Inquest*
Awful in its suddenness mid harrowing
in its form was the death
of Mr L H Parrott, which occurred
heie last Monday afternoon. Mr
Parrott had been in Kingstrre neaily
all day and went to tba depot presumably
to take the traiD to his home
near Cades in the afteruoou He
was od the platform when train No.
50 came in, but waited until it
started off before attempting to get
aboard. In trying to beard the
moving train he missed his footing
aDd fell between the cars, the wheels
nf whirb r?tn nvf-r his head and arm.
crushing him almost out of eemblauce
to a human form. Ilia face
was mangled to as to be unrecognizable,
and it was onlv bv some let"
* i
terg that fell out of hie pocket that
he wan identified
As goon as possible his body was
taken up and carried into the waiting
100111, where it whs kept until i
the coroner could bt uotified. Coroner
Burrows came up Tuesday
afternoon and empanelhd a jnry of
inquest, which after hearing the tes
timonv of seveial eve-witnesses, reu?
j 'i
deaed a verdict that the deceased
came to his death by attempting to
board a moving train.
Mr Parrott was about 35 years
old and was unmarried. After the
inquest the remains were turned
over to Mr R J Parrott, a brother
of the deceased.
Mr L H Parrott owned a valuable
place near Cades and had been en
gaged in farming prior to this year,
when he rented his farm and was
about to embark in a mercantile
business at < ades. His death is a
sad blow to his aged father, who
with a number of other relatives
survives him.

New Year's day wus celebrated at
this place with a tournament which
was a source of much pleasure to
both old and young. The day was
an ideal one; the sun shone bright
and beautiful, and not a cloud appeared.
A large crowd of eager i
spectativji was present to witness the J
gallaiVf'performance, which recalled!
memories of ancient times "when!
kuightfiood was in flower."
About 12 o'clock, Mr J Or Ne-!

took his place as herald of the day.

After running over "Lone Boy"
won, but yielded his crown to "Lost

crowned Miss Mollie Graham,
Queen of Love and Beauty; Mr
Louie Nesmith crowned Miss Maude
Brockiuton first Maid of Honor, and
Mr Sam Cooper crowned Miss Ida
Waldron second Maid of Honor.
Mr Josev Godwin acted as lance
bearer, and Mr Jetsie Tallevast as
the "clown," which role he played
very well indeed.
I want to say in conclusion that
our clown would have done honor to
Kobinson's circus. He was mounted
on an old black mule and was
dressed in a rich, rare and l acy costume.
Suffice it to say the clown
pleased the children, amused the
older ODes and scared the "niggers".
Wishing the editor and all the
readers a happy New Year I will
call a halt.

Letter to B C Whit head.
Dear Sir: The Trustees or rair
Ground, Coblwkill, X Y, were glad
to pav 15 cents a gallon more for
Devoe; and 110 wonder. Two other
paint agents said it would bake 150
gallons of their paint to cover the
buildings.
Our agent put it at 125 or less. It
took 115. .
We saved them 35 gallons of paint
and pamt worth ($4 to $5 a gallon,
as the painting cost two or three
times as much as the paint) less 15
cents a gallon on a 115 gallons. Say
$140..
That's how to oount the cost of
paint. The cost of putting it on is
$3 or $4-a gallon. You know what
that means. . Go bj Devoe.
35 Yours truly,
F. W. Devoe & Co

In snch a country as ours, where j

We regret the going away of Mr
H L Carter, thongh his absence a ill *
very probably be only temporary. He
came here from Walterboio a few
inonth8ago, and in a house which he \
rented for the remainder of the year, j
opened a 6tock of groceries. He did t
well, was building up a good trade (
and winning for himself the good
opinions of all who came in contact
with him. The house was sold to (
parties who took charge January 1st. ^
Mr Carter endeavored to secure an- ^
other store but failed?all being t
either occupied or pledged for the t
year. Therefore he had no building
in whioh to carry on the business.
This is all of it. This is what causes
him to go away. But it is likely 1
that the near future will see him back,
and it is in*the air that he will
return at the head of s company, I
composed of leading business men i
