A colored girl nine years old, oamed Mar? garet Brailsford, was found dead one day .Just -week, io tbe woods near ber mother's -bonx, on W. D. Scarborough's place, in Providence. Acting Coroner Sanders held aa inquest over toe body last Wednesday, ?ad the jory found ? verdict of, "Death from starvation sad exposure." A warrant bas issued against bar mother as there is ?uwj\tfon that jniatreatmaut by ber wat of tbtduW'idtath. Deaths. We are pained to hear that the wife of Dr. H. D. Green, of Providence, died last Tries day night, after a short illness. We regret to chronicle the death of a child of Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Dick. The death occured in Charleston last Sunday from diph? theria. Eeligious. Bishop Bowe preached morning; and after? noon in the Episcopal Church here, last Sun? day. Bis Sermons were fully np to the stan? dard of what should be expected from his well trained bead and Christion heart. In the afternoon, most of the other Churches being closed, many of bis friends of other denomi? nations had an opportunity of hearing him, and all left delighted and beneficed by the service. Dr. J. L. G i rad eau, as we announced last week, preached Saturday and Sunday morn? ing to delighted audiences. Dr. Girardeau is a great favorite with the churcb.-going peo? ple of Sumter and he well sustained his' high reputation io bis two sermons here. The meeting of the Black River Union will be at Bethe] (Baptist) Church on Saturday, 29th instant, instead of at Zoar, as announced last week. ^ ^_ Centennial. The Centenary Committee of the Methodist Church, in Sumter District met on Thursday last with the District pastors and laid out the Centennial work for the year. The Com? mittee decided that the main result intended to be achieved by the collections, should be (1) the building of a District Parsonage ; (2) building and repairing churches where aid was needed ; (3) a special endowment for Wofbrd. To facilitate work, the District was divided into three sections and a com? mittee appointed to take charge of the details in each subdivision. August and September were set apart for special collections and mass meetings. -- A Dime Beading Will be held at the residence of Dr. A. J. China on next Friday evening, March 21st, ?

Delegates to the State Agricultural Society. President Sanders bas appointed the fol? lowing gentlemen to represent''the Sumter Park and Agricultural Association'" at the Joint Summer Meeting of the State Agricul? tural Society and the State Grange, to assem? ble at Greenville on Tuesday, 29th July : E W. Moise, J. B. Earle, Jno. S. Rich? ardson, John J. Dargan, .W. R. Delgar, R. M. Cooper and Chas. B. Moise. Early notice is given in order that the del? egates may make their arrangements to go. Trial Justice Court. The School Trustees of this District pushed the prosecution against the bolting delegates who captured the school house, some time a?ro, /or political purposes, an account of which was given in our last ??sue. The case came up last week before Trial Justice San? ders, who placed the damages at $10, which was promptly paid. Tuesday the warring champions, who disturbed the Republican County Conven? tion, last Thursday week, were up before the Court, and after a legal hattie between the lawyers, the Jury found G. W. Murray and R. H. Richardson guilty of an assault upon polioeuiau Weeks and they were tiued $10 each Saturday the Court was remarkably well attended most of the day. Four criminal cases were decided before the matinee closed. The returns of Trial Justice Sanders for the mooth of March have already reached $53. Bis office is evidently self-sustaining. Court Expenses. We get the following figures, giving the expenses of our last Court, from our accom? modating, hard working Clerk of the Board of County Commissioners. Our readers can see where a big pile of the County money goes, especially if they will remember that there are two more coures this year. The expenses -of Court in Sumter County will aggregate about one fourth the amount collected for ordinary County pur? poses. Amount paid Grand Jurors...$ 89 20 Amount paid Petit Jurors. 591 50 Amount paid Court Constables. 133 10 Amount paid Witnesses. 185 60 Amount paid Clerk and Sheriff... 260 25 Total.