We hope our readers have read thc address of Mr. T. O- Sanders, President of the S. P. j & A. Association, which we published Inst week, and that the next Fair, will be a . success both in attendance and exhibits. We . understand that horse racing bas been sept raJedeotirely from tho legitimate business ^ot the Association, and there is no reason why our County should not give a helping hand n> so important an enterprise. .. Mt. A. A. Solomons asks the public to call and examine his new stock, lt comprises al? most every thing you may need either for use or ornament, and at prices to suit the times. clerks are just right.

Sells' Circus. Wif-fcr .ve received a call from Mr. Peter Sells, 'Jr., Jfeese Agent for Sells' Circus, which is to exhibit in this town on Wednesday, 3d Octo? ber. Mr. Sells is n pleasant gentleman and he assures ns that his show is one of the finest co'-foe?Dad anywhere, and thjmit is the best etr?pped.one that has erer ?eared in the Bodtborc States. Appointment. Mr. G. H. Reid, of Bishopville, has been appointed Trial Jostice, vice R. E. Carnes, who resigned a short time ago. We com? mend Mr. Carnes for his action. There were certain duties connected with his office that I he would not perform, and rather than em ! barras3 the wheels of government, he stepped I down and ont. I We take it to be the duty of any official, who either cannot or will not perform the i duties appertaining to the office he holds, and which are made incombent upon bim Ky bis oath, or by the wishes of his constituents, to resign. _ Just opened, 50 pieces of Armure and Bro? caded Dress Goods at 12 J cents, same as formerly soid at20 cents, at J. Rvttenberg & Sons._ School Figures. Our School Commissioner, Mr. J. D. Wil? der, has completed his report to the State Superintendent, and we extract some items : Number of schools 100 ; Pupils, white 1449, colored 4239, total 5688 ; average at? tendance 3127. Of the above, 408 were in the alphabet, 4035 in spelling and 3811 read? ing. There are about 1800*in arithmetic and geography, 1100 in grammar and 170 in higher branches. The public owns 38 houses, the remainder are private property. There are 106 teachers, SO of whom are white and 46 colored, 48 are males, 58 females. For the school year jost ended $10,703.45 were paid teachers, and ?67.50 were paid for rent The average monthly salary of males was $24.50, females $20. 1 Thc above figures are not what we would like them to be. It makes a satisfactory showing for colored children, but not for the whites. If there were private schools scattered overonr County, the picture would not look so darfc, but ontside the towns of Sumter and MayesviNe, we doubt if there are half dozen private schools in tbe county. There is an average attendauce of 960 white children attending the public schools, and perhaps three times that number at home growing up io ignorance. This is a serious matter and one ibat demands the earnest at? tention of every lover of his country. Bask. An informal meeting of the subscribers to the Sumter Bauk was held to-day, with Major Moise presiding. Fifty thousand dol? lars ia bona ?de subscriptions were reported, and ?tis well assured that the requisite 50 j per cent, will be paid in, so there need be no : doubt of the organization, the first of October Messrs. J. H. Ebernart and Waiter Wroten bare opened a Green Grocery, in the store next to Messrs. Ricker <fc Co., and keep a sup- ? ply of fresh and salt Fisb, Vegetables, Fruits, j &c, which will be a great convenience to 1 housekeepers.

