Married, on December 16th, at the residence
of the bride's mother, by Rev. John Kershaw,
Mr. Benjamin Hodges and Miss Maria R.,
daughter of the late Dr. Mark Reynolds.
Double Marriage.
One of the loveliest sights ever seen in this
County was that witnessed at the residence of
Mr. J- M. Jennings, the brides' father, on the
evening of 29th of December last. It was the
double marriage of the two charming sisters,
Misses Annie and Rosine Jennings "to Sum
ter^a popular and favorite salesmen, Mr.
James L. Haynsworth and Mr. James H.
Chandler. The Rev. N. W. Edmunds per
formed the marriage ceremony in his usually
impressive and eloquent manner. And all
were happy.
~ The Watchman and Southron return thanks
to Mr. Haynsworth and Mr. Chandler for the
wedding-cake sent to us.
Religious.
Rer. B. C. Lampley will preach at Gra
ham's Church at four o'clock on next Sunday.
Rev. C. C. Browu was absent last Sunday,
having gone to Georgetown to re-establish a
Church there.
Presiding Elder, Rer. J. S. Beasley,
preached an able sermon last Sunday morn
ing at the Methodist Church. We are glad
to hear that he will make Sumter bis place of
residence, and welcome him in our midst.
Union Services were held at the Presbyte
rian Church on last Sunday night, "The new
pastor of the Methodist Chorcb,"*the Rev. T.
E. Wannamaker, preached an interesting
sermon to a large and appreciative congre- j
g?tion.
Rev. N. W. Edmunds gave notice to his
congregation on last Sunday morning that he
would preach next Sunday at"Mt. Zion, and
that probably there - would be no service at
the Presbyterian Church on that day.
An Important Meeting
Secretary E. W. Dabbs gives notice in this
issue that the third Annnal Meeting of the
Sumter Agricultural Association will be held
in the Courthouse on the second Thursday in
January, 13th instant. A full attendance is
requested,- and it is very important that this
request be heeded by the members v of this
organization, as the election of officers and
other necessary business will be attended to
at this meeting.
Postponed.
Owing to the inclemency of the weather,
and the unasu&l amount of business which
the farmere of this County had to attend to
on yesterday, the Farmers' Meeting was
postponed to a later date, of which notice
will he given. Hon. Jas. E. Tindall, of Clar
endon, was to Sumter and prepared to ad
dress the farmers.
Salesday.
There was a big crowd in town yesterday.
Most of the property advertised in the Master's
and Sheriffs sales was disposed of at pretty
fair figures.
A great many of the old horses and mules,
which were brought to town yesterday, could
hardly be classed under the bead of livestock,
but they were put on the market for sale, all
the same.
? ? I I ?
Pleasant Anniversary.
In compliment to their honorary members
the Ladies' Aid Society of the Presbyterian
Church will give a supper this evening at the
residence of the President, Mre. . W. Ed
munds. As the bill of fare has no doubt
been the subject of earnest discussion for
some time past, it is hoped that the honorary
members may be in a condition to do ample
justice to what will be set before them.
A Shake.
For some reason or other the sexton of the
Presbyterian Church did not make fire in the
sto. j until a short while before preaching
on last Sunday morning, and as a malter of
course the temperature within was not as
pleasant as it might have been. To be on a
shake during divine services may not affect
the spiritual welfare of a congregation but it
does the physical.

"Murder Will Out."
On the 28th of December last Sheriff San
ders was informed that a suspicious character
was in or about the Town of Sumter, who
was supposed to be guilty of murder and that
said character hailed from Laurens County.
Sheriff Sanders immediately telegraphed this to
the Sheriff of L?ureos County and was inform
ed by a return telegram that one Watt Allison,
colored was wanted for murder. The Sheriff
and bis deputy them commenced to look oat
for the party, and or the evening of the 29th
ultimo, Capt. P. P. Gaillard, having reason to
believe he had his man in 'sight, arrested a
young colored man and put him up and im
mediately telegraphed to the Sheriff of Lau
rens County who arrived here on the seven
o'clock train the following evening and iden
tified the man as Watt Allison who had kill
ed a woman at L?ureos, C. H., on the 16th of
December last at a frolic. Allison was here
going under the assumed name of Walter
Durham.
A. P. M. Installation and Supper
An extra communication of Claremoot
Lodge was held Monday evening of last week
when the following officers were installed for
the ensuing mason is year :
- P. M., J. A. M ood, W. M.
Bro. Marion Mo?se, S. W.
Bro. A. . Freeland, J. W.
Bro H. Ryttenberg, Treas.
P. M., H. C. Moses, Sec.
P. M., W. F. Rbame, S. D.
Bro. R. A. Brand, J. D.
Bros. W. M. DeLorme and . K. DeLorme,
Stewards.
Bro. R. M. Jones, Tiler.
After the installation ceremonies, the
brotherhood repaired to W. J. Andrewe' res
taurant, where a sumptuous repast was in
waiting, bat not f r long. Masons have pro
verbially good appetites, and they well sus
tained their reputation that night. Several
interesting speeches were made, and one by
Maj. Moise was especially good. It is not
often that after-dinner speeches are intended
for more than passing amusement, but the
words of troth and soberness spoken by the
Senior Warden of the Lodge should sink deep
into the hearts of every Mason who heard
them. To strive after clean, honest lires, and
to insist that those who enter the brother
hood shall be able to stand erect before his
brother as a man of honor and probity, are
cardinal duties imposed by the Masonic obli
gation, and the speaker gave free scope to his
expressions of veneration for the ancient te
nets of the order, which contained so much of
good to mankind. Col. Wallace entertained
the guests with a laughable account of the
troubles of a Mason's wife, whose husband
had taken two hundred and thirty-three de
grees, and was then out in quest of the two
hundred and thirty-fourth degree. Tbe
evening was one of unalloyed enjoyment.

