MUNFORD, NEXT DOOR BANK. | great many of our towns and cities are ANOTHER PITT BOY WRITES. VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY, ) NASHVILLE, TENN. March 4th. j Epiror Rerrector :—For time I have been thinking of writing a short letter to the Reriectror, but I some reasons. This evening, however, while I am alone in my study, too weak to be engaged closely with my duties on ac count of the recent attack of sickness from which I am just recovering, and while the cold rains without assist in my’ longer consignment to the hallowed confines of my sacred room,! will amu s€ myself for awhile by writing. I have. often thought pleasantly of our little city, but I had not realized bow much I loved it until I read an account of the sad mistortune that recently befell it. It was indeed sad. Butlet us us not grieve too long over the misfortunes of the past. ' The past is gone, the present is ours, and the future is before us, We hold the magic keys that unlock the future and reveal to us all the possibilities that she has in store for us. Let us not try to retrieve the past by lamenting ‘one loss, but by moving for- ward in greater strides along those lines hitherto neglected. Greenville has made rapid progress during the past few years but she has left undone some very necessary things. Among these is a good water supply. A fire engine with no water is of little assistance to a town in time of fire. I congratulate the town in its suc- cessful: attempt in securing electric lights. This has been much needed for some time, but something needed much more is the erection of factories. No town is complete without them. A at last realizing this truth and begin- ning to build them. Why does Green- yille not share the profits ; and while a few energetic men are laboring 80 faithfully in the tobacco interest ot the town, why does uot some one embrace the fleeting opportunity and at this, the most opportune time, endue the town with new life by setting a laudable ex- ample ? But I began this letter for my own amusement and not for the town’s in- junction. I intended — telling you something of interest at and about Nashville, but I have been drawn away to u spot possessing far more interest for me and have allowed myself to dwell upon things concerning my native town. But I hope that in the near future the desire of the writer may be realized and the hum of factories may be heard in our town ; then will this letter not liave been written in vain. J.T.

A Barn and Store burned at Parker’s X Roads—Incendiary Ongin Supposed. About 10 o’clock on Monday night a bright light was seen in a northern direction from Greenville and upon investigation it proved to be at Par- ker’s X Roads, about two miles from town. From parties who went over there the following: A gmall light was discovered in an old barn back of a vacant store on the northeast corner and in afew minutes we learn it was in a light blaze, soon commnica- ting with the store and burning both to the ground. ‘The store on the op- posite side of the road occupied by B. F. Anderson, was in imminent dan- ger, aud all the goods were removed , but by strenuous efforts the house was saved. The orizin of the fire is not known but it is thought the torch was applied by some miscreant. ‘The barn and store belonged to the Fleming es- tate. We could not learn whether there was any insurance or not. W. S. Fleming had a lot of corn and fodder stored in the barn and it was entirely consumed, Loss about $500. Oakley Items. Oak ey, N.

Tcespay, Marcu 107, 1896. om, Awhite man named Lew Palmer attempted the ruin of little six year old girl in Salisbury. The cries of the girl attracted her father to her rescue just in time to save her. The man was promptly arrested and placed in jail. When arraigned for trial next day he said he was drunk and did not know what he was doing, but under examina- tion he made very contradictory stute- ments. such a crime on a six-year-old child is too black-hearted a villian to be allowed to go at large. Making Heroes of Criminals. When Brown and Satterfield were convicted in Wake Superior Court, some fusionist immediately proposed that these convicted men be nominated and elected to an important position in order to show that a small thing like conviction by a jury had no other ef- fect than to make the convicted par- ties more popular. A few days betore the last election, in a row caused by his attempt to brewbeat a Democrat registrar, a man by the name of Wilcox shot and killed the registrar. He was convicted and sentenced to the penitentiary for fifteen years, An appeal was taken to the Supreme Court, and a new trial was granted. Judge Russel ° appeared for Wilcox and when he heard from the »Supreme Court, he telegraphed to Elizabeth City ; “Court with us. Tell Wiicox he is my man for Governor. I want to make the nomination speech.” —Raleigh News and Observer. brereeemarermeant en oY In setting the compensation of the laboring man the ruling thought of employers should not. be what is the lowest sum I will be compelled to pay them but what ought he to be paid that 1 may obtain a fair profit and allow his family to live like human beings.

George McCall, the veteran Baptist preacher, when it was authen- tically stated that Mr. McCall’s great- grandfather lived to the ripe old age of 127 years. He was a bachelor at 100 and took a notion to get married. He carried out this idea and was married. Three sons were born to him, and he lived to see the oldest son old enougk to vote. This was considered remarkable, but: a gentleman in the crowd, whose char- acter and standing religiously and so- cially are above reproach, told an au. thentic account of the life of his great- uncle, who was one. of Georgia’s pio- neer citizen. This old gentleman lived to be 130 years old. He lived in a log cabin, in the northern end of which was cut a square hole. Theold man turned the head of this bed to that hole, and slept that way in-the warmest and cold- est of w eather. His wife died when he was about 90 years old, and for many years he lived as a widower. At theage of 115 he cut an entirely new set of teeth, and at the age of 123 one morn- ing he saddled his own horse, sprang into the saddle, and rode 30 miles to address a widow and ask her to be.his wife. Ife evidently was rejected, for he rode back that day'and lived seven years longer.—Shelbyville Gazette. LAND SALE.
