ing about not going to the Centennial,
and being scared because of Mrs.
Nix" suddenly taking leave for that
delectible exposition, and q thousand
and one other ctcetras, is my excuse.
am just as poor as an Editor. Of
course all editors have had to stay at
home and work on-work' eyer-so
poor that they can see nothing like
other people; and now l can more
fully appreciate the duties of all you
editors. An editor has to stay at
home to look after other peoples bust
ness, and certainly as consequence
all such are poor. Well, other peo~
pie will not look after themselves,
and it becomes an editors business,
and he must look to it or all would
be lost. If an editor did not stay at
home, who would announce every
bodys name in the papers who goes
TO the Centennial and when lie re-
turns. Why, no body would do it,
and therefore the editor must stay
home, work hard and die poor, with.
ont monument 10 his grave to
mark the spot of him who served
every body but himself, and could
not aerve himself because of serving
every body. And right here, while
l think of it, l would remark: A
D 'ctor is just like All Editor. Look
NJ the two words that represent us.
Alth"ngh they start out differently,
vet they end alike die alike, poor.
II you do not believe it, look at the
three words: Editor, ID 'ctor, Poor
all end in "ur." The ditfet ence be-
fwceu the two hardest-tO -do-without
personages-Editor, d ,ctur-is, the
Editor las to stay at home TO serve
every b"dy, and the Doctor has to
20 every where to serve every body.
In thei1~retnnneration they are just
"like-they serve every body for
nothing. Perhaps the reason ] am
too. poor to see 'Pnilom York." is
because am both of the "qui!r' and
the "pill." Notwithstanding every
body has gore, or is going Centen-
nial-ward, there is lots of thrift in
Greenville. What it is doing the
lively l cannot see; tor every body
says there is no money, and yet |

great boot and shoe store Of thar
very worthy "Tar-heel," W. Boyd,

there at one glance I discovered thar
all who have feet Except Editors and
Doctor6) must wear shoes, even if
shod by the purse of dishonesty; and
to "Boyd's" "a household word here)
is the place to get any thing your
numerous readers may desire, from
q cork sole to the finest boot or gait
er. / can recommend every budy,
the old woman and the cook to go
to Boyd's; and then without taking
time to breathe, would say, as a
favor to yourselves, and all " no read
this article to call and see that tried

can find any thing you want in the

Now, Mr.. SENTr Eb, We are hav-
ing q grand one sided political cam>
paign in Greenville, as the radS have
not put in an appearance since our
great Hampton meeting on the 7th
ult., although one said to me that a
vast lot of banners and other para
phernalia had been ordered made in
New York, for grand jubilee nere.
