A crowded house, the largest possibly ever gathered for & similar purpose in Sumter, greeted Miss Kellogg and her troupe of ar? tistes last Wednesday. Sumter does not Often have the opportunity of seeing or hear? ing a prima donna wbo has won laurels not only in the large cities on this continent bot in Europe as well, and hence the well filled ' hall. - The entertainment was very enjoyable. Of coarse we cannot criticise-might as well -attempt to give an opinion upon an eloquent oration delivered in Sanscrit, bot bave DO doubt that it was perfectly delightful Miss Kellogg was "fair, fat, and forty," and pos fiblj each of these descriptive terms might be put in the comparative degree. Her voice wat exceedingly sweet, especially ia the lower tones, and ber execution of the simple ballade, Several of which she sang wheo recalled, was -the essence of musical harmony. M iss Mon te griffo was a unanimous favorite with the au? dience. Her voice, a contralto, was sweet and foll, and the rapturous applause of the audience testified to their delight. The little fiddler, Miss Torbett, completely captivated her listeners, not less by ber pretty face and natural and girlish manners than by the wonderful melody she evoked from her violin. The pianist, Mr. Adolph Glose, seemed a per? fect master of the superb instrument from which he called forth "such linked sweetness long drawn out.*' Messrs. David and Noyes, tho tenor and baritone, also have good voices. * Mr- D. J. Auld has earned the thanks of the music lovers of Sumter for bringing the Kellogg troupe to our town. ^ Hosie Halli February 12th. ^ 4: : Gilbert k SOIUTOD'* grand success. Th? Sumter Post Office.

Death of a Missionary. The News and Courier of the 8th contains notice of the death of Rev. Jas. Koger, mis? sionary to Brazil, who died of fever in his missionary field. His death will cause much sorrow to bis friends in Sumter County where he was well known. Mrs. Koger is the sister of Rev. A. Coke Smith, and has a large circle of relatives and friends whose deepest sympa? thies will be felt for the bereaved ones left behind. Religious. There will be service in the Episcopal Church Sunday evening at 7$ o'clock. The Union Service was held Sunday night at the Baptist Church, Rev. N. W. Edmunds leading. His sermon was a practical dis? course on "Hearing the Word," and we have no doubt but that each one of the crowded congregation, could, as the "liberal hearer," after giving his neighbors al! he could possi? bly need, still retain a large share for himself.

