He was the father of Mr. W. H. Cuttino of this place, who was also sick of the same disease at the same time i and whose death occurred just one week ! after-Satnrday morning June 5th. Dr. John I..Miller, aa%H and highly res ! peeted citizen of our towx? died on last Fri [day after a few days illness. Although in foiling health for sereratyears, his last illness was of short duration. Dr. Miller was the son of the late John B. Miller, one of the most prominent of Sumter's early settlers, and in many respects inherited the sterling qualities of his father. Dr. Miller, though a man of decided character and firm convictions, never sought public life; but adorned the position of a private citizen, and has left an example worthy of imitation by the rising generation. He went as a private in the^terst Company that left Sumter in the late war-Co. D., Kershaw's Regiment, and among those who followed his remains to their last resting place were a few of bb old comrades wearing tbe badge "Co. D." The funeral was held at the Presbyteriaa Church, of which he was a member, and his remains were interred at the Sumter Cemetery. Religious. Communion was observed on last Sunday at the Presbyterian, Episcopal and Methodist Churches, and the pastor of ths former was assisted by Rev. J. S. Cosby, from Mt. Zion, who preached on Saturday and Sunday. Rev. Samuel Leard, from Manning, preached at the .Methodist Church both morning and night and at the latter service delivered tbe memorial address as before announced, and which also took the place of the usual monthly union sermon. The pastor, Rev. John Kershaw, officiated at the Episcopal Church. He will be in at? tendance at his other Churches the next two Sundays, and consequently absent from this Church. Privateer Items. PRIVATEER, S. C., June 2,-1886. Air. R. M. Cain is quite sick ; our com? munity extend sympathies, and hope for his speedy recovery. Little John Osteen is able to be raised in bed at last. He has been sick about fourteen weeks. Wbooping-eoogb is prevailing in several famines*. Farmers have put in a telling week's work ance the raia, and crops look clean and grow? ing. Oats are beginning to ripen and stock will soon be made glad by a change from corn (I am thankful to say very little western corn) and fodder to this less heating grain. Through the kindness of a friend I was pilot? ed to Home Branch Church last Sunday, where tbe Black River Baptist Union met on Friday. Our road led by Col. W. L. Reyaold's where we. saw some ?ne cotton, and good corn. Along the Manning road we saw several fields of good cotton and corn, all nicely worked. At Packsville we saw an old log church about 14x14 feet nearly io ruins ; it was used ^y ?congregation of Washfoot Baptists seve? ral yea? ago : the sect is now extinct in this part of the country. The residence of Mr. Curtis would not do discredit to Columbia; tho' to my un-artist eyes the coloring did not harmonize. Mr. C. has some fine cotton. Arriving at the Church, the woods were literally alive with animals of all descriptions from the trotter of the "sport" to the less slowly but equally servicable plow mule. The Church could hold hardly half of the congregation which had gathered from a radius of tea miles. . The venerable Rev. H. B. Mahoney who has preached toCalvkry Church for fifty-five years, preached a powerful sermon at the morning service. The subject of his discourse was Push Forwardy this aged man of God, though the winters of four score years have silvered his hair, yet possesses a clarion voice and an eagle eye. May he be spared another score ia which to do the Master's work'. Rev. B, C. Lampley announced that Rev. L. D. Bass of Manning would preach at four o'clock in the afternoon. The congregation began to disperse, and Mr. -Editor, "old bachelor" as I am, when that vision of loveliness burst upon my sight as the fair ones began to emerge from that weather beaten old church, the sluggish blood in my veins suddenly rebound? ed with tbe elasticity of youth. Most of the congregation went to the homes of those living near. Thirty or forty remained and bad a picnic dinner. Alas! I seriously feared we would not have an oppor? tunity of getting into a skirmish in the "bat? tle of life;" but after awhile several chal? lenges were given, and-it is needless to say with what results. We were captured by some friends and fared finely. The young people then whiled away the time as only young people know how. Promptly at four o'clock the service began. Rev. Mr. Bass preached a fine sermon on "The duty of giving systematically." As some of our readers may want to know "what next?" I will say we left for our bonus, and have been killing grass "with a vengeance" since Monday morning, bright and early. Died at her residence on June 1st., in her 76th year, Mrs. A. E.

