We suppose we ought to be daly grateful for these favors, bat it strikes as that the postal authorities should have done all this long ago. We see that some of our exchanges, follow? ing the example of the News and Courier per? sist in stating that "The total May collection of taxes in Sumter County, was $1,525.51. The County owes $1,914, and has $576 with which to pay it." We beg to state that this item is a monumental fib. Military Festival. We leara that the Sumter Light infantry, under Capt. D. J.

The Sumter Light Infant y will give their Annual Excursion to SmithviUe, N. C., the first Monday in August. As oar readers know, this Company has made a visit nearly every Summer for five or six yee-.rs to this de? lightful Sommer resort and can speak know? ingly of its attractions.

Hickson has been appointed Postmaster at Magnolia vice J. F. McRea, re? moved. We congratulate the good people of Magnolia for getting rid of that unadulterated humbug, McRea. He would show to much better advantage in the cotton patch than in the Post Office. Cheap, Isn't It? The Excursion Rates to Washington, of j which notice is given in our advertising col? umns, will commend themselves to onr read? ers as being very cheap. Ten dollars for a ticket from Sumter to Washington and return ought to induce every man who desires office, to go and present his claims in person to the President. The Court House Square L0^?ssh3J>eJs^ The warm, moist weather has iostilIed^n1fr?????. weed and sprig of grass a determination to do or die, and .they are doing with a vim. The sulky plow between the Court House and Rosendorfs is nearly swallowed up by its natural enemy, General Green, and a mowing machine could find some profitable work thereabouts. Fine Cotton. P. G. Bowman, Esq., left in our office last Wednesday morning two stalks of cotton j which were finer than any thing we have seen. They are three feet high and well filled with squares. Mr. Bowman says they are a fair sample of an 18 acre field. Maj.

