Mr. Harby's resignation is to be regretted very much, as the existence of the Sumter Base Ball Association and the possession of our fine Base Ball Park is due mostly to bis efficient management and energy. The Sale of the "Texas Ponies." Quite a number of the citizens of this County came to Sumter on last Friday for tbe purpose of attending the "sale of tbe Texas ponies' at Base Bail Park. Nobody was at borne on that day, as far as the town folks were concerned. All were at the sale The Sumter Institute, the Eclectic College, and the Sumter High School were out in full force, and attracted almost as much attention at the *'wild horses of the West" did. Tbe most noticeable feature of the exhibi tion was tbe dost which completely effaced the beaut?fol powder on the faces of a good many who were present on that day. About 11 o'clock a little well-broken pony was turned into the ring in front of the Grand Stand for exhibition. Cowboy Hogan, who looked lest spirited than the pony, with lasso in band chased the aforesaid animal aronnd tbe ring three or four times and lassoed him with the greatest ea*e. After this the sale > ope ned aod Auctioneer Jervey was at his best, land be told the ponies forali they were worth. Tbej sold for an average of about $42 apiece. The pony, which Mr. W. S. Chandler bought, bat broken its collar bone in one of itt escapades. The one which Mr. H. R. Thomas bought, has bad a colt, and, also, one of too three which Mr. E. H.

His remains were interred in the family burial grounds on the Singleton place on last Saturday. The deceased was beloved for bis many noble qualities by all who l;new himy Isaac James, colored, died on last Satur day of Consumption.

Weeberry, colored, of Mechanicsville lost an infant child on the lltb instant. Suicide. The dead body of Mr. John J. Jennings was found on last Saturday morning in the woods not far from the Statebutg Road. There was a deep cut in the right side of his throat, and his own pocket knife was found at his side. He had been a great suffVrer with a disease which gate him at times excru ciating pain. He left borne on last Wednes day morning and on bis departure said to his family that he intended to spend a few days with a neighbor. It is thought that he had one of bis attacks in the woods where his body was found, and while suffering under the agony of pain he committed suicide. Coroner W. F.

Yes, ladies and gentleman of Sumter, on tbe eve ning of April 20th the pathetic little Cantata, entitled "Trial By Jury," will be rendered in Music Hall in deliciously sweet and be witching music and song by the best home talent.

It will be a de lightful little trip, and a good many are speaking of going.

There is every reason to believe that the Play will be a grand success. Bear in mind "Comrades'" will be presented on the Sumter stage on April 11th and in Darlington April 12th. We .will publish a synopsis of the Play next week. A Malicious Act. The following statement, from Mr. H. J. Bracey of Ramsey, P. 0-, indicates that there is some cowardly rascal about Wedgeficld who should be looked after, unless the occurrence is the result of an accident which may be ac counted for. In either case the good of the community demands that it should be inves tigated : On Sunday night last, the 20lh instant, 1 had occasion to meet the train at Wedgefield. I loosed my horse from my buggy, and hitch ed him to the rack that is used for that pur pose, and proceeded to the depot platform. I had not been there long before 1 heard the report of a shot gun, and heard my horse running off. After reaching the rack I found my borse had broken loose, and followed him without any success of finding him that night. I gave up the hunt and stopped with Mr. Strange tbe remainder of the night. I con tened my hunt the next morning, and below Mr. Strange's house, sooe two and a half miles I found him in a very lame condition I found he was badly shot in ihe right fore Ie?? j'ist below the knee, and it was with some trouble thai I got him home.

