Gilland has resigned the pastorate of the churches which he was supplying in Williamsburg, and has accepted a call in North Carolina. His only child, about two years old, dlied afew days before he left Wil liamsbug Mr. L W. Folsom, the popular jew eler of Sumter, is safe and reliable. When he sells you a piece of jewelry, you will find4 it just as be says it is. His stock of jewelry, watches, etc., is large, and we hope our readers will always csll on him when in Sumter. The ladies connected with the Sun -day-school at ' Mr. T. J. M. Davis's will have a hot supper at Capt. Dar i's.residence, Thursday evening, Dec. 20th, for the purpose of raising funds to build a Sunday-school room for the large Sunday-school at that place.. Mrs. Edwards's is the place for confectionery and Christmas goods. Eversbody knows she gives them a full hundred nenits worth for a dollar. Try some of her beautiful mince meat. It's elegant. And every thing she has in her store is of the best. Don't fail to patronize Mrs. Edwards. It is said tbat a party of negroes last week visited the house of Fort night Nelson, the father of the negro child that got its neck broke two or three weeks ago, and after admninis tering avery severe whipping gave him just twenty-four hours to leave the county. The lynching party believed that Nelsocn was the cause of, or in strumental in, the child's death. Try C. C. C. Cherry Cough Core. It never fails to cure. 25 pents at Dinkins & Co.'s. Who is it that does not know Mr. Moses Levi, the prince merchant of this county. His stock of goods is equal to any retail store in the State, and he wishes to reduce it prior to January 1st. Consequently he will aell cheap. Carry him the money, select your goods, name any reasona ble price not too far below cost, and it willoe a tade. Mr. Levi will make splendid offers for the holidays, and his stock of goods is unsurpass C. C. C. Cherry Cough Cure. A cedtdu cure for coughs and colds, at Dinkins & Co.'s. Beai- in mind when you go to Sum ter that Ferdinand Levi is a native born Clarendon miai, and has a kind feeling for his old friends and ac quaintances- He has a stock of goods unsurpassed by any store in Sumter, and every thing he has is new. No old shop worn goods on his shelves. Then be has gone to Samter, to win a reputation for low prices and fair dealingand lhe will sell at closest margins. Mr. Levi is fair and honest in all his dealings, and worthy the support and confidence of his fellow citizens. Call on him as soon as you go to Sumter, get his prices, and they will be so low you will not care to go mamma-~e (*v Adnand a trial. The time for paying taxes has been extended to January 15th. Plenty of Pleasure for Panels. 1-riday, 28th instant, will be a red letter day in the history of Panola, for on this occasion our gallant Troopers propose to give a battalion drill in full uniform, to be followed at night with a ball at the Panola Academy, at which the charming music will be furnished by Pierson's popular band of Sumter.

Gents', ladies', misses' and childrens' shoes, complete line. Ladies' trimmed hats at half price, at F. Levi's, Sumter, S. C. Fragments From Foreston. Fonzsrowc, Dec. loth.-Several of our young men, to wit: W. C. Oliver, Jule Hinnman, and Charlie Cuttino, contracted the measles while in Charleston during " Gala Week." As they are now rapidly con valescing. and no new cases having appear ed, we hope this contagion will not spread. The heaith of the town otherwise is all we could wish. The family of our R. R. Agent. Mr. Hall, have arrived here, and are now comfortably settled in the "Ballinger" house. We are happy to chronicle the return of Rev. J. S. Porter to this circuit. Dr. White, who recently returned from the State Convention of Baptists at Or angeburg, reports a very harmonious and pleasant session. Mr. Jos. Sprott, Jr., of Jordan, spent Sat urday and Sunday in town with Mr. W. T P. Sprott. Miss Josie McLean and the Rev. A. Net tles spent yesterday with Dr. L. W. Net tles's family. Rev, Mr. Rooke, of the Baptist church, gave us two fine sermons on yesterday. In the morning from the text, "Charity suffer eth long, and is kind," and in the evening from these words: "Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors." Combining several circumstances, these sermons were thought to be very appropriate, and are much and favorably commented upon. Dr. L. W. Nettles will represent Claren don Lodge at the Grand Lodge A. F. M., at Charleston to-morrow. E. S. Denton, with the four star min strels and sleight of hand performers (ne groes) are making it lively for a part of our population. Some of his performances are fine. F. Panola Pencilings. Mn. Enrron:-The joint stock company alluded to last week for pounding stock has culminated into a final organization. It will not be a secret order. Its main object will be to assist the needy ones whose stock may be seized by those not members of the company. A small contribution from each member will thereby enable them to re deem their stock without pecuniary loss. The ginning seas.'n leing well nigh over, Capt. A. L. Lesesne is