The first dance will be S ven to night at the Enterprise otel. Thebe are various ways of keep ingcool during the hot weather, but a good and pleasant way is to patronize the Soda Water fountain at tbe drug store of Willcox A Co. Tbe fountain itself is a handsome iece of work in marble, exoeed- ugly ornamental and tastefi I io design. Tbe soda water is made from pure materials, and all tbe latest fancies in syrups cau be had at tbe low prioe of 5 ceuts a glass. There is do reason for you to snf- for from heat, ss long as the foun tain ia in operation. Oub town council and many other citizens are awaiting with great interest tbe result of tbe Artesian well now digging at Flor ence by the A. C. Line. On Wed nesday of last week the well was 500 feet deep, several lumps of coal coming np with tbe excavated earth. If that well ii a success, we will have one in onr town, dog either by the oonncil or a company. Six hundred feet of 5f inch piping has already been bought, and a well eaahedng, fitted np and water guaranteed for 12.00 a foot com plete. eja The Town Council have purchas ed 12 gasoline tamps to be used in lighting tbe town. Several other towns in the State already have these lamps aud they have given general satisfaction. The Darlington String Band, contemplate getting op a benefit concert, about tbe middle of next month. In addition to the seven members of the band, they have procured the services of eight oth ers, and will give a programme con sisting of instrumental and vocal music, with variations on tbe min strel order Iu all of the entertain- menta given lor charitable and bene fit purposes, since their organization, they have given their services free ly, and added greatly to the sue- eess of the evenings. Now they propose, in order to get the means of supplying themselves with new instruments and the latest music, to give a concert. Tlie public should give them a generous benefit We have no doubt every one who at tends will be richly repaid. Memorial Day. The beautiful custom of observ ing Memorial Day aud dc> oiati::g the graves of the Confederate dead was observe-.! iu Darlington Mon day afternoon. At 4 o’clock, P. M the beds of the three white churches commenced to toll and tt.is sad re quiem was kept up throughout the ceremonies. The citizens assem bled at the Presbyterian Church. The Darlington Guards in full uniform and accoutrements, with flag draped, funeral badges ou the left arm, aud with muftied drum, marched to the church, stacked arms, aud occupied seats on tbe right in front They were followed by seventy fiower girls in double rauk in charge of Miss Coriuue Player, a squad of boys bringing np the rear. The religious services were conducted by Rev. Jno. G. Law, pastor of the church, and chaplain of tbe Guards. The music conducted by the choir, led by Mrs. W. E. James was well rendered, consisting of the funeral march with three selections, “Con sider tbe lilies,” “Raise me, Jesus to thy bosom,” and “Some Sweet day, by aud by.” Tbe church was well filled, many persons from the country having come iu. At the con clusion of the services, the proces sion marched t-> tbe Presby terian cemetery, the Guards standing at “rest ou arms,” while tbe graves, marked by white fiags, were decora ted. Tne Guards then paid their annual tribute to tbe memory of their dead comrade, Sergeant L. M. Williamson. They marched to bis grave, presented arms, came to th<* rest on aims, while two of tbe officers placed tbe decorations. The procession then marched to tbe Baptist Cemetery and then to the Methodist, decorating tbe graves. At tbe Methodist Cemetery is the lonely grave of a U. 8. cavalry man, one ot the garrison who died here, whose remains have not been placed in the National cemetery at Flor ence. This grave was treated with tbe same respect ss those of the soldiersof the Confederacy, an ever green cross, wreath and bouqt ets of flowers, placed in memory of bis mother and aistere in a distant State. Tbe prooession then went to the mounment. George W. Brown, Esq, after making a abort address read that beautiful and son) stirring poem “In Memoriam,” written by tbe poet-prieet of the South, Father Ryan, a poem Wan ted by the Memorial Association. Tbe monument, which bad been * with wreathe, from which were suspended, bas kets of flowers, crosses, wreaths and other floral emblems, was then dressed with flowers. Amoug tbe oomerons mementoes of the dead, ware prominently t oticed the names of Hooie, Dargau, Law, Warley, Fountain aud many others, not forgetting that old soldier of tbe 5th Lou&iaua Regt., M. Welsh, who always took such an active in terest in all the work of the As sociation, aud who bat a few months ago died from the effects of wounds received on many a hard fought field. The Guards then presented arms “in memory of the Confederate dead,” and closed tbe ceremonies with three vollies, firing with blank cartridges. Business Notices.
