Mr. GrliHHley'a Fattier SI nkt- t Statement Defending IIIm (Son. Snow Hill, N. 0., Dec. 31, '01- Motives of delicacy, which I im sure a just public sentiment will du ly appreciate, have thus far operated to prevent the publication by me of any statement In connection with the two attacks of my eon, William E. Grimsloy, on tho Rev. J. T. Ah" ernetby. I would now spare the public this additional infliction after 80 mueh has been feaid and written about those affairs if I could feel that a longer Bilence would be com patible with my duty to those who are near and dear to me. It has been published tnat I and my entire family denounced the con duct of my eon in attaoking Mr. Ab ernethy. Thii stat;ment is abso lutely false, and it could not have been given to the public for any other purpose than to Rive a color of excuse for the wrong-doing of one whose holy calling should have made him avoid the very semblance of evil, and especially the temptation of the innocent. So far from de uouncing William's conduct we have felt all aloDg that it was natural end excusable and, indeed, justifiable, in an honorable and high-spirited man under the provocation which led to it. His pure and Btain1cs3 wife joins us in this sentiment. In this connection I beg leave to say that that noble and devoted wife and Christian woman, all through thefce unfortunate circumstances,bas not .suffered any diminution of the respect and esteem and confidence which have bo long been accorded her (as it surely vr is her due) from my entire family and all who knew her. Her husband and all "within my gates" and this entire coram nni ty with one voice and one accord acquit her most freely and fully of the slightest purpose to do wiong. A trusting and confiding naiuie, zealous in the cause of religion aiul the advancement of the interests of her church, simply tailed to detect criminal wiong in the approaches of ouo who was her pastor aud spiiit ual adviser, when she herself was too pure to suspect a corrupt mo tive and there was no open disclos ure of actual criminal purpose. Wo earnestly beg that uo blame be vis ited upon her unoffending head. In due time I ieel confident that my sou's conduct will be successiuliy vindicated, but his vindication will not be (for It caimot truthfully be) at the expense of her honor and htr good name. W. P. Grimsley. P. S. Will all tho newspapers in which the slander mentioned above was published be so kind as to copy the foregoing statement. W. P. G. Mr. Griiiitley Makes a Stale uieiif. Snow Hill, Jan. 1, 1892. To the Editor of The Reflector : I have just been shown a copy of your paper of the issue of December 23d, which does me serious injustice through misstatements of facts which I am sure you have made on Iy on information which you deemed reliable, and from no purpose on your pari to injure me or mislead the public mind. I regret the ne cessity that compels another state ment to be giveu to the public con cerning the two attacks which 1 made on Rev. J. T. Abernethy ; but as a matter of pimple justice to my character 1 have respectfully to ask that you will give me the privilege of correctiug,turough your columns, the erroneous statements alluded to, and also to refute slanderous re ports which have been seut out through the press of tho country on the subject named. A man who de fends the sanctity of his home, and especially the purity and honor of his wife even by use of violent meth ods (which are often the only effect ive oues) may as a general rule well content himsclt with silence amid the exaggerated stories to which such eminences invariably give rise, in the certain assurance that a just public sentiment will sooner or later see he bus his due and that truth shall triumph. This is the course I much preferred to pursue m regard to this matter' and only the peculiar nature of some of the charges referred to impels me to break that sileuce now. It is charged that I invited Mr Aberjethy to my home to go bunt ing with me wilh the view of get ting him withiu my power for the purpose of assaulting him. This is utterly false. The only semblance o! truth it contains is that on the Siturd-iv before the Tuesday on which the first shooting occurred he informed me that he would come lover to my house on tho last named day to go bird hunting with me, to which I assented. It is true I had previously had reason to euspept that he bad in his mind the impure design that at last produced the crisis, but my firm conviction of my wife's unsullied virtue fwhich has never yet for a moment been shak en) aud the friendship aud esteem I bad entertained for him lolled those suspicions to sleep, and I met him kindly wbeu be came. But conduct of his after his arrival gave me fresh cause to believe that I had not erred in my previous misgivings. This alone led me to secrete myself (which I loathed the uecessity of doing) that I might have ocular proof whether I had wroaged a friend by such a susp'cion or bad rightly weighed and measured his motives and if the latter, to pun ish him as he richly deserved lor his devilish purpose and effort, cods cealed under a cleiical robe, to tempt (even though unsuccessfully) the virtue of which God and the law of my country made me the de fender. It is charged that my wife and I had been on bad terms and that 1 bad abandoned her. This is infa rooisly false. Our relations towards each other were kind, loving and confiding, and 1 was faithf ally and laboriously endeavoring to main tain her and tho little one- with which God had blessed our uuion. As to the second attack, it is charged that 1 advanced on Mr. Ab ernethy as he was peaceably walks ing the street while he showed no disposition to have a difficulty aid was not expecting one. The truth is he was warned that I was down town, and that the sight of him might again inflame my anger, and his wife and others (as I am reliably informed) besought him to remain at borne; Despite tbe-je warnings and entreaties he armed himself and walked down the street, remarking that be could shoot as well as I. I was informed that he was down town, and I was preparing to leave when I saw him comiug in the di rection of me while I was going to ward my buggy, He walked with the air of oue (as it seemed to me and others) who was at least will ing for the fray. The flame which for days I had smothered by a great effort, kindled anew, and I advanced toward him and drew my pistol and he drew his, and we began firing aK most simultaneously, and continued the contest with the result that is well known. It is alleged that the entire coin tnunity denounced my condnct and that threats of lynching were freely made. This is also without any foundation in fact. The lynching business, it it had been attempted would not have been healthy ; espe cially, in view of tho host of friends who were willing to give me all the physical aud moral aid in their pow er. I am proud to feel and know that the great majority of the peo ple of mycouoty those who do uot feel that a libertine should be shel tered from punishment when he in vades a virtuous and happy home, even though he wears the name and garb of a minister of the Most High are with me and for me in this matter. While 1 regret the fact that I was brought face to face with Mr, Abernethy, and thus my anger be came aroused beyoud my control on the second occasion named, I never theless do uot reproach myself lor inflicting upon him the punishment he then received. The good, true and devoted wife (whose innocence my victim sought, though in vain, to beguile) assures me that I did right; the p'evailing voice of the best men and women iu my community is one of sympathy with me ; I cau afford to await the final verdict without fear of the result. Respectfully, William E. Grimsley. u hat tne iterator said two .weeks ago was based wholly on what a gentleman from Snow Hill told us, as stated at the time, and we thought the information he gave to be perfectly reliable. Not wish ing to do Mr. Grimslty any injust ice we cheerfully give space for his statement. Ed. I When Baby was sick, we gave her Castoria.

