Olsen, formerly of Charleston. Death, Mr. Thomas D. Wilder, brother of the late Josiah M. * Wilder, of Sntnter, died on July 2lst at Memphis, Tenn., where he has been living for a number of years. We have not learned any of the particulars of his death. His late employers, Messrs. Orgill & Co., tel egraphed to his family here for instructions as to the disposition of the body. It was the wish of the deceased to be buried here, but it was decided to wait until cold weather to re move the body, and instructions were sent in accordance. Mr. J. C. Revi?? lost his wife one day last week, and on the.next day his niece, who had attended Mrs. Refill during ber illness died also.?Florcnc: Times. Mrs. Sarah G. Rembert, wife of the late Col. Jas. E. Rembert, was buried at Rembergs Church last Thursday morning, the21st inst., in the presence of a large congregation. Rev. Jas. T. Kilgo, assisted by Rev. J. S. Beasley, performed the funeral rites, firs. Rembert has been failing in health for months and her decease" has been anticipated, yet her depart ure bas saddened the hearts of her bereaved children and a large circle of friends. She was in her 85th year, and more than 66 years a member of the Methodist Church. 'We copy from the Williamsburg Herald the following notice of the death of a lady known to many of our citizens. Her husband was one of the first eufemeers on the Central R. R. and his family boarded in Surater at the Branson House a long time: Wednesday, the 13th instant, Mrs. Henry DuBuose died at the residence of Mr, Sam'l J. Taylor, Greeley ville. She had come from her home at Waycross, Ga., a few days be fore, to spend a short time with relatives and friends at Greeley ville. Up to the day of ber death she seemed the picture of perfect health and snnny Ufe. Tuesday evening she com plained of a pain in ber head. She rapidly grew worse. Dr. I. N. Boyd was summoned, but medical skill was of no avail against the sadden apoplexy that soon terminated in death. Mrs. DuBose's maiden name was Bradshaw. She was a lady of many excel lent qualities, and highly esteemed by those who-knew her well. She leaves a large cir cle of friends to mourn her death. The shock to the bereaved husband, so unexpectedly called to find her a corpse, must indeed have been distressing. Her remains were taken to Charleston, where they were laid to rest in the Roman Catholic cemetery, she having bveo a member of that Church.. She left one cbud. Death comes and will come; happy they who are reftdy at its coming ! Some bail fell in Suniter during the rain and thunderstorm on last Saturday afternoon. Orange Marmalade; only 18 ceots for a large glass jar at Palace Cream Saloon. If you have a job of any kind of carpenter's work don't fail to get an estimate from J. B. Carr. Send in your orders for the Purest Ice Cream and Sherbert to Palace Cream Saloon. All orders filled promptly. A colored woman named Maria Ford, living on Mr. David Lide's place near the Clareudon County line, had a little child abont 5 years old burnt to death last week. Carr?the contractor and builder is always pleased to talk business and give any informa tion in bis line. Don't wait for him to look at yon, just hail him as he goes by. A cyclone passed over the country beyond Mayesville, on the 16th, and did some dam age. Capt. J. W. Lowry had several of his out-houses unroofed, and others in the neigh borhood suffered similar losses. Our genial and .fascinating friend, Mr. T.* M. DeLorme has taken a position with O'Donnell & Co., where he will be glad to see all of his friends and acquaintances, and wait upon them in the most agreeable and pleasant manner known to the best of sales men. See his card elsewhere. Presidenr W. H. Sadler, of the Baltimore Business College, has our thanks for a copy of the Milwaukee Sentinel containing an account of the ninth annual meeting of the Business Educator's Association of America, held in the city of Milwaukee on July 19, and which was presided over by Mr. Sadler, who also delivered the annual address. The citizens of the Lynchburg section have engaged the services of Mr. Lawrence Carson to teach the St. Luke's School this fail. We congratulate the Lynchburg people upon their good fortune in procuring the services of a graduate whose record at the Citadel Acade my is tbe very best. Mr. Carson will con tinue his law studies in connection with this vocation, and we have no doubt that the voice of our young friend will often be heard "in Trial Justice Courts in that sec tion of the country, as his victory iu a recent Trial Justice case has given him no little reputation as a pleader. We bare had tbe pleasnre of making the acquaintance of Mr. W. J. Dixon, of Marion, who is tbe master workman upon the new building of Mr. Freeland, and who is dividing bis time between Suinter and Darlington, at wbicb latter place he is building a large and fine residence for Mr. Murcbison. On a recent visit to Marion we had the op portunity of seeing several handsome resi dences of Mr. D's construction, which will compare favorably with similar bouses lobe fonnd anywhere. The house of Mr. L. C. Wheeler at Marion, is considered by many persons to be the handsomest one-story house they have ever seen. We were presented by Mr. Wheeler with a picture of it and any one interested in the matter of houses can see it by calling at tbis office. -? " i*- ???? -^f<?i Religious. Rev.