now running his saw mill. His mill, located on Sammy Swamp, is finely situated for business. Capt. Les esne is a young man. At a very early age he was placed in charge of his mother's farm at Rockland. It has been repeatedly stated, for one so young at the time, his business tact, energy, and push could not be e..eelled. With these qualifications most any enterprise will succeed at his hands. Mr. J. H. T. Coullette is building a fine house. The model differs from that of any house yet built at Panola, and from the out side viewv when completed will in beauty excel any build~ng put up here since the war. In consequence of his advanced views he has constructed an evaporator for boiling molasses. The calendar for Judge Mahoney's court shows a heavy docket. Some twenty odd prosecutions for crime, variously brought from petty larceny to aggravated assault and battery with intent to kill. Grime is on the increase. It seems old satan has turned loose his legion of angels with their mighty satanic influence, and poor fallen nature, has fallen an easy victim to his power. How can it be otherwise? Whiskey is flooding the country, aold secretly almost anywhere. Friend Strange should punt his hotel in bet ter order, for, from all appearances, every room will be occupied. Another crime against society is the prac tice of carrying concealed weapons. The law against concealed weapons is a nullity upon the statute books. Eveiy negro has a pistol with the end sticking out of his vest pocket. Did not our law makers intend otherwise? Did not they intend the spirit of the law to mean that we should carry no deadly weapon about our person at all? Another curse to any -community is these sell suppers, so called. The ignorant, the bad an4 disorderly gather themselves to. gether at thes2 places to the great annoyance of a quiet and orderly neighborhood and make the nights hideous with all manner of <disorderly conduct, where rows p re dominate and end in broken heads, black eyes, and law suits. These are sources of mch trouble, and every one deplores the evil effects, but can suggest no remedy. I am not wanting for news. The general public know this, but how to write, we are at a loss, for some evil designing person may think we mean to cast reflections or some insinuations. It is the duty of the hour to declare against "wrong doing;' "hew to the lirie, let the chips fall as they may." Mr. I. V. Bardin, of the firm of Bardin & Murdoch, Charleston, S. C., is spending a very pleasant week at Mr. J. P. Brook's on a hunting excursion. Professor W. B. Bonham is visiting Capt. A. L. Lesesne. Now, Mr. Editor, I claim your indulgence for one week. The Gran.d Lodge of A. F. M. meets in Charleston, and I must needs be of visiting the Grand East. Tox. Earthquake in Canada. Sr. Fz.&vom, Qtxzc, Dec. 7.-Six or sev en severe earthquake shocks were distinctly fell here this morning. Trees were under mined, and huge rocks and boulders on mountain tops were dislodged. They came down to the village with a rush, surprising and startling the natives. No lives have Ibeen repnorted lost. at16O SoutiA Carolina, COUNSTY OF CLAKENDON, IX 2'HE PROBATE COURT. Br Lours ArmELr, Esq., Probate Judge W HEREAS, WASH GEORGIA, JR., made suit to me, to grant him letters of administration of the Estate of and effects of ALIJSON GEORGE; These are therefore to cite and admonish all and singular, the kindred and creditors of the said ALLISON GEORGE, deceased, that they be and appear, before me, in the Court of Probate, to be held at Manning, S. C., on the 19th day of December next, after Ipublication hereof, at 11 o'clock in the fore noon, to shew cause, if any they have, why the said Adnministration should not be Igranted. Given under my hand this 3rd day of iDecem1 er Anno Domini, 1888. r .] LOUIS APPELT, SEVERE CASES OF BLOOD POISON. Thousands srfler from blood poison, who would be cured if they gave B. B. B. (Botanic Blood Balm) a trial. Send to the Blood Balm Co., Atlanta, Ga., for book of, wonderful cures, that convince the most skeptical. It is sent free. J. 0. Gibson,. Meridian, Miss., writes: "For a number of years I suffered untold agonies from blood poison. Several promi nent physicians did me little if any good. I began to use B. B. B. with very little faith, but, to my utter surprise it has made me a well and hearty person." Z. T. Hallerton, Macon, Ga., writes: "I contracted blood poison. I first tried phy sicians, and then went to Hot Springs. I returned home a ruined man physically. Nothing seemed to do me any good. My mother persuaded me to try B. B. B. To my utter astonishment every ulcer quickly healed." Benj. Morris, Atlanta, Ga., writes: "I suffered years from syphilitic blood poison which refused to be cured by all treatment. Physicians pronounced it a hopeless case. I had no appetite, I had pains in my hips and joints and my kidneys were diseased. My throat was ulcerated and my breast a mass of running sores. In this condition I commenced a use of B. B. B. It healed every ulcer and sore and cured me complete ly within two months." POWDER Absolutely Pure. This powder never vanes.

