instruments, and used all of them
with skill and delicacy of touch.
Where all was so good it is very hard
to discriminate, hut the performance
on the Harp, an instrument never
used in Darlington before, probably
attracted the most attention. The
! blending of the different instruments
was practically faultless, and it is
seldom that one enjoys the opportu
nity of hearing such a concord of
sweet sounds. In addition to the

for itself, and if any one feels dis
posed to doubt what they say, a very
short inspection of their stock will
convince him of his error.

claims it was done in self defence.

Burk’s Circus gave two exhibitions
here last week, and the performances
was better than is usually
shows of a similar nature.
There, were large crowds both day
and night, and a good evidence of
how well the night show was patron
ized, can be found in the fact that it
has been reported that only four
men could be found on the Square
Wednesday bight.
All our advertisers are disposing
of their goods very rapidly, and the
reason is very obvictis, they keep fine
goods, and are not t-fraid to spend a
little money in order to let folks
know what they ha'-e. People who
have their wits about them always
buy from the stores that advertise,
for the simple reason that they keep
the best and newest goods. The man
who is so lacking in enterprise, us to
be afraid to push his business, had
better go at something else; for it is
very evident that merchandising is
not his speciality.
We are very glad to announce that
our municipal authorities have suc
ceeded in their efforts to improve
Pearl Street, and it will probably
have about nine feet added to it. At
present the widening of the Street
will only be carried as far us Mrs.
Spains corner. When this work is
done, South Main Street will be
widened as far as Broad. The own
ers of property, on either of these
streets, should throw no obstacles ip
the way of this much needed improve
ment, aa the value of the lots will be
very much enhanced by the change.
Our readers will do well to bear in
mind that the Floral Fair will be
held in Charleston, somttime this
month and avail themselves of the
opportunity to visit the city. There
are many things in Charleston worth
was some very fine singing, and the
little ladies had to come out again
and again in answer to the loud ap
plause. One of the attractive fea
tures of the troupe is the illustrations
from Japeiiese village life, and this
is very real, as the performers are
natives of that strange and fur away
land. We take :> groat deal of pleas
ure in commending this talented
musical family to the favorable con
sideration of the press and people
wherever they go. They give their
closing performance to-night, and
from here go to Camden. They will
appear in Columbia next week, and
it would be well if they could he in
duced to be there during the Cen-
teniul.

The Electric Lights. ,
The machinery for the electric
lights is being put in place, and the
Superintendent informs ns that he
hopes to be ready to turn on the
lights by the first of May. The whole
outlay will be about fifteen thousand
dollars for machinery, poles, wire &c.
There will be two engines of 25 and
75 horse power, the larger one for
the incandescent lights, and the
smaller for the arc or street lights.
There is one Dynamo of 750 light
capacity that will furnish the/ -k-c-
tricity for the incandescent lights to
be used in stores and houses, and
another of 30 light capacity for the
arc or street lights. With electric
lights and water, works, Darlington
will soon be putting on city airs.
The Gap Almost Closed.
There are only three miles of track
to be laid between this place and
Sumter, and this will be closed in a
few days. When this is accomplish
ed the whole force will be put on the
line front this place to Beunettsville,
and it wont he long before the whole
line is completed. Some time ago
we suggested that the completion of
the road ought to be celebrated in
somo fitting way, and we open our
columns for any suggestions pertain
ing thereto. If this celebration
take place, it will furnish a fine op
portunity for Marlboro to farmally
annex herself to the State, and throw
off her allegiance to North Carolina.
We would be glad to have the Che-
raw Reporter, The Democrat and
Argus, of Beunettsville, give their
renders the benefit of this suggestion.
Death «f Mr. James A. White.
We regret to announce the death
of this gentleman, which occured on
Wednesday last, at 11 o’clock in the
morning. He was born on the 8th
of December 1842, and was in his
forty-ninth year tit the time of his
death.
Mr. White entered service in the
Fall of 61, and remained to the close
of the war, performing his duty in
every way, and passing through some
of the bloodiest fights of the struggle.
He was one of the few survivors of
the 21st regiment, which it will be
remembered was almost annihilated
at Fort Fisher. One of his brothers,
Mr. E. F. White, was killed at Peters
burg, while fighting in a most heroic-
manner. The subject of this sketch,
in Itis early boyhood became a prin
ter and, with the exception of the
time spent in service, and a few years
after the war in other occupations,
followed the business until he was
compelled by failing health to give
it up. He was a menilier of the
Methodist Church, and, except when
physically unable to attend, was al-
Thoir Places W ill be Hard to Fill.
We regret to announce that there
is a very strong probability that the.
Rev. B. G. Moore, pastor of the Bap
tist church in Darlington and the
Rev. J. L. Yass, pastor of the Swift
Creek Baptist church, will both leave
this section, having been called to
positions elsewhere. Mr. Moore has
been offered n position in the Converse'
college of Spartanburg, and lias also
been elected Professor of English in
the Furman University. Either In
stitution will be extremely fortunate
if it secures Mr. Moore’s services, for
he is, in every way qualified for the.
important work of instructing the!
young.' He has resided in Darling- j
ton for a number of years, and his
ability as a preacher is so well known
that it is almost useless to speak of
it; it being sufficient to say that he is
regarded as one of the ablest men in
the ministry of the Baptist church ih
South Carolina.
Rev. J. L. Yass has been elected
Superintendent of the Baptist Orph-
onage that is to be established at
Greenwood, and while his departure
from our midst will be universally
regretted, it must be admitted that
the committee, having this matter in
hand, have shown excellent judge
ment in selecting Mr. Yass for this
important work; for the fact that in
an institution of this character, suc
cess or failure is in the hands of the
man responsible for its management.
Mr. Yass has business ability, energy
and a large measure of common
sense, and if he is sustained by the
church, will make an institution that
all Baptists may be proud of. He
has done a good work in his church
and added very much to its strength
and influence during his term as pas
tor. All our people, irrespective of
creed, will wish Jjoth these ministers
abundant success in their new fields!
of labor.
Mr. Mcrtz takes pleasure in announc
ing that he has a large eollcetion of
choice flowers for sale at his conserva
tory, one and a half miles from the
Square, ami stands prepared to duplicate
the prices of any other crtablishmcnt in
the South. He keeps the plants suitable
for all the ametuer cultivator, hut If rare
varieties are wanted he can supply them
in a very short time. The editor has
dealt with Mr. Mcrtz for several years,
and can testify to his reliability and to
the splendid condition of all the plants
he sends out.

S. II- Clifford, New Cassel, Wis., was
troubled with Neuralgia and Rheuma

liver was affected to an alarming degree,
