Atlanta last week, and a change in his adver- j
tisement tells the taie of his trip. He bas a
Sne lot of .horses and mules, and we do not
ese th? word "fine" in a merely complimen

horse when he sees it, W. M. G. does.
Yesterday was old Christmas.
Thunder and lightning this morning.
The farmers mu3t not forget January 15th.
The gutter on the North side of the Music
Hall is a nuisance.
The 15th of January comes on Thursday.
Don't forget that fact.
Its raining again to-day. Maybe we will
stop growling about dry weather.
Sunday was the day set apart by Adven
tists to go up higher. They didn't go.
Rev. H. "F- Chreitzberg vr;?l preach at Lewis

Gen. Moise is remodelling the baildirrg in
which the offices of Mois?s & Lee are situated,
aad intends arranging a row of ornees on the
South side of the building, similar to those
on the North.
No one acquainted with the financial con
dition of Snmter county will be in doubt as
to the importance of the farmers' meeting on
the 15th of January. Let every one who can
attend, and put on foot plans for redeeming
the planting interests of the county.
A pile of bricks at the Methodist Church
means that work in that important eater
prise has begun. The indomitable energy
which enabied the members of that denomi
nation to inaugurate so great an undertaking
in the midst of the hard times last year will
surely carry it to a successful termination.
Dr. W. H. Martio, who has been in the
dreg business for some time in Surater with
Dr. J. F. W. DeLorme, has bought-out Dr.
Auld and set up for himself. Dr. Martin in

Mr. T. S- Draytfn, whom we mentioned
last week as having taken a job on the rail
road, bis reconsidered his determination, and
tells our-readers to-day that he wants a job.
Mr. Drajion's well known energy and perse
Teraoce iili doubtless soon secure for him

We beg to call the attention of our readers
to the advertisement of Messrs. A. J. Salinas

which appears in this issue. Th^y wish to

the next year?
Rev. Joba s\out of Socieiy Hill, Darling
ton Coanty, preached the Union Sermon
Sunday night at the Baptist Church, Rev. H.
F. Chreitzberg listing. The sermon was a
most practical one from the text "My God
shall supply all your needs," and the evident
sympathy that exited between the pre cher
and his subject carried his carefully delivered
remarks borne to the heart of every listener.

Married.
In Charlotte, N. C, on the 30th December
1SS4, at the residence of the bride's father
Dr. M. M. Orr, by the Rev. J. B. Cheshire,
Albert Ei Aycock, of Wedgefield, S. C, to
Miss Manie Orr, of Charlotte.
ZERNOW?PAXTON.~At the residence
of the bride's mother Mrs. W. Y..Paxton,
Samter, S. C, December 30th, 1884, by Rev.
H. B. Zernow, assisted by the Rev. N. W.
Edmunds, Mr. S. J. Zernow of Charleston, S.
C. and Miss A. E. Paxton, of Sumter, S. C.
At 5 o'clock in the evening a few friends of j
the bride and groom assembled to witness the
