Th« Minstrel Performance.
The Minstrel show by home
talent to be given at the Opera
House to night, promises to be
a very excellent performance.
All the music is good and all
the singers are well up m their
parts. The songs and jokes are
not chestnuts and are all very
catchy.
The fact that the accompani
ments will be played by the or
chestra will make it decidedly
better than most amateur shows.
The farce comedy which
serves as a closing will be done
by actors of unquestioned abili
ty in their respective, imper
sonations, and will make the
sourest misanthrope laugh.
After the performance a novel
contest for two prizes will be
thrown open to the audience.
This contest is knownas a “Cake
Rise.” What a “Cake Rise” is
is a mystery to the uniniated,
hut it is said to be very enjoy
able. Oysters, ice cream and
cake will be served by the ladies
of the Baptist Organ committee.
Prices for admission 25 cents;
children 15 cents; reserve seats
35 cents. Tickets now on sale
at the Book Store.
A Swell Colored Wedding.
There was a swell marriage
in the colored Methodist church
last Thursday night. E. J. Mc
Collum was married to Marga
ret Goodson and the ceremony
was performed by the Rev. J.
R Townsend, pastor of the
Methodist church, assisteu by
Rev. I. P. Brockinton, pastor
of the Baptist church. Several
bridesmaids and groomsmen
marched up the aisle to the
strains of Mendlesohn’s wedding
march and everything was
done in style. The groomsmen
were attired in white duck
pants and dresscoats and vests,
a rather new fashion in this
community. After the ceremo
ny at the church, a reception
and dance was given at Hew
itt’s hall in honor of the newly
married couple.
Notice.
To the churches of the
Welsh Neck Association:
Our Association will meet
this year with the Swift Creek
church on Tuesday, Nov. 3rd,
one week earlier than hereto
fore. We hope to have and
urge upon the churches to send
a full delegation. Matters of
unusual interest will come be
fore us. Let us come together
in “the fullness of the blessing
of the Gospel of Christ,” devis
ing liberal things for the Mas
ter’s K ingdom Our hearts and
homes are open to receive you.
Brethren, come.
Fraternally,
N. N. Burton,
Pastor.

A Huge EnterprlM—A Really Big
Double Circua.
The coming of The Great
John Robinson and Franklin
Bros.’ Enormous Combined
shows to Darlington on Thurs
day, October 22nd 'will be a
treat to the citizens of this en
tire community like they never
experienced before. The Rob
inson Shows have delighted
American amusement lovers for
more than three generations,
and the Franklin Bros.’ are the
founders of the new school of
American swordsmen. In the
season of 1896 they have spared
no money to secure the best for
every department. A glance at
the list of celebrities under their
control will convince the most
skeptical that they have been
amply rewarded for their lavish
outlay, for they are the best in
the world in their yarious lines.
The horses, manv of them im
ported, are models of horseflesh,
while their stud of trained
horses do everything but talk.
They will appear at every per
formance with their original
trainer. The Duryea motor
cycle, the horseless carriage, is
to be seen only at these great
shows. A royal troupe of Jap
anese, imported expressly for
this vast enterprise, and the
only double troupe ever brought
to this country, is another feat
ure. They would be a whole
show in the ordinary circus, but
are only a single feature w : th
the Robinson and Franklin
shows. Acres of tents are re
quired to accommodate this
huge amusement, while one
ticket adniits to all the combin
ed shows.

money earn six per cent, but it

The brilliant entertainment
to be given by the “Kings
Daughters” at the opera house
Monday and Tuesday evenings
Oct. 19th and 20th and Matinee

promises to be by far the most
pretentious performance ever
given in Darlington. As it is
the same in every particular as
given the fore part of this
month in Columbia with great
| success, the ladies feel warrant
ed in guaranteeing its superior
quality. The following lads
and lasses will take part—the
drilling and training under the
E jrsonal direction of Messrs.