$1,259 65 S. P. & A. A. The following letter from Mr. Sanders will be read with interest by his friends, who look upon him as the right man in the right place as President of the Sumter Park and Agricul? tural Association ; and we hope the friends of the enterprise will give bim the help that is absolu?ery necessary to make our Fair a success. BAGOOD.S. C., MARCH, 10, 1884. Mr. Editor : Baving seen from the county papers last week, and baving since been noti? fied by our worthy Secretary, that at a recent meeting of the Stockholders of the Sumter Park and Agricultural Association I was again chosen its President. I will take this method of thanking one and all for the honor thus conferred. I accept the arduous duties thus imposed upon me, and will strive to do j ill I can to make the next Fair a greater success than ever before. I approve of the assess? ment of each Stockholder, and hope they will ?li respond to the call cheerfully and prompt? ly as it is the only way that we can well be relieved of our burden. The success of the Fair does not depend entirely upon the Presi Jent but upon the people. Let me therefore urge upon the citizeus of Sumter County the ' importance of taking hold of the matter. Un? lit we have the hearty co-operation of all the ! people it is useless to try and have a Fair. Darlington, I believe, bas the reputation of Deing thc banner county of the State in this .espect. The "Game Cock County" has as nany advantages as Darlington, and if her ritizens would only manifest as much interest n ber welfare as the people of Darlington do, ire could have a Fair that would be secood to j woe ia the State. Respectfully, TBOMAS O. SANDERS. I CHRISTIAN SYMPATHY. A beautiful monument bas been erected over the grave of Miss Lila Edmunds, at our cemetery by her classmates ; aad the following from the Southern Presbyterian will strike a tender chord in the hearts of many of our readers. Mr. Editor: My confidence in the kind forbearance of Christian sympathy overcomes tbe natural reluctance to make mention in print of an act on the part of some of the young people of my congregation, that for delicacy, tenderness, and exquisite refinement crowns all the kindnesses sbown me duriug my miuistry. It pleased God, a few months ago, to take to himself our dear daughter Lila, as she was just entering into womanhood. We can never forget that long, dark ride of twenty-three miles by carriage road, with the now still form that but a few weeks be? fore had gone that way in all the glow and buoyancy of health : nor the sad mid-night waiting for tbe train at the country station ; nor the scene at the depot on our arrival at our destination ; the waiting hearse, the gen? tle movements of friends, who tenderly lifted the dead, and as tenderly led the living to the carriages awaiting them ; nor the sad greeting of the lady friends wno had lighted up our borne in that darkest hour just before the dawn, and had prepared everything for us, so that we could rest free Trora all cares save what our Father's hand laid upon us ; nor the solemnities of the next day ; the comfort? ing words of the man of God, the many tokens of sympathy, the sileot procession, and finally, the solemn commitment of dust to dust, earth to earth, ashe3 to ashes. All these acts of kindness we have cherish? ed in our hearts, giving such expressions of our appreciation as occasion offered. But tbe last act forms so beautiful a climax that we think the many friends of our dear one should know the estimation in wbicb she was held, and that all Christians should have the opportu ; nity to admire the precious phase of our holy religion which this act holds up to their view ' This is the erection by a few of the more j special friends of our daughter of a memorial j slab of the purest marble on a pedestal of the same, at her jrrave, with an inscription which all the circumstances of her life make pecu? liarly appropriate. Over a half-blown rose at the top and in arched form are the words, ;Gone to meet the Bridegroom.' Beneath the emblem is written ; LILA, Second daughter of j Rev. X. W. and M. C. Edmunds, Born August 21. 1862, Left us September 6, 1883. Her lamp was Trimmed and Burning, The Virgins, . Her companions in love and hope, Erect this stone To her memory. May God reward these friends for all their i kindness to his servants. X. W. EDMUNDS.' Mr. Editor : Tbe verses below owe their origin to the following circumstances : A lit- 1 tie more than one year ago, a lady of our County married and moved to Florida. After ten months of wedded happiness, the the death of ber husband left her desolate. The birth of her babe, two weeks later seem? ed to come as a special providence from heaven to comfort the heart-broken mother, and called forth these verses from a friend. * * * Little Madge Hort. The Father called an angel, Swift-winged and robed in light, And bade, "Go cull a flower, The fairest in thy sight." "Then hasten thee and bear it Unto the earth strightway, And on the bear* most lonely Tbe heavenly blossom lay." The Angel heard the summons With radiant head bent low, And from the dear Lord's presence, Arose in haste to go. He bore the heavenly flower Unto a stricken one ; And said "Lo this the Father Hath giveu for thine own. "He charges thee to keep it Forever pure and white ; Ai when ?ow he gives it * Without a spot or blight. "And when Ile choose to call it Hence from this world of sin ; That thou without repining, Shall meekly give it Him." 0 noue save the dear Christ knoweth How from nil the world apart, This little intu?an flower Hath gladdened a mother's heart. AXXIs MCQUKEX. Thomas County, Ga. Resolutions of Stateburg Farmers' Club. MARCH 8, 1884. Resolved, 1st. That we organize ourselves into a committee of the whole club to go to work at once, zealously and laboriously, to make a proper exhibit of the resources of our immediate vicinity [and of the County of Sumter at the "World's Exhibition" to be held at Xew Orleans next winter. 