GREENVILLE, N. 0, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 4, 1896. — No. hein ‘A STEP TO BE COMMENDED. - mama The action of the merchants of Cuth- bert, in organiziug a board of trade, is one to be commended to every other municipality of the south. The reasons for this step are numer- ous. The south, so far, has passed through the commercial stringency with less disastrous results than other sec- tions ot the union. During the twenty- five years of prosperity which followed the war the west was the recipient of both capital and immigration, while political troubles deprived the south of each. The era of so-called “sound money” squeezed all the values out of the west, broke their banks, bankrupted their merchants and rvined their far- |mers.. The south’s previous misfortune in not securing capital proved to be its best fortune, for it was thus spared the wholesale ruin waich overcame. the hitherto prosperous west. As we had ttle to loose then, we have everything to gain now, and in the rebuilding which necessarily follows every crash vhe | south offers such rewards and resources as must attact the attention of capital. The south is the natural home of the votton amills. ‘The hesitating New England, which tardily admits that the coarser goods must be manufactured in the south hereaftery will yet admit that the finer goods mustfollow. If they do not, we have now southern mill men, whose success makes their statements respected, who will push the work any- how and leave the New England mills to the abondonment which is inevitable. Every mill site in the south will be- come the center of a busy population, whose labor will unite to build up the country. . It is important, therefore, that the example of Cuthbert should be imitated by every town ii. the south in the for- mation of a board of trade whose duty it should be to discover the local pos- sibilities and to lend united support to their development. There is not a town but possesses some special qualification for business, which, if developed and placed before the public, would attract wealth. Capitalists and investors could deal with such a board when seeking information, and thas a mutual feeling would grow up of great advantage. But the distant investors aside, a board of trade means much for local purposes. It wouldestablish a business rivalry and emulation and give tone to a town which it could not have in any other way. It is not always the muni- cipal government—the mayor and the council of a town—that forms the best exponent of opinion. The methods by which men reach office are not always | conducive, toward pringiag out the best ‘men. The salaried officers of a town, jand those depending upon its law-mak- ing power for contracts and franchises, |too often get together and secure the election’of mere’ tools to the town coun- cils. In such cases the town board of trade, like the rural agricultural society, | can do much in saving the community | from adverse impositions. The coming together and the organization of the solid men of every community, taking an interest in local prosperity, can only |be productive of good.—Atlanta Con- stitution. The Rerceceor clips the above ar- [ticle to show that its argument for a Board of Trade in Greenville is along the right line, There is much in what the Constitution says that should be considered by our business men. | Teachers and scholars of the Bap- )| tist Sunday Sehoo! ean get their quar-|, |, |terlies by applying to W.

In response to the call of Mayor Forbes there was the largest gathering of citi- zens in the Court House, Tuesday night, that we have seen assembled to take part in any matter looking to the general progress of the town. Such an outpouring of the Citizens shows that they are becoming aroused to the town’s needs and are ready to act t- gether in matters pertaining to our general welfure. The meeting was called to order by the Mayor, who after a few remarks read the call previously published and invited expressions of opinion from any persons present. He said if’ the citi- zens of the town want a water supply they can have it, as the Board of Coun- ‘cilmen stood ready and were going to do just what a majority of the citizens desired them to do. He hoped those having anything to say would.say it in the meeting and not wait to get out on the streets to express themselves. Atter a few momen ts silence H. T King arose and said he supposed all were Waiting for somebody to “start the ball.” He expressed himself as fa- voring a regular system of water works in preference to cisterns. Alfred Forbes expressed himself fa- vorable to cisterns, and said the town could not-issae bonds for a system of water works without a special act of legislature, and it would be a year from now before such act could be passea. | Mayor Forbes said if the town could not issue bonds at present it could issue notes, which would practically meet the same purpose. J. B. Cherry was called upon and said not being informed as t» what a standpipe and water mains would cost he was not prepared to speak advisedly on the subject, but suggested that the meeting appoiny a committee of good business men to take the matter under consideration, and that the conclusion reached by the committee be accepted as the sentiment of the citizens of the town. . Following this suggestion a motion was adopted to appoint a committee of five, the following being selected : J. G. Moye, W. B. Wilson, Alfred Forbes, R. Greene and A. J. Griffin. On motion ot Councilman Brown the name of S.T. Hooker was added to the committee, and on motion of John Flanagan the name of Ed. La- tham, Captain of the Rough and Ready Fire Company, was added. C. M. Bernard offered the following resolution which was unanimously adopted : Ata meeting of the citizens of the town of Greenville held this day it is unanimously resolved that it is the sense of this meeting that we are heart- ily in favor of the immediate constrac- tion cf the most efficient system which will furnish sufficent water supply tor said town, Before adjournment the Board of Councilmen, all of whom were present, meeting to remain a few minutes for @ consultation, = wise A motion was also adopted that ‘the action of the committee be accepted | a8 final. : “In the discussion among the commit tee and Councilmen in the ufter meet+ ing, the fact developed. that the aenti- vor of 'a regular system of water works. papi of J.