The minutes of the Church during Dr. Fur man's entire pastorate are very imperfect; hut we know from the testimony of living witnesses that hts work in Sumter was crown? ed with blessing. Ata called meeting of the Church, held September 2, 1866, Dr. Furman tendered his resignation, after having served them nearly three years. The ground of hts resignation was an inadequate salary, and a call to the Church of Darling? ton. The Chtfrcb passed a series of resolu? tions, lamenting the prospective departure of Dr. Furman, and a committee was appoint? ed to look out another pastor. The result was tbat Dr. Furman was induced to remain at a salary of fifteen hundred end fifty dollars. In those days, cotton was selling at forty cents a pound, and Green, Watson & Walsh were doing a very large business. If ? am not mistaken, six or seven hundred dollars of the salary was paid by them and their employees. In this same month (September,) the pastor commenced a series of meetings, and before the close, H. W. Gardner, Maj. 0. Blanding, Mrs. G. U. Graham, Miss Mary Walsh (now Mrs. B. P. Cuttino) and others were received for baptism. The arrangement to secure Dr. Funnan's services not yet being completed, an effort was made to call Rev. J. A. W, Thomas, of Ben nettsville; but Mr. Thomas deetined the call of the Church. On October 9, the following persona now living were received for baptism, viz. : S. M. Dinkins, J. D. Wilder, Kate B. China, and Ulrica Dinkins. Miss L. E. Dinkins (Mrs. Steinmeyer) and S. Henry Harrington were received on the 13th following, and all of them were baptised on the 14 th. The effort to retain Dr. Furman was kept up. He had accepted a call to Darlington, and the Church here wrote a letter to the Dar? lington Church requesting them to release him from his engagement. If they would not do this, they were asked to appoint a committee to confer with a committee from this Church with reference to the matter. Meanwhile the offer of fifteen hun? dred and fifty dollars was made to Dr. Fur? man if be would remaia here, and after con? siderable parleying the Darlington Church agreed to leave Dr. Furman free to accept either call be saw fit, and tbe result was that he remained in Sumter. On November^, Wm. Yeadon, wb? bad been baptized in the army, was received into the Church by experience. These army baptisms were, in a measure irregular, but the revivals held in camp were often productive of much good, though some who made religious pro? fession there nevef fulfilled their promises Try reporting afterwards to the Churches at home. " At a called meeting, November 16, 1866, Samuel M. Richardson was received and the ordinance of baptism administered to bim. Mr. Richardson was afterwards ordained to the ministry, being just licensed February 3, 1867. In December, a long discussion was bad concerning finances, and a committee was ap? pointed on what we may term "ways and means." Besides the^ pastor's salary, each member was requested'to pay 25c monthly to meet "ordinary current expenses." In ad? dition to the deacons, tbree members were appointed and tbe whole constituted the com? mittee on finance. This committee controlled all monetary matters. T. V. Walsh, C. T. Mason and H. W. Gardner were the three ap? pointed to aid tbe deacons. The minutes for J867 amount to nothing, the record being very sadly incomplete. In October, 1866, a meeting was held to con? sult with tbe negro members 83 to their rela? tionship to the Church j but nothing definite was arrived at. The matter went on unsettled until January, 1868, when Mr.W. F. B. Hayng worth reported that he had not yet been able to secure a meeting of the negroes to consult with them. In June, however, they asked for letters of dismission to unite with the Shiloh Baptist Church, and tb? letters were granted. On the 18th of Oct ober, Dr. Furman tender? ed his resignation for a second and last time, notifying the Church of his intention to re? move to aootber field on the first of Jaouary. Brother W. F. B. Haynswortb prepared a re? sponse to Dr, Futman's letter. On November 8, 1868, the Church voted by a ballot for a pastor, and brethren Gardner and Walsh were instructed to notify Rev. S. M. Richardson that the Church bad called bim at a salary of five hundred