The celebration of Childrens' Day took place at the Methodist Church on last Sunday j evening. The exercises of the evening were opened bj an admirable address by Mr. C. M. Horst, Jr. The subject of the address was the origin and the parp?se of the celebration of Children's Day. The rest of the pro? gramme consisted of songs and recitations by- tbs 8onday School scholars and which were most appropriate to the occasion. A. Brooks Stackey, Seq , was to have delivered an address bot was prevented from doing so on account of sickness. Grave Matter. On last Monday evening it was announced upon our streets that the body of a dead mao was lying in tbe Baptist Church yard. Im? mediately opon the reception of this informa? tion the entire police force with lanterns in hand beaded a procession of terrified citizens and proceeded to the scene where the dead body was reported to be lying. The closest kind of a search was made for the body but withoofavail. Our policemen realized that they bad been badly hoaxed upon the sugges? tion of some one present that perhaps the dead body reported to be lying in this yard was several feet under ground. The origina? tor of this huge joke cannot plume himself upon the possession of a vast amount of good judgment. The .Eclectic College. We have received an invitation, for which we return thanks, to the Commencement Exercises and T. K. A. Celebration of the Eclectic College, to take place at Music Hall on the evening of June 6th. The literary address will be delivered by Rev. Jno. 0. Wilson, of Charleston. The principals of the Eclectic College have with commendable zeal and enterprise estab? lished this Institution upon a solid basis with? in the short period of nine months. It is no longer an experiment, but a grand success. Tbe known ability and long experience of Miss Mary Girardeao as a teacher is of itself a sufficient guarantee of the stability and character of the Eclectic College. The .fashionable Event of the Sea son-Marriage of Dr. G. W. Dick j and Miss Carrie Hutchinson.

Di? rectly over the altar hung the splendid pink bell used at the Shiver-Gonzales wedding in Columbia. A new and beautiful feature was a little boy standing upon the organ, attired as Cupid, the God of Love, with his bow in bis hand. "The bride is one of Rock Hill's fairest and most deservedly popular young ladies. The groom is a yoong and popular dentist of Sumter. The many handsome bridesmaids who formed au unbroken line of beauty while the ceremony was being performed were dressed in pink and blue. The bride wore a white silk.

