The Hot Supper given at the residence of Hr. T. Scott DuBose in the Swimming Pens Township last night was largely attended and ! was a grand success in every respect. We regret exceedingly that the pressure of busi? ness prevented as from attending and partici? pating io the pleasures of the evening. The publication in this issue of the "Ordi? nance to Raise Supplies fer the Town of Sumter," was prevented by the same being banded in too late to-day for insertion. In the meaatime we will state for the edification of tax-payers that during the month of November they must dance to the tune of 50 cents on the value of each $100 of Ee&I Estate, and on Personal Property ditto.

It has just been re-occupied, J and will 8OO0 be decked out with a full line j of new goods for which Miss Jane McEihose recently went North. We are glad to report I that the health of Miss Rachel is a great deal better and that she is expected in Sumter soon.

He will always be happily remembered by us in the following incident related tous by one of our Summerton friends : The Governor : Hajos Saoders, let me introduce you to Presi? dent Cleveland.

The remains of the deceased were consigned to their last resting place in tbe Jewish Cem? etery on last Sunday morning. Our heart? felt sympathies are extended to the parents of this departed little angel. Dr. E. M. Burch died on last Sunday after? noon. Dr Burch was an old resident of Sumter and well known to many of the citi? zens of this County. He was modest and re? tiring in his manners and esteemed by all who knew him for his gentleness and other qualities The funeral services took place at the Sumter Cemetery on last Monday after? noon, after which the remains were quietly laid away to rest. His family have our ten? derest condolence in their affliction. The death of Mr. H. A. James, of Bishop ville, which occurred on last Wednesday and of which we only had time to make a simple announcement-as the news reached us after our form was ready for press-is a heavy blow to hts many friends in this and adjoin? ing Counties. The community in which he lived and the County has lost a good citizen. Married. By the Rev. John Kershaw, at the Church of the Holy Cross, Stateburg, S C., at 12? o'clock to-day, Mark Reynolds, Esq., of the Columbia Bar, to Miss Elizabeth Waties, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. W. W. Ander? son, Sr. Religious. The Rev. Dr. Hersman of the Columbia Theological Seminary preached at the Pres? byterian Church on last Saturday and Sun? day mornings, and lectured on Sunday night. His efforts on these occasions were profound, eloquent and didactic, and of a character that not only commanded but held the attention of all who were present. The Rev. Dr. Spinney of Iowa, who is trav? eling South for his health, preached an able and interesting sermon at the Baptist Church oa last Sunday morning. Fire. Mr. A. F. Bird's gin house, containing about two and a half bales of cotton was de? stroyed by fire at Wells' X Roads last night. Mr. Joseph Barnett, also, lost four bales of cotton which were near the gin house at the time of its destruction. A Low Cut. Ryttenberg & Sons have a wonderful an? nouncement in this week's issue. They pro? pose to give away almost certain artices on certain day3 for the purpose of showing their customers how much and in what way they will evince their appreciation of their patron? age in the past. The low cut prices on their goods are simply marvelous and wili no doubt astonish the natives no little. See adver? tisement. mm . . ? - ?Bi Grand and Novel. The Waiter Drill which will take place at Music Hall on next Wednesday evening will undoubtedly be the thing of the season. Capt. W. R. Delgar will be the commanding officer on that occasion, and he says that his company of lovely young ladies will compare with any company in the TJuited States, and that the Sham Battle which is to occur in Atlanta soon and which is to beconducted by President Cleveland, will be nothing in com? parison with what our citizens will witness at the Waiter Drill on next Wednesday even? ing. A Narrow Escape. On last Monday morning, Mr. Welborn J. Andrews of the Bethel neighborhood, made a narrow escape from having bis barn, and per? haps stable and horses, burnt up. About 3 o'clock one of bis children being taken sick got up, and on going to a window discovered that the barn v.as on fire. The neighbors came promptly to Mr. Andrews' assistance, and the fire was put out before any serious damage was done. The fire had started in a pile of shucks several feet deep, had burned down through the floor when it was discov? ered, and had it been a few minutes later would have been beyond control. The origin of the fire is not known, but Mr. Andrews thinks it may have been .?tarted by rats with a match, as it was iustoe the house and several feet from the wall. He does not want to think that it is was the act of an incendiary. People cannot be too watchful in regard to the handling of the matches by those who go about their premises. - -B ll wi R. W. Durant & Son. Sumter can boast of several of her business houses that make a specialty in the many and different lines of merchandise but there is none that she feels prouder .of and to which she can point the citizens of this county with more satisfaction than to the first-class hard? ware store of R. W. Durant & Son. Every? thing that pertains to the hardware line can be found at this establishment which is now filled from top to bottom with a large and new stock and which can be bought at hard panprices. R. W. Durant & Son have made the hardware business a specialty. They buy largely and consequently to a great advantage and they propose to give their customers the benefit they are thus able to make in the pur? chase of their stock of hardware. Every ar? ticle in their establishment is just what it is represented to be. The full worth of your dollar can always be had here. The lofty character of these gentlemen for fair dealing with their fellow-men is a guarantee of itself to the citizens of this County that R. W. Durant & Son is tbe place to go to buy your hardware. See their new advertisement. --- Sumter High School. For reasons satisfactory to my associate and myself I have withdrawn from the Sumter High School. I do this without any preju? dice to the interests of the school, and I hope it may prosper under its present management. Wbiie thanking my patrons for their kind? ness in the past, I bespeak their con tin ned patronage for Mr. McIntosh, whom I can heartily recommend as a thoroughly compe? tent instructor and one well worthy of their confidence in every respect. LEONARD W. DICK. ANNOUNCES! EXT. Upon the withdrawal of Mr. Dick, I have taken charge of the sumter High School, and i will continue it on the same terras as before. I regret that the schcol must lose the assist- j ance of Mr. Dick as a Teacher, but I shall use I every effort to make it none the less worthy i of patronage. My whole time and attention j will be given to the work of building up a j good male school in Sumter. I appreciate the j kindness shown by the generous patronage of j the people during the year in which 1 have j been connected with the school, and I shall ? try to make it to their advantage to continue | that patronage. While this is in some res-! pects a private enterprise, it is. at the same! time, one in which ali must feel an interest, j and one which cannot succeed unless that in? terest is manifested by encouragement and support. Every school must depend at first upon local patronage, before it can expect to be recognized ar?road. Any Information in regard to the school will be given on appl?cat;on. A. C. MCINTOSH.

