Boys who go gunning for turkeys may | wind up in the chain gang. The plea l that they mistook the turkey for wild j turkeys will not be good in court. _?

Nothing has yet been ricard ?>f Mahn, who recently escaped from tho county jail.

On last Sautrday, the 16 th instant, the boldest attempt at turkey steal? ing that I ever heard of occurred on i Mrs. S. C. Raffield's place, about five j miles northwest of Sumter. Three white boys from your city, armed with guns and followed by dogs, like bird hunters, shot into a drove of* turkeys of William Lewis, a respectible negro, living on the place. Only the appearance of his\wife on the scene prevented the turkey thieves from securing their booty. They had shot and killed one turkey when they saw her. The boys dropped the tur? key and made double quick time for ? the woods and thus escaped before assistance arrived. Three boys were seen by several people who will recog? nize them. There is a rood chance for them to have to -ace Judge Wil liamson en the charge of turkey steal? ing, as I understand that one at least is known and the others are being looked after. H. A. Raffield.

The Majestic Range Demonstration at the Burns* Hardware Company opened this morning and the attend? ance was even larger than antici? pated. The careful housewives of Sumter are always appreciative and anxious to learn how to obtain better results and save labor for themselves and their servants, consequently they j have taken advantage of the cooking i demonstration which will continu ? the balance of the week. Scwartz Bros. advertise hosiery to SCHWERIN-O'ILIGAN. Prosperous Business Man of Sumter Wins a Popular and Charming Young Lady ol' Charleston For His Bride. One of the prettiest weddings seen in Charleston this season was .solemn? ized in the Pro-Cathedral last evening when Mr. J. A. Schwerin, of Sum? ter, was married to Miss Mary O'Hagan, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. O'Hagan, hy Father Budds. An assemblage that filled the pews, over? flowed into the aisles and crowded the street in front of the Pro-Cathe? dral., bore witnesses to the. interest ta* j ken in the ceremony and the pop.ular I ity of the bride, who is a charming ! young lady of many charms and ac I complishments. The Cathedral was elaborately deco? rated with roses, vines, carnations and palms. Thc three columns near? est the altar were twined about with roses and trailing vines, while the sanctuary itself wa?, profusely decor rated with carnations and white roses, which were scattered among the numerous candles. . The decorations called forth many expressions of admiration and praise. The building was illuminated by the soft light of the candles about, the al? tar, and the gas jets in the main part of the building, and the half-light served to enhance the beauty of the flowers and vines and to heighten the effect of the other decorations. The sisters of Our Lady of Mercy arrang? ed the decorations in the building. Shortly after 6 o'clock the wedding march from ''Lohengrin" was played and the attendants entered. The groom was accompanied by his best man, Mr. J. T. Solomons, of Green? ville. Miss Birdie Austin, of Joplin, ^f0.. was the maid of honor. The bride entered on the arm of her father. The attendants were Miss Florie Ramm, Mr. W?ham O'Hagan, Miss Mamie Dixon, Mr\ Robert O'Hagan, Miss Mamie Keelan, Mr. Jo* seph Condon. Flower girl, Miss Lo? retto O'Hagan. Cushion bearers, Miss Katherine McAlister, Miss Katie Purse. The ushers w?r? Messrs. Leonard Peeples, William O'Brien, L. Michel, Wil???m Muller and Dennis O'Sriem Immediatey after the ceremony the bride and gr'?om were driven to the [ residence of ytfr? brid?is father at No. I 171 Meeting street. The beautiful home had been decorated by Miss Jo? sie H?fling, who was assisted by the bridesmaids. A reception was nek! at the home, which was very largely at? tended, and at which the bride and gr-?om received the congratulations of their numerous ?r'??hds and acquain? tances. A course dim'.er was served lateran the evening, Miss Josie H?f? ling'caterer; all the delicacies of the season, together with the substantials and liquid refreshments, were served in the brilliantly illuminated dining hall. Among the presents received by the popular young people were a deed to' their future home in Sumter, the gift of the groom's father and mother; a handsome and well filled purse by. the father and mother of the bride; a purse of gold from the eldest brother of the bride, and numerous other presents of silver, china, linen, pic? tures, etc* Among the out-of-town guests were I Mr. and Mrs. Schwerin, of Sumter; J. i T.

After the reception last evening, Mr. and Mrs. Schwerin left the city j for Augusta, where they will spend a few days. They will then go to At? lanta and will visit other southern points before going to Sumter, where | they will 'reside in the future. i The wedding reception and dinner | were all greatly enjoyed by the nu? merous friends of thc bride and groom, and the reception was charac? terized by a bounteous hospitality that banished at once that rigid for? mality which so often mars the pleasure of a gathering at which the gentlemen are in full dress and the ladies in evening gowns.-Xews and | Courier, Nov. 22.

I once knew a young couple whoie marriage j had not turned out as happily as it j should have done. The wife said to i tiie husband one evening: " 'Before we tvere married, dear, j you were always giving me presents. Why do you never give me any now?" " 'My love,' the hi^sband replied, ; 'did VOll ovor hp.ir nf p ' ficViorrnnn cr\\'. 1 ?ng bait to a fish he had caught?'" It is a matter of serious regret to us that we are not doing as much business as we would like ta but the fault is not ours, it is chargeable to the shortness of the cotton crop upon which we have to de? pend so much, These who are familiar with the situation say WE ARE THE BUSIEST STORE IN TOWN but if that be so, we can only express*sympathy for our neighbors. It is true there are many days that we cannot wait on the trade intelligently, but they do not come as often as we WOJ?G like to. / ; Every department of our stores will be found amply supplied to meet any demand that may be made upon us. Some had to be replenished, others are overstocked as a result of early Fall purchases. It is needless to say that we are anxious to unload our surplus stock and will not permit any reasonable opportunity to do so to escape us, as the season is getting late. DRESS GOODS, TABLE DAMASK.

We thought we were seriously hurt in this department but the special prices made in early part of the month attracted attention, and it is remarkable to see how the piles have b reduced on our tables. Some people express surprise at the enormous stock of clothing carry, and our only explanation is tint we have a demand for it and sell it. Regular cl ri houses enjoy the reputation of getting fancy prices, but with us it is marked on a basis a ' our general average profit, which probably accounts for our success with it. v We have now a full line of the celebrated Fay Ideal Stockings.
