/, John i. Dixon, certify that on the
Goth day of February, 1896, j.. w.
Jones came to me in Raleigh and urged
me to 90 with him to Princeton, john
ston county, to aid in arresting some
parties for violations of the Revenue
Laws At that time he had several
United States warrants in his posses
sion. He proposed to give me $500 a
day. SAYING Mr.. Carroll would pay
me that amount He was also to divide
his fees with me. He said Carroll sent
him and gave a guarantee OF 800 per
month whether he made an arrest or
not. This conversation took place in
Raleigh and Jones was sober then. We
went that day to Princeton. Mr.. Jones
got drunk and continued In that condi-
ton and left him.

This correspondent is in no way

ton In which Mr.. Jones finds himself.
Read his card in the News and Obser-
yer of the 18th inst, in which ne
rlishes to the rescue Of Mr.. Carroll
and then read the statements Of Mr..
He1ndon, Mr.. Rogers and Mr.. Dixon.
Mr.. Dixon says Mr.. Jones was sober
when he employed him to go with
him to Johnston, pormising him that
Carroll would pay him $500 q day. Mr.,
Rogers says Jones told him Carroll
was to furnish man to go with him.
Corroborated all through. Don't II
look strange that Mr.. Jones, sharp,

One beautiful evening in May shexiied:
One beautiful evening in May,
The dew was descending to bless the flowers
The beautiful dew,
The baylmy dew,
Descending to bless the flowers;
Her life was lovely light went out,
A lovely light went out;
I cannot describe its ray SO pure,
soft and visible light,
A beautiful light.
Lighting my pathway here below
When the way was dark, a celestial spark,
I cannot describe its ray,
could not hold 1t here
1t was not of the earth, but of heavenly birth.
could not keep it here;
Only the clay is left to-day,
To mix with its mother earth.
But the light ofmy life, my beautiful wife
She has flown, has flown away.
She has gone but where, to the upper air,
cannot follow her now.
That soft light ray, to happier day,
cannot follow her now.
Angels so fair, of the upper air,
Thou vast messenger here,
Sent to nourish a stronger tree,
tree to hold thy memory here;
To keep thy memory here.
Blessed for ages yet to come,
Blessed for aye, in.her angel home,
A beautiful memory here.
Sweet one from us thou art gone away,
Our tears are nothing, thou could not stay,
But thy spirit hovering a guardian near,
Plying, smiling, lowering near,
Oh loved one rest, for US it is best,
But hover around us here.
Angel of light to us it is night,
To us it is night,
For the ray Is gone that lit us anon,
The beautiful ray cannot describe >.
The light passed with the light Of day,
That passed in the beautiful evening in May,
Away to thy spirit home above,
Thou art gone.
Thou art gone My beautiful love-

JUNE MAGAZINES.

The cosnaopolitan's table of con tents
is most inviting this month. Gen.
Miles article on "War," an editorial
on the Independence of Cuban and
poem "The Immortal Three' by
Robert Burns Wilson, ARE the most. not
able contributions. "Hilda Stafford,,'
California story by Beatrice Harra-
den has a pathetic ending, and seve raj
popular writers contribute to the de-
rartment Of fiction. The cover is very
appropriate to the N onth of roses.
"MeClure's" celebrates its third an
niversary with this number. Il is in
deed magazine of great merit, hav-
ing won popularity almost beyond
precedent. ''The Life of Abraham
Lincoln" continues to be the chief at
traction in the new volumn, "Grant
as Colonel" is also very interesting
contribution giving many war reminis-
cences. They are portraits of Mark
Twain and stories by Rudyard Kip
ling, Stephen Crane, Anthony Hope
and Cy Warman, besides other contri-
buttons on art, biography, etc.
Mr.. j. B. Bishop, one of the editors
of the New York Evening Post,n
contributes an interesting article in
the June Century" on '.The Humor
and Pathos of Presidential Conven-
tic us" in which are many entertaining
stories of Clay, Webster, Seward,
Greeley, Bl aine, Sherman and others
at the time Of their defeat. Notes on
the City Government of st. Louis'' is
of special interest at this time. The
Woman question is lightly touched
upon in "Sayings and Doings Of The
Todds" story by Viola Roseboro'
and there are several other very pleas
ing stories in this number, the "Her-
shaw Bride'' by Mrs. Mary Hall0ck
Foote, being brought to happy finish.
The Ladies Home Journal is inter-
esting and attractive both in its liter
ary and artistic features. The leading
article is "Mrs. Stowe at Eighty-fye,n
in which the venerable authoresS is
tenderly portra yed in the closing year,
of her eventful life. Mrs. Whitney,
in her letters to girls, writes of appear
ance and apparal and gives her girl
friends some wholesome and timely
advice as to where withal they shall
clothe themselves. The Editor writes

speaks out boldly of their baneful In

June roses is suggested by the Journals

with poems and pictures.
In response to the general demand
for information about the new Car,
whose coronation at Moscow has been
the world-event of the past month. tho
ReuietU of Reuieus for June publishes ! Z