Capt. R. A. Brand informs us that the freight and passenger receipts at Sumterfor the months of May and June, 1887, are $2300 in excess of those for the months of May and June in 1886. Capt. Brand, also, informs us that tbe quantity of corn, oats and hay is less by one half this year to what it was last year ; and that the freight rates arc consider ably lower this year, and timi May and June : are the dullest months in the year at this point. 1 The Confederate Soldier. Hon. W. Z. Leitner has been it Tited by tbe survivors of Company D. to be present at their Re-union at Wilder's Lake on 10th of next month. Col.

Don't fail to visit our Paiace Cream Sa loon and store. A place of beauty and a joy forever it is indeed. So say all the ladies. Full But Not Ov?rrun. Mr. J. B. Carr, Contractor, desires every body in want of carpenter work, to know that although he is full of work, he is not running over, but is always ready to give an estimate on. work, and undertake to deliver the same at the time agreed upon. Sumter Honored. Our popular young D. D. S., George W. Dick has been invited to deliver a Clinic be fore the international Medical Association of 1837, to meet at Washington, D. C. This we take to be something of an honor, as the body is composed of representatives frotnEurope a3 well as America. Business and other engage ments, however, necessitated his declination. "Make Way." This is the motto now a? the store of Alta mont Moses, and as will be seen by reference to his advertisement he sjvs that "Summer goods must go to make way for the Fall." A little "money will go a long ways at bis store, and there is no more agreeable man in South Carolina to deal with. He also keeps a fine line of clerks?not for sale, however. If you have a job and want to see J. B. Carr, send him a postal card if you don't know where to look for him. Bargains At and Below Cost. Messrs. J. Ryttenberg & Sons advertise in to-day's paper, special bargains in certain lines of Summer goods. Those who need anything, however, will find that all their goods are being sold very low, and their ac commodating clerks will be glad to show any thing they have in the store, notwithstanding tbe bot weather. Another Contractor. We direct attention to the card of Mr. J. W. McKiever, contractor and builder, who has recently come to Sumter from Charleston, and offers his services to those in want of building and repairing. Mr. McKiever, with his brother, has been in the same line of bus iness in Charleston for some time and has had experience in all lines of work. He guaran tees satisfaction. He is stopping at tbe Jervey House. Struck by Lightning Duriug the rain and thunder storm on last Saturday afternoon one of the chimneys in the residence of Mr. C. M. Hurst was struck by lightning. The shingles around the chim ney were torn up and the fire screen which was in its place in the room below was liter-, ally shivered. Further than this no damage was done. One of the large oaks on Republican street near Main street and next Mrs. MikelTs front garden was also struck by lightning tbe same afternoon. Good News? School Commissioner Wilder has informed us that he has received a favorable repiy from the School Commissioner of Clarendon Coun ty and that a Teachers' Institute will be or ganized and established upon a permanent basis for the benefit of this and Clarendon