ern Star was represented by the
ladies Of the order in body. The
services opened by the rendering Of a
solemn dirge on the organ by Mrs. I'll.
T. Seaver, which was followed by an
anthem from the choir, of which Mrs.
Cutler had been member. A suita-
BILE Scripture service was read, and
the pastor, Rev. A. @. Swain, founded
his remarks on portion of the Psalms.
The words of the pastor were special
ly appropriate to the solemn occa-
sion and were full of tenderness and
consolation. The services were con-
Guided by fervent prayer by Rev. +.
w. Lewis of the M. E. church, and
the remains, very large procession
following, were borne to Glover for
burial
The law case between E. B. Bodweli
and Geo. II. Blake occasioned con-
siderable interest last week. The
grounds Of defense had not been
known, and it was supposed by some
that the omission of a record Of oath
made the acts of an officer illegal.
This was known to be an error by
those who had investigated the mat
ter The failure to record the oath
was, without doubt, failure Of
memory on the part Of the clerk, and
no one wished to impute blame to
him. The case was inspired by pure
malice on the part Of one whose acts
were, unfortunately such as to com
pei officers of the law to bring him be-
fore the courts for trial. Such a
circumstance is always unpleasant,
and the officer would evade it if he
could A word more is all that need
be said by us, and this is in regard to
a false and malicious article or local
item that recently appeared in the
Arqus-that medium of falsehood and
filth-in which it was claimed that the
grand Juror was in limbo on account
Of illegal proceedings and was settling
with such persons IS he had complain
ed of in the course Of his official ca
reer. It is needless to say that every
word Of the article was false. It was
doubtless written by some person,
who has suffered from misdeeds, or
who sought to bias public opinion just
at time when the court was to de-
ternine whether or not the officer did
his acts legally. To the many who
have manifested SO great a degree Of
pleasure in the outcome of this case,
with congratulations extended, our
profound thanks are due.
Inasmuch as the signal service has
established flag signals in this place
to be shown daily on the tall flag
pole of the Peerless factory, the fol-
lowing will be of interest to our read
