We doubt if any town in the State was
'blessed with more ef?cient sermons than were
delivered in the pulpits of Sumter yesterday.
We did not hear all, bot heard front most of
them, and the chores of praise was unani?
mous.
Everybody
should attend the Mosical Concert to-morrow
night. It is for the benefit of the Sumter
Light Infantry, and should have the sympa?
thy and assistance of all our people. We can
never know bow much of the peace and quiet
we enjoyed through the stormy days of Rad?
ical rule was doe to ?he existence ot this com?
pany. We believe it has been a factor for
good ever since its organization, and will be
glad to see the town recognize its usefulness
by affording it practical help.
After the concert, oysters will be served by
the committee assisted by the ladies and we
think that a pleasant time can be promised to
all who attend .

Saturday's Meeticg.
Weare under obligations to Mr. E. W.
Dabbs for his splend id report of the Farmers'
meeting last Saturday. The farmers who did
; not attend missed a great deal but they can
console themselves somewhat by reading this
report, which will give a fair Idea of the day's
work.
We. witt.publish Capt. Brownfield's essay
next week and would be glad to have those
from the other essayists, if they can con
Tien t ly furnish them.
As our correspondent says, 'the meeticg
scored a big success for the Association,' and
the farmer who attended and was not bene
fitted is 'a bard case.'

of Mr. Elijah P. Coachman, after several
weeks of painful illness, at ber brother-in

Picnic and Other Bots.
CEXTZEVUXE. Clarendon, Nov. 17, 1885.
Mr. Editor: It has been some time since I
have troubled you with a squib and as every?
thing is quiet, I will endeavor to gir? you a
few dots from'our little village and its sur?
roundings. The farmers are through gather?
ing their crops and the ring of the carpenter's
hammer is beard all around Cen terrille. Mr.
J. N. Conners is building a new dwelling for
himself. Mr. C. P. Barwick is also putting,
np a new dwelling. He was married on the
8th instant.
I had the pleasure of attending a picnic at
St. James Church on the 14th instant. It
was given to theSuodur school ?nd RCT. N.
J. Brown delivered an address followed by L.
H. DesCbaraps, their Superintendent. He
gave the children a good talk. Mr. Editor,
please get Mr. L. H. DesCham ps to spell a-b
ab for you like the litt le boy did. Wheo Ciar
endon tries to have a picnic there is no use io
trying to beat ber. There were about a hun?
dred persons present. Rations were plentiful
and of the best, and every one did justice to
the occasion.
The health of our community is very good
There ar? a few deaths among the colored
people.
St. James can beast of one thing. She is
square on finance. She has paid her pastor
and all other obligations.

Thanksgiving and the Orphans.
On the 26th of November when our people
assemble to thank God for bis special mercies-,
what better way of shewing that thankful oess
than by giving of their substance to His father
less ooes. the Thon ?well Orphanage, Clin?
ton, S. C., are fifty little children who have no
father bu t God, and whose provision if it come
not from Bim and His people, will not come
at all. Let oar people remember the father?
less on that day. Collections might be made
or those who have no opportunity of going to
church could send their gifts of flour or meal
or provisions of any sort, addressed simply
to the Thorn well Orphanage, Clinton, S. C.,
and it will be applied faithfully to the purpose
forwbicbit is given.
An old intimate friend of mine is Parker's
j Bair Balsam. I har? used it fire years, and

Smithville I terns,
SIHTHTIIXB, S. C., Nov. 10, 1885.
Mr. Editor : We are about through gather?
ing. Cotton turned ont much lighter than
was expected, corn first rate, peas tolerable
and potatoes fine. One of my neighbors made
over 100 bushels of whoppers off a small patch,
another dug his until he got tired and turned
his bogs on them to finish. So you see we
have something now to eat, but the cry is
"no money." Does that mean some money ?
Minta Howard, who had been sick a long
time, died here recently, as usual, with a
?'hand" on her. What kind of hand it was
that killed ber I would like to know. As a
consequecce she was buried with much eclat.
I notice these people cross the grave with
every tool used in burying, lay them down,
say the benediction over them before they can
lie moved. I have never been able to find out
why this is done.
While Bachos Sumter, a harmless old col?
ored man was sitting in his door not long
since at r ight, some person shot at bim twice
and came within a few inches of killing him.
A pistol was used. Suspicion points to a
North Carolina negro who has settled here,
and whose enmity old Bacchus had. incurred
by informing bim that his room was more de?
sirable than hts company.
I am .informed that a negro boy, 12 years
old, was killed on Major Isaac Keels' place by
a falling tree that some one had cut.
The public schools are open. Miss Ulrica
Dinkins will teach at Smithville, Miss Emma
Colclough at Log Church, and Miss Ida Din
kins atPisgah Church, so I am informed.
Mr. Editor, we admire the young ladies in
nearly all they wear, and they generally look
from better to best in whatever costume they
appear in, but there is one they would never
wear did they know how it looked. It is the
"Mother Hubbard." We saw a yoong girl in
one tbe other day and she looked simply
frightful. Now, 1 believe common sense to
be one of the best commodities one cac havej
and it is always in demand, and the woman
(I presume it was a she) who invented the
Mother Hubbard should haye been seut to a
common sense school to learn how to do the
"Eternal fitness of things."

