Wm. f?F.< Mood, Clarence L. Tisdale and AnnierJ. McKinney, all of Sumter County, S .C.? - Death Miss Maria Haynsworth, sister of Maj. W. F B. Hainsworth, died at twelve o'clock last night after a brief illness, in about the 54th year of her age. She has had for the pnst few days a very clearly d* fined case of the Grippe accompanied by considerable fever. Miss Haynsworth is an old resident of Sum? ter, and beloved by all who knew her. She was one of a large family, well known in Sumter County. The surviving members are Maj. W. P. B. Haynsworth; Capt. Henry Hay nsworth, (now on a visit to Sumter) Mrs Ly les, and Mrs. McMahon of Fairfield. Rev. A. M. Sale died at bis home on West Calhoun S?reet yesterday morning, from pneumonia. He had only two weeks ?go suffered from a severe attack of Grippe, but from this he rallied, and his family and friends hoped he would soon regain his health and strength, but in some way be con? tracted a Cv>ld, which brought on pneumonia. Rev. A. M. Sale was born in Abbeville, S. C., and was 37 years old at the time of his death, w?s ordained to the ministry of the Presby? terian Church twelve years ago. He mar? ried four years afterwards, the youngest daeghur of Mr. Anderson of Camden, S. C., and had just moved his family to this city io order to take charge of the Summerton, Hebron and Tirzah Churches. Arrange? ments had jost been made at the late meeting of Presbytery at Camden for his installation at Summerton on the third Sunday in May, pros and at Hebron on the fourth Sunday of the same month. He leaves a widow and three children, the eldest a boy and two lit? tle giris. His ministerial won has been per? formed iu three different Siates, Virginia, Tennessee and South Carolina. He was suc? cessful wherever he went. His untimely death entails a heavy loss on the church which he served, and irreparable loss on his young and helpless family. The sympathies of this entire community are deeply stirred by this sad event. Mr. Sale's remains were taken to Newberry to-day for interment. Mr. Fred. A. Sale, of Columbia, senior partner of the Real Estate firm of Sale ? Sim? mons, isa brother of the deceased. Mr. Sale held a policy in the Aetna Life Insurance Co. for $3,000 Mr. T. F. Mason, formerly of Foresten, and employed by the C. S. & N. R. R. here. died at his residence on Harvin street about 2 o'clock last Sn oday morning. There seemed to be some affection of the brain, and his case being rather an obscure one, several of the. physicians-Drs. Mood, Hugbson, Bossard and China held an autopsy and found that a tumor, considerably over an inch in length, had formed on the brain, around which had gathered ? cheesy looking substance of tubercular character. The remains were taken to Fores?oo Sunday afternoon for burial. Mr. Mason leaves a wife and one child. Mr. Tho3. D. Durant, Jr , son of Mr. T. D. Durant, of Lynchburg, died at Wotford College, last Saturday io the 20th year of his age. He bad a week or two before an attack of measles, and it is thought exposed himself too soon, and brought on a relapse. Mr. Durant's death was a great shock to bis friends and family. He was a young man of good mind and heart, aod was held in uni? versal respect and esteem by all who knew him. His remains will be interred in the family burying ground at St. Lukes Church, Lynchburg. _ One That Will be Missed. Old Mose Harrison is dead. That face and figure which has been a landmark in Sumter for about twenty-five years, will be seen no more. Mose was a well known and respecta? ble colored man, who came to Sumter just after the war from Virginia ; he has been complaining for some time of indifferent health and fell dead on Council Stieet, ne?r his boose about 7 o'clock, Friday evening, from apoplexy. Ever since we can remember Mose has been Janitor of the City Hall and Episcopal Church, and street lamp-lighter for many years He was a man of all work when occasion required and was called npoo by outsiders whenever lhere was any extra errand to ron or piece of work to be performed in addition to this Mose was almost always t> be counted on as an attendant at all public dances and entertainments. He was a con? sistent democrat and was liked and respected by all. He was 60 years of age aod was insured in the order of Wise Men. Sumter's Centennial Arch. If the Game Cock Arch is not the "glass oflfashion and the mould of foi m-the ob? served of all observers" at the Columbia Cen? tennial, it will not be Columbia's fault, for it bas been assigned one of the most central and conspicuous places in the picture-to wit : the intersection of Main and Washington Street?, commonly known as the City Hall corner. Sumter's interests in ihe matter are in charge of a very competent committee, Messr3 Alta? mont Moses, W. H. Ingram and Abe Rytten berg. They visited Columbia last week and arranged all the preliminaries. The office of Col. Geo. K. Wright has been offered them for the Sumter headquarters during the Csu tennial. We hope the people of the County j will conti ibute generously and make Sumter's ! bow symbolical of peace, promise and plenty. - -?-?-?---?^ j Stories of the Sandwich Islands. Prof. J N. Ingram delivered two interest? ing and instructive lectures last Friday at the Sumter Institute and the Graded Schools. He says while engaged in work on a daily paper in San Francisco, the received a call from the Frank Leslie Company to go to' the Sandwich Islands and write up the country and a description of the people, customs, etc. He spent six months there and bis lecture was the result of his observations. His style ii; somewhat unusual and interest? ing, his sentences short and pithy, and his lec? tures are said to contain more correct infor? mation than is generally found in the histo? ries and geog rap by s on the subject. Caught Stealing. On Saturday evening, as Sheriff Carson was wending his way homeward, be was attracted by a noise and bustle on the opposite side of the street, in front of Mr. Kahn's grocery store. On approaching the scene be found a very animated discussion in progress among a Frenchman and three excited negroes, con? cerning a ham that had been surreptnonsly removed from a wagon in. front of the store. As the sheriff came np one of the men moved off and was immediately pointed out as the culprit. In arresting him,.he was caught in the act of passing a brand new pistol to one of the bystanders. A bunch of keys, which resembled those of a warehouse and office, three or four new pocket knives, and a half dozen packages of cigarettes were found on bis person. He