Tho New Methodist Church.
A question frequently asked is : When will
the nsw Methodist Church be finished? We
pr eso me that those in charge are making some
.fort in that direction, but as the progress is
slow, they must make due allowance for the
inquisitiveness of the public, if they so regard
the interest that all our citizens feel in the
completion of a building that will add so
mach to the appearance of the town.
The Canal.
The work of connecting the sections and
catting down to the grade pegs is still pro?
gressing with a small force of hands, and we

The 65th Annual Ball.
We are indebted to the Committee for an in?
vitation to the 65th Annual Ball to be given
by the students of the South Carolina College
to the Class of '87 in the Library Building on
Wednesday evening, June 22d.
The following named gentlemen composed
the two committees :
Senior Committee-Gov. J. P. Richardson,
Judge ?. D. Witherspoon, Mr. E. H. Frost,
Andrew Crawford, Esq., Hon. W. H. Perry,
Hon. Samuel Dibble, Col. J. B. EzeU, Hon.
L. W. Youmans, Hon. C. J. C. Hutson.
Junior Committee-F. H. Weston, Chair?
man, P. H. Gadsden, F. H. McMaster, R. S
Waring, W. A. Barber, W. M. Hamer, A. W.
Parker, T. S- Bratton, R. H. Pearce.
Base Ball.
Arrangements have been made for a first
class game of ball between the Charleston and
Sumter Kines and they will cross bats at Base
Ball Park on the 8th of this month. Manager
T. M. Monaghan has engaged a profession?
al battery for that occasion and there is every
reason to believe that the game will be worth
witnessing.
Manager Monaghan received a telegram to?
day from Mr. T. M. Emerson, in which he
states that from all points between Marion
and Colombia on the 8th of this month tick?
ets can be bought at reduced rates. Mr.
Monaghan also informed us that a petition is
being circulated, asking the merchants to
close their stores at 4 o'clock on the afternoon
of the 8th instant.
Water Works.
The situation, so far a3 we have been able
to learn, remains unchanged. Under the
terms of the ordinance passed by Council, the
analysis of the Green Swamp Water breaks
up the arrangement making that the source of
supply, and we have heard nothing as yet of
any other move.
A meeting of citizens of the town of Dar?
lington has requested an election to be held to
decide upon issuing bonds for the purpose of
boring an artesian welt, and making other
improvements, and in the proceedings of the
meeting it was stated that opinions had been
obtained from scientific authorities that a well
six or eight hundred feet would answer-the
cost of which it was also stated would be
about $2 per foot in addition to the cost of
piping.
Would it not be well for our citizens, also,
to investigate the feasibility, &c , of aa ar?
tesian well for Sumter.
The Wednesday Club.
The Wednesday Club met at the residence
of Mrs. Mikel! on last Wednesday evening.
Miss Carrie Moses read a delightful sketch of
Oliver Goldsmith, the-author chosen for the
evening. Selections from his writings were
read by Miss Claude M. Gtrardeau and Miss
Janie Mikell. The action of the club ia de?
ciding to discontinue the meetings during the
summer was reconsidered, and it was deter?
mined to continue them indefinitely. John
Keats was selected as the author for discussion
at the next meeting which will be held at the
residence of Mr. Perry Moses on the 8th
proximo. The following is the programme
fortbat date: I. Sketch of Keats, Rev. John
Kershaw. II. Generel discussion by the
club. III. First selection from Keats' works,