Providence Christmas Tree.
The Providence Sunday School Christmas
Tree was a grand success, judging from what
we saw and heard. The pleasant smiles and
happy faces indicated that happy hearts were
within.
The tree was tastefully placed in the Church
and handsomely decorated. The prizes and
presents were placed in and around it in a
most attractive manner.
There were eight first prizes, consisting of
pictures, vases and dolls. The twelve sec
ond prizes were also beautiful and most taste
fully selected.
The school also had 50 presents on the tree
for all its scholars, and these presents were of
almost every imaginable kind to please and
make glad the children.
The prizes and gifts gave universal satisfac
tion, as was shown by the bright smiles of
those whose names were called and the cheer
ful manner in which they received their gifts ?
and they did it so gracefully, too, for most as
suredly some of the dear little ones were dis
appointed in not getting just what they prob
ably wished for.
The school has looked forward to this
evening with pleasure and delight ; and no
doubt there have been many perfect recita
tions on account of the looked-for prizes. It
would be productive of good if the schools
would generally have something of this kind
to encourage the pupils who are often too
much neglected, and are deprived of innocent
pleasures because of a lack of energy on the
part of the "old folk3." Xsias.

Vick's Floral Guide.
Lovers of thebeantiful in art and floricul
ture have in store a rich treat in the perusal
of Vick's Floral ; Guide for the year 18S7.
Each succeeding year brings great improve
ment in this popular annual, and the pre
sent edition is far in advance of previous
issues in beauty of exterior, number and
elegance of floral and vegetable illustrations,
aud the large varict}- of subjects thoroughly
and practically treated.
The title illustration, a hunch of Pansiee,
and the page in colors of "Border and Bed
ding Plants," are triumphs of cbromo-Ktbo
graphy which have probably never been
excelled, while the hundreds of smaller
illustrations are true to nature and thorough
ly described.
The volume opens with a series of practical
articles of great service to both amateur and
professional gardeners, is followed by faith
ful illustrations showing the interior of
the immense Seed House, and then by en
gravings of all the leading and rare varieties
of flowers and vegetables, with directions for
their colture,
No pains or expense have been spared in
the production of this volume, and eve;y

A New Almanac.
The question of a new Almanac is an im
portant one. Everybody is familiar with the
stereotype publications or books of this class.
We all know what the old time almanac is,
with its fantastic emblems and symbols; its
odd old pictures, the mystical signs of the
Zodiac, the full-face Sun ; and meek looking
Moon. How puzzling all these things are, in
fact, the unskilled in Astronomical Science
can get little else out of the ordinary Alma
nac but the days of the month, and the time
the Sun and Moon rises and sets. Nearly all
of us remember the otd Almanac corner of
the house in which we were raised, and have
constantly before us the remembrance of our
parents; in their accustomed looking up the
rising and setting of the Sun and Moon, and
their cogitations over the prospects and con
jectures of ibe weather : and how the Moon
would be watched to see if her horns were
up or down, so as to know whether dry or wet
weather would prevail. The New Almanac we
refer to is the Violina Almanac jnst publish
ed by the Violina Drug ? Chemical Co., of
Baltimore, Md. This departs from the ordi
nary style of publications of this class, and
while it contains full information about the
Astronomici happenings of the year, the
Seasons, Time, the Sun, the Moon and a full
Calendar for each month; these matters are
no longer portrayed in mystical signs and
symbols, but are put in a comprehensive
shape, easily understood even by children.
The Violina Almanac is particularly adapted
for this section, and the Book contains a com
plete Diary for each day in the year, also a
most interesting compilation of useful hints
and facts that are handy and interesting to
to have in every household. That part of the
calendar pages that is usually filled with ob
solete matters or uninteresting historical
events of the "First Reader*' class?in the
Violina Almanac is used for the trite and ap
plicable sayings of well-known men, this fea
ture alone will make the book valuable. The
Violina Almanac can be gotfon free at the
Drjg Stores, or one copy will be mailed by
the Company on receipt of a two-cent stamp
to pay postape. This is the Company that
advertises Violina Cordiai in our paper,
which Medicine by its merits is fast getting
to be a staoie article of trade. It can be got
ten at the Drug Stores of Dr. A. J China, J.
F. W. DeLorrae. and of all other dealers.

and while warm add a tablespoon ful of sugar

A WELL TRIED TREATMENT
For Consumption, Asthma, Bronchitis,
Dyspepsia, Catarrh, Hay Fever,
Headache, Debilihj, Rheumatism,
Neuralgia, and all Chronic and
Nervous Disorders.
When 'Compound Oxygen' is inhaled, the
heart has imparted to it increased vitality.
That organ sends forth the blood with more
force and les3 wear to itself; the vital cur
rents leave on their circuit new deposits of
vital force in every cell of tissue over which
they pass, and return again to the lungs for
a new supply. This isa rational explanation
of the greatest advance medical science has
yet made.
'The Compound Oxygen Treatment,' D*rs.
Starke? k Palen, No. 1529 Arch Street, Phil
adelphia, have been using for the last sixteen
years, isa scientific adjustment of the elements
of Oxygen and Nitrogen magnetized, and the
compound is so condensed and made portable
that it is sent all over the world.
