M. Ellis, Oakiey Items, Oaxter, N.'@., April 13th, 1896. I want to give your readers a short sketch of a Pitt county boy who de- serves more than passing notice. “That boy is A. C. Page, con of J. W.

He has been in the service of the United States five years, having enlisted first at Fort joined the nayy and was assigned to to duty on the warship Indiana, where he has gerved three: years and a half and has} 18 months) now to serve, He obtained a leave of ubsence from his command at Port, Royal, $.. C., and knocked! at Ti); Father's - door on the night of March’ 81st for the first time in five years. He left here on Friday morning’s train for Norfolk, Va., where he was-to meet his command. He says he professes to be a thorough represen tative of the Tarheel State and upholds her honor wherever the sun shines. He i saw Japan wipe up the jearth with her. We wish him much success.

What Can’ Be Accomplished By Working Tcgether. ncn enema The REFLECTOR has bad much to Trade in Greenville and our business: men working together tor the advance- ment of the town.’ Here is a good ex- ample of what was recently done in Richmond: A short timeagoa number of the leading citizens of that city came together to discuss the best methods of increasing the trade of the city. An association was organized, and it was decided that a series of cheap excur- sions would be profitable. Last Tues- day four big excursion trains from the country | districts reached Richmond packed and jammed. ‘There was not a vacant seat or staniing room on any train. The magnitude of the thing was not foreseen by the railway compa. {nies and extra cars were not provided in sufficient “numbers. Hundreds of peuple were left at the way stations be-. cause they could not get transportation. The experiment was 0 successtul thatthe Richmond papers clamor for more excursions. They ‘say that ‘all of the excursionists purchased something and their visit made business brisk for the merthants, ‘The tourists not only did a good deal of shopping, but they took in the sights of the city, and all day long the street cars were filled with bright and happy faced men, women and children.

Stories there are of a plenty, but in the English publica- tions they mostly relate to mysterious disappearance of diamonds, or are tales of conspiracy or intrigue, and in the American product the propcsal is all introduced to the engaged couple or to the married pair.

For years before her death J was a professional gambler, and it nearly broke her heart, for she had always hoped that I would make my mark in some honorable profession. At her deathbed, three years ago, I promise ber that I would never touch another card, and I have kept my word. Inever will.” His companions were visibly affected by this candid recital, and one of them said: “I honor you for your course, and we will not play poker to-night. I suppose you went into a profession when you ceased your career as a gambler, and I hope you have been successful.” “Very,” replied the reformed card player. “In three years I am about 450,000 ahead, and I would not have been worth a dollar if I had continued in ny former course.” ‘May I ask what profession you now follow?” “Certainly. I am a bookmaker. Bet on horse races exclusively.” Then silence reigned.—Washington Star. Volcanoes and Icebergs. In recent years the size and number of icebergs seen in the south Atlantic and south Pacific oceans have both been enormous, and various suggestions have been made to account for the phenome- non. Evidently something unusual has been going on in the unknown regions surrounding the south pole. The latest suggestion bearing on this subject comes from Mr. H. C. Russell, who has presented it before the Royal Society of New South Wales. His idea, in brief, is that there has been an extraordinary outburst of the great volcanoes known to exist within the Antarctic circle, and that the consequent shaking of the ice- clothed shores of the Antarctic conti- |, nen has resulted in the breaking off of immense fragments of ice, which have afterward been driven northward by: winds and currents.—Youth’s Com- panion. Humor in the Family. “One of those lazy, good-for-nothing tramps called to-day and wanted a ‘| piece of pie,” said the landlady, during a momentary silence. The bachelor boarder faltered and laid down his knife and fork. “And did he get it?” he queried, anx- iously. “Not much,” returned the landlady; “he got a piece of my mind instead.” “Which probably destroyed his,” piped the thin boardér in the tenor ‘voice from the foot of the table. : “His what?” demanded the landlady, sternly. “Peace of mind,” explained the thin boarder, apologetically, Everybody cried out in applause at this.’ One could even hear the pea | soup and see the jelly roll. — Chicago News.