Pic Nie at Law's Mill.
MAYESVILLE, S. C., May 30, 188?.
Mr. Editor : Last Saturday found me at
Law's Mill. There was a big picnic there,
and I was right among the beautiful ladies
and girls, with whom I had pleasure no little,
let me tell you. It was another instance of I
came, I saw, I conquered. The gallant young
beaux were very jealous of me on that day
and tried to outdo me, but I got there all
the same, and don't you forget,
Capt. Henry Wells, who was at the head of
the helm of affairs on last Saturday, made the
occasion one of genuine pleasure)to all present.
All of the crops that I saw on the road from
Mayesville to Law's Mill were very good in?
deed, except a little patch of corn near a
"nigger," church and that was poor, mighty
poor. Yours truly, DUGGAN.
Mt. Zion vs. Mayesville.
S?J?TEB, S. C., May 31, 1887,
Mr. Editor: Last Friday I was over at
Mayesville, in attendance upon the Sunday
School Picnic, given at that place, which
passed off most pleasantly.
In the afternoon about 4 P. M., most of the
picnickers adjourned to the town to witness a
game of base ball between Mt. Zion and Mayes?
ville. When I reached the field of combat
the game had already commenced, and judg?
ing from the size of the opposing team, my
conviction was that Mayesville would certain?
ly be vanquished by quite a majority, for the
Mayesville team was scarcely anything more
than children, with but one or two exceptions.
It soon became apparent, however, that al?
though young, the Mayesville team knew how
to play against their opponents, who bad ad?
vantage of superior strength.
When the game ended the score stood 39 to
47 in favor of Mayesville.
Yours, SPECTATOR.
The Bose Hill Pic Wie.
MAKNTILLE, May 30, 1887.
Mr. Editor: The picnic given on last
Thursday at the Messrs. Ryttenberg's plan?
tation, known as Rose Hill, was a most en?
joyable affair. The success of this entertain?
ment and the enjoyment it afforded all pres?
ent is due to the manner in which it was con?
ducted by the energetic and popular young
gentlemen who composed the committee on
arrangement. Dancing, feasting and love?
making was the order of the day, and as a
matter of course the girls were happy.
The committee bad asked several gentlemen
to speak on this occasion, but the most of
them were unfortunately prevented from at?
tending on account of pressure of business at
home. The toast, "Cur State," was happily
and handsomely responded to by our genial
and popular representative, H. 6. Shaw.
The day was so delightfully spent that I in?
voluntarily fell to dreaming and the follow
lowing lines came back to my memory :
"Ah me 1 my friends, it will not, will not
last,
This fairy scene that cheats our youthful
eyes,
The charm dissolves, the aerial music's past
The banquet ceases and the vision flies."
The oat crop is fifty per cent, better than
what it was a month ago, hut unfortunately
very little of it was planted in this section.
The cotton crop is in fine health and is clean
and well plowed. The corn crop is as good
as we have ever had.
Yours truly, A.
P. S. The only thing we have heard from
since the pic nie is the ever-present red-bug.
It is true to its nature and never humbugs a
fellow in the least bit.

We the undersigned merchants of the town
of Sumter, have agreed to close our stores

Hymen in Church.
Monday evening, the 23d, Dr. J. L. Bass
and M ie3 Emma V. Lucas were married in the
Methodist Church here, Rev. B. J. Guess, as?
sisted by Rev. T. P. Lide, officiating.
The Church was beautifully decorated for
the occasion, the evergreens and flowers used
beiog8imply but tastily and elegantly ar?
ranged. The audience, which was large, be?
gan to gather some time before the appointed
hour, and continued to arrive until the
Church's seating space was nearly all taken.
The bridal party were somewhat delayed,
but a subdued whisper after a while an?
nounced their approach, and the wedding
march instantly began pealing forth from the
organ. The party walked down the two
aisles of the Church to the altar in order as
follows:
Dr. B. Rutledge, of Florence and Miss
Faunie Lowry, of Mayesville; Dr. W. Y.
Brock in ton, of Ki ogs tree and Miss AfEe Epps
of Williamsburg; Mr. George Lawrence of
Efiiogbman and Miss Sadie Mciver of Mayes?
ville, Mr. R. A. Bass of Marion and Miss
Janie Steele of Kiogstree ; Mr. J. E. Coxe of
Marlboro and Miss Nina Howell, of Florence.
The bride and groom then came down the
right aisle of the Church to the altar, where
by the impressive ceremony of the Methodist
Church they were made one.- Williamsburg
Record, May 20.
Eutawville Eailroad.
The special correspondent of tbe News and
Courier at this place, under date of May 30,
says :
Despite the assurance of the authorities and
the apparent preparations tor its extension, a
large number of people in Sumter seem to be
of the opinion that thc Eutawville Railroad is
not coming he*e. Talk, which was so rife on
the subject a few weeks ago, has about died
out, and it is reported that no work is being
done at present on the road at the ban tee River.
Since the directors of the road at onetime
gave our people such flattering assurances on
thc subject, it is certainly due Sumter now
that they shall give us some intimation about
the matter.
The following letter to Mr. Altamont Moses,
written as the date shows, some five days be?
fore the above, and which we copy by his
permission, contains some "intimations" as
well as "flattering assurance :"
EUTAWVILLK R. II. Co. OF S. C., V
EUTAWVILLK, S. C., May 25, 1887./
Hon. Altamont Motes, Sumter, S. C., Dear
Sir : Your favor of the 21st instant readied
me in due season. In reply I beg to say that
I have about 150 hands at work grading from
Vanees to Santee River. I have not done any?
thing on the bridge yet, except making plans
and specifications. President Barkley and
myself expect to visit Sumter before many
days, and we will then talk with you fully.
If the Atlantic Coast Line has bought us
off, I am as yet ignorant of the fact. Neither
does the President know anything about it.
Yours very truly, I. W. FOWLER,
General Manager.

