The members of his family were in attendance upon the funeral except his BOO. L. L. Lowery, who ls lb Oklahoma. The fol lowing, from the Seneca Journal, will interest a large circle of friends: "Mr. Lowery's war record is a matter of great pride with his family, and it was always a pleasure to him ?o meet his old oomrades and talk over the old times. He served as orderly sergeant. A few years ago, on meeting a Kentle man from Virgluia, thoy were soou disoussing the war. Mr. Lowery spoke of Jaokson's death; ho was in a few feet of him when he fell. As Mr. Lowery rotates it, Jack son brought up his men after dark to pince them in position for the next day. Another oolumn was in his way, so he rode forward with his staff to And an opening. Just before leaving ?ie waved, hts hand to one side, and said: 'Boys, there is nothing that way but Yankees; fire on anything that comes!' Mr. Low ery heard tue words. It was a dark night-misty. Qen. Jaokson was either confused by the gloom and made more of a cirouit than be intended, or else, ab sorbed in plans, was inattentive to direc tion. At any rate he rode up on the side he said waa open, and his troops fired according to bis instructions. "Mr. Lowery was buried from the Seneoa Baptist church Thursday after noon at 8 o'clock, Rev. C. S. Blaokburn oonduoting the servioes." To the strioken family is extended tho personal sympathies of the writer.

" While the writer has no axe to grind, as she with ber family "took in" the great show, paying aa they went just as everybody else did. but for the information of those who did rot go and who criticised those who did go, we will say that if there was a tea ture of the show which would offend the most careful, we did not see it The various shows were good, the crowd good natured and orderly, and the managers courteous and attentive. A"remarkable 'enturo connected with the show was the absolute freedom from rowdyism, or any seeming results from whiskey drinking. Our sister town, Westmioater, is enjoy ing the carnival this week and we can almost hear tbe familiar cry of "got a walkin* oane," "Do you love oandy, candy," and "Have your fortune told by Princess Flora, etc., etc." The mayor had a case of unusual char acter yesterday wheo Claude Starks, col ored, was arraigned before him and tried on three counts, vie: assault and battery, larceny on the person and disorderly con - duot.

Gignilliat for some grips, offering to pay the boy 25 cents, when nearing Mr. Gignilliat's residence, he proposed going to the mineral spring for water, and when near the spring searched the boy for money, ill-used and threa tened to kill him if be told. He found a quarter in the boy's pocket. The boy broke from the negro and ran to town re porting the matter to the police, who ar rested Starks a little later in one of the tent shows. The Gilstrap boy lives near town and is a son of W. H. Gilstrap. Starks was fined $50 or ninety days. There are said to be three otber oases of the same nature against the darkey, the same attempt at violence having been made on other boys in town.
