Som of the sidewalks ia the south-east of town need some attention. Prudent predes ttiaos ie passing alon g those places dnring darkj take the middle of the streets, rather : than risk sliding into a ditch on one side or raoniag against the fence on the other. Mts. BoioWj of Sanford, Fla., is on a visit to ber aunt, Mrs. W. W. Jenkins, and Mr. Bodbw seat her a box of lemons and oranges lately, which were uaosually fine. We saw two of the lemons which must have measured .22 Sachet ia circumference. Hr. Dalj, from Charleston, who bas been io Sumter several days, says, that Sumter water aad air bas benefited him wonderfully. On bis arri ra I he cou Id scarcely walk without assists PC?, bat DOW he feels like a new mao. Somier is ? good place to live in. We get no Congressional documents this year, and fee! lost. Somebody might send us a COpf of the Congress ional Record occasion air/ so we con Id know when Congress ad joarsavor whether a new tariff bill is on the ! tapis, or if President Arthur bas abdicated, ? or dozens of other things equally import- j ?nt. Piesse somebody send os the news, i Mr. J.W.

That factory makes boxes for dry ; foodf, clothing and shoe merchants, for jfrocers, druggists, stationers, confectioners ? 4UK^Oiiliiners. Northern prices are duplica- j ted ?rf good work guaranteed. It is a home I ; iat??ufto? and deserves our patronage. I Married. On the 10th instant, at the residence of the bride's parents, by Rev. S. J. Hill, Mr. Robt. L. McLeod to Miss Maggie S. Rembert, daughter of J. W. Rembert, Esq., all of this County. On the 3rd instant, at the residence of the bride's mother, by Rev. N. W. Edmunds, Miss Lottie B. McQueen, of Sumter, S. C., to Dr. H. L Reynolds, of Cerro Gordo, N. C. Deaths. Mr. Jas. B. McEWeen an aged citizen of Salem? died on the 5th instant. He was in his 74th year. Dr. Matthew S. Moore an old time citizen of Sumter County, died last week in Cleve? land Ohio, while on a visit to his daughter. Dr. Tho's. J. DuBose, whose illness we chronicled last week, died on Su u day the 13th. He was buried yesterday at the family burying ground at Rose Hill, and the funeral services were performed by Rev. S. J. Hill. Administrators and Executors. The attention of Administrators and Execu? tors is called to the fact that they are required by law, to make annual returns, during the months of January and February, so long as any portions of Estates remain in their hands A penalty is attached upon their failure to do so, which it would be their interest to avoid. Guardians, Trustees, &c, are subject to the same penalty. Mr. T. C. Scaflfe showed us last evening a fiae specimen of woodcock, be had killed while hnnting in tbe afternoon. It was our first experience in handling tbat game bird, and we wonder wby our crack sportsmen do not more often succeed in bagging birds so popular as a dish. The oat crop has been seriously injured by the cold. Young oats are entirely killed, and much of the rest is badly injured. We cannot expect more than haifa crop at best. Our farmers are made of stern stuff though, and their energy will doubtless overcome this new and unexpected calamity. A Lynchburg friend tells the following . One of his neighbors, during the late cold snap, got up early, and feeling the need of a drink, hunted around for the whiskey bottle, which proved to be empty. Ile then entered upon a search for some wine bis wife had made, and after some trouble found it, and discovered that it was frozen stiff as a board. Utterly disgusted with life, he went back to bed. Our Exchanges. . The Nei&erry Herald bas completed its nineteenth vol um eand enters the uew year with bright prospects for the future. The Palmetto Post has just eutered its third year, lt has had a sharp fight tor existence^ but pluck will win, and the Pott is now on the up grade. The Darlington Kevcs bas commenced its eleventh volume. "Tbe top o' the morning to you" b roi her. The Carolina Spartan has commenced its 41st volume, and shows every evidence of a vigorous maa hoc i. The Mirlboro Democrat has changed edi? tors, Mr. J. L. McLaurin, its former editor having withdrawn, and Messrs. T. I. Rogers and P. B Hanter taking his place. Those gentlemen, ia making their bow to the read? ers of the Democrat, among other good things say : "We do cot promise to please you all, nor indeed ore of you, nor shall it be our ob? ject So to do. Our single effort shall be lo promote what is'right in Religion, without knowing any sect, wbat is honest iu business, knowing uo profession, and as the embodi? ment of both these what is democratic io politics."' We can sign our names to sucha platform with all sincerity. The January number of Golden Days is on our table, filled as usual with good things for boys and girls. The American Agriculturist. For January, 1884, opens in excellent stylo the 43d volume of the leading farm journal ol' the .world, lt abounds in reliable advice on very many important and seasonable topics. Amon^r the instructive t=ill-j)?ire enjri-Hvings we find, 'The First Snow Storm -Talking Over the Crop Pnos{?ects,' and 'A Poor Show for Bunny.' Mr. Trumble presents portraits of six of the leading types of Tramps. Other fully illustrated articles are, Plans of a Small Carn ; Preventing Cattle from Browsing ; Pigeon Houses ; Feeding Boxes ; Wash Room, and many