It will do a lire man much good to take a trip to this beautiful little city, asd see bow the busy bees are toiling hard to make their hive a pleasant and profitable one; and indeed they are succeeding admirably, and we hope that the surrounding town3 will catch the fever and go forward like Samter. In some respects Sumter is the magic city of the State, and it affords ns great pleasure to say a word in behalf of her people, as we like to praise true merit at all times. We doubt if the citizens of this city realize them selves how much they have done in the past two years, and we doubt if there is a city in the South that has made as great progress as Samter when we take into consideration the limited capital on which all her progress has been made. We would like to point out some of the many ndvantages that Sumter possesses for the investor and settler but want of space forbids.?Summerton Star, 19fb.
