All the furniture has come, and it is expected that there will be several initiations. The Legislature met yesterday. Senator J. ). Rhame is in his place, as also, we presume, are Representa tives'a Tdal and Plowden. That little billet doux is not meant to give offence, and no gentleman we hope will get offended. - It means simply that we want the money. Sonth Carolina has lb large odds the best exhibition at the Augusta Exposition, and has been awarded the diploma for the best State exhibit. Mr. Dudley .E. Hodge, of Oakland, who for some time has been in feeble health, was prostrated last Sunday by asitroke of paralysis, and is danger o1usly ill Capt. A. Levi will receive the ap - of engrs nclerk in the and consequiently will be in houmia during the sitting of anat body. A little negro boy, about eight years old, living on Mr. Dudley Hodge's place, near Oakland, fell off a dining table last Friday, and broke his neek1 killing him instantly. During court week last month a tieman paid Mr. M. C. Galluchat *Osubscription to the TxES. - He has orgotten who the gentleman was, and regnesta thathie report his name to thisoffice. The jaillis said to be sadly in need of a fw dolarBof repairs. The poor prioners suffer from the cold wind blowing in at broken panes of glass. Ether the county commissioners should repair the jail, or a subscrip tion paper should be circulated for this purpose. It is sinful to make these nansoners suffer thus. It ia stiimated that ten thousand prosvisited Charleston last week. ~7 tickets were sold from Manning; 250 fromi Sumter. Other depots in Ularendon and Sumter, of course, sold their share, and we safely say that these two counties sent seven or eight hundred visitors to Charleston last week. Eighty-nine tickete were sold to the Columbia Fair week be lore last 'We take pleasure in directing the attention of our readers to the newl advertisement of Mr. John Moran to be seen in this issue. .He keeps one of the largest and beet assorted stocks of goods to be found in the City ol Sumtar, and when the people of Clar. endon go there to sell their cotton or to make purchases they will do iwell by -aln on John Moran, Main St., Sumter,~i C. We hear that the store of S.E. Strange & Co., of Salem, which was kept by our young friend EddiE .Strange, of Wilson's, was destroyed by fire last Monday night. There was no insurance, and the entire stock of goods was destroyed. The stock was asmated to be worth about $1,700, the building $375. The building was the store house formerly owned by J. H. McFaddin. The fire is supposed9 to hare been of incendiary origin. A Superb pair of Spectacles for $1.00 at Dinkins & Co's. CONSUMPTION SUR1ELY CURED.

I shall be glatl to send two bottes ofmy remedy xarrs to any of your readers who have consuraption if they will send me their express anid post office T.A.LOCU h. C, 181 Pearls. Y Fragments from Foreston. Fonss-os, Nov. 27.-Rah! for Foreston! Why? Because she furnished about twenty, five visitors to the Charleston Gala, and while she put in the visitors she was not slow in putting in something to feed them, having contributed no less than seven rAice beeves, besides pork, chickens, and eggs innumnerabie. All those who attended from here express themselves as highly pleased with the sights, indeed I might give several funny Istories from some of those whose first trip it was, but forbear. While we look with pleasure on our visit to the city by the sea, and upon the good ness and mercy which ever crowns our days, yet in the midst of pleasure comes sorrow. 11r. Porter, our depot agent, who has been here as long as any of us, and whose heart has been entwined around ours, has been relieved, and must leave us. His place has been filled by a Mr. Hall, of Kingstree, S. C., a brother of the agent at your place. Mr. P. leaves to-morrow for Raleigh, N. C. Mr. 0. F. Goodwin, formerly of this town, but now of Charlotte Harbor, Fla., has been here for several days, closing up his busi ness. He sold his place, four miles from here, to Mr. W. P. Roberts. Rah! for Foreston. Our new agent at the depot received by to-day's freight two game c.eks and a fiddle. Music. F. Panola News. Paaorn, S. C., Nov. 26, 1888. . In. Enrron: That postal-thank you kindly; it was a happy reminder. I would feel better if I had done better. The re view of the year is not very comforting to me, and it ought not to be. If I had been more diligent and faithful to duty the re sult would have been different. There is a shortage all around this year. Like old Cudjo, the corn is short, the potatoes is short, but "de sun broke tr de