Register ef Deeds W. M, King hand- edus the following letter received by him which explains itself : Grimesianp, N. C., Mar.-16, 1896. Mr. W. M. Kina, Dear Sir :—I saw in last week’s is- sue of the REFLEcTOR that you made a mistake in the color of marriage license that you issued on March 2nd for J. M. Leggett and Adelaide V. Moore, and I hope to see your mistake corrected in next paper as we are white instead of colo.ed. Don’t n.glect ia correcting it, and oblige, Yours respectfully, J. M. Leccert. It is due the Register of Deeds to ex- plain how the error referred to occurred, which he tells us was in this way: It seems that at one of the landings down the river some one handed a memoran- dum to Capt. W. A. Parvin, of steamer Tar River, and asked him to get a mar- riage license for the parties mentioned thereon when he reached Greenville. Capt. Parvin went tothe Register of Deed’s office for the license, but the memorandum he had failed to give the race ot the couple and the question was asked him whether they were white of colored? He dil notknow but8said he gupposed they were colored, and the li- censewas issued and entry raade accordint ly. Of course when the Rerrector copied the list of names to whom li- censes had been issued they were taken just as they appeared on the records in the Register of Deeds’ office. However, we cheefully publish Mr. Leggett’s let- (| ter and this explanation which sets the matter right, Not to be Commended. Mr. Polk Miller, of Richmond, Va., is nv doubt a fine success in delinea- Nis negro character, but it speaks badly for North Carolinians when they are driven to employing him to lecture over North Carolina to raise money to erect the monumert to Senator Vance. We know nothing shabbier of North Carolina character than this. No one five years ago could have persuaded us that our people had so little patriotism, pride, generosity, appreciation and gratitude. In the great war the war records show that North Carolina lost in battle, killed and mortally wounded, 14,522 men, and that over 40,000 died in all during the four years. This 629,942. But after and blowing all North Carolina, now with 1,700,000 population, has not been able to raise $1,000 for a monument to the great war governer, who tought, was imprisoned, and suffered for his straining people, and was their most popular citizen, but has to call in the services of a lecturer from another state to get afew hundred more. It is a disgrace to our people. We do not pretend to understand the indifference of our peo- ple. getting the worth of your money, in order to show your gratitude and ad Going to hear a pleasant lecture, miration of Vance, is ona par with people who attend ice cream “festibles” on the plea of giving something and j doing something for the church.— Wil- mington Messenger.

Knitting and rocking away as she sat: “Look at the birds, how they build their own nests ; Watch the brown bees their best ; Put your own hands to the plow if you'd always toiling thrive ;. Don’t waste your moments in wishing, but strive.” Up in her face looked a mischievous elf, “Don’t forget darling,” said she, “help yourself.” Afternoon shadows grew drowsy and deep, Grandma was tranquilly folded in sleep ; Nothing was heard but the old farm - house clock, Plodding along with its warning tic- tock ; crash ; Pussy jumped out from the hearth in a flash. Back to her chair came this practical boy, Steep to the ears in jam, custard, and joy: Frightened, he cried : “Please, I’ve up- set the shelf ; Grandma, I minded, I did help myeelf.”’ Some Curious Epitaphs. Some of the most humorous as well as the quaintest epitaphs are to be found in New Jersey, Massachusetts, New York and Connecticut church- yards. Usually the lines tell not only of the life of the dead person, but the cause of death. Ina Hartford, Conn., cemetery is the following : Here lies two babies so dead as nitts, The Lord he kilt dem with His ague fits, When dey was too good to live mit me He took dem un to live mit He. So He did. A German in Rahway, 'N. J., noted years ago for his ability to compose and carve epitaphs, received the following from a German, which he carved on the tombstone as requested : My wife, Susan, is dead. If she’d had life till next Friday she’d been dead shust two weeks. As atree falls go must she stand. All things is im- possible mit God. In a South Carolina churchyard is this epitaph : Here lies the body of Robert Gardin— Mouth almighty and teeth accordin’; Stranger tread lightly over this wonder; If he opens his mouth you're gone, by thunder. | rent,‘ re Sun.

Mr. William Conrad, a postottice inspector who had his headquarters at Greensboro, was found dead in his bed Tuesday morning. He had been slightly sick for two days but nothing serious was thought of it. Mr. Conrad was well known through the State and was one of the best inspectors in the government postal ‘service. The Supreme Court decides that towns have aright to require dealers in second hand clothing to have them disinfected but no right to prohibit its sale, that second hand clothing is not of itself a nuisance and action in for- biding its sale can be taken only ‘when it is proved to be a- nuisance.

There has besn a lively rumpuss all along, and during the latter days of the session the mili- tary had to be ordered out to preserve peace and order. The Goveraor has no power to appoint a Senator, so that. State will be deprived of one of its votes in the upper branch of the Nat- ional Congress until a Legislature with more sense than the last one meets. tema A telegram all the way from Raleigh to Charlotte, Richmond and Wilming- ton papers of Wednesday, tells that five hundred silvcr men of all political par- ties met at Morganton on Tuesday, and , among those named who made speeches “ex-United States Senator T.

The maiden of thisend of the century has added a new accomplishment to her repertoire of arts and sciences. It is chip-carving, the most delightful and “‘ladylike” work imaginable; a ver- itable fancy work, which one’ can take up as easily as a bit of knitting or embroidery. It has the advantage of wood carving, whieh requires such a vast paraphernalia before one can be- |’ gin -operaticns, and is so noisy in the doing. that one’s conypanions must be long suffering—or deaf. English girls are devoted to chip carv- ing, but the art originated in Germany. In the neighborhood of the Black for- est one can pick up delightful speci- mens of the work. ‘Table tops, book- racks, picture frames, footstools, in fact, anything fashioned of wood is eligible for carving. White wood is the best for the purpose, and afterward it can beystained in any color—a black walnut tone brings out the carving to perfection, or white enamel paint is pretty. ‘ A novice might begin with a book- rack, one of the miniature kind which holds half a dozen or so volumes and stands on the library table. This, made of white wood, can be bought for ex- actly 90 cents. The two ends are all that require carving. The pattern, which is usually one of geometrical design for chip carving, is drawn or. traced with lead pencil. Then, with tool in hand, one sits down at one’s ease in the corner of the draw- ing-room, for the litter of chips is noth- ing to speak of and can easily be kept in the lap. . Only one tool is réquired for the work an amateur will do.’ It is a “straight” tool, and costs about 25 cents. It can be ® purchased at any hardware-shop, for Noriolk | and must be fitted with a wooder handle and extremely sharp. Indeed, it is the sliarp tool which makes the suc- cessful carver. The design is left in relief and the business, by taking the academic: course alone. Where they wish to pursue a higher “course, this School guarantees thorough préparation to enter, wich credit, any College in North Caroling or the State University.

If by chance a bit of the design is chipped off it can be glued on and will never show. However, the carver after some practice is not apt to make mistakes of this sort. As the design develops under one’s hand the work becomes quite as fascin ating as embroidery of the most se- | ductive description. It is rapid work too, and two evenings ought to suffice to carve at least one end of the book- rack, When the other end is finished the whole should be colored. A bottle of black walnut stain will be the next. investment, and two coats are usually required. Then, behold!