Picnics and Farms. CONCORD, S. C., May 23, 1887. Mr. Editor: Of ali the pleasures enjoyed by the young folks of this section, the great? est are the annual picnics given al: Atkins' Spring, which is situated on the West banks of Black River near Scape O'er Crossing. This Spring is surrounded by a forest of beautiful spreading trees, the foliage of which almost exclude the sun's rays at this season of the year. The picturesqueness of this lovely spot was brightened on last Saturday by the presence of gay and merry picknickers, who seemed determined to make the occasion one of unalloyed pleasure. Love-making was the order of the day, and happy indeed were the hearts of the maiden picknickers. At a late hour in the afternoon a 'majority of us adjourned to the residence of Mr. W. J. Du Rant, rubere we enjoyed Mr. D's hospi? tality and sweet music for some hours. This was undoubtedly one of the pleasantest pic? nics I have ever attended. The crops in this section are very good. All the farmers* say their crops are consider? ably farther advanced than what they were at this time last year." " County Commissioners, DuRant and Baker were at Scape O'er Crossing on last Saturday for the purpose of letting out to the lowest bidder the contract of extending the bridge of the main stream fifteen feet farther on the Eastern aide. Mr. W. J. DuRant, the lowest bidder, contracted to do the work for twenty six dollars OBSERVER. Smithville Items. SMITHVILLE, S. C., May 18, 1887. Mr. Editor: The recent rains have helped things generally. Early oats are safe and late ones are looking well. Corn is not large but looks healthy. The farmers are gener? ally up with their work. Dysentery prevails to a large extent. Sev? eral fatal eases among the negroes. Mr. J.' D. Evanshasacbild very-low with it at this time. Others are down with it with not much hope of recovering. Capt. B. F. Rbame is not as well at this time as bis friends would like to see kim. Miss Lissie Harrison, of Ridgeway, S. C., is visiting her auot, Mrs. J. E. Du Pre. Mrs. W. F. Rhame, of Sumter, who has been spending some time with ber brother's family, bas returned home. She is looking well. . Mr. W. F. Rhame and his son", Bryant spent a short time in the neighborhood re? cently. Both seem in good health. David Brown, a yoncg white man, who lives on Capt. J.H. McLeod's place acciden? tally shot himself through the hand a few days ago. We have two private schools in operation. One at Pisgah Church, taught by Miss Alice Allen, the other by Miss Emma Colclough. Mr. J. E. McLeod, who is reading medicine under Dr. C. S. Britton, is already of great, assistance to Dr. Britton in bis large practice. Several horses have died here recently from various ca uses. . Qui VIVE. Clarendon Items. [From the Manning Times, May 25.] : Mrs. H. A. Lowry and her sister, Miss S tan? dil, have gone to Sumter to spend some time with relatives. Mr. James Henry Harvin, son of Mr. M. L. Harvin, who left Clarendon several years ago to live in Texas, died on the 6th of May at Hearne in that State. This is sad news to a number of relatives and friends of Mr. Harvin in this County. Mr. E. 0. Ingram, has gone to West Point, to be in readiness for the introductory exam? ination for admission into the fourth class of the Academy. If he passes successfully this examination, bis footing at West Point is se? cured. . Governor Richardson has appointed Messrs. C.S.Land and L. H. DesCbamps delegates from Clarendon to the Inter-State Convention of Farmers to be held at Atlanta,. Ga., on the H?th of August next. A Negro Excursion to .Sumter. About two hundred and fifty negroes and several white women came to Sumter on the the excursion given by the Knights of Wise Men of Colombia on last Monday. From all accounts a large part of the crowd must have been roughs of the first water, and who eonld hold their own as such in any part of the un? civilized world. Many of this delectable set rendezvoused at the ball over Zack Walker's Bar and devoted the most of their time in trip? ping the light fantastic toe after the moat ap-, proved style of a negro fandango. The men, and especially the women, vied with each: other io their efforts to throw the lower limbs high without coming to the floor in the performance of the act. We are informed that Walker'8 Hall presented a scene on last: Monday that almost beggars description. A* pandemonium in foll blast. What a com? mentary upon the good ci ti tens who signed Walker's petition in order that he be granted a license to retail spirituous liquors in Sum? ter. \ One of the excursionists, a drunken, ob? streperous negro woman was arrested on Main street and taken to the guardhouse. As the excursion train started off from the depot on the return in the evening, one of the excursionists drew a pistol ?nd fired several shots from one of the car windows. Henry Richardson, colored, who was at the depot and near the excursion train, received a flesh wound in the right thigh from one of these shots. We clip the following from the Columbia Retord, May 24 : The excursion of the Knights of Wise Men returned from Sumter last night at a late hour. The conduct of some of the excursion? ists is said to have been of the worst sort, and several times came near causing serious trouble. On the.retnrn trip several rowdies made themselves quite obnoxious to the mana? gers of the excursion and those io their charge, and when near Columbia their conduct became such as to require a. threat to ditch them. A general fight was.in progress at one time and might have ended seriously bad it not been for the efforts of peacemakers. While at? tempting to preserve the peace, C. D. Lowndes, the manager in chief, was badly used up, and several others more or less injured. Those who were agressors in the disturbance were Sollie Bryan, Robert Bynum, Carolina Fergu? son and Henry Mitchell. Bryan was arrested on the arrival of the train in Columbia and was before tbe Major this morning charged with disorderly conduct. As the difficulty occurred outside the city limits he was sent over to Trial Justice Mar? shall to be disposed of. After hearing a state? ment of the case a warrant for riot was issued against Bryah and he was bound over for a hearing at 10 o'clock to-morrow morning. Warrants were also issued fur the arrest of the other parties under the same charge and they will also have a hearing to-morrow morning. ?ia? ? i - O'Connor's Patent Bread cannot be excell? ed. A new baker on deck A few days ago a farmer in Sumter County near town, was congratulated on having such fine healthy children.

OXFORD S TBE RT, BROOKLYN, \ March S th, 1887. j Commissioner Smith, Dear Sir: I take this opportunity of congratulating the Salvation Army upon the success of their work in this country, England, and everywhere. They are doing a work that no other organization can do. I have great admiration for the cour? age, efficiency, and consecration of General Booth. It makes bat little difference whether the world and the church like or dislike the Salvation Army. It is evident that the Lord approves it-witness the multitudes of tts cou? verts ; the sinful reclaimed, the degraded ele? vated, the drunkard reformed, and the ever widening influence for good plainly seen by all those whose eyes have not been closed by bigotry, prejudice and sin. The combined forces of earth and hell cannot hinder your Evangelical movement. Yours, Ac, T. DEWITT TALKAGB, Pastor Brooklyn Tabernacle. - - ? ? i jpB???

At intervals of about one week I would be attacked .with spells of. severe and most excruciating pain, always commencing in the region of my kidneys. The pain would then go upwards and affect my body and head, and seemed to penetrate my very eye-balls, creating the most intense suffering, lasting about eight hours each spell. I resorted to all kinds of medicine without benefit. Several doctors treated my case, but none gave relief. I finally used B. B. B. as an experiment, and to ray utter astonishment all pain and suffering vanished after using three doses. To the present time I have used three botrles, and not a pain has ever return? ed. I do not know what was the matter, neither could my phj*sician name the com? plaint. The B. B. B. acted finely and power? fully upon my kidneys ; ray appetite has been splendid ana my constitution built up rap? idly, it. THOM S. Constitution, <Ja., May 6, 1886. Unimpeached Integrity. I nm 55.