dollars per annum. This was a considerable coming down from the amount paid Dr. Furman. But the truth is, Dr. Furman's salary was larger .than the Church was able to pay, and when reaction came, the body found itself weaked by the ex? cessive effort. Working upon an inflated basis is disastrous to Churches as well as to merchants. Brother Richardson accepted the call, and the promise vjas made that the salary should be raised to six hundred dollars if possible. Brother Richardson had not yet been ordain to the ministry, aud November 22 was set apart for that purpose. Ou the day named, Dr. Furman preached his valedictory, and on the evening, Brother Richardson was set apart to the ministry by a presbytery con? sisting of Dr. Richard Furman, Dr. J. 0. B. Dargan and Rev. H. B. McCallum. Dr. Fur? man removed from Sumter to Newberry. In April, 1869, brethren Walsh and Gard? ner were appointed to investigate the financial condition of the Church, and the result show? ed a debt of eight hundred and thirty-six dollars and thirty-six cents, a part of which it appears, was borrowed money. About this time, the seats in the rear of the Church were elevated for tbe use of the choir. November 6, 1369, the Charleston Baptist Association convened with tbis Church. On the 31st, leave was granted to pastor to devote one Sabbath in thc month to destitute Churches. December 14, 1869, a seal for the Church was adopted, and on motion of Brother E. A. Edwards, tbe Church conveyed its real estate in trust to W, F. B. Haynsworth and Samuel Watson, and pledged a salary of seven hun? dred dollars to the pastor for the ensuing year. On January 30,1870, Deacon W. J. Dargan and hi? wife received letters of dismission and removed to Greenville, S. C. Brethren Edwards, Blanding, Fort and Watson were appointed a committee to raise funds to re-shingle the Church. At a special meeting, May l&th, 1870, brother W. H. Cuttino was received on a cer? tificate from Rev. D. W. Cuttino stating that he was in full fellowship with the Georgetown Church when it became virtually extinct or bad dissolved. On the same day, Mrs. Cut? tino was received frora Taw Caw Church. Brother W_ H. Garduer was elected deaco? July 17, 1870, and on the same day, the Bap? tist Convention was invited to meet here in 187K About this time, Brother Samuel Watson died, and the following paper, prepare by Mr. W. F. B. Hay ns worth wa3 adopted by the Church : "Mourning over the loss of our beloved brother and deacon, it is a sad pleasure to us to pay a tribute-to his memory, and to impress upon our record? our appreciation of bis excellencies. "He was dftedby nature willi, much to a>tr!:? tract and retata esteem and love. With high iotegrity of principle and rectitude of pur? pose, there was combined in him great bene? volence, tenderness and winning geniality. The kindness of his nature and the warmth of his feelings exhibited themselves in every action. His heart was in sympathy with his fellow-man, and bis life was full of kind acts and good deeds. He was exemplary in all the relations of life. Ko husband and father could have been more loving and devoted ; no friend more true and ready for the perform? ance of friendly office ; no citizen more blame? less in his conduct,' more unimpeachable in his business relations and acts, more sincere? ly patriotic in his desires and efforts todo good. True piety crowned and shed addition? al lustre upon all these excellencies. Unaf? fected and unostentatious, bis life was jet an example of Christian love and devotion. "In his days of health and vigor, the in Btructions and praises and prayers of the sane tuary were bis delight, and to Zion bis feeble steps would turn when wasting disease had robbed him of bodily ease and racked bis frame with pain. "Nor was he pure and loving only in bis Teelings. Be was especially an active, work? ing Christian. He was ready to devote his time and energies sad means to every duty, to every good object, to every benevolent or holy purpose. He worthily performed his part is a member and de^on of the Church of Christ, rle was loved by all who knew bim, and es pecially hy ns, bis brethren, and our sympa? thy with his bereaved family is heightened by c?rsense of the loss we have ourselves sus tained."