marriage, which took place 5:40 P. M. The
attendants were Mr. Monltrie DeLorme and
Miss M. B. Zernow, and Mr. C. F. Zernow
and Mrs. S. Brockinton. After the ceremony,
refreshments were handed around and a few
moments were passed very pleasantly. At
6:10 the party left for the depot where they
embarked for Charleston. They arrived at
9;-15, and at the residence of Mrs. Zernow a
splendid supper was served.
Death.
In Clarendon connty, at the bouse of her
son-in-law, Mr. R. Ff. Witherspoon, on the
?? instant, Mrs. Martha S. Drayton, relict of
the late. A. R. Dray ton, of Charleston, S. C3
after a lingering illness., aged 77 years. Mrs.
Drayton removed to Sumter during the war
with her children, and has resided in this
town and vicinity since then until about two
years ago, when she removed to Clarendon to
live with her youngest daughter.
Mrs. Manning, the wife of ex-Governor
John L. Manning, died at ber residence in
Clarendon County at 7 A. M.? on Wednes
day, the 31st ultimo, of pneumonia. Her
mother, Mrs. Clark of Maryland, died at the
same place about a week previously, and
Governor Mannning was performing the last
sad offices for the deceased, when he received
intelligence of his wife's dangerous illness.
Mrs. Manning's remains were interred in
Trinity Church burial ground in Columbia
January 1st.
Venorable,
A private note from Mr. W. L. Sherwood
of Newark, N. J., tells ps.tbat he has a copy
of theSomter Gazette, Vol. 1, No. 1, dated
February 6, 1830. Who in Sumter was
living here then ?
What Wedgefield Can Do.
Messrs. Thomas k McCutchen are boss
farmers. With 13 plows on 295 acres they
made 245 bales cotton, near 1,000 bushels
corn and an abundance of oats to last them
through the year. They githere? an average
of 1276 pounds of seed cotton from each acre.
School Commissioner,
Mr. E. C- Rogers has qualified and received
his commission. His health however is so
feeble that be could Dot personally - take
charge of the office. Mr. W. F. Rhame "has
been authorized to take charge for the time
being and will attend to its duties. When
not in the School Commissioner's office he
may be fonnd in the office of the Watchman
and Southron.
The Factory Sold.
Bellemonte Factory was sold- yesterday by
the Sheriff under an execution, and was bid
off for S15,000. The pcrchaser is responsi
ble for a. bonded debt of $15,000 additional,
which makes the purchasing price $30,000?
less than half its real value. We understand it
has been bought by a syndicate of Sumter
men, and, though we do not know, suppose
the.work will go on as usual.
Masonic Election.
The following n?med officers were installed
at Siul?hville, S. C, on the 27th ult., to serve
Spring.Kill Lodge, No. 188, A F. M. for the
ensuing Masonic year, to wit :
L. M. Smith, W. M.; T. L. Davis, S. W.:
G. W. Davis, X. W.; G. W. Smith, Treas
urer; H. E. L. Peebles, Secretary ,- F. P.