was brought before Trial Jus? tice Wells' pleaded goilty to the barn act, and was committed to jail in default of $25 fine. Walter Anderson is the name of the prisoner, and he says he is from Columbia, S. C. Job lot Parasols and Ladies' Umbrellas at Ducker & Bal?mao. Tennis. The match game of tennis between the Sumter Institute Club and the Sumter Lawn Tennis Club, was played Monday afternoon on the grounds of the latter club. A large number of spectators assembled to watch the progress of this interesting contest for the championship. The ladies in their cool cos? tumes and pretty uniforms made a striking picture on the smooth and shady lawn. The regulations of the game require three sets to be played each afternoon, for three consecu? tive afternoons. So far, the score stand? two sets to one in favor of the Sumter Instituie. On Monday afternoon the contest was between Misses Dick-and McCutcben for the Institute, and Miss Mamie Edmunds and Mr. Jno. B. Duffie, for the Sumter Lawn Tennis Club. Miss Susie Haile and Rev. J. S. Hartzell who umpired, rendered fair and impartial deci? sions. Tbe game was hotly coutested and some excellent playing was done on both sides. Those whose sympathies were with the Institute expressed their enthusiasm by beating tin cans, and waving their flag, which was quite a handsome one. Your Name in Stencil. Prof. Powell has been doing a lively busi? ness in his art of stenciling. He works on the street on Saturdays, and canvasses other days and doe3 the work at the Mansion House. He has a very superior key-ring oa which he puts name and address ; also key check, and umbrella plate with name. Fe puts different err^?ems on his work : Masonic, I. O O. F., Good Templars. K. of P. His Masonic Trestieboard ard K. of P. Treslle board has to be explained to be appreciated. He comes among us well endorsed ; is a first class workman, bas a pleasant word for all, and is ever ready to please. He warrants his j work. " Religious. The religious meetings at the Baptist Church, mentioned in our last issue, are attracting much interest, and are well attend? ed. Rev. Mr. Hundley, of Edgefield, who bas preached some fine gospel sermons, left this morning to attend the meeting of the Committee iu the Baptist Orphanage matter, at Greenwood. New Houses. Messrs. Holman & LeMaster have raised the frame ot the residence of Mr. W. F. Shaw on Washington Street. This will he or.e of the prettiest and most convenient houses in the city. It will contain five rooms beside the hall, pantry, storeroom and kitchen. Capt. R.A. Brand and Mr. J McFadden Spann will shortly build residences, on their lots adjoining either side of Mr. Shaw's. Mr. J. B. Carr has been given the contract to build the new residence of Messrs. Schwartz Bros., on the site of their former house, on Washington Street. We have taken a peep at the plans, and it will be one of the handsomest and most convenient houses in the city. The rooms six in number besides, pantry kitchen, etc , are unusually large and airy. Anice, wide piazza will ex? tend around the front of the bouse to the projecting bay of the dining room to which thete will be an entrance from the piazza. The windows will have two light double strength glasses. Some of the rooms will be 17x20 feet. The specifications call for a first class job, costing about $4,000. Mr. E. W. A. Bultraao at an early day will commence the construction of his residence on the fine lot he purchased jast month from the Presbyterian Church. His house will be on that portion of the lot which adjoins the parsonage. Mr. Frank O'Donnel says he will build a bouse "some day" on his Liberty Street lot op? posite Saint Joseph's Academy. Mr. C T. Mason, Jr., broke ground yesterday for his handsome house on Main street. Judging from the depth of the exca? vation, be will have solid foundations. Mr. E J. Dunne is apparently doing his best on Mr. Laughery's two bouses near the depot. The diagonal storm sheeting has a very neat and thorough appearance and will doubtless make the frames as secure, as the houses comfortable. m^m ? > - Those Brick Stores. Mr. Tg?ac Schwarte, acting for Mrs. Schwartz and her sister, Miss Lena Solomons, bas commenced work on the two brick stores on their property at the corner of Main and Republican streets. The old half rotten oak trees in front of the lot have been cut away, and the old one story frame buildings have been hauled off-displaying to view one of the finest corner lots in the city of Sumter. The writer has been attracted by a few of the old citizens of Sumter, who would occasion? ally reconnoitre the place with a look on their faces as if they were trying to take it all in. Some would stand, perhaps thinking of the time long gone by wheo the acorns were planted from which the great oaks grew. Their dim spirit waking upon the verge of evening to recall the old forms and faces that went trooping past, the lights and shadows scenes of the days that are no more. The stores will be fine ones with iron fronts and plate glass windows on Main Street. They will front fifty-five feet running back ninety feet in length. There will be a hall and three large rooms in the upper stories. The store on the corner has been leased to Mr. E. E. Rerabert for five years the other to another firm for three years. Both stores will be used for general merchan? dise Mr. J. B. Carr has the contract to com? plete them by next August at a cost of about $6,500. He commenced excavating for the walls last Monday evening. ?'A MISTAKE." How The Advance Fell Into Error Attempt? ing to Correct the W. ? S. The account of the appointment of Col. Averill, General Manager, of the C. S. & N, R. R. published in the News and Courier and in the Watchman of last week, was not a mistake r.3 our E. C. the Sumter Advance gratuitously asserts it was. We obtained our information from Mr. Martin him-elf, who showed us the letter notifying him of the appointment of Mr. Averill. Our information in the premises was further confirmed by C. S. Nettles, E.-q. General Counsel, and A. Ames Howlet a Director of the Company. If our rostected contemporary has soy higher authority-than we have furnished, for con? tradicting the correctness of our statement, we would be enchanted to have it produced, without simply alleging error in "A-ioance." ?M-?? -M.MI - Murderer Arrested Last Thursday afternoon LaFajeUe James, a tall one-armed mulatto negro, was arrested at or near Wedgefield under a warrant of Trial Justice Wilson, charging bira with the murder ef Adrianna Gadsden, at Sessions, Ga., on 28>h of March.

