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?

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.

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

Preach.
MAYESVILLE, S. C., Feb. 8,1886.
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.

BZGOMHH?, April 5, 1886.
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.

Dyspepsia Can be Cured.
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
