School House Burned.
I The School House in Privateer situated
near ' the Manchester line was burned the
-night of the 10th. Some seem to think that
\ it was burned by some of the children in

these exhibits will come throngs of visitors
which .will make New Orleans for the time

Letter from a Farmer.
PROVIDENCE, S. C., DEC. 15, 1884.
Mr. Editor: I noticed in your paper of the
;nd instant, that a Farmers' Club had been
rganized. This is a move io the right
direction. Every farmer ought to joio aod
rio with the determination to make it a sue-,
ess. Not as a semi political or literary club,
rbere the dispoodeot small farmer, anxious
o gain practical information as to the best
sode of tiling the soil aod managing the
inn, would hear nothing but flights of eloq?
uence, and behold intrigue for place aod
ower, bot as a farmers' club, pure aod
impie; a society that will shed light upoo
lie scientific subject of farming. Farming is
ecoming year by year more and more of a
dence, aod the time for loose aod reckless
iming to succeed, has passed. You farmers
rho are succeedicg by your mode of cultiva
too aod management of :be farm, joio if yon
ave oot; thereby putting yourselves in the
ositioo to confer an inestimable boon upoo
our less fortonate brothers. All who waot
ght Qpoo the subject of farmiog joio. I say
> all farmers joio at the cext meeting of the
iub OD the 13th of January. Ia the meao
rae devote some little time to the subject
5 that you will be prepared to give us some
metical ideas upon farming. I would sag?
est that at the next meeting of the club,
nmmiMees be appoioted for cottoo, cora,
ats, wheat, &c, whose duty shall be to devise
?ays and means to raise money for the
urpose of giving premiums to those who
iise the most cotton, corn, oats or wheat on
ne, two or five acres of land, over and above
be cost of producing the same The success?

EXCURSION TICKETS
-TO
NEW ORLEANS,
GOOD TO RETURN UNTII
May the 1st, 1885.
We would inform you, friends
and customers, that if you intend
going to New Orleans daring the
Exhibition, you should buy all
your GROCERIES from us, be?
cause we guarantee that by so do?
ing you can save money enough to
buy a
TICKET TO NEW ORLEANS
and return, and have plenty to eat
and drink besides.
The Railroad Companies through?
out the country have agreed to re?
duce the rates so as to enable every
one to go. We have made up our
mind and do hereby agree and
promise to sell you everything in
our line at reduced prices so as to
enable every one to have a nice
time during the coming holidays.
Dear Reader, what more eau you
expect, and why will you not buy
all your groceries from us and then
take what is left and buy a
RETURN TICKET TO NEW ORLEANS
and see the GRANDEST SHOW
the world has ever produced.
CHRISTMAS
Being near at hand we would like
you to give us your attention just
long enough to read what we have
for sale and then write out a nice
order for what you know you will
need, and we will fill it and rest
assured you will be pleased with
both goods and prices.
We have just received a nice
line of PRESERVES and FRUIT
BUTTERS, JELLIES and
Atmore's Mince Meat,
We have them in different size
packages and also at retail. Also
all kinds of DRIED FRUITS,
such as
Evaporated Apples, Peaches,
Prunes and Dried Figs,
DATES, CURRANTS AND CITRON,
We have a fine lot of LONDON
LAYER RAISONS and would
call special attention to our Rais?
ons put up in quarter boxes. They
are very choice and a nice size box
for every household.
We call attention to our
FXJL70RX2T& EXTRACTS.
They are of triple strength and
warranted pure goods. Also our
large stock of
CANNED FRUITS, MEATS
AND VEGETABLES.
As we only handle standard brands
of canned goods we say again that
this is the place to buy them and
get full value for your money.
TEAS.
In a few days we will receive a
large invoice of Teas and we ask
you to try our Teas and be con?
vinced that we sell a better Tea for
less money than you can buy
abroad. We hear people often say,
"We buy our groceries in cities
because they sell sugars at cost."
We would remind you of the fact
that no merchant can make a liv?
ing by selling his wares at cost,
and if he should offer you sugar at
cost he must and will charge more
for other goods. We make it a
rule to sell all goods at small liv?
ing profits, and are glad to inform
you that so far, we have succeeded
in getting a liberal share of the
trade in Sumter County, and by
FAIR AND SQUARE DEALING
we hope to ssll you double the
amount of goods during the com?
ing year, and thus save you money.
COFFEES.
We sel! a great deal of Roasted
Coffee, and you can always rely on
getting fresh Roasted Coffees at
our store, because the people will
not let it remain long enough to uc?
e?me stale. We offer now a roast?
ed coffee in packages called * 'Stag
Brand." It is a Java and Mocha
mixed, aod is without doubt a
fine drink-try a pound. We cnn
give you a^ fair article of roasted
coffee at 15 cents, and an extra
fine Rio at 20 cents per pound.
In past years we have always
found it a difficult matter to supply
our trade with FINE CONFEC?
TIONERIES. In order to reme?
dy this and to please every one, wo*
would say that we are receiving by
far the largest and finest stock of
FRENCH CANDIES ever han?
dled by one merchant anywhere
and the beauty of it is we sell it so
cheap, thus enabling a young lady
to get two pounds where otherwise
she might only get one. We
can put candies up in any size
boxes you may desire and we will
give you a nice assortment. Hav?
ing thus supplied a long felt want 3
in the Town of F-irater, wo trust
that the young people of this town '
will give us their orders for all
kinds of Confectioneries they may
want during thc holidays.
Before closing we ask you to re?
member that we carry in stock
Choice Butter, Fancy Cream 0
Cheese, Switzer Cheese, Import?
ed Bologna, Dutch Herrings,
Pickled Pigs' Feet, Sauer Kraut,
Plain and Self llaisiug Buckwheat,
Oat Meal, White Beans, New Or?
leans Syrup and Molasses, (New
Crop,) and last, but not least,
Cranberry Sauce in cans-nice j
thing to eat with turkey.
Always glad to serve you. j
We are, respectfully,