TAX RETURNS, TpIHE AUDITOR'S OFFICE WIL~r BE ~open from the first day of January, 1889, to the twentieth day of February, 1889, to receive returns of real and parson at property for taxation in Clarendon cour, ty for the'year 1889, and for the convenience of tax payers will have deputies at each of the places named below to receive returns for the said year: Curtis's Store, Wednesday, January 2nd, 1889. Hodges Cross Road, Thursday, January 3rd, 1889. C. L. Griffin's Store, Friday, January 4th, 1889. D. W. Brailsford's Store, Monday, Janu arv 7th, 1889. "Summerton, Tuesday. January 8th, 1889. David Levi's Store, Wednesday, January 9th, 1889. Brunson's Cross Roads, Thursday, Janu ary 10th, 1889. Jordan, Friday, January 11th, 1889. Foreston, Monday, January 14th, 1889. Harvin's, Tuesday, January 15th, 1889. W. M. Youmaans's Residence, Wednesday, January 16tL, 1889. Midway, Monday, January 21st, 1889. New Zion, Tuesday, January 22nd, 1889. W. J. Gibbons's, Wednesday, January 23rd, 1889. J. B. Husbands's, Thursday, January 24th, 1889. R. E. Smith's Store, Friday, January, 25th, 1889. Real estate is not assessed this year, 1889, and remains at th.e same vanto it was in 1888, except in cases where parties have bought and sold between the first day of January, 18'88, and the first day of January, 1889. All new structures erected between the first day of January. 1888, and the first day of January, 1889, are to be returned this year, 1889, for taxation, and those destroyed dung that time deducted. Assessors and Tax Payers will please en ter the first given name of the Tax Payer in full, also make a separate return for each Tax Payer for the Township the property is in, and'always make the return of real property in the same namei it was returned in the year before, unless it has changed owner:.hip, and then in the party's name who owned it on the first of January, 1889. Al changes of buying and selling land must be made on the tax payer's return be-. tween the 1st of' January. 1889, and the 20th of February, 1889. After the lattor date it will be too late to get the change made for the said year 1889. And another important matter in making or taking re turns is, where the tax payer owns land, to insert the post office as their place of resi dence, and where they own no real proper ty, to mention the owner's land that they live on as being their place of residence, which assists the tax payer as well as the County Treasurer in making the colletion, and saves costs and penalties too. Every male citizen between the ages of tventyone and fifty years, on the first day of January. 1889, except those incapable of earning a support from being maimed or from other causes, shall be deemed taxable polls. Tax payers return what they own on the f~rst day of January, 1889. All returns that are made after the twen tieth day of February next have to be plac ed on the additional list and fifty per cent. penalty added thereto, unless prevented by sickness during the time of lhating, or out of the county at the time, (not knowimg the time of listing- is no excase,) and is the reason that the land owner has to get two Ireceipcs when they make their return after the 20th 13ebruary each year.
