The river still continues to fall, and
since our last report has fallen nearly
one foot. At this rate we will soon
have low water and high rates of
freight. The Steamer G. H. Durfee,
passed down Thursday night with a
full trip. She was five days out from
Shreveport, and reports the river at
that point falling rapidly, and water
getting shallow on the cold bars"
The regular packet Flcta, failed to
come to time on Thursday, but will 60
down at her usual time to-day, The
Belle Rowland is due up to-day, and
the Bossier will probably pass down
tomorrow.
Fine weather for the Cotton planter,
picking is nearly through, and the
yield has been good. Sugar planters,
all most of them rolling, but stopped
this week to windrow their cane. It
is feared the cane has been injured to
some extent by the two heavy frosts
of the LIST and I'd inst.
Weather is beautiful but need rain
badly.

She said. You'd better try it,"
I took the toll-a generous dole
Despite her stout resistance.
Said she, "The rate is very great
For such q triiling distance"
If 10 you say, take back tho pay
To each minutest fraction;
For your sweet sake Ill gladly take
A lesson in subtraction.
She whispered, "Nay, your taking away
Has robbed inc Of dozen;
But you're)no kin, - don't begin

We Journey on through shade and sun,
Regardless Of tho distance,
And every day the toll we pay
That sweetens our existence.

Our VIsITORs.-Early in the
morning on the day Of the election
Capt. Snow, Of Ozark fame, rode
into town with troop of U. s.
Cavalry, and remained until late in
the evening on Tuesday. They
were not noticed by anybody on
election day any more than if they
had not been here, and must have
felt mighty chop-fallen. AS intim.
idators they were mighty poor
shakes! They didn't scare anybo-
dy that we know of! The result OF
their coming was that the Radical
majority OF this precinct instead of
being 400 or 500, was only 1888, and
right here too, where they came to
force them to vote the Radical
ticket. Bully Cavalry! Come
again another time! They were
the very best canvassers we could
possibly have had. On Tuesday
Capt. Snow inspected the Court
House, and was not at all pleased
with the status of things in the Tax
Collectors Office. Our friend Mike
Legras, gave him some pretty plain
talk, which plainly meant that it
was none of his Capt. Snow's) bus
mess, how he managed his Office.
Then his mightiness, Capt. Snow,
wanted to know of Kelso what
sort Of hell Of q crowd he had
down there anyhow p Oh, how

now camped in tho Court House
yard in this town, under the com
mand of Maj. Belger, who is a cour-
teous and gentlemanly officer, much
respected by all our citizens,
brought to the Sheriff in charge, a
written offer of the use of the Court
House itself as well as tho yard
from Kellogg, the Usurper, to Gen.
Emory, approved by him and EN-
dorsed by Major Lewis Merrill, the
Notorious. They are campcd in

like crushing the civil au-
thority of the government, but have
their store room and warehouse in
one of the newly finished rooms of
the Court House, which being spe-
cially devoted by the Police Jury
to the use of the Parish Surveyor,
looks like a kind of overriding

The Kanawha Chronicle is well
known to be Governor Jacobs or
gan at Charleston, and it is of
course, expected TO make all the
capital possible against the So
called democratic ring. Some
charges when made by an organ
do not need any reply, but here is
one which, if the figures are
correctly stated, is sufficient to
overthrow the most powerful
party combination. Let our peo-
pie read it, and If it remains I'M
explained, they can Judge what
has become of their money. 1t is
as follows:
The appropriation of the Legis-
lature of a year ago amounted to
$476, 218, and the appropriations of
the Legislature just before its final
adjournment to pay members was
$40, 636, making total of $500, 554.
This was what was appropriated
for one year-a greater amount
than ever appropriated by the
State since her birth. Besides
this. an appropriation bill was de-
feated just before adjournment
amounting to $11S,500; part of
which was to pay borrowed
money used to pay members of
the Legislature for their services
and part ofit topay the teachers
OF Normal schools, and all of it
needed before the meeting Of the
next Legislature. These items
foot up $624,954! This is nearly
$500 900 more than ever before re-
quired to run the State govern
ment. This is one branch of the
subject not at all comforting to a
citizen of the State.
Martinsburg weekly independent. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1873-1875, 1874-02-28

The head was perforated in sever
al places, and there were three
large wounds in the heart, any one
of which would have proved fatal.
There were found on the body but
very few articles, among which
were bunch Of keys and copy
of the Wilmington Weekly Post.
This latter, which is now before
me as | write, is perforated
through with a hole almost large
enough to have been made hy a
MIME ball, and in another !, ace
the paper is torn, it is though by
a second ball.
The outlaw was armed Ia the
teeth, there being found Oh his
person when killed a Henry rifle,
three pistols, and a knife with a
blade about twelve inches in
length. He was only about twenty
eight or twenty-nine years of age.
Like all the rest of the outlaws,
his earthly career has been cut
short before he had reached the
prime of life. He is said to have
been the most cowardly, and at
the same time the most treacher-
Gus and vindictive of them all.
Rhody Lowery, the widow of
the defunct chief, Henry Berry
Lowery, was among the crowd at
LumbertOn to-day. 1t is said
that she seemed actually reioiced
to learn that the last of the gang
had gone to his long account. 1t
is understood that Rhody wanted
to marry again, but that Steve
had threatened to kill her if she
did so. There are many persistent
persons who believe that Henry
Berry Lowery is not yet dead; it
is even asserted that he has recent
ly been seen in New York city.
The rewards for the killing of
Steve Lowery amount in all to
$4,000, and this amount will be
paid over to the three young men
who killed him. The dead out
law is said to have been recently
but the ghost of his former self.
He was formerly stout and ro-
bust, but had become pale and
thin of late. Since the killing of
Tom Lowery he has kept pretty
close to the swamps; but the
music of a Tobacco and whiskey
caravansary was more than he
could resist. To his love of the ar
dent may be directly traced his
death. He was older than Henry
Berry Lowery, who was in fact
the youngest of the brothers in the
gang.
