Accidently KiJIed.. Early last Saturday morning Alonzo Willey was accidently shot and killed by Stephen Sneed, near Walter Ward's store about four miles west, of town. It seems that Willey was tussleing with Sneed in a friendly manner for the possession of a pistol when it was discharged killing Willey almost instantly.- Both jrties were colored. Coroner K.lertson held an inquest over V.T.':y and after hearirg all the v:.:i:l! 3 evidence placed Sneed i'-1 ft r::,0 bond reniir.;: a : . L. .

Wheri found by Thomas Hanna a neighbor and. . Deputy Sheriff Saunders the body of: the dead man was lying on a bed, his face buried ' in a ' pillow. Tightly clasped njhis right hand was a 32 caliber revolver with one shell empty.' The bullet had done its work well. It entered the cranial cavity about one inch above s the right ear and ploughed : its way toward the upper portion of the skull. Brain matter and blood oozed from the opening, which had saturated the bed : clothing on which he lay. Mr; Arrington up to" a month ago. was in tne employe oi tne . 1 t it - EmporiaManufacturing Company of this city as ' conductor of its log train, but had recently resign ed this position, . Since that time he had not been engaged in any business, but on Saturday in - conversation with friends stated that he had ' secur ed a position with a : railroad company at Newbern, N C, and would leave for that place to, ac cept the position which had been endered him.- ; No reason is assigned for Mr. Arrington taking his life other han that he was of despondent nature. It developed Sunday that the dead .man- had'. made many threats recently to take his ife, but ' nothing serious was attached to the statement: In a etter to his wife telling her good bye Mr. Arrington enclosed a check for $72. 00 for funeral expences. . - Mr. Arrington was about thirty two years ot age ana naa been a resident of North Emporia for' a number of years. He leaves a wife and two chil drenone of which is, an adopted child. The remains were turned over to Cato-Gillette Company, the North" Emporia funeral directors who prepared the body for burial, The interment was made at Bat tleboro, .N.. C. today. Emporia (Va.)

Take rne carnival, under tne man agement of the! Osterling Amuse ment Company, was 1 opened ; to the public on last Monday even ing at .Parker s lumber : yard in North Enfield. The attractions offered by this splendid company include "The Old' Plantation,' "The Country Circus.". "The Wonder Palace, " Jumbo the largest snake in captivity, the Ferris Wheel, the: Merry-go- round, , and; other features. O these the most popular seems to be the "Old Plantation' ' compos ed of ? fourteen .accomplished negro, comedians and singers who render , tne popular coon songs" to the accompaniment o the clog dance. The feature attraction of the , carnival i com pany is the "Country Circus," in which a performance is witnessed that is seldom1 seen outside o: the four-ring : circus tent. The chair balancing by Adams "and the wire walking of Larke are among the features of this at traction. Perhaps , the most startling performance or all is the knife hurling of Adams, , in which he stands off a distance of ten feet pr more and hurls large knives at his wife and ? pens her up so close that they liave to be removed before she is able to free herself. , The Ferns Whee and the Merry-go-round are the children's favorite, and f have been well patronized ; by them; All the shows with this company are clean and moral. There are none of the usual fakes and gam blers on: the. ground, a fact of which the management justly boasts. The free acts and band concerts are given every after noon and i evening. . 1 he music especially is of a very high class, being furnished; by an Italian Band; A percentage of the gross receipts is to be turned over to the Enfield Fire Department Local and Personal.'
