Graham, of this town, was one of the brides? maids. -^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Death. Mr. Thos. Daniel Jenkins died at his fath? er's residence in Swimming Pens at 8 o'clock, Wednesday evening, 7th instant. His feeble health compelled him to desist from bis busi? ness as trial justice at Bisbopville, months ago, and he gradually failed-for the past few weeks rapidly-till death took him. Be was ; calm, patient and resigned through all these weary weeks. A large concourse participated in the burial services at Rembert's Chcrch on the 9th in? stant, which were conducted by Rev. S. P. H. Elwell assisted by Rev. W. W. Mood FBIESO. Miss Martha Graham, who has been living in the Jackson family for thc past 45 years died at their borne near Providence, last week, aged abont 70 years. Mr. Thos. A. Norvell, a printer who worked in this office for abont two months in December 1884 and Jannary, '85, and who left Sumter the latter part of January, with tbe purpose of going to Florida, died on the 20th of last February at the home of his rather, in Nashville, Tenn., after an illness of a day and a-balf. He was a yonng man -about or under 30 years old, and unmar? ried. He was an excellent printer-above the average-a genial companion, and in our, intercourse, showed himself a gentleman. It was but natural thai we became attached to bim during his stay, and regretted when he decided to go. And now, on learning of bis death, through a letter from one of his family we feel that we have lost a friend other than a passing acquaintance-and offer to his family oar sympathy. Religious. The Right Rev. W. B. W. Howe, Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Chnrch in this Dio? cese, will preach, and administer the rite of Confirmation, at the Church of the Holy Com? forter on next Sunday night. Services to be? gin at 8 o'clock. Bishop Howe will hold service at the Epis? copal Chnrch ia Stateburg, on Sunday morn? ing. Rev. A. J. Stokes, P. E., will hold the second Quarterly Meeting for Sumter Station, the l?th and 18th of April. Quarterly Confer? ence will be held Friday night of the 16th in the Methodist Church. Harmony Presbytery. This Presbytery had a most harmonious session with the Darlington Church and ad? journed Saturday to meet at Manning next year. The services on Sunday were of espe ! cial interest. Postponed The entertainment to be given by the ' LSumter Amateur Dramatic Club has been j postponed a week, and will be given May ! 6th. The programme will appear next week. Porter's Garden Hoe. ??

Price $1.00. -i I ? ??? j Call at Dr. J. F. W. DeLorme's drug store I for Diamond Easter Dyes. The fieligious Meetings. Messrs. Sayford and Towner with Mrs Towner reached Sumter this morning, Tb< meetings will commence in the Presbyterial Church to-night, and the place of their contin? uance will be determined and announced al that time. Preliminary services were held in the Meth? odist Church Sunday night where a densely picked audience was addressed by Rev. C. C. "Brown followed by Rev. R. P. Franks,- and in the Baptist Church last night when Messrs. Franks and Kershaw spoke. The pastors of the Episcopal, Methodist, Presbyterian and Baptist Churches have entered into the work with earnest enthusiasm, and the people of Sumter have every reason to expect a gracious revival. The coming of these evangelists and the work in which they and the pastors of our churches are so deeply interested, is a matter of the deepest and most practical importance to ali. No one except an infidel can doubt tbe need of preparing for a life beyond the grave ; - and no one should risk his future happiness by delaying the consideration of this all important matter. We trust that the series of meetings will do us all good-make us better christians, better citizens, better business men ; for the religion that does not enter our practical, everyday lives, destroy? ing what is wrong and wicked, and strength? ening what is good and holy will be worth very little in that great day when the Judge of all the earth appears. What Do You Think of It? The clerks or at least mauy of them would like to attend fbe religious service at night daring the week. If our merchants would close promptly at seven o'clock, they could do so. We think this could be done and not a dime lost by it. We know it would be a favor to the clerks. What do you think of it? i The screens hate been removed from the front of the bar-rooms in town. The County Commissioners, backed by the Grand Jury, were the moving cause. The election for town officers is progressing quietly to-day. ,As we go to press the issue is doubtful in the extreme, both sides putting forth every effort. We know we will have a good Council anyway, so we are serene. Mr. Stehle ls overflowing with good things, and tells our readers about them in to-day's issue. His rolls and bread and cake and pies and candy and all the other good things, are just delicious. The Misses McEIhose have received a large and varied assortment of Spring and Sum? mer goods, and are prepared to satisfy and gratify the tastes and;pockets of all. Their advertisement will be found in another column. We are glad to know that Mr. D. J. Winn is reaping a substantial reward for his liberal use of printers ink, and those intending to purchase Spring goods had better attend to that duty promptly, or they will have to wait for the second edition. His enormous stock is fast disappearing. Weare indebted to Mr. C. B. Eorteous, who removed from Sumter to New Brighton, Pa., several years ago, where he is now en? gaged in merchandising, for late papers pub? lished at that place. From one of them we clip the following: Charles B. Porteous has. an interesting relic off the steamer Oregon, lost in the Atlantic on the 14th inst. It is a part of a newspaper, on which is his name and address, mailed from Queenstown, Ireland. Attached to the piece of paper is a slip with the follow ; ing words on if, signed by Postmaster Pear j son of New York : 'Portion of mail for I wafded from Queenstown, Irelaud, per steamer Oregon. Jt was damaged before teing taken from that vessel, which-was sunk off Fire Island, March 14th.' SPRING ANO SUMMER. 1886.