Boyce, W. L. Davis, Stewards ; M. Barfield,

We Knew it.
The.cold snap which came upon us like a
wolf ia. the night last Friday was not unher
alded in its approach. Thursday morning
the Keics and Courier told it was coming, and
although it was summer weather, a; the time
prudent folks began to prepare for the bliz
zard by a judicious supply of fire wood and
other essential^ We are under obligations
to the weather bnreau for ita early informa
tion.
Christmas Tree.
Last Tuesday night the Misses Eurst gave
their ?chool a Christmas Tree at the residence
of Mr. C. M. Hurst, and the small fry had a
regular jolly time. The larger fry seemed to
enjoy it also. The children invited a number
of guests who enjoyed looking on the chil
dren's bright faces as the venerable Santa
Clauses (Mr. Santa Clans and his good old
wife were both present in honor of the occa
sion) dispensed presents right and left. An
abundance of refreshments were enjoyed, and
the ?vening passed pleasantly.
- ?I II w
The Sumter White Public School.
The pupils of the above school had a pleas
ant celebration New Year's night. The
school was out in force, with a large number
of invited guests. A bountiful collation of
fruits, cake and lemonade was served. The
young people played games, sung songs, and
enjoyed themselves just as boys and girls can
who have good digestion and have had a
bountiful supply of good things to eat and
an unlimited license to make as much racket
as they wish. The older folks sat around
and sympathized with the pleasures of their
joaiors, even enjoying to a limited extent the
pandemonium of noise and jollity which at
tines reigned supreme. It was the most
pleasant entertainment of the kind the Public
School has ever had in Sumter.
We are informed by the Trustees i? t the
school is in a very flourishing condition.
They had high hopes of adding to it3 useful
ness by the passage of an Act giviog this
district all the mo^ey collected in it for school
purposes, but unfortunately such an arrange
ment is forbidden by the Constitution.
Sale Day
The first Monday in January was certainly
the most moist on record. The rain fell in
torrents ail day, and the surging mass of hu
manity who believe it to be a solemn duty to
come to Sumter, January Sale Day, came as
usual and crowded aronnd the Court House
all day. The side-walks were jammed for the
entire block, the crowd frequently filling
a large part of the miry streets. The
liquor shops did a thriving business, that is
we suppose they did from their crowded ap
pearance, and also from the fact that a num
ber of happy souls were staggering over the
streets. Many a bard earned dollar needed
at home so badly to supply the needs of wife
and children went for whisky. We saw men
Staggering through the streets with their
brains so steeped in rum that they had lost
the last atom of seif respect and true man
hood and who are dependent upon a lien for
every mouthful of meat *nd bread they wil^
use this year.
A large number of sales were made, both
public and private, the y aster and Sheriff
each having sold all the property advertised
by them respectively. Money is scarce though,
as is evident from the fact that not near
their value was given for many of the arti
cles sold.
Tha? Cyclone.
The storm in Clarendon of which we made
mention last veek. was the most severe that
has ever vis?tod our sister county. It demol
ished every outbuilding on the places of
Messrs. G* R. and J. J. Boyd, besides mate
rially damaging the dwelling house. Mrs. E.
N. Richardson lost every outbuilding. Robin
Brailsford's place was ruined. Dr. J. J.
Hodge lost everything, even his provisions
being blown away. The Doctor was also
slightly injured. Thos. Garrett had his
house leveled to the ground. Mr. Dick Weeks
lost a number of outbuildings and a mule
Mr. Weeks was badly hurt. Mr. S. W. Har
vin's buildings were seriously injured. His
gin and mill were destroyed. Col. W. L.
Reynolds lost heavily, and Mr. J. D. Pack
had the top of his dwelling taken off, and
outbuildings blown down. Mr. Sinclair
Rodgers lost his bouse. Everything of value
was blown away and hie mother-in-law, Mrs.
Baker, badly hurt. Mr. Jrby Hodge lost
beavily, while Messrs. I. T. Hodge, Henry
Broadway, John Carroll and others whose
names we did not get suffered severely.
We gather the above from the Clarendon
Enterprise which says the storm swept along,
varying in width from one-fourth to three
fourths of a mile, and but few things could
withstand its fury. Houses were unroofed-or
blown down, and outbuildings generally
destroyed. The loss to the people can scarce
ly be estimated. Mr. Irby Hodge described
to us how it struck his place. He was in a
field near bis house and got the full benefit.
At about 5 o'clock.it came, leaving a wide
path behind. Ht3 dwelling was badly dam
aged, only one building being left in'which
his family could stay. One of his outbuild
ings was blown down and others unroofed.
A 30-pound feather bed was blown out of the
bouse and lodged under the debris of a grape
vine thirty yards away. At least half his
bedclothing was blown away and completely
lost. A bolt of calico was blown up the
chimney and about nioe yards left hanging
out at the top. A shingle was blown into a
tree near by so deep that.it could not after
ward be pulled out by a man. Trees were
blown thirty feet or more in falling. Only
an eye observer could form anything like an
adequate idea of the great damage done. Mr
Hodge's loss is at least $2,000. His friends
were very kind, and the next morning twen
ty-one men came to his aid and did all they
cpuld for him. This we suppose, is a similar I
description to all the others. Tt is only
about ten months since the last severe cyclone ;
and a few more such in our county will de
vastate it. ?
Blown Up.
The tramway locomotive belonging to Mr.
Mallett blew up yesterday between the mill
and the Wilmington, Columbia and Augusta
Road with a tremendous explosion. The en
gineer was still enjoying his Christmas, and
the fireman had charge, and it is supposed
that he inadvertently allowed the water to
get too low. He stopped at a^tank to fill np,
and as soon as the cold water entered, the ex- '
plosion followed. The engine is. a total
wreck, parts of the boiler being blown 150
yards. The fireman was thrown off a long
distance, and he is probably fatally 'bort.
The man on the tank was thrown into the
well, but escaped without serious injary.

