Mr. Witherspoon is doing good work on the JSnterprise which is always newsy, bright and attractive. I Walter I Harby was appointed by Gov.

Stubbs who is an experienced cotton buyer says that Mr. John W. Smith of this County makes as fine cotton as is pro? duced in the Stitts.

The public will take notice that be bas the goods they want and his prices cannot fail to suit. It is very gratifying to hear of our citizens being praised on ai! sides.

Beasley, and for nearly eight years a member of the family of Rev. J. S. Beasley, after a long and painful illness, quietly passed away on last Thursday morning at a quarter before seven o'clock. Up to the ?rst of April last her health was perfect, and there seemed to be as good promise of long life as any of us enjoy, but alas ! how deceptive are all earthly hopes. Just in the bloom of life, having a few days before passed her twenty-first birth? day, she was called away. She was a good and noble woman. Genuinely converted a few years ago, while at the Columbia Female College, her life has ever been one of beauti? ful consistency. Attractive in person, amia? ble in disposition, gentle in manners, she made friends of all with whom she came in contact, and drew those who knew her well very closely to her. The news of her untimely death will carry sadness to many hearts. She rests peacefully in the cemetery here, and ; lives still in the memory of these who loved her so well. A precious one from us has gone, A voice we loved is stilled, A place is vacant in oar home, Which never can be filled. God in his wisdom has recalled The boon bis love bad given, And though the body moulder here, The soul is safe in heaven. The friends and acquantances of H. J. Haynswortb, Esq., will deeply regret to learn of tbe death of his lovely young wife, which occured in Greenville on last Saturday. Mr. Editor : I would do violence to an al? most irrepressible emotion of roy heart did I not in this way, gratefully acknowledge the many and delicate acts of kindness, shown cs by friends in Sumter, in the deep and repeat? ed sorrows, which have come to our home. Coming, comparative strangers to your town a few months ??o, and coming toan experi? ence of affliction, such as we have never be? fore had, the people have endeared themselves to us in a way we have no words to express. Dear friends, one and all, accept the sincere thanks of warm, appreciative hearts. J. S. BEASLEY . SUMTER, S. C., Sept. 16, 1387. Hot Supper.

Last week we published an item in regard to the amount of cotton picked by Mr. Brown? field from his field in 3? days-being an av? erage of near 500 lbs. per acre, from 42 acres. We have since received a card from him dated Sept. 16tb, as follows: "The total picking of cotton from my field of.42 acres, up to yesterday afternoon, when interrupted by rain, is 32,355 lbs. Only half of the 42 acres picked over this week up to yesterday afternoon, and probably 5,000 lb3. is onen on the other half. Sumter Library Association. At the las' meeting of this body it was re? solved to give an entertainment at Music Hall on Thursday evening, Oct. 20th, for the ben? efit of the Library fund. At regular intervalo during the evening, music, recitations, tableaux, scene acting, clog-dancing and other such attractions will be given, making the entertainment a most attractive one. Re? freshments will be sold also. The entrance fee will be only 25 cents. The very best "artists" in Sumter will present their specialities on this occasion, and the entire "show" will be well worth seeing. We hope all our people will attend. Altamont Moses. Altamont Moses is a representative man in every sense of the word. In the political arena he is the peer of any of our many shrewd and far-seeing politicians in the State. In fact he is not only a man of fore? sight but of insight, and the lustre of these qualities of his are jost as conspicuous in the management of his commercial affairs as they are in the manipulation of the affairs of the State. In substantiation of all this we will point yon to his well conducted establish? ment which is always filled with a most ex? cellently assorted stock of goods, in the se? lection of which the needs of all classes are always considered. See his new advertise? ment in this issue. Religious. Rev. N. W. Edmunds, will preach at Tirzah Church on next Saturday and Sunday at ll o'clock, A. M. The Presbyterian Church in Sumter will probably be closed on next Sunday owing to the absence of the pastor. Notice will be given by the ringing of the bell if arrange? ments should be made for preaching. Sunday after next will be the regular com? munion season in the Ptesbyterian Church. - - - Waiter Drill. The young ladies of the Episcopal Sunday School, assisted by their friends, will give a Waiter Drill at Music Hall, on Wednesday evening, October 12. It is their intention to challenge a squad of the Sumter Light Infan? try to meet and compete in the drill, with parasols or any other weapon they may think best to select. There will also be light refreshments served on the evening of the drill. Already, under the tuition of an old "ex Confed." officer, the young ladies have learn? ed the first principles of the Behool of the sol? dier, (?) and are preparing to give the boys a hard contest. This will certainly be a unique form of entertainment, different from any? thing ever seen in Sumter, and we. bespeak for it a large and ^enercus patronage. - i i %mm - In every community the:e are a number of mea whose whole time is not occupied, such as teachers, ministers, farmer's sons, and others. To these classes especially we would 3aJj if you wish to make several hundred dollars during the next few months, write at once to B. F.

Now, why does it bring more here than it does in Charleston ? The News and Courier correspondent of Sum? ter answers that question in his communica? tion of the 14tb, wheo he says toe farmers sell the cotton to the merchants with the under? standing that a part if not the whole value of the cotton is to be traded out with the buyer, and if this contract is carried out in good faith, the merchant must charge an additional profit to that which he would sell for cash to cover the probable loss on the cotton, &c. Now we handle no cotton. We Buy and Sell For Cash, and we have no cotton losses staring us in the face, therefore one need have no fear of our charging an additional profit. fe Guarantee F?ll Weights to AIL And money refunded if goods do not come up to recommendation.