Hereafter, Sells Brothers'name will be as j good oo a show-bill ns Vanderbilt's is on a i bank cheek.-Binghamton [Ar. J".] Daily Re \ publican. Sells Brothers'great exbibittonal venture, which is to unfold its canopied treasure houses at Sumter Wednesday, Oct. 3, has finally solved for us thc much discussed, so j called 'problem of life.' That problem, here I ana now, has resolved itself into the oue great I question, not of who is going to the big show. ! but who can possibly be lett at borne on the j great day of its appearance. Having j thoroughly convinced the public that it is an I honestly advertised exhibit ion, and that it.s [ promises are as good as old Vanderbilt's, or j any other mao's, there is going lo be many a j domestic mutiny of 'irrepressible conflict' dimensions, when it comes to deciding who j are not to be permitted to feast amazement ? with wonder-io?nded eyes, by gazing upon ! its huge pair ot' full-grown Hippopotami, i strange Woolly Elephants, maje$;i<- Giraffes, rare Midget Dwarf Elephant, Arctic Amphi? bia performing Colorado Cattle, tremendous Tigers, roaring Sea Lions, gigantic Felines. Monster Two-horned White Rhinoceros, fifty tons of performing animals. Tn the Circus department will bf found a ! hundred of the very best nrtists in the world, j who will daily appear at each performance. Then all should witness the magnificent free I street paarade, with its enormous caravan of I Asiatic and African Elephants, its SulUn j like army of Camels, its three Bands, Levia J than Locomotive Steam Orchestra, and living avalanche of dazzling sensations, which the average boy would walk ten miles on his hands to see. For the sake ot peace, and in the name of universal enjoyment, spare no effort so to arrange it that all muy take in the best show of their life-times, and ono vvliose mem? ory will bc a continual pleasure. Dr. J. G. McGuire, Auamosa, Ia.,says; 'I know Brown Iron BiUers is a good tonic and gives general satisfaction.' Attention ! every one. Have you heard of Kendall's Spaviu Cnre? See advertisement. [For the. Watchman and Southron.J SUMTER, S. C., SEPT. 25, 1883. Mr. Editor: It is my honest conviction, and I think it universally conceded hy both the white and colored voters of Sumter, that Capt. L. P. Loring is the man for our next Warden. He is broad-minded and conserva? tive, and well understands the duties of that office, and I hope he will get the entire vote of the town. Yours respectfully, M. H. FIELDS. OBITUARY. DIED-In San Francisco, Cal. September 10th, 1883, THOMAS CHESTER, infant son of WM. E. and MARY C. DuBois, a native of San Francisco, aged 9 months and 25 days. THE BABY" IS DEAD. And is it true? The baby dead ? "No ;" gone before-the Spirit fled To Him-a loving Father sent It for a season-yes, only lent To draw onr heart a little nearer, To render selves a little dearer. Unmindful of the burial day, Unfeeling strangers turn away, 'Tis not their child, but raine instead, Whose name is registered-as dead. This little coffin, narrow, small, Contains-Oh, God-contains my all. A precious little piece of clay, Reminder of a Summer day. But all my hopes, forever hid Beneath that little ccffio lid. Forgetful of His mercies-dare I raise my heart to bim. in prayer ? When he has sent by angel call For one so loved-my life, my all? I kiss the cheek, the lips, the brow, Baby mine not longer now. The toys with which he used to play, The garments lay them all away, They only make me sad again And fill my very soul with pain. What's left for rae in future years, To compensate for all these tears? Oh, give me hack my child instead, I can't believe it. Is he dead? [From the Southern Presbyterian.] Died, September 6th, 1883, after an illness of fifty-two days, at the home of her brother in-law, H. Lide Law, Esq., Hartsville, Dar? lington County, S. C., ELIZA HIBBEN, second daughter of Rev. N. W. and Mary Claudia Edmunds, aged twenty-one years. It almost breaks our hearts, dear "Lila," to give you up, so young, so loving, and so beloved. But we are comforted by theassur ance that the beauty and fragrance of your few years of life, and the impress of the pa? tient sufferirfg of your many days of languish? ing Imve left a sweet savor of Christ which tells us that you did not live in vain.

"When Greece her knees-Greece her knees ! -Greece her knees," stammered an embar- j rassed school-boy, forgetting the next line cf ! his recitation "There is no occasion to | grease anybody's knees," shouted his teach-', er "Go and study your piece."

Keeping his hand on the wheel as he said this, Mr. A. Brockman, of No. 2??? Silver street.
