Beate Violin playing is the present fashion like to get a beau on the string. Among the Romans the emblem. of! sub rosa. A Kansas court has ruled, that. a man, who calls upon a woman regularly and takes her to entertainments ocea- sionally, is legally engaged to marry her. When an office seeks the man in these degenerate days, it doesn’t -have to walk ten steps from the door before it finds a willing recipient. Down in Kentucky, in order to show their high estimation of a young lady, able female accomplishment. The girls |’ secrecy was the rose ; hence the phrase her friends got up a dog fight in her honor. And it is said that the young lady thought it was perfectly “lovely.” When an Indiana octogenarian took out his sixth marriage license the other day at Greensburg, to marry an 18. year-old girl, he asked for a reduction in the price on the ground that he had been a good customer and that he was likely to “come again.” LATE NEWS. “cera eiesate tent Democratic conventions were held in silver at the ratio of 16 to one.

I write this as an earnest invitation to every follower of our Lord Jesus in Greenville and vicnity to unite with us in the efforts we are making to ad- vance the cause of Christ in our town. Many ways open for ecch to help. 1. Come and come promptly. dSer- vices at 10 A. M. and8 P. M. 2, Join in the songs and freely aid in the work, remembering that it is your Father’s house and your Father’s work. 3, Consecrate your varied powers to the work and follow the Spirit’s guidance both during the services and at other times. It. is possible that some willing hearts may of necessity be prevented from this active co-operation but all can aid “by way of the throne.” Izet- every one whio loves the cause of Christ pray for this work. N. H. D. Witson. Not Flagged, But Withdrawn.° Mr. J. E. Hancock, of Scotland Neck, calls the attention of the REFLECTOR to an incorrect report of his horse in oar issue of the 16th giving an account of Wednesday’s races. In the fifth heat of the first race his horse, Orphan, was reported flagged when he was with- drawn, Mr. Haneock having gone to the judges after the feurth heat and asked permission to withdraw his horse. Orphan had come in last on every heat save one, but the gentlemen who re- ported the races. for the. Reriector used ‘the term “flagged” with ito: inten” tion of doing any injustice, IIvn, ‘Thomas J, Tavis has ‘aceepted anvinvitation to deliver the ‘litérary ‘ad- Two persons were killed, two proba- bly. fatally injured and two others se- fously hurt by lightning at Wallace, Saturday night at Philadelphia the old Pennysivania railroad depot, eight Pullman cars and thirty passenger coaches were destroyed by fire. The loss is estimated at $350,000. ‘Two firemen were killed and several others injured by falling walls. - Look After the Cemetery. Councilman W. L. Brown, who is cummitteeman to look after Cherry Hill cemetery, has had a talk with the RerLector about some needed im- provements to the cemetery. The only funds available for doing any work there is what arises from the sale of lots, and such sales occur 80 seldom that not sufficient money comes in to keep up necessary repairs. Sometime ago the hard winds blew down much of the fencing, and the grounds also need cleaning up, but the amount on hand lacks about $10 being enough to do this work. We undetstand that seme young ladies will call on the citizens for contributions to help on the work and they should mect a cheerful re sponse. It would be well if the money arising from the occasional sale of lots could be used only for adorning the cemetery, and some other means-devised. to-yraise what is needed for keeping .up repairs and cleaning out the grounds. In this way it could be made far more “attrac- tive than it nowis. The cemetery should at-no time be neglected or show a want of care. Silver Wedding.

One of the not recaptured for over 48 hours. Allowing tigers and other wild animals to escape out ef confinement seems & common event in Mysore. During the time of the late maharajah one got out of his cage in the menagerie, and also during his father’s reign a tiger loafed all over the fort a whole day, going in and out of people’s houses, but strange to'say, on none of these occasions has anyone been injured. The tiger in the present instance is one which is kept by his highness’ dairy to keep away the “evil eye” from the cattle. He was netted for Lord Lans- downe to shoot when his excellency visited Mysore a few years agé and isa splendid brute. The dairy is a very large yard, with open sheds all round, in which the cattle are tied, the tiger’s cage being Close to one end and a foun- tain near.the other. The tiger got out about seven p. m. and calmly strolled around, the pluce being full of cattle und people at the time; but,fortungte- iy. he had tid desire; whatever to taste stallfed | beefy or -Hindoo either, .al- though he fasbed within a few feet of the cows and the meh, and after exam- ining them all quietly lay down by the fountain.