2d. That we earnestly call upon the farm? ers of the County to organize a working club in each township to co-operate with us in the effort to form a County Club tbat shall ad? dress itself forthwith to the labor of securing a creditable representation of the County at the said Exhibition. 3. That we hold onrselves in readiness to undertake any work within our power indi? vidually or collectively, that may be assign? ed us by the State Department of Agricul? ture in the line of preparation fora display of the Agricultural resources of the State at the said Exhibition. 4th. That these resolutions be sent to tbe County papers for publication. THOS. S. SUMTER, Secretary. Sinre the above were adopted information has renched me that one of its members hn3 j been "offic-inlly" nott?ed by the Commission? er of Agricultuie of the plan of organizing the County for work for the Exhibition. Our club only wished to put itself in line j with the Department of Agriculture in this matter, and will go to work vigorously when called upon by the Department, and in entire j harmony with its plan of operations, what- | ever that may be. T. S. S. j I.""o.*G. T. Rev. II. F. Chreitzberg organized, on last Tuesday, a lodge of Good Templars in Cam? den with 58 charter members. In looking over the list, we see the names of the very best j element of Camden society, both in business I aud professional circles, represented iu this enterprise. And if the organization of a lodge with a large membership and composed of the best material, gives any promise of suc? cess, we may look for good work from Cam? den Lodge. The following are the officers : Rev. M. E. Broaddus, W. C. T. Mrs. M. C. Thoraason, W. V. T. Mrs. A. M. Kennedy, R. H. S. Mrs. W. C. Thompson, L. H. S. W. C. Thompson, W. S. Miss J. E. Jones, A.S. Miss Elise K. Doby, F. S. Frank M. Zemp, W. T. Rev. J. D. Andrews, W. C. Henry E. Beard, W. M. Miss Janie M. McHurry, W. I. G. C. W. birchmore, W. 0. G. A. M.Kennedy, P. W. C. T. W. H. Champion. L. D. 1 [For the Watchman and Southron.] Drunken Rowdyism. About 12 o'clock Saturdry night, a psrty of druuken rowdies tore up several of the bridges over Pocotaligo on the Privateer road. Persons going to Sumter to preaching had to go 4 or 5 miles out of their way by Cain's Mill and the old R. R. One who heard it, said there was shouting, firing of pistols, and a big fuss generally, and that some of the plank are floated down the swamp. We do not know upon whom the expense of replacing the bridges will fall ; the County or the contractor, but we think the County Commissioners should investigate it, and if possible bring the guilty parties to justice. This is the direct result of the Sumter bar? rooms, and the people of the town of Sumter are indirectly responsible for this obstruction of the public highway, and destruction of public property. And the good people of Sumter County should so work up public opinion that at the next election this foul blot on ber civilization will be wiped out; and a Council elected who will have the manhood to enforce the law. Let us do everything in our power to encourage and uphold the earnest men who are laboring to destroy the vile traflfic in alcohol. E. W. D. From the Blue Ridge. Mr. James Rideout, formerly of New Eng? land, now of Highlands, N. C. says : "Judg? ing from the evidences, Norman's Neutraliz? ing Cordial is thc best remedy ever introduced here for the cure of diarrhoea and dysentery. I have never yet tried a remedy that cures at? tacks of dyspepsia se quickly and it is so pleasant to take. It must drive all those bit? ter, unpleasant dyspepsia medicines out of the market wherever introduced." Bronchitis is cured permanently by Brew? er's Lung Restorer. Brewer's Lung Restorer, the great lung and throat remedy, is for sale by Dr. D. J. Auld, Agent. Opening the Fountains. In numberless bulbs beneath the skin is secreted the liquid substance which gives the bair its texture, color and gloss. When thia secretion stops, the bair begins at once to be? come dry, lustreless, brittle and gray. Is that the condition of your hair? If so, apply Parker's Hair Balsam ut once. It will restore the color, gloss aud life by renewing the ac? tion of nature. The Balsam is not an oil, not a dye, but an elegant toilet article, high? ly appreciated because of its cleanliness. Kendall's Spavin Cure. ON HUMAN FLESH. Santa Rosa, Cal., Feb. 9th, 1883. B. J. Kendall ? Co., Gentlemen :-l feel it a duty to others suffering with the piles and falling of the rectum to write you. I have I had the piles and prolapsus of the rectum for five years, for the past three years I havesuf- j fered the most agonizing pain.
