There will be service to-morrow afternoon

The Methodist was the only church opened
last Sunday and was therefore crowded.
There was a large congregation both night
and morning.
The Presbyterian church was closed because
bf the absence of the Pastor at Synod.
The Baptist church was closed because of
the Pastor's illness.
TheSantee Baptist Association met with

The-smounts are now greatly needed. Work
is progressing rapidly and the exterior of the
church will soon be completed if the money
is forthcoming. Friends, get your money
ready and don't keep the ladies waiting.
Every person in Sumter should be interested

Very Pleas?nt.
The Sumter Fire Engine Company bad
their supper last Thursday evening at the
Engine Hall, and ii was liberally patronized
by tl>e members and invited guests. Judge j
Aldrich, the lutendaut, several Wardens,
representatives of the press and some of Sum?
ter's merchant princes were among the
visitors.
It is seldom that wc have enjoyed so pleas?
ant an occasion?. The supper was first class
and plentiful, and the speeches short and
witty. Another admirable incident was the
fact that nothing intoxicating was in the
menu. Water and coffee were the only fluids
furnished, consequently no one waked up
with the headache nert morning, unless the
disease was contracted elsewhere.
To the Committee of Arrangements, Messrs.
E. Stehle, J. H. Watson, J. A. Miller, E. I.
Reardon and J. T. Dosier, we are under obli
gatioosJbr kind attentions, and when another
supper which they are to boss is on the tapis
we will most assuredly be on band, if they
will give us any encouragement.
To the Public.
Miss Clara Louise Kellogg will give one
Concert in this place about the 1st of Decem?
ber next, provided I can give her manager a
guarantee that he will receive a certain
snm of money. The amount is large, but
can be easily raised by the people of this
community if they will torn out. You may
never have another opportunity to hear vocal
music in perfection. With the Kellogg Grand
Concert Company, is Miss Ollie Torbet a
young lady of wonderful genius as a violinist,
and Madam Julia Rive King one of the |
greatest living pianists.
I have already sold over 100 reserved I
seats, but it is necessary that I shall sell
150 more, and at once, to enable me to close
the contract with Miss Kellogg's manager.
The Diagram of the Hall can be seen at the
Post Office, and if any person who cannot
come to Sumter will drop me a postal card
through the mail I will reserve for them the
best seats then vacant.
Price of reserved seats $1.50.
Don't wait until the best seats are gone.
Respectfully, D. J. AULD.

j Mr. Editor : My letter this week will be
somewhat religious. The Colored Baptist
Association has been held, and I am. informed
that it was a success, financially. The
churches composing this body contribute
each about $20 to support it at the church
where it is held. This I presume is done to
divide the burdeu of maiotaioance.
Rev. Mr. Myers commenced a meeting at
Pisgah Church on the 16th instant, assisted
by Rev. D. C- Hardin. On Sunday night the
newly elected deacons were ordained to the
deaconship, by a council composed of the
Pastor, Mr. Hardin, and deacons from other
churches. Mr. Hardin asked the questions on
their principles of faith, Mr. Myers made the
ordaining prayer and Mr. Hardin delivered
the charge which was plain, practical, and
impressive. The entire exercises were of a
deeply interesting character. The meeting
closed last night with an addition of about
fourteen members to the church. I heard the
members say that this was the best meeting
the church ever had, and all felt that it was
united for fa tore good work. The church
greatly regretted the absence at this time of
its senior deacon, Capt. B. F.Rbame and wife,
also that their pastor had to leave before the
close on account of the illness of his son.
The behavior during the meeting was good,
with the exception of one night, when some
drunken^ rowdy made) a disturbance around
the chcrcb; but when the officers went ont to
investigate, be took leg bail and they could
not find out whom to prosecute. Bat a pub?
lic statement that any disturbers of the peace,
would be prosecuted to the full extent of the
law had a salutary effect after this. Mr.
Hardin is a fearless speaker and made a fine
impression.
A meeting at the Methodist Church was
carried on at the same time, which lessened
both congregations. I think where churches
are near each other it would be better to hare
their protracted meetings and regular preach?
ing days at different times whenever it possi?
bly could be done. By so doiog the neigh?
borhood could enjoy preaching every Sunday,
and it seems to me it wonid be more in the
spirit of the gospel to arrange things so for
the benefit of all, than to always be clashing
meetings.
Mr. Editor, none of us are very good and
we need ali the preaching we can have to
make us better, and if a member of one church
by attending meetings at a different church, -\
will change faith and principle*, it will be no
donbt all right for all.
A lady who sings occasionally in the con?
gregation at Pisgah Cbnrch is gifted with a
line voice. Its ciear tones can be heard in
sweet accents distinguished from all when
singing the sweet hymns of praise.
The dismal toll of the colored church bell
Monday night announced that one of their
number had gone to the great majority.
Even after twenty years of freedom, it is hard
for these people yet to believe that they can
die by the visitation of God, but are conjured
in some way.
Mr. Editor, can't you coin a pronoun that
can be used for either sex so as to not use the
word "they." Qui Vivs,
[We could coin one easily enough if we
could persuade other people as well as our?
selves to use it. There is great need for such
a pronoun, and we read an article some time
ago which we intended publishing, but mis
laid it, advocating the need of sucha word
and suggesting a proper one for the purpose.
We have however, forgotten the suggested
word.-ED. J

