OhTuesday evening, March 3d, at 7 o'clock, Mr. Chas. Heiser, of Winchester, Va., was married ta Miss Lala Bul iman, in the Baptist Church/by the Pastor, For a day:or two before, a bevy of young ladies, friends.of.Miss Bttltman, had been, en gaged in arranging a symbolical marriage bell aod in cecoratiog the Church with ivy and evergreen ; so that when the boor came, aod the lamps were lighted, the scene pre sented was quite beautiful. By six o'clock tbe multitude commenced to pour in, until at tbe hour for the marriage, there was room reither to sit nor stand in the building. At length, under the sound of "a march played by Mrs. McLaurin, the bridal proces sion entered.' Tbe ?adies'ie attendance upon the bride were Misses Carrie Pucker, of Sum mewille, S- C, Dora Bultman, of Philadel phia, Bettie Epperson, .of Snrater, and -Julia Sablman, of Charleston, S. C, and tbe gen tlemen, Messrs. Wm. Graham, Geo. Ducker, Bart?w Walsh and W. E. Dick, Tbe bridal couple took their stand imme diately under the bell, and were married in due order by Mr. Brown; and the procession filed out agaio, and were taken in carriages to the residence of ilr. C. F. A. Bultman, tbe bride's father, where a reception was held until 10 o'clock. Almost tbe whole bouse was thrown open to the seventy-five guests j present, and in the diniug-ball a pyramid of j cakes aod meats of sundry sorts tempted the j appetite. Doubtless there have been few finer feasts spread iu Sumter, and as to tbe abun dance provided, oar friend Bultman might have invited the whole town and surround ing country. In one room, on three tables, the bridal presents were spread in gorgeous array. We noticed among a number of other valuables, a full cbiea set, two solid silver pitchers, sil ver spoons and forks, and silver articles of sundry shapes and values. Surely the young couple will be ready at any day to go to house-keeping. ' By and by, "**the clock struck the hour* for retiring," and tbe assembly commenced to dissolve. Tbe bridal pair took the midnigbt train for a visit to Mr. Heiser's parents at Winchester, Va., and from thence to their future home in New York, and'the rest of us -sought our accustomed haunts, wishing tbem good lock and a long lite. We congratulate Miss Lula on her happy marriage, though she will be sadly missed in Sumter. Outside of tbe many social aod amiable qualities she possessed, her rare skill in music, both ^strumentai and vocal, made ber almost a necessity in all musical enter tainments in .the town and surrounding localities, and Mr. Heiser. drew a large prize when be won so sweet-a sottg bird. Library Association. It begins to look as if it were a fact and we j believe it is. We re-publish the notice made I Wkt week of a meeting.for the 17th (next I Tuesday) and will add that this meeting will ? be for basmess as well as for debate?tbe bus iness to be first attended to. Its object?the establishing a reading room and library?is most worthy, and we confi dentlj^expcct the liberal patronage of the public. - From the letter published below; it will be seen that Gen. Youmans will deliver an ad dress in Sumter on the 24th instaut. That gentleman's reputation as au orator will make that meeting a success, and the impetus j given thereby to the good work will continue to ?raiher strength as it moves onward, until all our people will be compelled to untie in pushing to a successful consummation fits much needed enterprise : COLUMBIA, s.

