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 :

The Wizard Oil Concert.
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.

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.

their flag, but bunting w*s rather scarce. As

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

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

determined to take him alive. They succeed

after some prudent maneuvers. Mr. W. W.

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. And it i> a fact susceptible of j
the fullest proof that nothing that has ever I
been invented in the way of a cooking appa
tue has given such universal and complete
satisfaction, and so nearly met the wants of
their customers as these ranges.
The ordinary cast elove, is rapidly becom
ing a thing of tht* past, and a person of ordi
nary powers of observation bus only ?o ser j
the ' Ilouie Comfort" Wrought Iron Range ?
to he-convinced of their immeasurable stipe- j
riority in point of durability, good cooking j
qualities, small amount of fuel consumed, j
ease with which it is kept in good order ami j
the man;* other conveniences to which even I
the best cast stoves can lay no claim. i
The''Home Comfort Range" will be 3old
only from the Company's wagons and pur- j
chasers are guaranteed fair and honorable j
treatment und an article that will greatly j
lessen the labor of cooking and be a constant J
I source of pleasure and pride to those who ?
j invest their money in them.