Cure for Piles.
Piles are frequently preceded by a sense of
weight in the back, loins anti lower part of
the abdomen, causing the patient to suppose J
he has some affection of the kidneys or neigh?
boring organs. At times, symptoms of indi?
gestion are present, flatulency, uneasiness of
the stomach, etc. A moisture, like perspira?
tion, producing a very disagreeable itching,
after getting warm, is a common attendant.
Blind, Bleeding and Itching Piles yield at
once to the application of Dr. Bosanko's Pile
Remedy, which acts directly npon the parts
affected, absorbing the Tumors, allaying the
intense itching, and effecting a permanent cure.

Dyspepsia Can be Cured.
There is perhaps no disease so prevalent as
dyspepsia or indigestion, and one too, that
np to the present time, has baffled the skill of
the most eminent Physicians. Two-thirds of
the chronic diseases have their origin in dys?
pepsia. The sympton- are loss of appetite,
loss of flesh, a feeling of fullness or weight io
the stomach, occasionaly 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 unfreqoently palpitation of the heart.

Dedication of the Presbyterian
Church at Wedgefield.
WEDGEFIELD, S. C., Oct. 26, 1885
The Presbyterian Church at this place was
dedicated yesterday. Rev. J. E. Dunlop, of
Marion, preached the dedication sermon, from
Lake II, 34tb and 35th verses : "And Simeon
blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother,
Behold this child is set for the fall and rising
again of many in Israel ; and for a sign which
shall be spoken against; that the thoughts of
many hearts may be revealed."
For close reasoning, tender appeals, and
burning eloquence, it surpassed anything we
have heard in many a day. We are unable
to see how anyone could withstand his irre?
sistible logic.
Time will not allow an analysis of his ser?
mon, so will mention, io passing, the words
of a good Baptist sister: "I felt all the time
like I was in thc presence of John Knox."
Those of your readers that know who John
Knox was, can appreciate the compliment.
Rev. Mr. Dunlop is of Scotch descent, and we
believe related to the great Scotch divine, any
way, if not by blood by ministerial succes?
sion.
After the sermon, the Sacrament of the
Lord's Supper was partaken of, oar brethren
of sister churches communing with us. Rer.
Mr. Dunlop's communion talk to the uncon?
verted was peculiarly appropriate.
Rer. H. B. Garriss, the pastor, preached
twice Saturday ; Rer. Mr. Dunlop, twice
yesterday, and at ll o'clock to-day, and will
preach again to-night.
The dedication serrices hare been much en?
joyed. And all who bare attended feel th? t
"it was good to be there."
And thus, on the 25th day of October,
1885, the Presbyterian Church at Wedgefield
was dedicated to the preaching of the gospel.
It was organized abont four years ago, with
a membership of eleven, and without a house
to worship in. It now bas a neat and com?
fortable little church, chapel style, costing
about $1,500, although its ll members have
only grown to 25. (We contend that it was
dedicated three years ago, soon after the
building was completed, by Dr. Girardeau,
but as a good work can not be performed loo
often, we do not object.)
Last May Rer. H. B. Garriss was installed
Kastor. He has proven a man after our own
hearts, and we believe God will abundantly
bless his labors here.
Mr. Dunlop's sermons last night and this
morning were very fine, exceeding, if possible,
the dedication sermon of yesterday. He will
carr}' to his home the good wishes and love of
all his newly-made friends at
. WEDGEFIELD.