The Concert given Wednesday night at the Music Hall, by The Wizard Oil Company was a success both in the size of the audience and tbe quality of the entertainment. Tbe gentle men composing the-Company have fine voices j and the audience-showed its appreciation by repeated encores. Tbe Farce at tbe close of the concert was as laughable a piece of nonsense as a Sumter au dience ever beheld. Jake Pompernickle was superb; while all did well. The people of Sumter have very pleasant recollections of tbe Wizard Oil Company. Their stay in town was enjoyed by all. The open air concerts, were largely attended, and wbiietbe lectures on the merits of he wonderful curative properties of Wizard Oil wereat times, a little tiresome, tbe large erowd listened pa tiently to all for the. sake of the good music with which the lectures were interspersed. The Company left for Cam den Thursday morning, but will return to Sumter oext Thursday, at which time they wilt give an other of their delightful exhibitions. There will be an en ti re change of programme, and tbose who go may be sore of ' sweet music with a reasonable mod?-um of glorious fun. The Weather. 6 a m. 12m. 6 pm. March 2... 37 53 49 Clear, slightly windy. March 3... 32 60 53 Hazy. March 4... 43 68 60 Clear morning, ratnv evening. March 5... 50 54 54 Cloudy. March 6... 40 45 41 Cloudy. March 7... 33 63 60 Clear, slightly windy. March 8... 34 50 46 Cloudy part of day. Tbe weather continues remarkably cold for March, though tbe past week bas been very suitable for farming operations. Pine Work. We were looking at some elegant tomb stones?tbe handiwork of Mr W. P. Smith some days ago. That gentleman claims that be is prepared to furnish the best work for the price of any marble worker in tbe State, and from specimens we have seen of bis work do notdoubt it in the least. Mr. Smith will aiso furnish iron railing, and guarantee all bis work. ? Begistration fors Town Election. Tbe attention of voters of the Town is call ed to the ordinance published last week pro* ?.ng for a registration of voters. The books will be opened on tbe 13th and remain open for fifteen days at tbe office of the Town Clerk and Treasurer. A Pleasant Visit. One of the Watchmax. and Southron house hold, t company with several other friends, enjoyed the hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Tindal of Clarendon, last week; and brings away many recollections of his stay with tbat hospitable family. Mr. Tindal is one of the hig farmers of Clarendon, and the old home stead at which be lives, surrounded by large trees, afford many objects of interest both within and without. -? > Inauguration Day Was celebrated in Sumter with a salute from the Sumter artillery. Bultman k Bro. had out their flag, but bunting w*s rather scarce. As there is no office of any consequence in Som ter except that of Postm&ater to fill, our peo ple were not so patriotic as they might have been under more favorxKc circumstances. Some Words of Advice to the Far mers' Association.' Mr. Editor: As tbe time approaches for oar next meeting, we think there will be no barm in throwing ont a few thoughts bearing thereupon; and first, in connection with that clause of the constitution, not yet adopt ed, which provides that "only" those person ally engaged in farming shall be eligible to office. It has been objected that a member having been received into the Association the constitution can not prescribe qualifica tions that may keep him out of office. If this be so, how can the Constitution of the United States provide qualifications for its President and Senators, for do not its citizens stand as high iu relation to that Constitution as the members of this Association dc in re lation to its constitution? Aud again, it has been thought of and suggested, to meet the imaginary difficulty, in connection with offi cering thisf body, by extending the re quirements to applicants for member ship, that they shall be "personally en gaged," 4c, 4c. Sir, would not this be another ex post facto experiment? For tbe Constitution already provides that the Execu tive Committee shall decide upon all applica tions for membership, and it would be there fore unquestionably going back upon itself. Tbe body can suggest to tbe Executive Committee but it cannot compel' th*m. Indeed tbe Constitution gives it (the body) ample powers, for it can refuse to confirm tbe appointments of the' Committee. To them, (the Executive Comroitiee), "all ap plications for membership ?hall be made, and they shall decide upon the same, and report to the Association for confirmation," kc. We, the members, bave udopied tins Constitution afterfull consideration and discussion, and we are bound as men of honor to observe its provisions and a just interpretation of the same. And I tbink there can.be no difficulty here, for it is not obscure. Sir, this disposition to trench upon authority, is tbe very commencement of disintegration ; and I have the interests "of this undertaking, too much at heart not to utter a warning voice here. Let us, brother farmers, subor dinate merely personal considerations, likes and dislikes, to its good?in fact everything short of principle, bur self respect -and man hood, and it cannot bring these in question. And that none may forget, let each one re member that we nave all pledged ourselves "as gentlemen to observe that courtesy and consideration for the feelings of others with out which -intercourse between men can be neither pleasant nor profitable." Let us remember that the Association of itself is nothing: that it has no individuality, no soul, no body or life, except that which irs constitution, its members and its officers may give it. How important then that e;tch and every one discharge the duty assigned or un assigned him. And I would say to my brother members that the health of their President is mneh broken by long and unremitting toil in bis profession?that he needs Test aod can only get it from travel, for to stav at home would be to bare to continue bis wearying rounds ; aud he wishes now to impart a parting in junction to his brother farmers. Allow no dissensions, antagonisms, or above all jeal ousies to come within, or influence you with in the paie of this organization for, if you do, I fear its doom is sealed. I trust it will go on prosperingand to pros per, and that our next meeting will be a marked success, if we but do oar duty. I hope to return on time to meet all tbe re quirements of my office and have arranged it so that, should G?d in His providence decide it otherwise, another will read my advice to the young farmers, of Snmter County, in whose success I feel so *prof*?nnd an interest.

