WHY THE WEDDING WAITS.
FRANK L. STANTON.
I sorter thought ITd speak my mind
next time I went to see
Maria, but"theyTll never make an ora-
tor oT me!
For every time I struck a word ITd sor-
ter choke anT cough,
AnT thatTs why I canTt tell you when
the weddinTs cominT off!
I looked at her ~a-settinT by the fire
~plazinT bright"
Her cheeks like two red roses anT her
eyes like lakes oT light,
AnT I think I said Ttwas snowinT"
kinder keerless like anT free,
AnT thatTs why I canTt tell you when
the weddinT is to be!
The quiet"it got painful; you could
hear a feather fall ;
We was Tbout as interestinT as the shad-
ders on the wall ;
But at last I said: oMaria!� anT she
turned anT looked at me,
AnT thatTs why I canTt tell you when
the weddinT is to be!
ITm good at campaign speeches, anT I
always win my race;
Kin speak my mind in meetinT anT sing
oAmazinT Grace !�
But when MariaTs by my side I lose my
pedigree.
AnT thatTs why I canTt tell you when
the weddinT is to be!
If women didnTt look so sweet, anT
didnTt keep so still,
PTraps Ttwould come as easy as rollinT
down a hill;
But when I say: oMaria !� sheTs shore
to look at me.
An, thatTs why I canTt ,tell you when
the weddinT is to be!

Hon. John M. Pattison. President
Union Central Life Insurnnce Co.,
Cincinnati, O.
Dear Sir :"I take pleasure in ac-
knowledging receipt this day through
E. W. Jewell, your General Agent in
this city, of $10,327.68, in payment of
policy No. 9,928 mm your company.
I wish to express to you my hearty
thanks. My policy was for $10,000.00
andon your Life Rate Endowment Plan
I paid you but the Ordinary Life, Pre-
mium, just the same as I would have
paid any of the other leading companies
for a policy to be paid only at death,
and yet your profits have been so large
that in a little over 22 years it has ma-
tured for an amount over the $10,000,
and thus I have an Endowment
Policy at Ordinary Life Rates.
I am greatly pleased at my good for-
tune. No other company known to
nie gives such a contract or secures such
results. I carry policies in a number
of the leading companies, but I have
none whose results compare with this.
Tam glad that my own city of Cin-
cimati is the home of such an_ institu-
tion as the Umon Central Life Insur-
ance Cofhpany, and as acitizen I am
proud of it, Jam.
Yours respectfully,
GEORGE FISHER.
The policy contracts of the Union
Central Life Insurance company are
attracting a great deal of attention as
well as the unequaled results for the
insured arising from our interest rate,
which is the largest of any company,
and from our death rate, which is the
smallest of any company.
Write for explanation for a policy on
your life, stating age.

OUTRAGEOUS ASSAULT.

Knocked Down and Beaten Into In~
sensibility.
SRE ORE
Through a letter to the RerLECTOR
from Winterville we learn of an out-
rageous assault upon Elder Fred Me-
Lawhorn on Saturday night. After he
had retired somebody knocked at his
door. He got up and upon opening
the door was knocked down and drag-
ged our into the yard where he was
beaten into insensibility. The letter
gave no further particulars.
Frem another souree we hear that
Mr. McLawhorn while speaking of the
assult on Sunday, said he did not know
who the assailant was or whether more
than one assaulted him. The first blow
atthe door stunned him, and when he
regained consciousness he was on his
bed and a fire had been kindled in the
flre-place. He did not know how he
got on the bed or who made the - fire.
Mrs. McLawhorn was away from home
visiting a daughter at the time, and
two other daughters were asleep in an-
aroused by the disturbance and knew
nothing of it until next morning. Our
informant said Mr.McLawhornalso stat
ed that he had had no trouble with any
one to provoke such on assault, unless it
was some words he had with a hand
on his farm, Saturday evening, because
the hand was cruelly kicking a horse.
This was a dastardly crime, calling
a citizen from his bed in the dead hours
of night and beating him into uncon-
sciousness. If caught the assailants
should be punished severely. Pitt
county ought to have some blood
character.
Elder McLawhorn is a minister of
the Free Will Baptist church, and was
one of the Representatives from this
county in the wegislature of 1893.