New York for some time past has been making a big blow over ~ her broadness and magnanimity ~ and brotherly-loye and spirit of fraternity, and all that,because of the big joint parade of Federal and Confederete veterans which was to be held there on the com ing Fourth of July. The ex-reb- els were to wear gray and the ex: ~ Yanks blue. But all of a sudden the commander of the Grand Army of the Republic discovered that body to be exceedingly hos- tile to-marching side by side with - men wearing a gray uniform, a reminder of a cause which, as their commander now says, the G. A. R. “shot to death” thirty yéars ago. So after all New . York's brag and bluster, the par- ade has been declared off. This reminds us that Chicago is fast - becoming, if she is not already, the representative city of Amer- jea. Chicago is the Northern - @ity which has erected a monu- ment in one of her beautiful - parks, to Confederate soldiers - who died in prison there during the war. Chicago could never have “fizzled” as New York has, in this parade business. She would have thought twice before - undertaking such an enterprise, “and ifthe second thought was _ fayorable thereto, nothing could ~ have stopped her in making it a --Bnecess..

The crush of the broken window attracted the attention of a white man on the opposite side of the street. He pursued the negro whom he recognized as the man at the broken window. He was joined in the pursuit by a police- man, andaftera long chase the negro was overtaken. He resisted arrest, but after desperate fight ing, he was injured by a blow and carried to jail. This morning about ten ne- groes went into the store of the white man who assisted in the ar- rest, and refused to leave the store when ordered out.

HUNT. -__ Hight Thousand Birds Kitied tin - Afternoon. * lt Feemens Get See aed Every Year g@nd Devote a Day to the Exter- mination of the Little Eng~ The annual sparrow hunt is a big event in several Ohio counties. It seems to have originated in Summit county, and. to this day the hunt is conducted on a more elaborate scale in that part of the state than anywhere else. Only Fnglish sparrows are shot, and no mat: ter how many are kdled, like Koko’s victims, “they never will be missed.” Early in the month of December the farmers, having got everything stored away neatly and safely, having pro- vided plenty of. wood and having boarded up the cattle sheds for the winter, decided that. it was about time to go on the warpath for sparrows. A notice was posted up next day at Rich- neld Center to this effect: _*The annual sparrow hunt will be -held to-morrow. All are invited, Please be on hand not later than eight o’clock a, ., Jotham Potter and Cyrus Hop- respectively, and will choose sides at 7:45 a, m.” On the following mcrning nearly 100 were ready for the hunt, It armouncement in a farming communi- ty in Ohio. Especially is this true dur- ing the winter season, when there is nothing that the younger people like better than to visit around. When the hunters came together it was noticeable that nearly all of them earried guns of modern make. Very fev old-pattern pieces were shouldered by the stalwart sons of the county, and the army musket, which was so con- spicuous immediately after the war, was no longer noticeable. “City foll: hez done it all,” croaked Elder Paine. “They’ve come out here ’n’ shot quail with brich loaders ’n’ now nuthin’ will do but that ev’ry boy in the neighbor. hood must be armed with a new-fangled gun wuth more’n a hull summer's work,” As soon as the contestants could be placed in line the captains chose their men. It didn’t take long todo that, for it doesn’t require much skill to shoot [English sparrows. They are so tame thatanyone can get close enough to pop them over as fast as he can sight his gun. The hunters with the guns thai can be operated with the most speed are almost certain to be those to make the largest scores. One side went up the valley and the otuer side went down, the agreement being to hunt in a circle and come to- gether again at the center at a stipu- lated tinie in the afterngon, all sparrows to count up to the time that the con- testants should report to the score- keeper at the center. In five minutes from the time that the men started on their way the guns Legan to bang. All up and down the valley during the entire afternoon the reports filled the air until the inhab- itants might have been excused for be- lieving that a war skirmish was going on in the neighborhood. The spar- rows never had been thieker. In fact, they had been so thick during the sum- mer months that they threatened to eat the farmers out of house and home. One peculiar factabout shooting spar- rows is that thé noise of the guns seems to frighten them. only temporarily. They rapidly become accustomed to the report, as they do to everything else. They are the most complacent little upstarts that ever immigrated into the country. On Fourth of July the same characteristie is noticeable. In 80| early morning, when the first few fire- crackers or miniature torpedoes are dis- charged, the sparrows will fly away to the topmost branches of the trees or to the eaves of the barns. and houses, where they build nests, but before nightfall they are back again on the streets as chipper as ever, and only raind a firecracker long enough to fly a few feet away and sputter like the mischief when it bursts. So it is when hunting. The first discharge of weapons early in the morning sent the sparrows away to. their safest re- treats, but by noon, between hunger dreaded the,noise, they were out on the roads, in the fields, about barnyards and stealing the grain away from the chickens, as though they never had heard a shotgun. As the sun began to sink in the west late. Some of the huntérs were lucky, and shot themselves out of ammunition before they had been out two hours. Others were not,.so fortunate, and straggled in just.as daylight was about finished. It has been one of the. best days that the sparrow hunters ever had. In round numbers. 8,000 birds were | slaughtered. That averaged about, 50 }to wa man.

The intense cold causes the nails to become so brittle that it seems impossible to trim them so as to make them smooth. The possessor of such nails should cut them with nothing except well-sharpened manicure scis- sors, and the nails must never be cut or filed unjess the fingers have first been soaked in warm water. The brittleness may sometimes be lessened by rubbing almond oil thoroughly into the nails und finger ends on retiring at night. An ald pair of kid gloves must then be pulled on. The housekeeper whose nails break casily should never stir anything on the hot range without first slipping on a loose glove, as the dry heat from the fire will make her nails more brittle than ever. Neither must she allow her- self to stay out of doors for a moment without having her hands protected from the cold, which is even more in- jurious than the heat. All these pre- cautions may seem to be a bother, but in the end are worth while.—Harper’s Bazar. The Test. “Old man, I want you to be the best mun at my wedding.” “Er—I—" “What!
