Hr. Iseman, when he opened his store in
September, told his clerks that he would give
a nice snit of clothes to the one making the
. most cash sales between that time and Christ?
mas. Hr. Eogene Moses was the fortunate
youth, and has received one of Mr. Iseman's
, best suits, in retara for the faithful work
' done in the interest of bis employer.
Some of our young men, ever mindfol, as
aS oar yoong men are, of toe wishes, even
though unuttered, unexpressed, of their
' yoong lady friends, arranged for an imprcptn
dance at the residence of Gen. E. W. Moise
on the night after Christmas. Sweet music
and pretty moss winged the hours, and part?
ing time came all too soon, after spending a
most pleasant evening in gay festivities.
Dr. D. J. Anld has built a gallery in the

Shaw, Fourth Knight, crowned Miss Minnie
Green.
There were thirteen gallant Knights in the
ring, and the performance will be repeated to?
day at Bisbopville.
Christmas Tree.
Monday even io g was a bright time, not?
withstanding the gloomy weather and lower- {
ing clouds, to the pupils of the Misses Hursts'
School. A Christmas Tree, with all its con?
comitants, was erected at tbe residence of Mr.
C. M. Horst, and the little folks, from 4 till 8
o'clock, had a most jolly time. At 7 P. M.
Santa Claus, in propria persona, with snowy
locks and impressive countenance entered the
crowded rooms, and. after a short speech to j
the wide-eyed, open-mouthed youngsters,
proceeded to gi ve out the presents. %he old
Saint showed his carnal nature and apprecia?
tion of good things, by insisting upon a kiss
from ali the girls. Some of them seemed a Ht
tie bashful, bat others gave him vigorous
bugs, and the old chap doubtless had a real
sice time. After the presents were distri?
buted, cakes, pies, fruits, candies were fed to
the youngsters in profusion. Then some
fireworks, and then home. The Watchman
K 9^ Southron was kindly remembered in a tin
born, wi lb which it doubtless awoke th?
echoes oo the birth of the new'year, this
mbiuing. One of the staff got a hage stick
ofcaudy, ami he feels sweet all over to-day.

Cotton Seed Oil* Mill.
* Maj. Dargan bas received a communication
from a Pensylvaoia gentleman, making in?
quiries as to the practicability of establishing
a cotton seed oil mill in Sumter, and while
speaking about it, one of Mayesville's go
ahead citizens, said that bis town wanted just
such an establishment, and that be was not
only willing to invest considerably ia the en?
terprise, but would also give a lot for the
purpose. We see no reason why such a mill
would not pay handsomely here, and we are
confident that Sumter could-if it would
offer as many inducements as any place in the
county, besides being more centrally located
for th? purchase of seed.
Electra.
This first class Magazine is promptly on
hand. It is one of the best published for
Schools and Colleges, and our older young
people. No other Magazine is specially de?
voted to their literary cultivation. Its aim
is so high and its pages so attractive, that
all will be pleased.
It was started in May, 1883, and in Sep?
tember, "At Rome arid Abroas*" was purchas?
ed, and its subscribers added to the large
number already taking the Electra. It is
published at Louisville, Ky., at S2 per year.
We will club it with the Watchman and
Southron at $3.50 for both.
New Publication.
We are in receipt of Part 12, of the "John
Hopkins University Studies in Historical and
Political Science." Tbi3 paper contains a
brief history of Local Government in South
Carolina from its earliest settlement. It also
contains a sketch of the various Free School
Systems of the State. Commencing in 1712,
when the first free school! was commenced ic
Charleston, it traces the progress of educa?
tion np to the war when 20,000 children at?
tended free schools, atan expense of $200,000.
Much valuable infonaatiou can be found in
its pages.
Supper.
I Claremont Lodge, No. 64, A. F. M., after
I the installation of its officers, on the 27th De
j cember, celebrate&ibe festival of St. John, the
! Evangelist, by a supper at the Jervey House.
I The occasion was very pleasant; friend Jer?
vey bad a capital supper for the brotherhood,
and the members enjoyed it immensely.
Claremont Lodge has one or two valiant
trenchermen whose reputation stand deserved?
ly high, as able eaters on such occasions, and,
as in the past, they did entire duty on this
important occasion. Mr. Jervey beamed
upon bis guests with all the hospitable io?
j stincts of a veritable landlord, and viewed the
[ magical disappearance of the good things, so
! abundantly furnished, with the greatest plea
; sure, and looked as if be felt sorry that tbe
j brotherhood could not consume all he bad
I placed before them.
! Fatal Accident.
A young man, Jessie Conyers, son of j
Robert Coayers, of Shiloh towhsbip, was j
thrown from bis horse near Wo'ds' mill, on
Saturday, the 22nd inst., about 12 o'clock, j
and died that night at eight. He with a
young companion were running their horses, j
and his horse, on coming to a fork of thc road, :
j ]
suddenly turned, which creeced bim beyond re- ',
; covery, throwiug him against a pine, his bead j
striking, causing death in a few hours. He '
never spoke after falling. This 5? thesecoud sad !
accident that bas befallen Mr. Conyers' farai- i
ly. A few years ago, in felling a tree bim- j
self, a son about sixteen became excited, and
in runniog to avoid the falling tree, unfortu- j
nately took the wrong direction, and was
caught, one of the limbs pinning him to the
ground, causing death in a short time.
DEBRIS.
In the bright autumnal days tbe temptation
to comfortable exposure yields its fruit in a
most pernicious congh and irritation of the
throat. Dr. Bull's C?ugb Syrup stands un?
rivaled as a remedy for throat and lung dis?
eases. 25 cents a bottle.
Toong Jones, talking of his sweetheart,
who bas recently died, said : 'Oh, but she
was a dear girl ; fair of face, perfect of form, ?
sweet, lovely and delicious, and how she did
love ice cream and dancing.'

