PACKSVILLE. Mr. McDonald Furman Writes up One of Clarendon's Pleasant Villages. At the kind invitation of Mr. R. J. brad ham, we paid a visit to Packsviile for the purpose .f writing it up-we went down yesterday afzrzoon and left to-day. As the W. & S. has several readers in that sec tion. we send this article to you. First we will give s )me account of the origin of the name. Dr. Henry Reynolds, of that section, who is versed in local history, informs us that some time in the thirties a post office was opened near where the present village stands and that Mr. Joseph Pack owned all the lands through that section. We see, then, how the place first got its name. Mr. T. A. Park, of Greenville, informed us in 1861 that the original Pack came from Wales and settled in Virginia, and his son.Joseph came to South Carolina. This Joseph was the one to ~whom Dr. Reynolds alluded. Two of his sons. Messrs. Alexander and Ben Pack, will probably be remembered by several of our' readers. We don't know whatithe etymology of the Pack name was in Welch, but probably it differed consider ably from the English way of spelling. Having glanced at the name, let us now tell about the village. Packsvilie is situated on the Wilson and Sumnerton Railroad, in northern Clarendon, and is about 12 miles from Sumter. It is a pleasant scattered little town of about 3oo inhabitants; roughly speaking, it has two streets and the prin cipal street affords a pleasant place for a stroll. About 2:> years ago this pl ace was covered with woods, in which there was tie residence. At that time Mr. George Uurtis opened a store here and we under stood that he was the one who moved the post oflice to what was the cross roads. Mr. Curtis's store was the only cne here when the Railroad reached this point aboo, :.,e years ago. The reader can form an idea of ca e growth of the place by the following statement about the business houses and other buildings. -Messrs. Bradham & Cole, Mr. George Oortis and the Trouboletield Blrothers, have general merchandise stores. Mr. J. M. Bradbam, who is the postmaster, keeps a stationary store in connection with that .office. MJiss Maria Bradhabi has a dress making and millinery store. Mr. W. R. McLeo-11has a grocery store, and although taie are not many negroes iu the village, there is a general merchandise store kept by Duranut, Logan & Co., of that race. One of the leading industrias of Packs vihe is the saw mtill and ginnery of Messrs. Bradhiam & Cule-in the summer s-:a.on the former is run and in the fail and niin ter the gins5 (3 in number) are run, and a bale can be ginned and packed every 20 nainntes. Shed Robinson, colored man, also has a tsmall ginnery and itrist mill. An.other important industry is 'carried on by Messrs. Bell & Mathis, who do a build ing and general repair work. They have a wheel-wright and blacksmith shop. In addition to their merchandise, the 's roublefield Brothers are engaged in the c-rosstie business, and they have the signal service in charge, for this little town has a weather service, and not only do these gen tle men get drily reports, but they report to Silver, St. Paul and Sumimerton. Packsville has four chiurches-two white --a Baptist an d Methodist, and two colored, which represent the satme denominations. All are neat buildings. The pastors are, White Baptist, Rev. C. M. Billings, locatedl at Packsville; white Methodist, the Rev. A. B. Watson, of Summerton; colored Baptist, the Rev. lAoram Conyers, of Wedgetield; colored Methodist, the R~ev. M,. S. Gamble, of Privateer. The white Baptist havea neat parsonage near their church, ai which church a protracted meeting is now being carried on. -We had the pleasure lasi night of hearing Mr. Billings deliver a th-,ughtfnl and forcible gsermon. The white Baptist Chur~h is to be repainted The white Methodist Church is a new buil ding and is finished, e-xcept the painting. Both would do credit to a large town. Another good feature of Packsville is its white schooL. The building is a large one and the school has been run for about twc years. The first session there was one as sistant teacher. Last session the corps of teachers were Mr. J. b. Wilder, of Sumter, and assistants, Misses Hattie Bradham and Eva Curtis, both ot Packsville. There were at least a hundred pupils in attendance at the last session. The school is now con tinued as a private one by Rev. C. M. Bil lings, who has e er 3o scholars; among the branches taught ty him are Latin and al gebra. We visited the school this forenoon and found the children polite and atten tire. The colored people have a' neat school building near the colored flaptisl Church. Packsvillo's school trustees fot both races are Messrs. F. S. Geddings, J. N. Brown and W. N. Stukes. Mr. Billings private school has five trustees. 'The depot is a convenient one, but is greatly in need of repairs, which are to be made. Mr. C. K. Curtis is the agent. The cotton shipping business ranges from looe. to 1.5oo bales through a season. Packsville is also a good point for shipping crossties and lumber. The people of - Packsyille are turning their attention to another important in dustry-truck tarming; Messrs. J. M. Brad ham and Charley Reynolds, Mrs. .\. N. Tay lor and Master Boyd Cole all have truck patches. We will remark, in passing. that this industry as carried out in Packsville, has met with encouragement. There are some good lands in the neigh lorhood of Packsville which are wel: adapted to cotton culture. Packsvile's largest and most successful farmer is Mr. P. S. Geddings. The next best thing to a newspaper in a town i'- a spicy correspondent, and this we understand Packsville has in the shape of a good correspondent, of the Manning Times, whose identity, however, is not known to the public. Packs rille is not an incorporated place, and it is no use that it should be, for it is such an orderly place that there is no need of town officers. Mr. George H. Cuitis, the original mer chant of Packsville, was born in Connecti cut, but came to Oraingeburg in 1857 and was one of the boy solmiers of the Southern Confederacy. He was taken prisoner at the secondibattle of Manassas. During our pleaisant newspaper sojourn in Packiville, we were the gues.t at the hos pitable L.ome of Mr. R. J. Bradham. There are other jpoints on which we could wiite (for the subject is an interest ing one, and by no meaas exhausted,) but we have already written so much that we must close. We will always have a pleas ant spot in our memory for Paeksville and its genial people. McDos~a Furia~'. Ramsey, April 23, 1696. REPORT - OF CountyTreasurer.

There is only one way to cure deafness, ad that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an infiamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustacbian Tube. When this tube gets inisamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroy ed forever; nine eases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but, an in flamed condition of the mucous suianes. We will give One Hundred Dollars. for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulare. free. F. J.