Marshal Toomey will surrender his office to his successor, E. M. Boy kin, to-mor? row, though Mr. Toomey will have to remain io office also for some time to close np the old business. In the examination of the varions offices of E. S. Marshal, over the country, the South Carolina office, with fonr others was found to be absolutely correct, and Marshal Toomey leaves office with a clean record. Mr. Toomey expects to go up to Hen carson? ville ima few days with Mrs. T. who has been quite sick lately, but will return, him? self, to Charleston, where be will make bis headquarters until the old business of his office is closed up. We do not know what his plans will be after then, but suppose be will return to Sumter, where be will meet with a warm welcome. Barring politics T. J. Tno mey isa clever man and useful citizen. Annual Inspection. Adjutant and Inspector General Manigault inspected the Sumter Light Infantry last evening in the Music Hall. The company did not present as soldierly an appearance as usnal, owing to the fact that their uniforms have been allowed to run down at the heel some? what, in anticipation of a change. Guns were also scarce. Gen. Manigault promised to send the com? pany new guns in a short time on condition that the company wonld fit itself out ic reg? ulation uniform within the year. Capt. Auld, in behalf of the Company, promised that every effort wonld be made to perform that duty. The Company had 35 men ont, rank and ile. Gen. Moise* Address. It is seldom that a public address should receive commendation from all who hear it, bat such was the case Thursday evening at the Music Hall. For two hours the speaker had the undivided! attention of bis audience, as he told of the "men and things" he saw in his late Western trip. It is deeply to be re? gretted that so eloquent and instructive an address should be given to a only a partially filled boase, bat those wto went enjoyed itali the same. Dr. J. S. Hughjon presided, and introduced the speaker. The fine music was another pronounced feature of the occasion. A duet delightfully rendered by Mrs. H. C. Moses and Mrs. L. B. DuRant opened the exercises, while another equally charming, by Mrs. Henry Harby and Mrs. Ruth McLaurin closed the evening's en? joyment. The Panners' Agricultural Associ? ation. The Executive Committee of the above Organization met in Music Hall, Saturday. There were present Dr. J. H. Furman, President of the Association, H. R. Thomas, Secretary, and Messrs. R. I. Manning, E. M. Cooper and T. J. Baker. ' Three delegates and the same number of alternates wer ? elected to represent the Asso? ciation at Bennettsville next August, viz : Col. J. J. Dargan, Col. H. E. L. Peebles and Mr. H. H. Wilson as delegates and Messrs. Peter MeL'ftt, J. R. Phillips and C. 0. Wheeler as alternates. A number of Clarendon fk^ers aPPlied for admission, among whom were j?r- ^' ^' White, Messrs. J. R. Griffin, L.H.DeScbaC.DSJ J. W. Wells and J. J. Broughton. I One hundred copies of the Constitution were ordered printed as soon as it could be conveniently done. Bills for advertising were ordered paid. A resolution of thanks to Dr. Auld for the use of the Music Hall was unanimously adopted. Other matters were discussed, and after a pleasant meeting the Commisse adjourned,. Twenty-Five Pounds. We saw a cabbage Saturday in front of Mr. O'Connor's store that weighed 25 pounds and measured over 4 feet across, (some of.the loose leaves were attached to it.) It was raised by R. M. Andrews from the Mammoth Marble head variety. P. S.-We have fallen heir to the big cab? bage accompanied with a large mess of fine potatoes. Andrews has gone into the truck business and can supply vegetables to all who need them, judging from the samples we have received. Bishopville Items. BISHOPVILLE, S. C., June 25, 1885. Mr. Editor: The funeral services of Mrs. J. Frierson Woodard, were conducted by the Rev. Mr. Melton, at the Bishopville Methodist Church, on yesterday morning ; after which ber remains were taken to the burying ground of the Church, near Wells'X Roads, for in? terment. She leaves a husband and little boy to mourn ber loss. Our Doctors are kept busy attending the sick of the neighborhood. Am glad to state, however, that I hear of no very serious cases of sickness at present. Dr. Crane, whose house with most of its contente was consumed by fire, some days since, estimates his loss at about thirty-five hundred dollars on which there was no in? surance. The canse of the fire was a stove, as is often the case of late. We are beginning to need rain as it has been nearly two weeks since any to speak of fell in this section. The fair days and hot sunshine has enabled nearly every one to clean their crops of grass, and with a good season, we would have good reasons for feel? ing hopeful of a bountiful yield of all our field crops. I do not remember to have seen crops more promising for the time of year. L. N. B. A nice shower of rain has fallen since writing above. BISHOPVILLE, S. C., Jone 29, 18S5. There are five churches in Bishopville; tbre'S belonging to the whites, and two to the colored people-one of the former being lo? cated a mile out of the '-city," but in Bishop? ville. Present prospecis of fine crops are very en? couraging. The rains seem to come at the right time, and in about the right quantity to answer the end for which th&y are sent. Doctors McLeod and Dennis are kept busy looking after their patients, but they don't object. [i?r$-.-4??4^on Woodard died on the 23rd inst, in grear*p?i*ce, and was buried at Well's Church on the 24tfc - ^ Mr. A. C. Durant bal~rte~?S5&.-fell? in this section, M~T^ Mannville Items. MANNYILLE, S. C., June 26, 1885. Mr. Editor: Except for grass, crops are looking well, but we can say as the old negro did, "Grass he bin a mighty king, but tank God, he can't rule always." The second Quarterly Conference for Sumter Circuit, was held at New Salem the 20th and 21st instant. All our young folks are getting interested in matters matrimonial ; for instance : at the residence of Rev. L. A. White, on the 18th June, Mr. Betts to Miss Quin Elmore, also at the residence of the brides' father, on the 21st June, by Rev. L. A. White, Mr. Frank Brown to Miss Celia Driggers ; and on the 23d June, at the residence of Rev. L. A. White, Mr. L. A. White, Jr., to Miss Minnie McLeod. That's pretty good for one neighborhood, isn't it? I see in the Watchman and Southron of the 16th, a communication from Duggan saying he would answer my question next week, that he did not have time tuen. If Duggan will put on bis specks and look in the W. $ S., of the 9th, be will see that I never asked the question at all. " What has become of "Dew?" Has the June sun dried him up as Poor Farmerproph ecied it would ? Come out Dew! Come out! If yon are afraid of the sun try it early, in_the morning, and let us hear from you. - Our two doctors are kept very busy at present. J. F. M. MANNVILLE, S. C., June 29, 1885. Mr. Editor: The report of the death of Mrs. Reese Mathis, last week, was erroneous. She is, however, quite sick. We have had fine rains and on Friday night while a thunder cloud was passing over, Dr. E. G. McCutchen's carriage house was struck by lightning and set on ?re. It was discovered in time to prevent total loss, but I suppose the damage to house, buggy, and some baies of cotton which were stored in it, will exceed $75. A turkey hen with her brood were in a coop a few feet from a tree which was also struck, but escaped injury. The shafts to a buggy were shivered with no other injury to it. N. A. T. Hafton Creek Items. REMBERT'S, S. C., June 22, 1885. Mr. Editor: If the present seasonable weather continues, the farmers of Raftoa Creek will, when crops are harvested be in a most enviable condition. With a start to? wards independence they will soon acquire those principles which make men independ? ent-economy and energy. The planters of this section as wei! as others, have been badly hacked by successive bad crop years, and some of them have fallen behind financially, but if the present crop proves a success it will pro? duce a wonderfnl change for the better. That tborongbgoing principle which has been so marked a characteristic of our farmers in the past will again come to the front and make this section blossom like the rose. I think we have the best and most valuable lands io the County, and our cummunity would be a paradise on earth if the Lord should bless us with good seasons. But as He established one paradise which resulted to man's disadvantage, possibly it is the part of wisdom not to make another attempt. Mr. E. E. Rembert, son of our deservedly popular physician, bas treated himself to an elegant turnout, and with his high stepping trotters is the observed of all observers. Good for the Child. The ailments of childhood need careful at? tention and wise treatment. Some people think "anything is good enough for a child, and there isn't much the matter with it any? how." But judicious mothers know better, and do as Mrs. H. W. Perry, of Richmond, Va., does. She says : "I take Brown's Iron Bitters and 2?ve it to my children with the most satisfactory results."

