Mr. Eprror: Inanswer to yourtime Vy article inviting our opinion as to what-can be done during the coming year for the betterment of the town, I think Greenville’s greatest need is more public spirit amongst the monied and > usiness men, and to hold the ‘Town Commissioners responsible in part for their short comings. The streets are ap indication of a town’s progress. “Show me a town that pays no regard to -lits sidewalks and streets and I’ll show you a town whose population is for _ gelf, and whose greatest desire is to see every enterprise that starts up & fail- ure. ‘The days of old fogyism are num- bered ‘with the past- I have known _ some towns that were helped by having gome few first-class funerals, but with “us a few fifth class (af they “are rated “that high) would materially ‘aid the » town’s prosperity. One good move on the way is whether tobacco has done anything for Reidsville, Winston, Greensboro, being,” and a good piece of road is an light. We have its true the moon, once a ‘month, and in December last we had two. We want water, we don’t need it until we have-a fire. We want more, Durham and last but by no means Jeast Wilson. What would little Greer- yille have been if it had not been for tobaceo? With hope for the futare, ] am A. F. Good Roads and Streets. EpiTor Revixcton! _ White everybody is urging the need of water for the town avith which to put out fire, I want to say afew words of interest to every one in the county. All of us have heard the stoty of the “Arkansas Traveler,” in which it is re- lated how the owner of the house with a defective roof explained that he could not repair it while it was raining and when it wasn’t raining the roof answered all right, just as it was. In too many localities the bad condi- tion ofthe highways may be accounted for in the same manner. Through the busy teaming scason the farmers are too much occupied with other work to give the conditi n of the. highway much at- tention. And when their busy season is over, so they think it isn’t worth while to do anything until next year. ° And so “with a lick and a promise,” the roads are patched up “for the time accident or the result of Nature’s kind ness. Just now is a good time for the tar- mers andthe residents of the smaller towns to build their good roads, ‘on paper,” at least. | With good, correct roads in this coun- ty two-thirds of the expense of market- ‘ng its produce would be saved. It is worth considering. The value of farms would be increased greatly and every- body. would be much happier. Are the farmers of the land and dwellers in the town properly improv- ing the time in educating themselves and others in this vast important “‘mat- ter? A roads it keeps. good public road is a benefactor to Man- kind. Plan your work now and do it just as soon as you can, We have not the stone with which to macadamize our roads and streets as many of the western counties are doing but we could greatly improve them by using wide tires on wagons, carts and drays, A wagon with wide tires heavily loaded can be drawn 40 to 60 per cent. more easily over a soft or sandy road than the narrow tires we now use. Bo you believe that? If not, why not? It has been proven. Yours for more roads and better roads. L. H. PENDER. : ; neighborhood is judged by the The man who builds a Be up and Moving. Fpiror Rer_ectTor: You ask what can be done during Greenville. It is.a timely and import- ant question and all of usshould show an interest in this, the betterment,and im- provement of our town. Probably the clergy will dwell on the morals and their improvement. Butthe writer will say right here that individually we can make the morals of this place second to no town in the State. Now what can we do as a_ business people to bring new business to our place? Ido not mean by this more stores, as it seems to the writer that our merchants handle the trade,of this town in a very satisfactory way, that Green- ville is a good place to trade at. I will say let us all trade at home as mueh as possible the coming year, this alone will keep some of the money. with us away.

Scien- omen hint of bacteria; physicians onourie against pork, and dis- criminating fathers and mothers de- bar it from their'tables. Down south, however, no such prejudices obtain. There it is still the custom to eat iberally of backbone stew, hog’s head cheese, soused pigs’ feet, scrap- brain souffle and other delecta- ble dishes, with a reckless disregard of conseqpdfices. Yards and yards of linked black puddings and san- Rages are prepared and eaten there, and the people pronounce them good. Rows on rows of sides, hams and shoulders are swung from the raft- ers of dim smokehouses, there to be cured with the wholesome fumes of ternately burning and smoldering, in accordance with the undeviating rules. . Hog killing on the plantation is an event attended with ceremony and excitement. Even housewives arrange their social engagements with reference to its demands. “We can’t come next week be- cause we are going to kill,’ a soft voiced matron will say. _ “Tt may thaw and you can’t kill,”’ somebody suggests, but the mistress shakes her head, contending that it is the right time of the moon, and all will be well. The excitement begins in the kitchen when the aged pig sticker, imbued with a sense of the impor- tance of his office, goes to interview the cook as to the particular knives, pails and dishpans she oan spare for an indefinite time. In the beginning she tells him that she can’t spare any, andin the end she lets him havo everything he wants, but he acquires each article with a distinct struggle and after a promise to bring it back when he is done with it, a promise which she knows of old he will not fulfill. “Possessed of the murderous weapons, he is ready for the killing. A veil may be drawn over the ex- eoution and the attendant ceremo- alists.