Mr. Editor : After reflecting for a conside? rable length of time I have come to the con? clusion to abandon the idea of being a preacher-there is no money in it. I have thought over all the professions in life and find that the "Almighty Dollar" has taken wings and flown from all. If a merchant, he furnishes goods and credit, and in return, instead of dollars and cents, gets abuse ; if a farmer by the time he pays for supplies and gets through with "Caffy" be comes out the little end of the boru tapered to a fiine point ; then the lawyer dees all of bis talking and brainwork for nothing ; the Doctor with bis pill box goes night and day, and finds in the end that his labor too is given away ; lastly ?3 the Editor, which pro? fession I had almost concluded to follow, but read an article a few days since which told of one found dead (supposed he perished to death,) and the contents of his pocket book were a button and a postage stamp that had notjbeen used but once, (of course he was not a married man for the button would have been on his pants instead of being in his pocket book.) So I will have to give this profession up also. Two young men from Johnson Coup ty, N. C., while trying to make their way to East over by stealing a ride jumped from the train on being discovered by Ule" conductor and one was badly hurt. Dr. Sfayea took charge of the case and after a three days stop be was sent to his journey's end by the aid of a purse made up by the citizens. Mr. A. G. Warren ha3 resigned his position in the Express office-Mr. Frank Rowland succeeding. Mayesville is quiet, that kicking horse is also quiet, in fact, he is fast becoming a daisy. Conductor Webb on W. C. & A. road is a most obliging official. I am under many obligations io him for the kind care shown to my grand daughter while returning from school in Columbia. DUGGAN.

The farmers are through planting corn and are busy preparing for cotton. The average of cotton is much reduced in this section. Some of the farmers will plant but four acres to the horse. Mr. J. N. Connors ano* wife, of Centemille, Clarendon Cou-sty, have been visiting Mr. T, B. Owen. Fires were plentiful during March, and much damage has been done. Mr. Editor, at the request of your corres? pondent, I will try to tell "where the gray mule has been between the funeral and resur? rection." He has been over in Columbia, and become very thin ; and we are having so much Dev upon the grass around Manchester, that we farmers thought we would bring him back so he would be able to bock.

There is perhaps no disease so prevalent as dyspepsia or indigestion, and one too, that up to the present time, has baffled tb e sk i 11 of the most eminent Physicians. Two-thirds of the chronic diseases have their origin in dys? pepsia. The symptons 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 bead, 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. If you are suffering with any of these symp? toms DR. HOLT'S DYSPEPTIC ELIXIR Will Cure you. For gale bj Dr. A. J. China. Physicians are invited to call and see formula.
