HELLO, CENTRAL
Anything new this week I?

Yes, a great drive in the shape
Of (; new top, THE Mystery" It
far excels all others. Simple,
durable, cheap. Made from best
steel and iron; will last forever.
Readily spins with aid of fore fin
ger and thumb. In addition to its
spinning qualities it will do what
no other top will do. This makes
it the lord of tops. It hustles
and waltzes around on both pin
and blunt point, and plays with
various articles--hair-pins, pens,
needles, etc. Tt is made on scien-
tifc principles and intended more
for home indoor pleasure. Old
folks as we'll as the youngsters
enjoy its antics. It will do with
a steel pen what the most expert
penman cannot do. There is more
solid enjoyment in it's work than
any top ever made. The cheap
ness of the top will give all a
chance to buy. Only ten cents.
We are agents for the company
and have a large supply Oh hand
at THE CENTRAL

\ lady who recently went to Ch,rles-
ton met with a loss in mysterious
manner. In her valise, which was
clasped, not locked, and placed with
the baggage, were pair of shoes and a
pair of slippers. On reaching the city
and wishing change of shoes she
opened her valise to find a package con-
tanning one shoe and a slipper. When
she returned home she was told that
both pairs had been put in the valise-
shoe and slipper together. She
thought this could not possibly be so,
aud opened the satchel to disprove the
statement, when to her dismay the
shoe and slipper had disappeared. The
only solution Of the mystery was that
somewhere, between Helena and
Charleston. one bundle containing a
shoe and slipper was taken and the
other left to disappear on the return.

De.th of Andrew j. KiIgore.

Our community was shocked When
the announcement was made last SAT
urday night, the 18th instant, that An
drew J. Kilgore was dead. His Illness
was short, and it was not generally
known that he was sick. It can be
truthfully said that good man has
gone. Scarcely could any other man
have been taken from US Who would
have been more missed. His church,
his reighbors, and in word the entire
county will feel his death. He was
born and passed his whole life on the
place where he died. He went with
the first companies that left this coun-
tv for the late war and made a gallant
soldier, doing his full duty there-a;s
was bis rule through life: He, with
Col &c. S. Brown and Col. Wm. Les
ter. was elected County Commlssloner
in 1882 and the Board was said to be
one of the best the county ever had. me
last wears of his life were spent on the
farm with his children, his wife having
oreceded him to the grave. his re-
mains were buried at Ebenezer ceme-
terv on Monday afternoon, followed oy
a large concourse Of sympat6lzing
friends from almost every section o.
the county. He was in his hfty-nln'n