Mr. Editor : General Green has been in command for some time, but with the aid of fair weather we have conquered, at least we are able to see victory just ahead. We are beginning to want rain. Cotton ?3 not suffering, but corn and potatoes would be better with a good shower. Having had good seasons up to the present time, a drought would prove fatal on c irn. Corn is not in? jured at all yet, and as rain is passing, I hope we will have plenty in due time. I am glad to know that cur farmers are turning their attention more to grain, and I would suggest to them what I think a good idea, that is to divide their land into three different parts-say 30 acres to the horse. Plant ten in corn, ten in cotton and ten in oats and wheat. Change every year; plant cotton after oat3, corn after cotton, oats after corn. Sow our oat land after harvesting the oats in peas, and gather enough peas to plant the same the next year. Put all the manure we can raise on our cotton, which will make it produce at least one bale per acre, and then put it in corn the next year, and it will make good corn without any manure. By so-doing we will improve our land. Some may think that only putting manure on it every three years will not improve it, but it will. A heavy manuring will produce a big crop of cotton ; the manure will not be exhausted, and the leaves, burrs, stalks, &c, will help ?he laud, while that planted in oats will have oat-stubble and pea-vines, which will be a good coat of manure. So we see that our land would improve, and one reason is we will only have 20 acres to the horse to culti? vate, which would give us more time to raise manure. The trouble with most farmers, they plant so much that they cannot manure or work it properly. The result is our lands grow poorer and poorer each year. I believe that we can improve our lands so as to make ourselves independent, by putting two-thirds of our crop ingrain, and one-third in cotton, we would make more cotton than we do; and if our corn crop failed occasionally we would still be independent in the way of feed. I would be glad to take a trip to Mayesville and take a look at the crops, but business be? fore pleasure. I reckon ? J?ad better stop for fear I have worried your patience, POOB FARMER. PROVIDENCE, June 27, 1885 Mr. Editor: The Annual Sunday School celebration at this place came off to-day. There were addresses from Messrs. Chandler, Myers, Rembert, and our worthy Superinten? dant, F. H. McEachern. The day was all that one could desire, after the refreshing shower of the previous night.

Two-thirds of the chronic diseases have their origin in dys? pepsia. The symptODS are loss of appetite, loss of flesh, a feeling of fullness or weight io the stomach, occasiooaly nausea and vomit? ing, acidity, flatulence, dull pain in the head, with a sensation of heaviness or giddiness, irregularity of bowels, low spirits, sleepless? ness, sallow skin, derangement of kidneys, and not unfrequently palpitation of the heart.
