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.
House Burned.
Mr. R. L. Heriot lost his dwelling house by
fire last week. It caught fire accidentally
during the day, and was a total loss. There
was au insurance amounting to $600.

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.

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. Solomons has a handsome assort?
ment of good3, and they are cheap.

Low Country Malaria Ousted.
Westmoreland's Calisaya Tonic is prescrib?
ed by all prominent physicians, and is
undoubtedly the best Tonic now beiug sold.
It prevents malaria, and cures dyspepsia and
general debility.
GREENVILLE, S. C., May 22, 18S5.
Messrs. Westmoreland Bro3.-Gentlemen ;
Having used your Calisaya Tonic since 1883,
I cheerfully recommend it to those suffering
from loss of appetite and dyspepsia, also as
a preventative of malaria, having used one
dozen bottles in Florida during the months
of September, October and November 1884.