The following are a few of the well-known citizens of Sumter, for whom we have ren ovated feathers, and to whom we conSdently refer: Dr. McCallum, J. E. Jervey, W. II. Yates, A. D. Ricker, Dr. A. J. China, Dr. Hugh3oo, D. Rosendorf, Mrs. L. A. Brown, E. C. Green, C. T. Mason, Jr., R. M. Wallace, L. B. Durant, . O'Donnell, C. Kingman, Col. Blandiug, A. Morris. Feathers that have beeo used over seven years should be cleaned, as they are positively unhealthy to sleep upon, while dirty. It is not too much to say that the feathers are, hs a rule, the dirtiest thing about the house, the floors on which we walk heitig cleaned regu larly, while the beds aud pillows upon which we pass, while asleep, oue-third of our time, remain nncleaned, and in most cases, after being slept upon for 20, perhaps 40, years. Our machine takes out all foul smells, gasses, moth?, dirt, etc., and we cordially invite the public in to see the work done, any day be tween 11 and 2 o'clock, at Scaffe's new store, on Main Street. ? Work of Art. A very handsome monument has just been erected at tbe Catholic Church yard in this town, in the lot of Mr. T. J. Tuomey. The monument is built according to the well known style called Cottage?the most modern and at the same time the very best known to the Art. The work was imported direct from the studios of Canard, Italy. It bas a beautiful and appropriate draped urn resting on top of it with a wreath of roses gracefully falling down the front of face of same. The monument is coped all around with the celebrated Winnsboro' granite. The work as a whole is tbe finest ever seen in this j County and reflects the highest credit on it? j architects and builders, the well-known mar- j ble and granite meo of Columbia, S. C, C. MAYHEW ? SON. ? "The Half is Not Told." Ryttenberg k Sons have taken the lead tbis Spring and they intend to sweep the field. They propose to sell their immense Spring stock at hard-pan prices. It is reputation with them now and not money, ladies. Their Spring stock is the largest, the finest and of the latest designs ever brought to this market. Erery department in their beautiful store is filled with the choicest goods. Their corps of polite and trained salesmen are now anx ious to prove this assertion to the good people of this and the neighboring Counties. And right bere let us say to the country merchnnts that they can buy all the goods they want and need from the establishment of Rytteo berg k Sons at wholesale prices. This is the only establishment, outside of Charleston that we know of, which has a res ident buyer in the City of New York ; and consequently the latest importations are re ceived weekly by Ryttenberg k Sons. One of the chief features of the establish ment Ryttenberg & Sons is the Clothing Department. Here you will find Mr. Aaron Phelps, whose smiling and intelligent face and charming manner is no less a feature of itself than the Department of which he is in charge. If he cannot suit your fastidious taste in the selection of a suit of clothes, then there is no use in trying to be suited anywhere else, young men of Sumter County. The . A The performance of the T. K. A. Society on last Thursday evening has been very much praised by those present on that occasion.

Entertainment in Music and Song. The entertainment given at the Sumter In stitute on last Thursday evening was a tri umph in music and song. So much so that the exercises of the evening seemed to have been blessed by the Goddess of these fine arts. Institute Hall was filled to its utmost seat ing capacity, and as each piece was rendered in esquisite perfection, the large and enthu siastic audience evinced their appreciation*^ the same by repeated rounds of applause, The entertainment was a grand success in fact, and unstinted praises and compliments have been bt3towed upon the principals and schol ars of the Sumter Ins itute.

McKerall has retired from the Marion Star, which is now edited by Juntus H. Evans, Esq , of the Marion Bar, with Mr. C- B. Smith as local editor. Mr. McKerall is a spirited bold writer and filled with distinc tion the editorial chair. His successor is one of the prominent lawyers of Marion, a culti vated, educated gentleman. His clear, con cise, rythmical style of composition, is seldom acquired, even among such illustrious gentle men as the South Carolina editorial brother hood. In the March Harper's Charles Dudley Warner published bis latest impressions of | Southern industrial and educational progress as gained from his recent trip with "The Harper Party" through the South. The article pleasantly supplements and confirms his paper of two years ago, noting the wonderful advances which are transforming the South into a region of great enterprise. Attractive illustrated articles on this section are special features of Harper s Wetkly and Harpers Magazine this year. The April numderof the latter periodical opens with a splendidly illustrated article on "Chatta nooga," and similar subjects will have a place in each succeeding number. - - - ?I - , - When used persistently, Salvation Oil never fails to cure rheumatism and neuralgia.

Heriot's X Roads, March 15, 1887. Mr. Editor: Now nerving myself to face ihe issue, by resorting to every legi limate device to stave off a slow dissolution, last evening I retired after a highly colored pic ture given to me of the Land of Flowers, a perfect elysian, the veritable El Dorado, be hold I fell asleep and dreamed a dream (a bona fide thing) and found myse f to my very great surprise an inmate of Heaven, but pur suing my daily avocation?tilling the soil, having invested in land, in that region of "pare delight," at the rate of 75 cents per acre. Lahor I found plentiful, a host of poor white people and "niggers," all busily en gaged in trimming trees. It is worthy of re mark, that I did not see a single one of my acquaintances who at this juncture could pro duce a $5 bill as his assets. Not a single rich man made himself visible. Please, interpret this dream. If a3 usual, a dream goes by coutrarieSj then I am in an awful plight, and my worst enemy might drop a tear upon my bier. This vision of my own, ma at least he taken as a faint ex pression of the very low state of spirits in this locality, and upon the top of all of this, the measles is rife in our midst.