cloud an gin we something once mo." So you see there is room for grunting where there is so little prosperity belonging to my charge. The Lord only knows who is to blame. One thing I do know, he will measure responsi bility with an even hand. Your editorial pathway is rugged, pester ed with thorns. It is so I suppose with all editors. At times they are as snappish as minks, constantly dunning delinquent sub scribers. Why do this? Do you not help to give a free and gratuitous literature? The last visit I paid Manning, I saw an editor hunting up locals, his face wore frowns of toil. 0! how I longed to edit his paper, so much to write about. Manning was so full of good and pretty things. I had great anxiety to be an editor, to tell the county folks what I saw. It was gala week, Man ning was in her glory, with a strain of mag nificent music marshaling her beautiful streets: but I will hush as that part of the program belongs to your local. It was gala week, therefore most if not all of the Court House hunkedoreys were on the breeze, I only had the pleasure to see your popular sheriff. Times are so monotonous we are slow to believe Harrison has been elected president. As this is the case we will resume the even tenor of our way, and take dur place high up on the roll among your contributors. "Hew to the line. let the chips fall as they may." Jack's Creek has been so overflowed from the incessant rains we could not pass over. We had no Moses to lead us, a pillar of cloud by day, but no pillar of fire by night, hence we have kept near Rosin Hill where you can at all times enjoy a match less treat Here life blooms ever and anon. The gist of the moral, your humorist writer, "Occasional," (bachelor as he is,) whose flow of soul can only be equaled by a beau tiful quadrille. At Rosin Hill the Eutawville Railroad passes. Farewell Friend Brockton; good-bye Panola; we are on the slide. The only com forting hand we can extend to you will be to move to the R. R. Let it not be said, you sorrow as one who has nio hope, and may your destiny miss the mark of a Summer ton friend who having sold out his mules now has to buy more to move to the Rail road. A recent visit to 'Vance's gave me an op portunity to look at the wiecked bridge. Vance's is a small but growing town on the Eutawville & Elloree Road. At this june tion the road from Sumter will connect. Several months must elapse before the bridge can be made available. The bridge disaster was a serious end fearful loss to the company, involving the necessary addition al expenditure of $15,000 or $16,000) to re place the damage. Mr. Pregnal is hard at work with a double force of hands taking down the ruins, dredging the channel in removing its wreck. The trains run daily from the jurnction to the river, which is one mile and a half. This is a smooth, level rad, and goes to show the rapid stride which must soon span the river and conn-ect Orangeburg and Clarendon. Some months ago while canvassing the Deep Creek section -I made a jocular re mark that if elected to the office of county commissioner I would use my influence to give to the people of that locality a public road from Jordan to Foreston. I have re ceived several letters reminding me of my prms.My traveling companion, a two hundred pounder, felt the weight of the ar gument, He would tighten on me at the jolt of every root. I have wondered since if he has forgotten the ride from Foreston to Jordan. I rwnot as his genmal life will never fade from the memory of the writer. Candidates make many promises and meet serious difficulties- It was specially so in the personage of our sheriff-elect, where individuals took 'brush in hand to guard the polls to keep the people from voting for him. Our little city is all insa bustle, a hog killing time. There is a perfect earnival in the sausage and pudding line. When this killing is to stop and the end come we know not Tomr.

B., and 8 botti.'s cured me sound." Jars. S. M. Wilson, Round Mountain, Texas, writes: "A lady friend of mine was troubled with bumps and 'pimples on her face and neck. She took three bottles of B. B. B.. and her skin got soft and smooth, pimples disappeared, and her health im proved greatly." Jas. L. Bosworth, Atlanta, Ga., writes: "Some years ago I contracted blood poison. I had no appetite, my digestion was rmined, rheumatism drew up my limbs so I could hardly walk, my throat was cauterized five times. Hot Springs. gave me no benefit, and my life was one of torture until I gave B. B. B. a trial, and surprising as it may seem, the use of five bottles cured me." POWDER A bsolutely Pure.