ITEMS FROM SEVERAL SECTIONS
AS TOLD BY CORRESPONDETS.
CARTERSVILLE.
One of Lamar’s most popular
young men made a short call
near St. Paul’s last Sunday.
Mrs. M. E. DuBose, of Sardis,
and her son Master O'Quin Du
Bose are visiting the family of
Mr. A. M. Newberry, or St.
Paul’s.
Miss Nettie Williams has re
turned to her home in Darling
ton, after a pleasant stay of a
few weeks with Miss Ada Con
nor of this section.
Mr. Charles T. Haynee, one
of Cartersville’s largest merch
ants, is certainly moving things.
He has a fine stock of goods and
is sc Uing them right. His clerks
Messrs. A. B Haynee, John
Fountain and R. V. Atkinson
are polite and efficient.
The people of this section were
fortunate in securing Miss Bes
sie Hanna, of Chesterfield, to
teach the public school. Miss
Hanna is a music teacher also.
She has a good many applica
tions from the young men to
give them music lessons. I
think it a good idea, for there is
room for improvement in that
study in this community.
Married at the residence-of
Mr. Moses Watford Sept. 27th,
by Rev. Mr. Wilks, Mr. C. M
Odom to Miss Lillian Watford.
The attendants were Mr. E. L.
Fields, Miss Emma Odom; Mr.
B Dubose, Miss Mattie Plumer;
Mr. P. V. Mims, Miss Rosalie
Odom; Mr. J. W. Odom, Miss
Sara Mancil; Mr. A. E. Craw
ford. Miss Jinnie Odom; Mr.
Nuten Plumer, Miss G. E. Mims.
The bride and her maids were
uniformly dressed in cream silk
trimmed in ribbons, orange
flowers and jewels. Refresh
ments were abundant and su
perb. Cards are out announc
ing the marriage of two more
couples next Sabbath.
It is a waste, of time, so an
old proverb says, to scrub a
sows ear. You will waste the
time just as effectually trying
to buy goods cheaper than at
Blackwell Baos
HARTSVILLE.
Mr. W. C. Coker, of Wilming
ton, who is a son of Maj. J. L.
Coker of this place, is at home
on a visit.
Prof. Taylor returned to his
st last week and Prof. Lewis
as gone back to his home near
Timmonsville.
We were very glad to see an
advance in the cotton market
to-day As high as 7.35 was
paid here for middling cotton
this afternoon.
Mr. J. T. Marks, of Durham,
who las heavy orders for leaf
tobacco, will be on the floor of
the Hartsville Warehouse for
the remainder of the season,
and will make the market hum.
Mrs. John B. Nutt, the wife
of our popular Warehouse Man
a^er, arrived here last Friday
night. We gladly welcome her
here and sincerely hope that she
will be pleased with her stay in
our little town.
The entertainment and oyster
supper given by the ladies on
last Friday night was a grand
success. Quite a snug sum was
realized and everything passed
off pleasantly. The average,
man, who did not expect to
spend much money when he
went there, has been wondering
ever since, “What made me
such a fool”.
I heartily endorse what you
said in your last issue in regard
to building up a cotton market.
No kind of market can be built
up by offering baits. The right
way is to give the highest mar
ket value every day of the year.
This is the reason Hartsville is
one of the very best cotton mar
kets in the state. We have here
three good buyers who make it
their business* to buy cotton and
give the highest prices for it,
There has never been a bale
of cotton bought on account in
Hartsvillp since it has been a
market. All cotton here is
bought for cash, and our buyers
are never out of the market, let
the prices be rising or falling.
Getting to the bottom—Fun
ny when you come to think of
it, that the only way far a mer
chant to get to the top is by
getting to the bottom in prices.
There is where we are—Black-
yell Bros.

ntVERDALE.
Miss Maggie Isgett spent last
week with her sister, Mrs. J. S.
Blackman, near here.
Miss Bailie Williamson, of
Dovesville, has been visiting re
latives in this vicinity.
We are sorry to state that Mr.
0. J. Milling is still quite sick.
We hope for his speedy recov
ery.
The Biverdale school opened
on Monday, Oct. 5th, with Mrs.
Wallace, of Springville, in
charge. Mrs. Wallace comes to
us highly recommended as an
estimable lady and a good teach
er.
A protracted meeting was
held at New Chapel last week.
The pastor, Rev. J. W. Warr,
was assisted by Rev. Wm. Alex
ander, of Cypress, and Rev. Mr.
Carter, of Pine Grove. Some
good and practical sermons were
delivered which we hope have
made a lasting impression.
Rev. J. B. Holly will preach
his last sermon for this year at
Mechanicsville next Sunday af
ternoon at 3.30 o’clock. He ex
pects to leave the next week to
attend the Theological Seminary
at Louisville, Ky. His congre
gation here regret to give him
up, and wish him every success.
The Equinoctial Gale was
quite severe in this section. Be
sides blowing down a great
many trees and fences, Mr. I.
Lewenthal’s gin house, black
smith shop and two tenant
houses were blown down and
Mr. W. E. Dai gan's stables, but
fortunately no lives were lost
and no stock injured.
A tenant house on Mr. J. M.
Lide’s place was consumed by
fire on Saturday afternoon. The
fire originated from a defect in
the chimney, and the occupants
being away from home, the
building was in flames before it
was discovered. Everything
was lost. _
Sharp eyes are watching for
our sayings . and doings each
week. We never disappoint
our friends, for we always have
something new to lay before
them in the way of special bar
gains.—Blackwell Bros.

time ago opened up a mercantile
business at this place, reports
trade ven good aad the outlook
promising.
Prof. D. L. Lewis, of this sec
tion, has been elected principal
of Timmonsville High School.
They have certainly made a
good selection as Mr. Lewis is
an excellent gentleman and an
efficient teacher.
Missionary day will be obser
ved at Lake Swamp next Son-
day, The public are cordially
invited to attend. A protracted
meeting will b*-gin on that day
to be carried on through the
following week. The pastor
will be assisted by Rev. Mr.
Sublett, of Texas.
If we are correctly informed
and we do not.doubt our author*
ity, there are three or four
places within a mile of this
place where wine is being sold
at any and all times—Sunday
not excepted. Some of the good
people of this community nave