Mr. Editor: We are warned to work the roads next Wednesday, from. Carter's Cross ing to the Kershaw line a distance of about nine miles. Why is it that we do not work our roads at tbe time they are worked else where and not choose this, the busiest time of the year, for that bnsiness. In tbe Spring we are busy preparing to plant, and then we are ordered to work the roads ; in the Fall we are t'usy gathering crops and again we are ordered to work the roads. Why not do all that in January and August, the most leisure limeof-ths, v-ear? We should all be willing to do our full sbare of this very important work. I am, but I must find fault of tbe inappropriate time chosen for it. ilr. W. B.

Miss Sue Mayes is home again from her long visit. Mr. A. J. Bateman has been quite-sick, but is improving. ! Rev. Mr. Thompson, just from the Semi I nary, preached in the Presbyterian Church j last Sunday evening to a crowded house. You asked in your paper of the 4th instant I what was the matter. It is no matter, it is a ; fresb cut. We were talking of tbe good old times of our fathers, who, fifty^years ago, j raised their manure, corn and everything that was needed ; when our lands flowed ! with milk and honey, and the country was I I safe in their hands ; but now they are drift ing into the hands of foreigners, covered with j Scotch Mortgages. If you will put on two j pairs of glasses you will see as see. You ! do not understand as I do ; you are in the wrong new, brother; come up higher. You . j can inform those who have not yet subscribed to your valuable paper that they should do so Ht once, as they will hear something woo* dertn!, fur it seems that I have to go b>?ck to ?he ?arden of Eden and come up to the pres ent day. Yon can'inform Poor Farmer that I am on my War Horse and ready to hear anything from him. DCGGAN. im? Oh ! What a Gator ! BISHOPVILLE, R. C, March 9, 1885. Last Sunday two men living near Lynches' River walked to the bank and while standing there saw an alig?tor crawling out to sun himself. They retired for re-enforcements, and met a neighbor who agreed to help cap ture the saurian, but as it was Sunday they determined to take him alive. They succeed ed in doing this with nothing more formida ble than a forked stick and some grape v?nes after some prudent maneuvers. Mr. W. W. Price, near whose spring the capture was made fell heir to the reptile, which was eight feet long. - W. ?. - na? - The Honea Path Plain Dealer is a new ven ture in journalism.

INDESTRUCTIBLE COOKING STOVES. The Wrought Irou Runge Company of St. j Louis, Mo., represented by Mr. F. P. Als- ; patigb, of North Carolina, as superintendent, and a number of efficient salesmen baveestab- I lished their headquarters at ibis place for the j sale and distribution of their justly celebrated j "Honte Comfort*' Cook Ranges. Tbis com- j pany is the largest, and most extensive insti- I tulion in the country devoted exclusively to the manufacture of improved cooking appara ', tus, and their extended knowledge of the wants and needs of the people in this resnect, coupled with their well-known energy and I large command of capital, has enabled them j i to carry their improvements to such a degree | of perfection as would have been thought im- | possible a tew years ago. To pive an idea of j their immense business, and to show wiihif what degree of appreciation tbeir efforts for .] the benefit of the people hare been received, it j is only necessary to mention the fact that j during last year over 15,000 ?l their family sin*, A, ''Home Comfort Ranges" were sold in the four or live States in which they ope- ? reted? to say nothing of the larger sizes sold | I to hotels, restaurants mid other institutions j I of the kind.
