Elizi Moore, (col), and three other women were before tbe Mayor Friday for disorderly conduct, and all were discharged except Elizi, who got six days. She is making day and nigbt hideous with her yell9 in tbe vicinity of tbe guard boose, and if she is to spend tbe entire six days yeiling, the people who bave to stay in that neighborhood are to be pittied.

Tbe ruling price on the streets to-?ay was 6? cents. The people of Sumter irrespective of de? nomination*! affiliations will regret that Rev W. C Power and family will remove from this city to Greenville. Mr. Power has re sided here for four years and bas made friends of all with wbom be bas come in contact. Tbe return of Messrs Daniel and Herbert to their charges in tbis city for another year is very gratifying, as they are both very popu lar and are loved by their congregations. The Postal line between this city and Camden has been repaired, which gives com munication with ail parts of tbe country, and the local office is again prepared to handle all business with tbe usual promptness. The Sumter-Camden line is tbe property of Mrs B. K. DeLorme, aod is essentially a home enterprise, and as such should receive a libe ral patrouage from all Sumter people.

A email stable iti the rear of 0'Donnei] & Co's store was discovered lo be on fire about o'clock Friday night, and in a few minutes tbe whole building whs io a blazu Whe' tbe fire department arrived Graham's large sale stable was in imminent Hanger, as it was but a frw fee1 from lb- burning building Three lines of hose were stretched and in a short time the fire was extingu? hed. Nu damage was done Graham's Stahle and the entire loss is not great. 'thirty-five bushels of pe-s and a lot ot forage, which were stored in the stable were burned. Tbe fire would have r>et?n gotten under con trol much more quickly had the hose not burst almost a9 soon as the water was turned on, thereby causing several minutes delay At nearly every fire the snme accident occurs and to an onlooker it appears that heavier hose is needed to stand the pressure The city should purchase a sufficient quantity of heavy hose to replace the light weight bose now ic use.