MACSVILLE, S. C., Nov. 19, 1885.
Mr. Editor : Poor Farmer wants to pick a
crow with me acd I am willing to be present
at tbe ceremony. He seems to think that be?
cause every body wants good roads, that the i
people should not be taxed to keep them up.
Now it seems to roe that taxes should be ap?
plied to just such things as everybody needs,
and we don't know anything of more general
need than good roads. We not only need
good roads but our prosperity, to a great ex?
tent, depends upon our having them. The
present system does not result in success and
therefore I advocate a change. And I can
say the same thing of tbe schools. We need
better ones but our present system is a failure
and I advocate a change. I differ with Poor
Farmer as to the present school term being
long enough. It may suit him but not every?
body; Poor Farmer must not measure our
corn by bis half bushel. Abolish the free
schools or give us more. I do not wish to
attach any blame to the teachers. They very
probably carry out in full the contract made
with the County; ?hat I dislike is that thc
teachers are under no contract with the school
patrons, and can act independently of them.
This is unnatural and will always cause dis?
satisfaction and trouble.
J. F. M. may bea sinner, but Poor Farmer
does not stand very far away, and can not
consistently call the pot black. He reminds
me of a little fice which is powerful to bark
and growl but never bites. I would like to
fell you his experience as an agent but must
keep that for another time.
We are talking of building a new school
hoose ourselves. (That's right.-ED.)

Much excitement bas been made by reports

there is one gin-mill to every hundred persons.

ties often defile the human blood. They can

Cure for Piles.
Piles are frequently preceded by a sense of
weight in the back, loins and lower part of
tbe abdomen, causing the patient to suppose
he bas some affection of tbe kidneys or neigh?
boring organs. At times, symptoms of iodi
gestioo are present, fla tnlency, 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 PHes 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
up to the present time, bas baffled the skill of
the mo3t eminent Physicians. Two-thirds of
the chronic diseases bave their origin in dys?
pepsia. The 8ymptons are loss of appetite,
loss of flesh, a feeling of fullness or weight in
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 ?f kidneys,
and not unfreqnently palpitation of the heart.

This offer is only made to the people of Sumter and vicinity,
and for a limited time. It is liberal because our prices are as
low as the same goods can be bought for ANYWHERE. There is
no chance for deception because our price mark is in plain,
figures. Our reason for making this offer is, we desire to bring
to your attention the fact that you can buy your Jewelry, Silver,
etc., in Columbia as cheaply as anywhere else, and by our spe- !
cial offer hope to be able to induce you to give us a trial. j
See the advantages of this offer. In the first place the prices
on the goods are in plain figures, so that there is no adding on
to take off in discount. On a purchase of $10 worth, you get a
discount of $1, getting $10 worth of goods for $9 ; on a $15
purchase the discount is $1.50, which will pay your railroad
fare one way between Sumter and Columbia. The discount OD
a $30 purchase pays your fare both ways ; or a $50 purchase
pays your fare both ways and Hotel Expenses in Columbia.
Now, as you will doubtless need something in our line, say JEW?
ELRY for wife, daughter or sweetheart, or SILVER WARE, either
with or without handsome Plush or Morocco Cases for Wedding
Presents, would it not be to 3<our advantage to buy it from us ?
We think so, and only ask that you give us a trial.
We will send goods C. O. D. with privilege of examining
before paying the bill if 50 cents is enclosed with the order to
guarantee us express charges in case of no sale. If the article
sent was satisfactory, and bought, the 50 cents would be deduct?
ed from the bill. It would be hardly fair to expect us to go to
the trouble of packing and shipping an article and also have to
pay express charges when no sale was effected. We will now
give you some of our prices, but should you want anything in
this line write to, or call on, us and -state what yon would like
to get and how much you wish to pay, and we can suit yx>u.
Remember, only one price on each article, and that in plain figures,