Tb ?7?e Peopfe o/" Sumter %vm '
arcd County:
DEAR FRIENDS-For the past:
six years each and every one ?f
you have no doubt heard of tfe
Business House owned and con?
ducted by DUCKER & BDXTMAN?.
We now come before you
again, and have no hesitation in
saying that at least two-thirds
of the inhabitants of this 'Game
Cock' County have had some
business transaction, be it ever
so small, or be it large, with the
above named firm, during those
six years. Again, for the la*fc
three months all the newspa- ?
pers in this State have been
writing about "The New DeaP' ^
which is likely to take place ra
our political affairs, and we say,
right, they are, to advocate it, ?
provided sufficient reasons can
be given that our present rep- :
resentatives have not managed
our affairs in the right and pro- g?
per manner.
Let this be as it may, we bave neither ^
time nor space to dwell, upon political -
affairs at present Should you desire a
change jon can assert your rights when f|
electron time comes. Not only have tho
people a right to change their representa-- K
ti ves in the legislative halls, bat they
also have a right to- change the places pg?fj
where they have been trading iil^a^^
years, when they find that the man "fl I
whom they have been trading is ifl
posing upon them by charging hifl
prices for inferior gooda ; and_att?^MH
very time when the so-called **King!^S!
Cotton is low in price, it is every oneV f?gg?
duty to get foll valae for his hard-earn?
ed dollar. ^
Prond, yes highly delightc^ar^wj^^
?o inform yon thiaitj^^^
fl fcis advocayaid fl
yet said in ou^^^P^^TalW^B^M
trading at DUCKER <fc B ULT M A >l| J
I want a new deal and a change.- K >
the contrary, we can safely tell you our ?%
business is increasing day after day, and
whilst times are hard we are nowt as^
well as in the past, ready and willing, to \ ?
j sett aU of our goods in accordance with
\ the low price of cotton.
j We have made it a rule, and hope
every one in Sumter County will do . '?
likewise, Never Advance Backward, ?
but always go forward, and let the past -,
take care of itself For instance, if a
merchant buys a stock of gooda and .
keeps them in store say thirty days, it
is, in our opinion a very poor idea to . .
tell his customers that he has, in order
to sell his stock, advanced prices back?
ward, because it only shows t?at the
stock was marked too high at first.
We never, or hardly ever, sell at cost,.
for we most live on the profits ; But
we never mark our goods more than trill--'?
pay us for handling them% and unless
we have a lot of old goods, you will
never, we hope, hear us ery "Advance
Backward." We are willing to sell
you gooda with small margins above
cost, and thns'weare always able to
offer New Goods at New Prices, and
hence no need to Advance Backward,
because the people boy oar goods fast
enough to avoid having old stock.
We have recently enlarged Store, and
don't you forget, our Stock has also been
increased, and we have a good force of
polite and attentive Clerks, and, adding
to this oar low prices and good quality
of Goods, wc don't hesitate to say but
what you will contions to patronize us
in future as weil as you have io the
past.
To those who hare never traded with .
us, we would soy-Give us a trial
when you are ready to boy? and also
when you are ready to sell your Cotton,
for we are in position io pay the highest
prices, according to market, and we
GUARANTEE FAIR PEALING.
Well, remember that we carry the :
BEST LINE OF
Fancy Groceries and MctioBgries;
IN THIS TOWN,
and we also carry a good stock of
DOMESTIC DRY DOODS,
Shoes, Bats and Clothing,
and we have just opened a case of .
PRINTS which we will sell you at 4
cents per yard, and a case of
STANDARD PRINTS
which we will sell you
5 CENTS.
These are Choice Goods, and are
worth 6 to 3 cents.
These are REAL BARGAINS, aad j
you should not fail to secure some of> .:. :
them. ''.'---I