County. The services of Prof. Samuel A. Baer have been secured and the programme will be full, practical, instructive and inter esting. Mr. Wilder says that no teacher or those expecting to become teachers can afford to lose such an opportunity. The sessions of this Teachers' Institute will last one week, | beginning the 23d of August. The Spartanburg Encampment. In his remarks to the Sumter Light Infan try yesterday, Adj. Gen. Bonham advised the company to make an effort to go, and remark ed upon several advantges to be gained from it. tie also suggested tbe probability of pro vision being made hereafter by the State for an annual encampment of the military, and, j tbis being the first one to be held, and there fore.a beginning, its success or failure would doubtless have acorrespoding effect upon such plan. The R. R. rates have been made for members cf the Company, as low as could possibly be expected?only S2 GO for the round trip between Sumter and Spartanburg. w ? ? Inspection and Prize Drill. The Sumter Light Infantry, numbering thirty-six men rank and file, were inspected at Base Ball Park on yesterday afternoon by Adjutant and Inspector General M. L. Bon bam. This excellent body of men with their i fine commanding officers presented a most handsome appearance on yesterday afternoon, and it is not at all surprising that Gen. Bonham told Capt. Wilson that his inspection of the Sumter Light Infantry was most satis factory and that he would take pleasure in so reporting to the Governor. At nine o'clock sharp the Sumter Light In fantry were marched into Music Hall where the Prize Drii! took place. Music Hall was filled with enthusiastic spectators. Squad No. 1 was taken through tbe manual of arms after which squad No. 2 had \ their turn. Thus things went until the j competitors were limited io only seven, W. A. Mcllwain, Wra. Ycadon, B. R. Sanders, W. E. Dick, H. D- Barnett, Alva Solomons, Hazel Sanders. The judges, Gen. Bonham, Capt. W. R. j Delgar, Col. D. J. Auld and Col. Marion Sanders, finally decided that W. E. Dick, FI. D. Barnett and B. R. Sanders had won the first, second and third prizes respectively. These gentlemen had the honor of having their prizes presented to them by Gen. Bon ham. After this dancing was indulged in, and thus passed offa most delightful evening. I? ' ? ? Peaches, Apples, Lemons and Frozen Mel ons at Palace Cretini Saloon. -?~mm+~ -4M??? A Pleasant Occasion. Those who attended the Picnic and Ice Cream Festival given at Graham's Church on last Friday spent a most delightful day. The good people of that section know bow to en tertain most royally and the hospitable man ner in which they treat their guests prove be yond a doubt that they are South Carolinians of the truest type. The voting for the two most popular young ! ladies on the grounds was a pleasant feature j of the occasion. All the candidates in this j race were fair and charming and their sup i porters were enthusiastic in their behalf. Af j ter considerable voting, Misses Alice and Lily ? j Brogdon wrc declared to be the two favorites, j j to whom the beautiful little prizes, a silver napkin ring and silver cup, were presented by Maj. II. Frank Wilson and I). Ander son. A fresh line of Bon Bons opened to-day at the Palace Cream Saloon. The Weather, - 6 a. M. 12 M. 6 P. M. j July 20?7G 01 80. Cloudy nnd rainy July 21?77 05 87.

