Prof. Massey and Commissioner Patterson, of the State Agricultural Department, began a Farmers’ Insti- tute here today to continue two days. This institute is for the purpose of dis- cussing topics looking to the improver ment of agricultural pursuits and the advancement of farming interests gen- erally. We were sorry to see such 4 small number of f.rmers, only about torty, present at the meeting today and hope there will be a much larger at tendance tomorrow. ‘There is much to be learned from these institutes, and the farmers should attend them. A portion of the business section of Greenville, N. C., was destroyed by fire Saturday night. Monday morning the ReF_rcror published an extra giving full details of the disaster. The Re- FLECTOR is always up to the times.— Berkley, Va., Graphic. The Jacksonville (N. C.) Times tells of a case in dispute there, over the ownership of a three dollar hog; the expense incurred to date amounts to about $60, and as an appeal was taken from the verdict rendered, the case goes to the Supreme court, and we presume that by the time the case is settled the hog will have died of old age or be worth seven dollars a pound. Goods Roads, The importance of road improve- upen tlie people. It is strangely true the greater number of people, it is dif- ticult to get the majority of people to take the matter of improving the roads to heart and resolutely demand that road improvement be commenced and continued under the best possible system ‘of labor. For some years New Jersey has been one of the foremost States in promoting the construction of good roads, and her people are reaping the benefits in a very Ssatistactory way. Farm property in many instances has doubled’ in value, and wherever the good roads are constructed there is cer tain appretiation ‘in property. New Jersey sets aside $100,V00 a year for the making of permanent roads, and this pays the people so handsomety there is a strong ‘sentiment in that State for increasing the annual appro- priation.— Leakesville Herald. Engineer Killed. At Weldon, Saturday, Engineer Dodd, of the Seabord Air Line, was shot and instantly killed by a negro named Henry Dowden. The negro was loafing around the train and got up on the engine when Engineer Dodd ordered him to get down. The negro got down, drew a pistol and fired with fatal effect. The murderer was arrest ed.

An editor who hus evidently had some experience, puts itas follows: “We at least earned just this inuch about the newspaper business. Advertising of any kind should always be paid for.

We learn that Mr. J. C. Cox, near near Winterville, died very suddenly his morning.. Little more than a week ago he had an attack of grip from which he was confined to liis bed, but had re- covered sufficiently to be up.

His victimsdo not. de- serve much sympathy, for they ought to know better and not al: low themselves: to be so easily duped. . The fakir’s scheme for swind- ling was so fraudulent on~its face that it is surprising anybody was duped. He pretended to be sel jing some medicinal breast-pad ata quarter apiece, aad. at. first, he would give the purchaser a halt or even a dollar in addition te the. pad. This free distribution of money soon attracted the cu- pidtty’ of the crowd and they showered the money on him. After thus giving away at least $20,/he announced that he would’ stop, giving money aod would| give jostead a valuable present with each pad. Accordingly he rapidiy banded suull packages us prerents to his victims, who fair- ly.rained the mouey Ou him, un- tlie had received two or three handred dollats. ” By. this tithe some of bis vie tims hud opened their pacKages and discovered that they were worthless.

One wet and dreary day I was sitting alone when the bell rang. I gladly ran to answer it and saw a strango gentleman standing there, but looking beyond him I saw the dear face smiling at me from the carriage window.

BELCHER This Suits All Papers, The man, who will borrow his neigh- bor’s paper and read it every week, is cheating the newspaper man out of his labor. Editors have to live on what their papers bring to them, and any one who will habitually read a borrow” ed paper, gets the product of the editor without paying for it, and is not one whit better than the man who borrows corn from his neighbor's field and never pays it back. Are you guilty of this? If so, stop it, send us a doliar and get The Record for twelve months, and then when you read it you wont fee y one, who reads The Record bo our subscription list vould be double what it is. Don’t read a paper unless you pay for it. If it is not worth the subseription- price then it isn’t worth reading.
