On last thursday, the 10th by the Rev. Dr. Griffith at the residence of the bride's father, Mr. Edgar Plowden, Mr. Wentworth Durant to Miss M. Piowdeo, ali of Clarendon.

Edmonds, Miss Deute Hammett, formerly of Sumter, to Mr. B. A. Williams, all of Richland. Deaths. We learn with regret of the death of Mrs. L. H. Peebles, wife of Captain L. H. Pe-bles? of the Antioch section of Kershaw County, which occurred on the 9th lost. Capt. Doby, whose illness was mentioned in our paper some time back, died hist Satur? day in Columbia. His remains were brought back to Sumter on Sunday. Dr. Matthew S- Moore. The death of Dr, Mattthew S. Moore, of which we made a brief mention last week, has created wide spread feeling of sorrow among the large circle of warm friends both ia the North and South. Dr. Moore was well known in Sumter County before the war. At its commencement, he was appoint? ed Surgeon of the 1st S. C. Artillery, and was stationed at Fort Sumter, where he re? mained till its close. The war swept away j his property, and with a large family upon | hts bauds he accepted a flattering offer made j by professional friends at Fredonia, New York, where be soon built up a lucrative practice, and formed a large circle of admir? ing friends. Being afflicted with some heart troubles, be gave op bis practice some months ago ?nd went to Cleveland, Ohio? to spend the winter with his daughter, Mrs. Dr. W" J. [ Moore. Hts death was sudden, but he had j been looking the grim monster in the face for I months, knowing that death might come at j any moment. A Fredonia paper in speaking of his funeral says: At his funeral, whiclvwas attended at the Protestant Episcopal Church, hundreds I of families were represented, and the exhibi? tion of sorrow was as if death bud smitten; one io every household. As his affections j and sympathies and charities were broader I than any school or class or sect, so from all j sources alike came the tributes of respect to j his true and loyal nature. Surely in his { earlier home friends with tenderer hands or warmer hearts could not have borne him to his rasTTesting place or felt a more assured hope that it will be well with him hereafter. Echoes of the M. E. Conference? The pulpit of the Methodist E. Church, South, was on last Sabbath, occupied bl? inni isters of the M. E. Church. Rev. W. ff. Lawrence, the Pastor of Centenary Church, Charleston, delivered,at the ll o'clock ser? vice, an eloquent and thoughtful sermon from the text "Our Father" and dwelt upon the various conceptions of Deity by the human mind in contrast with God as manifested in Christ Jesus. H is comparison between Jesus Christ and Socrates was peculiarly fine. Thc sermon left a pro lound im press ion on the large audience present. At night, Bishop Bowman delivered a most cbarmingand instructive lecture on his Epis? copal tour through India. The Bishop has a most pleasing address, smooth and eloquent utterances, and the gift of arresting and hold? ing the undivided attention of his audience. We regret that space forbids a synopsis of the lecture, hut it will be enough when we say we have never listened to a more interest? ing and instructive account of Mission fields. The Rev. Dr. Fowler, Missionary Secretary of the M. E. Church, conducted the introduc? tory exercises at both services. These gentle? men have left a good impression on the com? munity. An Important Enterprise. The ladies of the Methodist congregation have organized ?society in Sumter, entitled 'The New Church Building Aid Society," the object of which is to render such aid, and project such plans, as may be necossary for procuring a new Methodist Church in Sumter. The due* and fees incident to membership, j are intended to constitute a reserve fund jipon ! which to draw when necessary in carrying out the objects of the organization. At an j enthusiastic meeting held yesterday, Mrs. M. j Sanders was elected President, with an ener- j getic set of officers to support her. The first i entertainment proposed is a dumb supper, to j be given early next month, which will be j given free to all who can eat it without laugh- j ing or talking. Those who do either, will ? pay for it. This will inaugurate a series of entertainments to be held all through the ! Summer, and winding up tu the Fall, with a j "Great Fair." It has been so long since our j Methodist friends have had entertainments of 1 such a nature? that they have a right to ex- j peet the patronage of the community, aud we j wish them the most abundant success. Oar Exchanges. _ The Lancaster lie view was frozen u pouring i the late cold spell and lost a week. We sym- . pathize with our neighbor for we know from i experience, the meaning and intent of a leaky > roof after a snow storm. We try to lead a ! consistent life, tat naughty words will rise to the lips at such times. The Keowee Courier bas a thoughtful, care? fully written editorial, upon Col. Townes' j letter approving Senator Butler's bill repeat* i ing the internal revenue tax. We like the j Courier'? article, as it answers very success- j fully the Colonel's letter, which, by the way, j is thc only published approval we bare seen, j of Senator Butler's Bill. Our sprightly, newsy and always readable j cotemporary, the Anderson Journal has com- j menced its ninth volume, and judging from ! its bright face, it must have bright prospects ; for the future. We congratulate thc Williamsburg Tailler \ that the name of Graham's X Roads has been ! changed. The following from that spicy ? sheet tells the tale : We trust that uur exchanges will bear in j mind that the postoffice here as well as the j name of this place has been changed to Lake City. No more X Roads in ours. The babe j is ont of ye woods. Any of our readers desirous of subscribing j to the Weekly News cnn be accommodated j through this office.

The yetes and Courier, has arranged, by cable, for the publication io the weekly yews, j of a new novel by Miss M. E. Braddon, the I author of Bead-Sea Fruit, Lady Audley's Sc I eret, Aurora Floyd, and a large number of ! other popular novels. Ishmael, the latest J work of Miss Braddon, promises to be as ab- | ! sorbing in interest as any of its predecessors, j and will add largely, therefore, to the at trac- | tions of the weekly yews. Miss Braddon, beyond peradventure, is the j strongest of the novelists of the sensational j school, and is now doing her best literary work. The publication of Ishmael in 'he Weekly yews will take place at the same time as its publication weekly in England. The open? ing chapters, printed here from ad vance sheets, will appear on January 30th, and the story will run for twenty-six weeks. Long before the publication of Ishmael shall have been completed, the publication of the sketches en? titled "Our Womenin the War" will have be? gun. These sketches are expected to be con? tinued during the whole of the present year. Business transactions, though the parties be thousands of miles from each other, are* quickly completed in these days. Io the morning, Ishmael was offered to the yews and Couricrby the English publishers. The terms being satisfactory, the proposition was accept? ed by a cablegram which was dispatched from Charleston between eleven o'clock and noon. Before 3 P. M. a cablegram was received from England announcing the completion of the bargain, and giving the name of the new story. The price of the Weekly Aw? is S2 a year. Five copies ordered at the same time $9 25 ; ten copies $17.50. Clubbing price, $1.50 a, year. We copy the following from tue Laurensville Herald, for the sake ef the names : Married, at the residence of the bride's mother on the 25th of Decem? ber, 1883, by Rev. A. C. Stepp, Mr. Robert Mills Preston Brooks Balentine and Miss Cleopatra Hasel tiue Victoria Emiline Lafayette Bolt, both of Laurens County, S. C. Dr. J. M. Klein, Walterboro, S.C. says: 'Brown's Iron Bitters have given universal satisfaction. They are famous.' Col. A. L. Campbell, Walterboro, S. C., says : 'A member of ray family used Brown's Iron Bitters with good results.' . 'I am going to plant my foot down, said the lady of the house in wrathful tones.