Crab Apple Blossom, the finest extract in town, Gilliland & Co's Drug Store. 3-11-4 New Dental Parlors. Dr. E. Alva Solomons has had the large hall, over Browns & Purdy's store transformed into three handsome dental parlors opening on a long corridor at the head of the stairway. He will have his operating chair at the win? dow on the north side of the building aod thus avoid the glare of the afternoon sun. The wainscoting and ceiling in the suite of jooras was done by Messrs. Holman & LeMaster and isa neat job. A few Geraniums in full bloom for sais at A. J. China's Drug Store. Baptist Orphan Asylum.

This is to certily that Mr. Augustus A. Solomons of this city had his life insured in the Equitable Life Assurance Society of 120 Broadway, New York, under policy No. 43,149, for ten thousand ($10,000) dollars in favor of his three daughters; that he died on March 22d, 1891, and that on March 3Ulh (eight days afterwards) the Company drew its check in favor of the beneficiaries for eleven thousand one hundred and seventy-two dollars and fifty-nine cents, ($11,172.59) which check was turtled over to them by Mr. T. E. Richardson, agent at this place, on April 4th, 1891, in full settlement of their C aim. The promptness with which this company pays its losses, together with ?ts financial standing should commend it to all persons desiring life iuaumnce. W. F I>.

We have had so much rain, that we could not compose our mind, and can't do much at it yet, never could. But this has been the Spring for long-faced farmers, and we could not well help it either, seeing our rations be? ing consumed, and the land so wet that we could not plough, and it still getting wetter, [t is enough, to make our faces long, for whether we are honest or not, we have to try ind pay our debts, to keep our credit good. Notwithstanding the gloom that has pre railed with us. Agents have not forgotten us. We have bad them of all kinds. Well, aot all kinds for I expect that we will Dave some more after awhile. But I do wish that they would go somewhere ;lse, unless they were of the right kind. We have been troubled more by life tn >urance agents than any other, for they would eave our house after dinner and be back to ?upper. Oue would be going down the road md the other up at the same time. It seemed :hat they meant business, if they didn't do ouch. We are in hopes of making good crops this rear, but I think it impossible, from the fact :hat very few fat mers have been able to pre >are their land as it should have been. The and bas been so water-sobbed that when it iries it will be as hard almost as brick, and .vhen it is broken it will be in clods. Miss Rosa Beasley is teaching a private icboolfor us, which will continue until the niddle of May. As Poor Farmer is so well-known I will :hange to. DRY JIU. -???-^-^ The Boston Musical Herald is one of the few nusical journals of the country, edited by writers of experience, which maintains a cou ;tantly dignified attitude iu all its depart? ments.

Mr. Elson is the critic of the "Boston Advertiser." Mr. Wilson holds a similar position on the "Boston Traveller."

A new feature bis year is the presentation in each issue of tn article by Eduard Hanslick, the first critic n Europe and the wittiest.
