Colonel Samuel Carpenter, aged 0ysars,
was buried here on Thursday. For many
years before the war he was q member OF
the General Assembly. Bong a very pop

commanded Carpenters Battery during

INCREASING TIE MAJORITY.
If the appointment to Office of Demo

BOWLING GREEN, Va, July S.-Ths Coun-

The attendance was meagre-not, proba-

lance was strong in Caroline, but the
effort made to carry it into the bosom OF
the Peoples party last fall drove out the
Democratic members IN large numbers,
and had similar effect upon the Republi-
cans, so that the p. p in the county now

II Is rumored that Mr. Pierson des res Q

the House OF Delegates. and If this is true
he will get il. as he practically carries the
party, but it will be On empty aonor, as
he can command no vote outside oil his

members will support Democrat IN pre-