The scene is the ‘game corner of the yard. The fu. sage grinder is got ont, scrubbed u» ‘and screwed down firmly to the tir deal table, where strong black arms are severing the fat from the lean, pink meat, carving it into “long strips, and cutting its white pulpi- ness into smooth, equal squares, to be rendered into lard. The long han- dled stuffer, black and shining, is set up on a stand of its own, anda round faced maid and experienced maumer are appointed to manipu- late it, the mistress superintending the delicate task of seasoning. The big black pot is filled with bubbling squares of white, and a thick waisted, handkerchief turban- ed negress stands near, armed with a big strainer to drain off the lard and preserve the precious cracklings, The sable high priest who shed so much blood at the killing is again op hand, bis head bound up in ap- proved fashion and bis hands busy soraping the pink toed feet. There are more pairs of feet awaiting his bands, besides the heads to be pre- pared for the scrapple and cheese. “Somebody run and git mea band- ful ob turnips outen de pateh; dis yere chine will make a fine stew,” says the cook, and then she picks out some of the spareribs for broil- ing and tells the old swineherd to hurry up with the feet so she will not have to be the whole afternoon over them. “T dunno how ‘tis, but we never see none ob dem big calabash gourd nowadays, like we used to have for packin down lard. It 'pears like de geed must ’a run out,’’ observes the woman at the sausage stuffer. “Well! de people all buy tin oan and jar and t’ings, spendin dere money like it wasn't hard to git; dat make de Lord stop dem big gourd from growin," says the pig sticker. “Dat’s jist where you're right, strainer. ‘“‘Dey even buys broom grass jist a-wavin at ‘em in de fleld, gers.""—New York Syn." j-conse ‘Lurkeys, Tops.—Green.... «+++: Mr. Beasely,” says the crackling outen de store when de tall broom Bich fool ways is ruination to nig- ~~ REPORT. — ——— TT DY ©.

Finally he formed a thoroughly characteristic resolution, and for a week was not seen in the office at all. Then one afternoon he marched into Mr. Stone’s office followed by four of his little children, the five of them pre- senting such a pitiable appearance as would have wrung tears from bis employer had his heart and his name been synonymous, which was far from being the case. Father and children were dressed in rags and tatters from head to foot; the chil- dren’s toes were sticking out bare through holes in their shoes; their faces were unwashed and their eyes red, as if they had been orying. Field himself was in no better plight, and there the five stood in front of Mr. Stone, speaking not a word, but looking at him with ap- pealing glances. All this of course had been carefully rehearsed by Field during the week of conspiracy, and the result was simply over- whelming. At last Field broke the silence, looking at his employer, who was also his best friend, outof those big eyes so full of human kindness, and said: “Do you think you can see your way, Mr. Stone, to raising my sal- ary?’ Needless to say he got the raise. Field’s eccentricity showed itself in the books he purchased, many of which had no possible bearing upon [ his work and indeed had small in- trinsic value. ‘‘My library,’’ he used to say, ‘‘is full of fool books,” and there was some truth in this. For example, he had hundreds of volu:nes containing the works cf unknown and or the most part un- vortuy pocts. Nothing pleased him more than to buy some little volume of execrable verse produced by 2 poet in Peoria or Coldwater or any other insignificant place, and these be would range proudly with the others and sometimes turn over the pages ‘‘just to see how bad they were.’’ He said that things had to be either very good or very bad in order to please him. One of the queer things he did at The News office was the establishing of what he called the ‘Field me- morial window,’’ really a portion of aglass door over which he had an artist draw a cherub with the ortho- dox wings attached to his own head and face. Under this cherub’s head he took delight in pasting all the disagreeable clippings he could gath- er from newspapers and periodicals regarding any one in the office and especially about himself. This win- dow came to be regarded as a regu- lar bulletin board of spleen, and many a quiet chuckle Field would have watching the long faces of his companions as they read sarcastic or facetious remarks about them. Field never cared how much fun was made of him, and he was the first to applaud when the laugh was at his own expense.—New York Sun. He Dodged. ‘‘Be sure your sin will find you out,’’ said a man who bas a weak- ness for high bats, which is incon- sistent with his general mode of dress. ‘At the instance of my wife, who did not like his styles, I aban- doned my old hatter not long ago af The On ‘h _itg Class in the State.