Mr. Editor: We are trying to get a Post
Office at Corbett's Mill, with Mr. J. H. Chew
n?ngas P. M., with the mail to run from
Snmter via Manviile.
Miss Bettie Raffield has a very large school
?about fifty scholars. After a weeks holi

Christmas was extremely dull, and except
for egg nog and fire-crackers was much like

The railroad election at Spring Hill was a
victory for the railroad by a small majority.

planting tbeir oat crop by the unfavorable
seasons last Fall are preparing for a Spring
crop.
The young folks are looking forward to a

Bishopville Items.
Bishopvillb, S. C, January 1, 1885.
Mr. Editor: Measles are prevailing to an
alarming extent in our community. Mr. Na
than Williams died to-day about 10 o'clock.
His death was caused by them, in addition to
a severe cold he had previously taken. His
entire family of nine persons, with but three
exceptions,*have been, and still are, prostrated
by the same disease. In their bereavement
and affliction we tender our deepest sympa
thies.
I learn this evening that a negro boy, near
here, died to-day. This death was also caused
by measles.
Christmas has come and gone, and most of
us are glad of it. Deliver me, for one, from
a long continuation of the whisky drinking,
profanity and rowdyism which most of us
see and hear each succeeding Christmas. The
negroes became so boisterous and unmanagea
ble on Christmas day that the merchants had
to close their doors in our village.
A3 long as Snmter and Darlington village
keep plenty of liquors io sell, and a horse can
be found to be driven after it, something that
will make a man a fool will never be hard to
get about here?or, at least, I fear so.
Most farmers have employed their hands
for the present year, and are ready to com
mence farming operations as soon as the
weather will permit. L.

A Street Crossing.
We forgot all about saying anything of the
need of a street crossing between the Music
Hall and Court House last week, and some of
the neighbors around think we neglected our
duty in so doing, and we refer to the suliject
with alacrity, as the streets have been in a
swimming condition lately. We saw <v Court
House officiai plunging about araid its vasty
depth3 last week, murmuring something in an
inaudible voice, and we suppose he was call
ing down blesrings upon the town. That
gentleman is very sure we need a crossing,
and we are equally confident. Can't we
have it?
Messrs. Hoyt & Bros, have not despaired in
well-doing. The holidays are over, but they
know that people need clocks, watches, jew
elry, &c, even after Christmas, and hence
their stock is as complete and their assort
ment as varied as ever.
Dr. J. F. W. DeLorme keeps a full stock of
standard medicines and chemicals. Give him
a call if you need anything in his line. Com
petent assistants always found ready to wait
on customers.
Col. J. J. Dargan wishes to rent his place
in town. It is a comfortable place with a
nice farm. See ad- ;
A terrible earthquake occurred od
Saturday, 27th December, in Spain.
The official reports show that 266 per
sods were killed in the provinces of
Malaga and GraDada. The population
of Granada is still encamped in squares,
the richer class lodging in carriages
along the street. Many bouses were
destroyed in Jimena and a whole fami
ly was killed in the village of Cagar by
the falling of a chimney. Thirty per
sons were killed in Pcriana. Over half
the inhabitants of Albunuetas were kill
ed. Alhatna is mostly in ruins. Thir
ty lives were lost, 750 houses and the
church destroyed. The province of
Malaga suffered equally i.s much
damage as did Granada. Two hundred
houses at Alfarnetjo were damaged.
The government has granted ?5,000
from the national calamity fund for the
relief of the sufferers of the provinces of
Granada.
The removal of Prof. Sanborn, of . H.,
after being pronounced incurable by a score
of physicians, from Las Vegas, . M., to his
home, was effected by administering Dr. Bar
ter's Iron Tonic, which has restored him to
his former good health. Jan. 6.
With snow falling steadily, and winter
still triumphant, there is a certain mockery in
the sudden appearance of one and another
seed catalogue. "Tick's Floral Guide" leads
the van, and as usual, needs no commenda
tion, its solid merit having long ago given it
a firm place in popular affection. The num
ber contains the usual lists of new seedlings in
both vegetables and flowers, and with its
bright flower froutispiece, is quite worthy a
prominent place on the sitting-room table,
while the Illustrated Magazine has been a
faithful guide in all matters relating to the
garden. James Vick, Rochester, . Y., will
send the Floral Guide to any address for 10
cents, which if seeds are afterwards purchas
ed, may be deducted from the order.

The I?ew York World
Is t\e leading Democratic paper of the
North. From a subscription list of a few
thousand, it has climbed steadily up until
now it sends out more than 100,000 papers

the true standard of its progress, is enormous.
Its Sunday edition is a monster, 20 and some

We cordially commend it as a most valua