Mr Editor : This whole week has been a week of much thunder and lightning in this section ; but the rain has been very slight so far; sufficiently, though, to keep the crops stimulated for the while. Some fields of corn have suffered very much more than others. The cotton has stood the drought as well as it possibly could have done. I notice that it has begun, in some places, to shed alitile. The pea crop is very flattering, both the crop that is planted with the corn and that by itself are looking good. Our boys, the Concord Club, crossed bats with the May esville team on last Thursday p. ra., which resulted in a score of 15 to in favor of the latter. At the beginning of the game our boys seemed too sanguine (some would say nervous) to be able to make ac curate throws, which threw them way behind, but after the second inning they saw that they were well matched, and it would require close maneuvering to place them up with the home club. Taking into consideration all the unavoidable defects of both sides, it was a very closely contested game. The same two clubs are to play again next Thursday after noon cpon the grounds of the Concord boys. Another close game is expected, as the Mayes villeites will do their utmost to sustain the laurels tbey have won, while the other club will do their endeavors to make them share the honors. . There will be a picnic on to-morrow, Sat urday, near the Concord . B. Park, given principally by the Association. Quite a pleas ant time is anticipated by those who expect to attend. My opinion is?from experience that it is too utterly warm for any kind of amusements usually had at such places. But the young folks want it and they must have it. Miss Annie Pringle who has been on quite an extended visit to Florida, visiting relatives, retomed home some time since, accompanied by ber cousin, Miss Annie Hickson. Miss H. will not leave for the land of flowers till win ter comes. Masters Mc. and Murrett, sons of the popu lar commercial traveler, Capf. . H. Dick, are on a visit to their grandfather, Capt. J. D. McFaddin. Very truly, 0. - ? II New Salem Items and Dots from Poor Farmer. Ionia, S. C, July 20, 1887. Mr. Editor: It has been some time since you heard from "Poor Farmer." but it has been for the want of news, and I have but lit tle yet. We bave had the hottest weather for the last week, that I think I ever felt, and crops failed the fastest that I ever knew ; but yester day evening we had a fine rain, which has changed the appearance wonderfully, and another fine shower has just passed. Crops are looking very well, and the prospect is, if we are blessed with good seasons on, that there will be good crops made generally in this neighborhood, where they have been properly worked. Mr. Lawson who has been sick for the last three weeks at Mr_ Galloway's, is still very sick. Mr. J. M. Colvin's baby died this morning after a long sickness, aged 13 months. Mr. Editor, I had occasion this morning to cross at the Avant's Crossing, on Scape O'er Swamp, and fonad what has been the matter a long time. It should have been fixed long ago; but through the neglect of our County Commissioners has been and is still neglected. The trouble is at the bridge, the abuttmeM cn both sides of which is so steep that it is al most impossible to get up on the bridge with anything like a load. Tbe neighborhood will endorse what I say. I very respectfully call attention of the Commissioners to the condition it is in, and hope that they will see that it is fixed. Ifit is not put in order by the Octo ber term of Court I would not be surprised if the Grand Jury is informed of the fact. But I hope it will be attended to soon. I reckon it has been an oversight in them, or no one Iihs called their attention to it, and it is not their business to see the roads. Yours, Poor Farmer. Corbett's Mill Items. Ionia, S. C, July" 2G, 18S7. Mr. Editor: We arc haviDg fine rains now, which, however, were, badly necessary before they came. Crops arc looking very weil con-: Sidering the scorching hot-run we have had. On the lTFth instant a heavy wind storm past through the Anlioch section, iti Kershaw county, blowing down treee and doing some damage to corn. A colored man in the same section by the name of Jack Blyther had his barn and stable struck by lightning and "burned. His horse which was in the stable was killed. At the same place two weeks ago, Mr. Jack Player's little boy, aged six years, was playing with a gun when it went off hitting his little brother in the face aud neck. The child is etili living. Mr. W. T. Lawson, a lightning rod agent is very sick at Mr. J. A. Galloway's. We arc having a little controversy bere on infant baptism, between the Methodists and Baptists We have bad two sermons preach ed, one on each side. Mr. D. G. Davis has the fine3t cotton we have seen. He has fifteen acres that will make kim from one thousand to fifteen hundred pounds to the acre. We have no pic nie, or base ball, or any thing of the kind here. J." F.

I contracted malaria in tbe swamps of Lou isiana while working for the telegraph com pany, and used every kind of medicine I could bear of without relief. I at last suc ceeded in breaking the fever, but it cost me overSlOO.OO and then my system was pros trated and saturated with malarial poison and J became almost helpless.