Prohibition Still Alive 1
The Charter of thc Town of Sumter, (scc
! tion 20, page 630 of Acts of Assembly 1870
j Tl,) provides "That the said Intendant and
! Wardens shall have full and exclusive power
to graut OT refuse licenses to keep tavern*, to
retail spirituous liquors," &c. The new
Charter, passed at the late session of the Leg?
islature, does not repeal the above.
Friends of good order, elect a Council in
April next, pledged to refuse licenses, which
ruin our young mee, and make widows and
orphans of onr women and children, and ali
will yet be well. A FATHER.
Why suffer longer from dyspepsia, indiges?
tion, want of appetite, loss of strength, lack
of energy, malaria, intermittent fevers, etc?
Brown's Iron Bitters never fail to cure these
diseases. They act like a charm on the di?
gestive organs, removing all dyspeptic symp?
toms, such as belching, heartburn, bilious?
ness, etc. Remember it is the only iron pre?
paration that will not blacken the teeth or
give headache. Ask your druggists concern?
ing its merit.
Mr. F. P. LoDg, White Plains, S. C..
says : 'My wife used Brown's Iron Bitters for
general debility and gained both appetite
tod strength
Rev. Elijah Wilson, Wrightsville, Pa.,
says : 'Brown's Iron Bitters have permanent?
ly cured me of chills and fever.'
The great demand for Shriner's Indian
Vermifuge is solely due to its intrinsic value.

Akron, Ohio, May 7th 1880.-Some three
year? ago I had a horse become very lame
from a Spavin. I treated it with Kendall's
Spavin Cure with marked success. Since
then I have sold a great many bottles,* and
have heard of cures resulting from its use. I
am frank to say I can cheerfully recommend
it as an honest remedy. Yours truly,

Disease is an effect, not a cause. Its origin
is within: its manifestations without. Hence,
to cur? the the disease the cause must be re?
moved, and in no other way can a cute ever
be effected. WARNER'S SAFE KIDNEY
AND LIVER CURE ia established on just
this principle. It realizes that
95 Per Cent.
of all diseases ans? from deranged kidneys
and liver, and it strikes at once at the root of
the difficulty. The elements of which it is
composed act directly upon these great organs,
both as a food and restorer, and, by placing
them in a healthy condition, drive disease
and pain from the system.
Fer the innumerable troubles caused by un?
healthy Kidneys, Liver and Urinary Organs;
for the distressing Disorders of Womeu ; for
Malaria, and for physical derangements gen?
erally, this great remedy has no equal. Be?
ware of imposters, imitations f.nd concoctions

My cousin and I had a valuable stallioj
worth $400 which had a very bad ?parin ai
was pronounced by four eminent veterii
surgeons, beyond any caro, and that the hoi
was' done forever. As a last resort. I
vised my cousin to try- a bottle of Kendal
Spavin Cure. It bad a magical effect,
third bottle cured it and the horse is aa
as ever. Dr. Dick of Edioburg, the emine

Dr. B. J Kendall & Co., DearSire :-I pnr-\
chased at Louisville, Ky., a Tety^flne bj
colt, and in shipping he got his bocST
hurt on the outside of the joint which caused
it to swell three or four times the natural
size, which roade bim very lame. I tried *
great manr .iniments which failed to benefit
the injured part. At last when disgusted,
and ready to give up the colt as ruined, I
happened to see your advertisement of "Ken* -
dall's Blister and Spavin Cure," and thought
I would give it a trial, I first applied the
"Blister" to the hock which by this time had
become calloused, and to my surprise found it
work like a enarra. In tweniy four houri
the part that was hard became soft and th?* jj
Iaroelpss began to leave. I then got some of
"Kendall's Spavin Cure" au? applied it ac? -
according to directions , which bas made a
perfect cure, and the celt is now as sound as
any horse alive. 1 merely write this letter to
you, as ! think it a duty I owe to you, and
slfo for the good of the public ai large.
The foregoing statement I will make affi*
davir.ro, and can also bare the same verified_~
by the best horsemen in our city who saw the
before and after treatment.
