuisance. The
towns.also have.the right..to levy. a,

Thé Kentucky Legislature kept up
the dead-lock through the whole ses-
sion and the body adjourned without
electing a Senator. There has besn a
lively rumpuss all along, and during
the latter days of the session the mili-
tary had to be ordered out to preserve
peace and order. The Goveraor has
no power to appoint a Senator, so that.
State will be deprived of one of its
votes in the upper branch of the Nat-
ional Congress until a Legislature with
more sense than the last one meets.

Sharp Tool and a Piece of Soft White
Wood the Only Material Needed"The
Carver Can Chip in the Drawing-
Room, So Clean Is the Work.
The maiden of thisend of the century
has added a new accomplishment to her
repertoire of arts and sciences.
It is chip-carving, the most delightful
and o~ladylike� work imaginable; a ver-
itable fancy work, which oneT can
take up as easily as a bit of knitting or
embroidery. It has the advantage of
wood carving, whieh requires such a
vast paraphernalia before one can be- |T
gin -operaticns, and is so noisy in the
doing. that oneTs conypanions must be
long suffering"or deaf.
English girls are devoted to chip carv-
ing, but the art originated in Germany.
In the neighborhood of the Black for-
est one can pick up delightful speci-
mens of the work. ~Table tops, book-
racks, picture frames, footstools, in
fact, anything fashioned of wood is
eligible for carving. White wood is the
best for the purpose, and afterward it
can beystained in any color"a black
walnut tone brings out the carving
to perfection, or white enamel paint is
pretty. ~
A novice might begin with a book-
rack, one of the miniature kind which
holds half a dozen or so volumes and
stands on the library table. This, made
of white wood, can be bought for ex-
actly 90 cents. The two ends are all
that require carving.
The pattern, which is usually one of
geometrical design for chip carving,
is drawn or. traced with lead pencil.
Then, with tool in hand, one sits down
at oneTs ease in the corner of the draw-
ing-room, for the litter of chips is noth-
ing to speak of and can easily be kept
in the lap. .
Only one tool is réquired for the work
an amateur will do.T It is a ostraight�
tool, and costs about 25 cents. It can
be ® purchased at any hardware-shop,
for Noriolk |
and must be fitted with a wooder
handle and extremely sharp. Indeed,
it is the sliarp tool which makes the suc-
cessful carver.
The design is left in relief and the
business, by taking the academic:
course alone. Where they wish to
pursue a higher ocourse, this School
guarantees thorough préparation to
enter, wich credit, any College in North
Caroling or the State University. It
refers tc ,10ose who have recently left
its wall ~or the truthfulness of this
statement.
Any young man with chsracter and
moderate ability taking x conrse with
us will be aided -ju ~making arrange-
ments to continue in the higher schools,
The discipline will be kept at its
present standard.
Neither time nor attention nor
work will be spared to make this schoo,
all that parents could wish.

chance a bit of the design is chipped off
it can be glued on and will never show.
However, the carver after some practice
is not apt to make mistakes of this sort.
As the design develops under oneTs
hand the work becomes quite as fascin
ating as embroidery of the most se-

too, and two evenings ought to suffice
to carve at least one end of the book-

THE TRIABY MYSTERY.

re
A Large Crowd and Everynoay En-
joyed Themselves.
The oTrilby Mystery� at Germania
Hall Wedneeday night was an enjoyable
affair and every thing passed off very
pleasantly. The attraetion of the even-
ing was the guessing who oTrilby� was.
A booth was arranged in one side of
the room and in a chair sat a masqued
lady representng Trilby. The guessing
was spirited and some outlandish votes
were cast. At 10:30 oTclock the lady
was unmasqued and it proved to be
Miss Mollie Bagley and many exclama-
tion of surprise were heard on all
sides, eleven guessed Miss Bagley. The
ladies realized $5 in this booth.
i Another attraction was the oGood
Night Drill,� participated in by little
Misses May Schultz, Abbie Smith,
Marguerite Skinner, Irma Cobb; Hen-
nie Ragsdale, Velma Rawls, Janie Ty-
son and Nina James. Their manoeuv.
erings, With lighted candles in sticks
and ~n their night robes, were just beau-
tiful and denoted good training, and at
the close elicited rounds of applause.
The ladies had refreshments to serve
and they were well patronizet.

A new swindling scheme has been
devise¢, 1t appears, from the Newark,
Ohio, Advocate. A farmer is induced
to buy a bill of groceries from a travel-
ing salesman, the goods to be shipped
from some eity. In payment the man
agrees to take eggs. To make ;it all
straight and right, the farmer gives his
note for the goods and the traveling
man gives his for theeggs. ~The goods
