It was agreed that Martin street be paved for the wilth of thirty feet from Salisbury to Dawson street. Mr. Leach made a verbal report on the widening of North Salisbury, West Morgan and other street, stat ing that property holders objected. No action t.ken.

Among these, is an offer from Marion, McDowell county of $12,000, with a proposit'on to increase it if m pessary to $17,000, High Point, Durham, Tbomasville and other points have also made offers.

Af ter sitting a few minutes he fel over and died almost instautly. He had been to, the city before during the the morning, and this was his last trip. His body was carried home in his wagon. "A WHAT IS IT." Mysterious Something that We Cannot Explain. Last night we siw a game called Ouaija (pronounced We je) played at ' a geutlptnan's house on Jones street : that we cannot explain, and don't believe anybody else can. The near ! fist description we can give of it, is j this: It is a board, or rather several board joined together, is about two feet wide and tlree feet long. On it running lengthwise and divided int. two rows is the alphabet in large let ters, and also figures up to 10. On th right hand earner at the top is the word -'No," and in the left is "Yes." x'hen there is a small piece of board, about half foot, nearly square, the front part extending into a peak, and rests on four legs. It takes to work it a lady and gen tlemanwho place their fingers on the board just so the skin will barely touch. In a minute or two the table commences to move. Then yon ask what questions you wish, and here is where the mysterious part comes in. Ask if it wants to talk, and if it does, the fore leg goes to "yes." Ask it whatever you may and that fore leg, as it spells the words, stops on each letter until it answers the question. I A young girl and a young man were working it last night and the follow ing questions were asked and answers given: "Who will be the next Chief of Po lice?" 4 Charlie Heartt," it slowly spelled the words. "Will all the old police force be re tained?" Up to the left hand corner it went to "Yes." "Who will be our next mayor?" "West Jones," it spelled. "Who will be the next city clerk?" "Louis Renn," it stated. "Who is to be the next Secretary of State?" "Womack," it said, as the fore leg went to each letter. The answers were not correct every time, but a good many were. Whatever the thing is it certainly is amusing, fas inating and mysteri ous. See our 60 and 75c laundried shirts, reduced from 75c and $1 Woollcott & Son's. Died.