OBITUARY.
Died at Sumter, S. C., May 22, 1887, after
a lingering illness, Martha Wright Thomas,
beloved wife of Thomas M. DeLorme, only
daughter of the late Wm B. Thomas, and
grand daughter of William and Anne Fau
quier of Virginia.
Mrs. DeLorme during a protracted illness
extending over a period of nine months, suf?
fered far more than is usual, and with more
than ordinary fortitude and patience. Ten?
derly cared for by husband, children and
many friends, who did all they could to help
and soothe, she gradually grew weaker un?
til she succumbed at last to the fatal disease
that had sapped the springs of life. By God's
mercy her passing away was painless. She
retained her consciousness to the last and to
her pastor she gave the comforting assurance
of peace with God and man, and of abiding
trust that God would "take her to Bis blessed
home." As she drew nearer and nearer to
Death, that last enemy seemed to lose
whatever of terror he bad once held for
ber, and she even prayed that as tlae servant
of Christ, he might be sent to bear ber to His
arms.
As a wife and mother, Mrs. DeLorme tried 1
to do her whole duty. How she succeeded,
let the loving tears of husband and children
tell. As a friend, especially to the sick, the
grateful hearts of many who have; received
her tender ministrations are glad to testify.
She may, in full assurance of faith lay claim
to the Saviour's word "Inasmuch as ye have
done it unto one of the least of these, my
brethren, ye have done it nnto me." Jn
view of her great sufferings, no one could
wish ber back, but those to whom she was
nearest and dearest may comfort themselves
with the knowledge that it is well with ber
now, and they may strive so to live that
when their hour cometh, they moy, like her,
be ready for the call. K.
The Sumter papers announce the death of
Mrs. Murritt DeLorme, which occurred on
Sunday last. Charlestonians, who lived in
Sumter during the war, will remember her
as Miss Mattie Thomas, a bright, interesting
little Virginia refugee, who soon endeared
herself to the people of the town. She was
the true type of the patriotic southern girl,
and ber winsome smiles and words of en?
couragement were incentives which sent many
a young man to the war. She was a general
favorite and after the war married Lieut.
Murritt DeLorme, a gallant officer of the Con?
federacy, who served in the army of Northern
Virginia until its surrender, and who to-day
bears the scars of battle upon his; person.
She was an affectionate wife, a devoted
mother, and a noble woman. May her gentle
spirit find peace and rest io the ,paradise of
God.- Charleston Dispatch.

ONE LIVED, THE OTHER DIED.
A woman formerly our slave is now our
cook. About eighteen months ago she
became sickly and bad a cough and was con?
fined to bed, and it was thought that she
bad consumption. The treatment by physi?
cians failed to give relief. In December,
1884, a node er knot the size of a goose egg
formed just above the pit of the stomach,
which when lanced discharged matter for 8
ar 9 months. One of these also formed under
her arm, and three on her back, which dis?
charged matter for a considerable time. For
lix months of this time she was confined to
the house, and most of the time ia bed. The
stomach often refused food, by rejecting what
?he had eaten. She used a great deal of med?
icine, but failed to be cured. I bought one
bottle of your B. B. B. (made tn. Atlanta,
Ca.,) and gave it to her and she commenced
to improve. I then bought and gave ber
three bottles mere, and she continued to im?
prove and in two months' time her cough
had ceased, her constitution strengthened,
appetite and digestion good, all discharges
ceased, nodes or knots disappeared and she
went to work apparently healthy and fatten?
ed up greatly. t
This woman bad a married stater of near
same age who was affected in precisely the
same way and about the same time. She bad
node or knot on pit of stomach, back, etc.
She did not take any B. B. B. and the node
on ber stomach ate through to the cavity.
She continued on the decline and wasted
away, and finally died.
These were two terrible cases of blood
poison-one used B. B. B. and was speedily
cured-the other did not use it and died. It
is most assuredly a most wonderful blood
purifier. I refer to merchants of this town.
Yours truly, W. T. ROBINSON.
Tishabee, Ala., May 1, 1886,
A Sheriff Released.
For a period of sixteen years I have been
afflicted with catarrh of the head which baf?
fled the use of all medicines used. Seeing
the advertisement of B. B. B., I purchased
sud used six or seven bottles, and although
used irregularly have recieved great relief,
and recommend it as a good blood purifier.