Esq., is seriously thinking of purchasing property here.?Bi*hopville Enterprise. Lost Treasure Found. Long before Mrs. Stowe began to arrange or even perhaps to gather materials for the work by which her name will be forever re membered, Mrs. Horace Mann had written a tale of West Indian life in which the subject, slavery, held the foremost place, as slavery must whenever and wherever it touches human life in fiction or history. That book is now to he read ; and the world is entitled to know bow it came to be written and then withheld so long. These are the words of the author's vener able sister, Miss Elizabeth P. Peabody, ad dressed to Mr. Lothrop : "Thestory ?3 a fiction ; but the principal characters und the most important incidents are real?it was this that made the author keep back the book from publication till all were dead. "The last one who died was a child of five or six at the time. He did a deed in bis later life that lighted up the tradgedy with a moral glory that completed the hook as a work of art?the pan that touches on this was lately written. "It was the merest accident that the work was not published before my sister's death, as she so earnestly desired it should be, for it delineated some of the actual observations she made at the awakening of her miud to tbe great subject which so soon shook the whole fabric of our society, but which in 1830 was only beginning to agitate us. The Boston Mob did uot take place, I think till '35 or '6. "The book was written with no moral object in view, but, as she used to s:iy, it wrote itself on her soul, and was transcribed as a relief.' When Mrs. Mann was ready to publish, the last of the real characters having passed away, the manuscript could not be found. It had only been mislaid, however; and after her death it came to light. "Juanita, a Romance of Real Life in Cuba," is the title, f Pronounced -tchon-ee-tak] The beginuing is a festive scene in a valley of peace a little itiland in Africa. Tbe natives h?d heard of, but had never seen, the white man. The white man was to them a slaver. He came with the rattle of firearms, which were lightning and thunderbolts to the simple savages. Death, capture, ship, the lonely coast, Havana, the slaver himself, his home, family, visitors?and the tale is begun. I t shall not be told in our poor words. The book is written (the name of the dis tinguished author might stand for thai) with equal strength of mind and feeling. A slave ry tale of another country before the time of Uncle Toni s Cabin.

Legislation should be effected' in every State regulating the sale and use of the many poisons resorted to by women in their despe ration to obtain beautiful complexions, while there exists in Dr. Barter's Iron Tonic every requisite necessary to accomplish the object without injuring the health or endangering life. If the Sufferers from Consumption, Scrofula, and General Debility, will try Scott's Emulsion of Pure Cod Liver Oil with Hypophosphites, they will find immediate relief and a permanent benefit. Dr. B. H. Brodnax, Brodnax, La., says: "I gave Scott's Emulsion to Mrs. C, troubled with a very severe Brouchial affection. Added to this the birth of a child and subsequent ill ness, she was in a very bad condition. I or dered Scott's Emulsion, which she commenced taking, giving at the same time some to tbe baby, which was very poor (weight three and one-half pounds). Since taking the Emul sion, cough is gone, looks fresh, full in the face, flesh firm, good color; baby same, fat and in fine condition. The Verdict Unanimous. W. D.

An interesting letter from Mr. John W. Weeks, superintendent of. DeKalb Pauper Home : From a feeling of gratitude and a desire to benefit others, I voluntarily make this state ment. I have great reason to be thankful that I ever heard of . ., as I know what a blessing it h?s been tome. I have suffered with Bronchial Catarrh fora number of \ ears. Six months ago I was taken with severe pain in right ear, which in a few da\s began to discharge matter, with terrible and almost unbearable palpitation and all sorts of noises in my head. In ten days after the commence ment of discharge and pain in my ear I began to grow deaf and in six weeks I was so deaf that I could uot near thunder. I was then compelled to use conversation tube, and it was often that I could not hear with the tube. I then commenced taking B. B. B., and the running of my ear ceased run ning in five weeks, and can now hear without the tube. My general health has improved, palpitation ceased, and feel ?ke a new being, and appreciate the benefit I have received from B.B.B, [made in Atlanta, Ga.] with gratitude to God and thankfulness to the proprietors for such a medicine. I cheerfully recommend it to all who are afflicted with deafness and catarrh. Try it: persevere in its use and you will be convinced of its value. JOHN W. WEEKS. Superintendent DeKalb Pauper Home.
