M. Waddiil, will leave on Sunday next for Citra, Fla., “to seek their fortunes.” The rains of last week prove to have been unusually heavy. The Pee Dee rose to thirty-five feet above low water mark, and considerable corn was destroy ed. The meeting of the Anti-Till- man Democrats, for the purpose of nominating full County and Legislative tickets, is to be held next Monday in the Opera House. The amount of the loss result ing from the burning of the Hartsville depot last week is es timated at $10,000. It is all, however, thought to be covered The Confederate monument has been taken down and the several parts carried to the Square on the north side of the Court House, where it is now in process of re-erection. Lucius Bacot, the well known colored man, had the misfortune on Tuesday night, to lose his horse, which fell dead in har ness while being driven along Pearl Street in front of Mertz’s store. Mr. C. Alexander lost a fine horse on Friday. The driver was on his way to McIntosh’s Mill, and in trying to cross Black Creek, the unfortunate " animal got beyond its depth and ~ n Those in need of buggy and wagon harness would do well to call at John Siskron’s shop, as he is selling it off at cost.

They will be put on sale Nov. 11, and will be good to return on until Nov. 17th. One of the handsomest show- windows in town is that at the new stand of Mr. S.

The Town Council have plac ed on the Square two iron drink- troughs for horses, one on eith er side of the Court House. By a unique automatic arrange ment connected with them the water in the troughs is kept fresh and clear all the time. The wonderful effect the Tar iff Bill has had in reducing the price ot men’s clothing cannot be properly appreciated until you examine the samples and prices of Mr. Howard Norment, local agent for the celebrated house of Wannamaker& Brown. A barrel of good family flour for $2.90 at Blackwell Bros.’ The cheapest “made to order” suits of clothes in the world are to be had of Wannamaker & Brown; Howard Norment, agent for Darlington. The New Pastor. [The Ocala (Fla.) Banner] Rev. Jno. G. Law, of Darling ton, 8. C., with his family, ar rived in Ocala last Friday, and the new pastor of the Presbyte rian church preached his intro ductory sermon Sunday morn ing to a good sized congregation. He-selected his text from John, the 4th chapter and 34th verse. It was a highly spiritual sermon and the application was direct and pointed, namely, to do the Master’s will with apostolic zeal and devotion. Law spoke without notes. His ideas were clear and his command of languge good, his -diction that of the people, plain and simple, yet forceful and impressive', His delivery is earnest, tho-forcs of wtochTff-somewhftt impaird by what sounded as Rttgtrt throat troubles. Mr. Law’s audience was pleased with his sermon. He is a man about 55 years of age, rather tall, of medium mould, with a pleasant face, a mild blue eye, which when he speaks lights up with pleasant effect, but in repose has a sedate and thoughtful expression. The new castor comes with the highest recomendations as a man and a Christian. Htr throws his whote soul into his ministerial labors; is possessed with a deep sense of his spiritu al work and has a.most solicitous and watchful care over every member of his flock. The Ban ner extends a cordial welcome to Rev. Jno. G. Law and his family, consisting of a son, a daughter and a Miss Taylor,and trusts his pastorate in Ocala will be profitable and pleasant in ev ery sense of the word. They will occupy Dr—ft C. Hood’s resi- One boy’s suit, pair of shoes and socks, and a nice tie, all for $2.25 at Blackwell Bros.’ At the Churches. Rev. W. M.

Sat- terwhite will preach at the Baptist Church. The only ser vice at the Episcopal Chuch will be conducted by the Rev. R. W. arnwell, at 8 p. m. The Rev. r. Aitkins will preach at So- iety Hill both morning and evening. A fine overcoat Blackwell Bros.’ for $4 50 at $15 suits reduced to $9 at Brunson, Lunn & Co’s. was drowned. About a dozen Darlingtonians were it Florence Saturday night to see “The Silver King.” They were well repaid for their trou ble, for the play itself and the manner in which it was render ed were both superb. Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Carter lost on Saturday their little boy, who was just three years old. He was buried at Swift Creek Church on Sunday. The parents have the sympathy of all in their bereavement. There was another large to bacco sale at the Warehouse on the 11th. Twelve planters from Clarendon County were in with their crops. The prices were good and the strangers seemed pleased with their visit. It is said that Columbia, Flor ence and Darlington have all three been removed from the “black list” on which they were placed by Gov. Tillman, and that they will hereafter receive their share of the dispensary profit^, — ^There is no longer any doubV ,, that the Atlantic Coast Line 'n We claim that our $4.90 men’s winter suits can’t be beat. Call and see theni; Blackwell Bros.’ Improving the Moral The Hoc.W.W. Hursby* May or of Florence, writes to ask Gov. Tillman to restore to hiB Florence. ;o bis town the privilege of participa ting in the dispensary profits, and promises, in return therefor that he will see that the law is enforced with vigor, and will lead in a regular crusade against the “blind tigers” in his vicini ty. The Governor replies in his usual “if you will-be a-good little-boy you-c a n-h a v e-s o m e- cake” style,and ends as follows: “If you will co operate with him [the constable stationed at Flor ence], there is no doubt that the illicit sale of whiskey can be stopped and the morals and good order of your town improved.” v >— MARRIED.

The acting of “Jane” was “im mense”; the large audience pre sent were convulsed with laugh ter from the beginning of the play to its end. i A good sewing machine for from $5 to $15 at Black wt 11 Bros.’ Frank Spain's Company. The Sadia Whiteford Compa ny, with which Mr. Frank Spain is connected, will be here two nights next week, Oct. 24th and 25th. The house would doubtless be crowded on both occasions if the people of Dar lington were influenced only by a desire to see their popular young fellow-townsman, Mr. Spain, in his new role. But the troupe itself is said to be an un usually fine one. On the 24th “Ingomar” will be played and “Pygmalion and Galatea” on the 25th. Mr. A. B. Williams, of the Greenville News, (in which city ihe troupe appeared a few days ago), says of Miss Sadia Whiteford, the “star:” She has talent and brains and taste and the mysterious thing we call power—the ability to put herself in intellectual com munication with people aud to make them understand and feel her thoughts and emotions, She has all the natural advantages of beauty and voice. She needs some ripening and training, and is obviously a worker and in Parthenia has fewer crudities than Mary Anderson had at her 9ge. There is every reason to believe that the place on the American stage left vacant by the retirement of Miss Anderson is to be filled by Sadia White ford.