convenient, labor-saving devices. Among plants, we find pictures of two new Blackt*erries ; The Ironwood: Calf Kill; Hop Hornbeam, etc. The Household is complete? ly filled with valuable hints and suggestions, and the boys and girls w ill find they have their full share of entertaining reading. Among the contributors, we find such well known writers as E. P. Roe, Rober\ B. Roosevelt, Prof. S. R. Thompsou, Geo. Glen? don, Dr. G. A. Stockwell, Dr. Geo. Tnurber, Orauge Judd, Dr. D. D. Slade, Dr. B. D. Hulsted, D. Z. Evans, E. E Rexford, P. H. Jacobs, and Agnes (Carr) Sage, with very many others. David W. Judd adds four il? lustrated columns of Western Editorial Note3. From the artistic and beautiful first cover page to the last, the whole number is brim full of valuable matter for the Farm, Garden and Household, presented in a most pleasing form. Price, $1.50 a ?ear, Single numbers 15c. -~*-?a?->- - - Extensive Art Gallery. Next to the Bible, no book is more useful than Webster's Dictionary. The Unabridged is an extensive art-gallery containing over three thousand engravings, representing almost every animal, insect, reptile, implement, plants, etc., which we know anything about. It is a vast library, giving information on al? most every mentionable subject. It indeed has been well remarked that it is the most remarkable compendium vf human knowledge in 1 our language. The value of its Illustrated Definitions, the pictures in Webster under the 12 words, Beef, Boiler, Castle, Column, Eye, IJursc, Moldings, Phrenology, Ravelin, Ships, (pages 1164 and 1219) Steam Engine, Timbers, \ define 343 words and terms far better than can be defiued in words. Rice's Pleasure Party, which exhibits here j on next Saturday night, is intended to make j the audience laugh and always succeeds, j judging by what is said of it by the press. I The Company is composed of .'ine actors and | the puus, pretty songs and ludicrous situa-; tiona are intensely enjoyable. 'Our Goblins' j is a gruesome name for so comical amass of jollities, but there is nothing in a name, and j those wbo go may prepare to laugh early and [ i>fteu. The Cincinnati Enquirer says : The Pleasure Party, a jolly company of! fine comedians made their first appearance at ! Henck's last night in an extravaganza called 'Our Goblins' before an audience that pack id this large theatre to almost suffocation, j Fhe company made the biggest, most genuine I bit of anjr that have appeared in this house ! since it has been a theatre, and this is saying ; * good deal, as, this season especially, some 5neattractions have played at this house, j Fhe fun commences at the rising of the cur tain? and it continues until the tag of the . piece. In addition to any amount of lively, ? popular music of the day, solo and concerted j pieces are introduced, which are magnificent ly rendered. We pronounce the company far j mperior to any of its style. There has not . >een an entertainment in this city that gave loy better satisfaction than did 'The Goblins' j lft*t night, and tbe week will be one of the j wceesses of the season, Bright is the rosy blush of evening skies, And bright the waves that 'neath the moon? beams flow; Bright are the beams from Beauty's laughing eyes, And blight the flowers that in the woodland glow ; But brighter far the bloom of health to me, On cheeks whose owners stick to H. H. P. 'No sir, my daughter can never be yours.' 'I don't want ber to be my daughter !' broke in the young ardent. 'I want ber io be my wife.'_ The best tonic medicine-one that is not composed mostly of alcohol or whiskey-is Brown's Iron Bitters. It 1*3 guaranteed to be non-intoxicating and will absolutely kill all desire for whiskey and other intoxicants. It has been thoroughly tested and proven itself in every instance a never failing cure for dys? pepsia, indigestion, billiousness, weakness, debility, overwork, rheumatism, neuralgia, consumptive disease, liver complaints, kidney trouble, etc. W. C. McGregor, Columbia, S. C. says : 'Brown's Iron Bitters has merit and it has given satisfaction.' The Ex-Sheriff of Iredell County, N. C., Mr. W. F. Wasson, says : 'Brown's Iron Bit? ters has improved my digestion and general health.' _ Bob Ingersoll's middle name is Green. Per? haps that's the reason he thinks he will never burn. _ Dark rings around the eyes indicate the ex? istence of worms. Hasten to use Shriner's Indian Termifuge to expel these miserable pests. It is a safe and reliable agent. Al? ways use it according to the directions, and it will do its work well. A young man in Kansas wanted to teach school, but couldn't teU horizontal from per? pendicular, and when asked what 'circular' was, said it was a fur-lined cloak. Swift's Specific (S. S. S.) has relieved me of an obstinate case of Dry Tetter, which had trouble me for twenty-five years, and had bafHed all sorts of treatment. REV. I. R. BRANHAM, Macon Ga. The Washington milkmen are not allowed j to ring bells, as they disturb the elumbers of I the policemen. They might be allowed to j use dumb bells. i Important to both Ladies and Gen? tlemen. j Two New Books just published giving an I exhaustive treatise on Medical Electricity Gal ; vanism and Magnestism, together with their I self application on the treatment and cure of j Weaknesses incident to men and ?Vornen, j * Both works are illustrated.