The first snow fell Thursday. Friday was extremely cold. In the North and Northeast the cold was more severe than during the previous blizzard, while the fall of snow was unusually heavy. Firemen's Anniversary. Last Tuesday was the time set apart by the Sumter Fire Engine Co., for their anniversary supper. The occasion was both pleasant and profitable. The pleasant part was the sup? per, which was bountiful and good. The table was loaded down with the best the mar? ket afforded, while the watchful care of the committee of arrangements supplied the wants of every guest. Bat the profitable part came afterwards in the practical speeches which were made, especially those of Gen. Moise and Mr. Suder, the foreman of the company. It is very evident from the tenor of those speeches that the Sumter Fire Eogiue Co. has not received the substantial aid from the peo? ple or the town of Sumter which its import? ance demands. This matter of building up a a good 5re department is not a question of sentiment, but one that is thoroughly prac? tical. Every man who pays a dollar for in? surance is interested in having a fire depart? ment sufficiently well organized to induce the Tarin?Association to reduce its rates; every man who owns property uninsured is even more deeply interested in improving his means of protection against the fire fiend. There? fore this is a business matter appealing di? rectly to the property holders of Sumter. It is one in which the outlay of money promises a sure return by the decreased cost of insur? ance, and the more certain protection of prop? erty, and we feel confident that a thoughtful consideration of the importance of this enter? prise will bring it all the assistance needed. We must not omit the forcible speech of Sheriff Sanders, who converted every guest present into a contributing member of the company. It was a most successful effort, and he ought to be proud of it. A very appropriate ornament on the center of the table was^a toy steam engine and un? derneath the motto, "Our next step*" W. J. Andrews was caterer which to a great degree accounts for tb* well filled table. Our Exchanges. The Russell Publishing Co. continue to give the public a model child's magazine, Our L?de Ones. It is published on stout heavy paper to resist the rough attacks of baby fin? gers, while its illustrations are all that could be desired. The History of the Sumter Baptist Church. Editor Watchman and Southron : It has been my purpose, for some years, to prepare a history of the Church of which I am pastor, bot unfortunately the old book of min? utes, dating from the year of organization, was misplaced, and I could not get at the necessary facts. The book ba3 again come to light, and I will now begin my work. I do not at all apprehend any great lack of ioterest ia this enterprise amongmany of your readers. A great number of the leading fam? ilies in Sumter have played a conspicuous part in the history of this church, and it will certainly be of interest to the Jiving to know and preserve a record of the religious work and history of the dead. The Church, aB it now stands, united, harmonious, progressive, is built as well upon the labors of the dead as of the living. "Others have labored, and ye are entered into their labor." Doubtless this work could be done much better by another-by some one longer a resi? dent of the community and weil acquainted with facts which reach far beyond me and my time-yea, beyond my very years. I shall be glad then to receive suggestions, and I feel assured you will welcome any articles setting forth concurrent facts. This will add to the vividness of the detail and thus to the general interest and worth of what ? may publish. Corrections, too. of errors which I may make will not be out of place. AH history is made up of the truth it contains, minus the mis? takes To eliminate the latter is the work of the historians' coadjutors, and so, after many histories are written, the result is a book at length which is the true history. I shall not count my time wasied if I only prepare a series of papers which shall lead to the truth some one who shat! write after me. I feel it incumbent upon me to make one more statement as a precautionary measure. In recording the actions of this Church, orin giving expression to its opinions, I am not to .be understood as representing myself. I do not yet know all the doctrines it bas held, nor in what measures it has antagonized the other churches. In telling what has been done I would not have one infer that I would have done the same. In some things we are net so wise as the fathers. We are free to ad? mit this. Will any one quarrel with me if I say that in other things we may be wiser than they? I feel assured that I can see traces of improvement, and in looking for? ward I sometimes imagine I perceive measures to be adopted which will make our successors superior to us. Well, let it be so. If we gain notbiog by time, study and experience, we are poor student^at be*t. C. C.. BROWN. Was it Missionary Work? MT. Editor: I pres?me that yon assume th? responsibility of the announcement made in your last issue, that the Rev. N. W. Edmunds went last Sunday to fill a missionary appoint? ment at Timmonsville. 1 If you meant by that to rank that people i among the heathen, (which I do not suppose j for a moment, J let me disabuse your mind of such an impressiou, once for all. I did go by appointment to Timmonsville, preached by courtesy, in the Methodist Church I in the morning, to a large, intelligent, and s Christian congregation, and at night, in the t same*way, in the Baptist Church, to an equal- i ly large, intelligent, and Christian congrega- b tion. - _ J I found it a good and pleasant thing to be j' there. h Bros. Humbert and Richardson are the ac? ceptable pastors of these churches respectively, n We have a few Presbyterians of the true blue ? type at Timmo'sville and it i? their insatiable a thirsting after their mother's milk that indu- ii ces us to send them a drop of it now and n then. And we are glad to say that the other good people find it so much like what they lc have been accustomed to that they cordially h invite us to bring it along as often as it may be convenient for us to do so. ri N.

There is perhaps no disease so prevalent as dyspepsia or indigestion, and one too, that up to the present time, ba3 baffled the skill of the most eminent Physicians. Two-thirds of the chronic diseases have their origin in dys? pepsia. The symptoos are loss of appetite, loss of flesh, a feeling of fullness or weight in the stomach, occasionaly nausea and vomit? ing, acidity, flatulence, dull pain in the head, j 8i with a sensation of heaviness or giddiness. irregularity of bowels, low spirits, sleepless- j h ness, sallow skin, derangement of kidneys, and not unfrequently palpitation of thc heart.
