Mr. Clisby remarks were based on " It is better to go to the house of mourning than the house of feasting ", and were appropriate and impressive. On the right of the church the volunteers, under the command of Capt. Carnes, were seated, and they escorted the remains to the cemetery.
The following gentlemen acted as pallbearers: Messrs. Luther Williams, J. W. A. P. Whittle;Thomas N.Conner,