Danger in Bemg Too Slow to Act on
Important Matters.
eens aerate
It becomes more evident everyday
that Greenville should have a Board of
Trade. In last weekTs issues ot the Re-
FLECTOR there were enough enterprises | oj
suggested to give the town a great for-
ward impetus if there was the proper
effort to take hold of them and push
them to completion. There should be
a Board of Trade to take such matters
in hand and see that the necessary in-| 4
ducements are held out to capitalists | 4
who can be secured to come here.
These things are worth giving atten-
tion to and the town is losing opportun-
ities by delay. A $300,000 cotton fac-
tory and large tobacco stemmeries ae
not enterprises that can be picked up
any day, and while there is a chance of
securing them the opportunity should
be embraced. CanTt the business men
leave their individual work long enough
to give a few hours attention to such
matters as will do so much for the gen-
eral advancement of the town ?

a notice which I think ought to be
read with care, and then tucked away
in the memory, Here it is.

HOW TURKISH Wi WOMEN DRESS.
Wearing Neither oCorset ~Nor Stockings,
They Have Curious Articles of Attire.
In not a single respect is a T u
ladyTs attire similar to that worn by
the women of the occident. Amazihg-
ly: lit 2.is known, in fact, about the
be of the women of the harem,
and the average American woman has
little. idea regarding it, save that all
Turkisl owomen wear trousers and a
veil. :
The two most interesting and impor-
tant points are that the Turkish woman
wears no corsets and. nostockings. She
has nothing whatever in the place of
corsets, but instead of stockings knitted
woolen socks. Often these are open-
worked very skillfujly, and have a mix-
ture of silk threads. Some are elab-
aratiely - embroidered in colors and in
old.
Oe very first garment the woman
of the orient puts on is a long-sleeved
chemise of Broussa crepe gauze. This
is made exactly like the seamless holy
coat of Treves, and its neck is cut out
and hemimed in a close roll.
oThe trousers are made most often of
chintz or cretonne, and are vivid and
startling.in color.
immediately after the chemise, and are
about four inches longer than the leg.
They are fastened by a drawing-string
at the waist, tied in front, and they
hang down over the ankles.
The entarri, a garment taking the
place of the trained skirts of the west,
comes next. It is of cotton, wool, silk
or satin, perhaps of rich broeade, per-
haps of a brilliant tint, but of whatever
material it may be made it is bright and
giv. It consists of four breadths.
Next in order come the sash and the
jacket, the latter being worn only inj,
warm weather. Itisshaped like what we |
call an Eton jacket, and buttoned to
the waist line with small jewels or gold
buttons. The sleeves are sometimes
elbow sleeves, alivays loose and often
left flowing below the elbow. |The
curious thing about this jacket is that
while it is well fitted in the back, all
the portion that should cover the breast
is cut away, leaving the entire bust ex-
oWhile the other portions of the cos-
{aime worn by Turkish women are won-
derfully picturesque, the most pride
ef all is taken in this jacket. Velvet,
silk or satin are the materials used for
it. The wives of the richest Moham-
medans have it embroidered with seed
pearls, turquoise or coral, and always
with gold and silver threads.
Exceedingly important, too, really
the most important article in this at-
tire, is the yashmak, or Turkish veil.
The Turkish woman wears no hat, but
she nevertheless is not debarred from
the usual feminine prerogative, for it
is invariably in order for her to query
whether her yashmak is on straight.
In fact, a woman shows .whethier she
has style or not by the way she Wears
this veil. It is a law of the prophet
that Mohammedan women shall never
be without it ~when outside of their
homes; and this law is rigidly adhered
to.
One valuable use the veil has. It
etherealizes by {ts folds the entire
face, @ very necessary thing when the
feminine custom of painting the whole
countenance is taken into considera-
tion. Without her veil the Turkish
woman looks rather ghastly when she
is in full regalia. Her eyebrows are
blackened with kohl, her lips are crim-
soned, her cheeks are dyed carmine
and the rest of her face is whitened
with arsenic parte or some similar com-
pound."N. Y. World.
A COZY RECESS.
An Odd Corner in the Wall Can Be Fit-
ted ~Up Attractively.
A recess in. the wall, or a jog, as it is
frequently called, can be tastefully
fitted up as a wall bookease with but

Well as a background for theT books and

The Schoolboy and the Senet
an inspector, wishing to test the kuowl-
edge of a class in fractions, asked one
boy whether he would rather take a
sixth or a seventh part of an orange if
he got his choice. The boy promptly
replied that he would take the seventh.
At this the inspector explained at
length to the class that the boy who
would choose the smaller part, as this
boy had done, because it looked the
larger fraction was. very foolish; but
the laugh was on the other side when
the chirping voice of another urchin
broké in in remonstrance: oPlease, sir,
but that boy disna like oranges!�"
