We doubt if any town in the State was 'blessed with more ef?cient sermons than were delivered in the pulpits of Sumter yesterday.

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.

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.' Mechanics ville Items. MECEAXICSYILLK, S.

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. Yours, PBS. 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 j could not do without it. It has stopped my hair from falling, restored its natural black oolor and whoBy cteMwed it from dandruff. -'JtoPtel Aji?^,;st;i?u?rMo. . JB: m 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." [We fear our correspondent is standing in slippery places. No man can attack the mys? teries of feminine apparel and escape unscath? ed. He is just as sure to meet trouble as are the sparks to fly upward.-ED.] I bear your Bishopville correspondent "L." is quite sick. I see in the Religious Herald that Rev. C. C. Brown has taken cnarge of the State Mission work (Baptist) of Tennessee. Is it our Rev. C. C. Brown? [Not by any manner of means.-Ko.] Qui VIVE. -- III Corbett's Mill Items. 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.) ?Ar Louis Parro tt, of Macon, Ga., is visiting Mr. J. A. Galloway. We bad a heavy thunder storm last night.
