We are looking for their return by every train- that comes in. We are glad to welcome back Mrs. R. A. McLaurin, who has just returned from her trip to Battle Creek and Kalamazoo, Mich., improved in health a d perfectly delighted with her visit. She speaks in glowing terms of the great hospitality of the people she met, and their intense sympathy with dear old Charleston in her recent calamity, substantial evidence Of which is being manifested every- [ where in their free will offerings to the suffer- ? ers.' The heart of this great American people is touched. Truly the angel of peace o'er sbadows our land, from the Pacific to the At? lantic, from the Lakes to tee Gulf; and the spread of her wings is equalled by the breadth of sweet charity's robes. .'The drying np a single tear has more Of honest fame, than shedding seas of gore." Can you solve the puzzle ir* li. ilarby's ad Tertisement in to-day's issue? Married. : Mr. J. Poulson Russell, of Florence, and Miss Fowler McCutchen, of Indiantown, WU liamsburg County, were married last Wed? nesday,. Sept. 15tb, and left immediately on a visit to Kentucky Death. Dietl, at his residence four miles above town, on yesterday morning at 5 o'clock, after a long illness, Mr- Stephen Wallace, aged 67 years. His remains will be buried at the Moore graveyard this morning at 10 o'clock.-Marlboro Democrat. Mr. Wallace was the father of Mr. W. T. Wallace of our County: Cotton is coming In briskly, and the side? walks have the barricaded appearance usual during the cotton season. It is worth 8| to? day in Sumter. In Charleston it was quoted yesterday 8} to 9\. The Bishopville R. R. is In two miles of the Big Oak. That celebration will come off tn a short time, we imagine. Mr. Jas. R. Avin, of Privateer, killed a rat? tlesnake last week as large around as his arm and with ten rattles and a button. We wish Col. Avin much joy of his new title. Thanks for a copy of the commencement address by Rev. Ellison Capers, of Greenville, delivered at Charleston before the S. C. Mili? tary Academy at the late Commencement, Joly 28th, 1886. We call attention io the Card of Messrs. G. 0. Sacot k Go., cotton buyers, of Sum? ter, S. C., of which firm Mr. Herman Schwerin is the Go. They ask farmers to call before selling. There was an earthquake shock in Charles? ton this morning, bm: we have heard of no j damage resulting. The shock was felt in Sumter by many bf our citizens. Messrs. DuRant & Son have a tremendous stock of hardware on hand. Hinges, screws, nails, locks, stoves, pumps, chains, plows, iron, wire, rope-~oh I well, everything one can seed in the hardware line. Mr. A. A. Solomons is * modest man and doesn't brag on his goods, but in his adver? tisement to-day he gives a brief glimpse of the attractions of his establishment. From the front of his tastefully arranged store to the rear of his well packed grocery, it is filled with the useful and the beautiful. An in? spection will satisfy the most skeptical. Mr. B. R. Nash, representing Messrs. Duke & Sons has sent us some fine specimens of 1 their smoking tobacco. We are no judge 1 of the virtues of the divine weed, but those , who are, pronounce it splendid. Among i other small item?, that firm shipped near th ir- ' ty millions of cigarettes in July. < Mr. D. J. Winn makes hts Fall Announce- \ ment in his usual way-by a half page, ad- . vertisement. There is no wonder that Winn's j clothing emporium is a success. He keeps the best of goods and then tells the people about it. and tells them in such a way they ! can't help seeing it. 1 Ryttenberg A Sons greet our readers most pleasantly this week. Their advertisement . will be closety read, especially by the ladies, j and its enummeration of the pretty, the use* ] fal, the charming novelties of the season will produce but one effect-a determination to go shopping immediately. Their patrons may ? be sure of getting whatever they call for, even 1 thoozh it be a poet, though we suppose he will bring a high price. < We call attention to the card of Mr. W. M. 1 DeLorme, in another colaron. He has been with Mr. Solomons seventeen years and this speaks well for both employer and employee. ; Mr. DeLorme belongs to that class of men who of ail others should -be appreciated by : us-a wounded confederate soldier, depen- j dent opou his own exertions for a livelihood, and asking nothing as a gift from the people. We admire and honor all such. A. A. Solomons, is offering bargains. Go and supply yourselves. Our Schools. The female schools in tow? are reported ia a most prosperous condition. The Institute and Academy both hare an unusually large ati?ndanse, while the Eeleetie is having a splendid send oft ia its well filled roll of students. A Night School. Professors Dick and McIntosh have opened a night school for the accommodation of the business young men of town whose occupa? tions prevent their attendance during the day. Terms $2.00 per month.

Donation from a Colored Church, A mass meeting held at Shiloh Baptist Church, Rev. J. E. Harmon pastor, last Thursday evening for the purpose of collect? ing money for the Charleston sufferers raised over twelve dollars for tbatwortby object. A-O. tr. w. Mr. A. A. Fuller,.Deputy Grand Master Workman of the Ancient Order of United Workmen is in town to-day in tbe interest of | that organization. The A. 0. of ?. W. is the oldest assessment insurance organization in the United States, having been in existence 18 years and is said to be the strongest-now numbering 170,000 members. The Manning Academy has a larger patron? age this year than ever before, and the stu? dents are doing some good work and bird studying. Mr. Bonham is now convalescent, and is expected to be able in a short time to enter upon his duties as a teacher in the Academy.-Clarendon Enterprise. m^mm m ? 1^ Complimentary. We clip the following from the Florence Times. The complimentary mention of Rev. J. T. Pate is very pleasant to those of us who have so long known our former townsman. All the friends of Christianity rejoice in the contiuued progress and prosperity of the Methodist Church in this town. The audi? ences are very large every Sunday morning and night. The prayer meeting on Thursday night is well attended. On last Sunday, four persons applied for membership. This makes ibo ut thirty accessions this year to the church. The pastor Rev. J. Thos. Pate, has been earn? est in his work, and the above gratifying re? mits are due to his energetic pastorate. Mr. Pate has gained a deep bold upon oar whole people; and, thnsfar in advance of the meet* ing of Conference, we but express the uni rersal sentiment when we say that not only ins own church, but those connected with all the other churches in Florence, are unanimous ibr his return here next year. The October Harper's is unusually rich in poetry. The most important poem is "The Brahman's Son," a powerful picture of India life, with four exquisite illustrations by Alfred Fredericks. A sonnet by Andrew Lang, entitled "Grass of Parnassus," is illus irated by Alfred Parsons. The other offer? ings to the moses are "A Band of Bluebirds," by William H. Hay ne, "The Reapers," by Will Wallace Harney, "Indian Summer," by Commander William Gibson, and "The Quaker Lady," by Margaret Deland. Very bright with picture, and amusing with story, is the October number of Our Lit? tle Mea and Women. There is the tale of an antelope some Western children had for a playfellow ; a charming chapter of "Me and My Dolls," by L. T, Meade, the English author; a true history paper about Colum? bus; a little talk about silk-worms; and some funny poems. D. Lothrop & Co , Bos? ton Mass. A. A.

Low Country Malaria Ousted. Westmoreland's Calisaya Tonic is prescrib? ed by all prominent physicians, and is undoubtedly the best Tonic now beiug sold.