It was our privilege last summer to visit that Mecca of American pil grimage, the battlefield oi Gettys burg, The time was night, and the sweet, sad moon of August came gliding up into the sky. As one looked out from the farfamed heights of Cemetery Hill, the gleam of marblo monuments in the moon'6 light was all around. They have been erected by loving comrades to mark the spot where thousands fell and died. Close : at hand was the National Oemetery, with its white shaft and the figure of Liberty crowning the whole, standing out distinct against the sky. The shadowy past grew very r:al. There seemed to dawn anew the mornings of those three bloody days. It was not '91 bac '63 and the great armies, like two gi gantio sinuous serpen" belching fire and death, evolved their fight be fore our very eyes. Again there was the sound of hurryiugs tc 'and fro ; again the trumpet's voice pro claimed the sword'a pleading of a mighty cause. Then the strife ended, amid the chords of a vast march, like to the music of a ( oronation anthem, and the infinite cavalcades filed back in to the shades whence our fancy had recalled them. Leaving the hill, we walked down through woodland and field to the pivot of struggle the Bloody An gie. Here brave Armistead, Cash? ing anp many others fell, friend and foe in one red burial blent. But it was no longer what its gruesome name implies. For the dream of fond imaginings returned, and it had changed its form. Again the two armies" wefe pres ent, but not in the embrace of death. They had clasped hands across that old stone wall toward whiob Pickett's legions vainly rushed. In the distance was the historic Uords eroy barn, a black specter against the light, flooded landscape-,and one could catch the faiut murmer of a little stream as it wound down the valley of death. The tall forms of Hancock and Meade and the lovely face of Lee were conjured into very vivid like ness as one stood there. They aro no longer foes but friends now, in the land beyond. And the blue and the gray are forever one. We returned to the little town iu the valley, carrying away a prob lem. It was this: These heroes: why their death ? This awful car nage : what its meaning ? And here is our solution : Triey died that our uatiou might arise and mfke its dead self a stepping-stone to nobler things. Their sacrifice was made to assist that on ward, upward evolutiou of a land to which God has committed the desN times of the west. They fougnt nei ther for lust of blood nor greed of gold, but to enlarge and confirm the highest good of their country, and its people. Let us be as true to their example as they were to our interest. N. F, Ledger. For Fatlier and Mother. Do not mother at your houqe work, father iu your study do not bo always "too busy.'"

Among the visitors at the South Side public Schools last Friday was a retired farmer, uncle of one of the pupils. Observing that her gaest appeared much interested iu the children, the teacher iuvtted him to favor the school with a few remarks. "Children," said the visitor in a kindly but brusque mauner, "how many of jou ever saw a load of po tatoes going to market!" Only a few bands went op, for Chicago school children are not so favored iD that line as their country cousins. "Well," coutiuued the guest, "any one who sees a load of potatoes go-? ing to market will notice that only the big ones are on top. The little ones are at the bottom. Iu the sha king up that the load gets in going to market the big potatoes crowd the little ones to the bottom. This world of ourg, ray little friendi, may be compared to a load of potatoes going to town. The people are the potatoes. You, here in the sohool, are preparing to be a part of that load of potatoes, and to take your chances iu the fhakiog ip which comes in getting before the public and makmg a success in life. In school ia where you begin to be either a big or a little potato. If you are learning your lessons and working hard to stand high in your class, it mearis that you are going to be a big potato when you leave school and go out into the world. If you are failiug to study your less sons it means that you are to be a little potato in the world, a potato that is not much good aud oue that nobody will have much use for. Study hard I Get every lesson per fectly ! Then you will be bright and intelligent, aud when you go into the world yoa will be on top, and people will pay well to secure you." Ghicago Tribune. A Pea Picture, In an exchange we find the vivid picture of many a man who is re garded as being iu good and regu lar standing in the church : "If ne would talk with bis own heart, the conversation would be something like this : If other members of the church gave no more to support tbe cause of Christ, iu proportion to their ability than I do, most of the churches in the country would go down, If my brethren gave no more to support the missionary work of the church than I do, the church would have to recall every one of its home and foreign missionaries ! If every other member of onr con gregation neglected the ordinances of religion as I do, there would be many a Sunday that the preacher would not have a siugle hearer ; there would not be a prayer-meeting in all the land ; every closet of prayer would be filled with cob webs, and every family altar would bo moss grown 1" Ex.