D?GGAX. (From Mnnning Times.) Military Inspection. The military, review, inspection, and parade of the military companies of the county was an occasion to be remembered ia Manning. Early in the day, horsemen in the State regu? lation uniform began coming into town, and by twelve the streets were crowded with these gallant gentlemen. They made the largest military gathering ever assembled in onr town, and to add to the interest and attrac? tiveness of the day, the Sumter colored brass band were employed to be present to furnish the Military music. This they did well and to the satisfaction of all. About three o'clock the companies assem? bled on the square of the court house to be inspected by the Adjutant-General. The Connor Mounted Riflemen numbered 30 men, the Hampton Light Dragoons 35, and the Manning Guards 42. To the tune of a spir? ited air from the band, Gen. Bonham and his staff, Maj. D. B. Anderson and Lieutenant DesChamps appeared on the square on richly caparisoned horses, the admiration of all parties. The inspection took place immedi? ately and was very creditable indeed to the Clarendon military. At its conclusion, Gen. Bonham made a brief address to the compa? nies. He spoke of the increased interest aroused among the people for the military, and expressed his determination to use every effort to influeuce the Legislature to make a large appropriation for the military fund. The General was very much pleased with the appearance of our companies and flattered them by referring to the complimentary re? port he would make of them to Clarendon's Governor Richnrdson. Maj. Anderson being called upon for a speech gracefully responded in his usual happy style. His appropriate remarks were received with applause. OBSERVATIONS. Captain Briggs, of the Rifles, Captain Rrailsford, of the Dragoons, aud Captain Levi, of the Guards, won the hearty congrat? ulations of the large crowd for the skillful management of their respective commands. Master Lucian Brailsford, on a magnificent lookiog three year old colt, the property of the Captain of the Dragoons, was the knight Hest looking knight of all the mounted cav? alrymen. He completely won the smiles of alt the lovely ladies. Mr. W. E. Davis, of the Riflemen, exhibited marvelous horsemanship in his management of a spirited fiery horse. The animal made vicious attempts to unseat him, but to no purpose. After the inspection the Guards gave a dress parade before General Bonham, which he pronounced faultless. This command is determined to sustain the enviable reputation made for itself at the Spartan burg Encamp? ment. Although one of the youngest, the Guards rank among the first companies of the State. S. Wolkoviskie, of the palace saloon, thoughtfully, and very generously, furnished gratuitously, iced lemonade for the men while undergoing inspection. He has the unanimous thanks of all who enjoyed his bounty. The people of Dawson, Ga., are almost par? alyzed with fear at the nightly appearance of an unearthly lookiog creature which behaves pretty much in the same manner as did the Providence ghost of this County several months ago. Strange to say all of these bob goblins come in the form of woman. These weird creatures are of the feminine gender, and the men are not in the least jealous of the monopoly either. - -^m^^ According to bis own confession the Rev? erend Sam Small must have been the very cream of ali corruption and rascality. He says: "I belonged to the Democratic party. 1 worked for it ; spent money for it ; drank whisky for it and lied for it. I -have stolen ballot boxes for it ; I have stuffed ballot boxes for it ; I did all it told me to do, and it took me within half a mile of hell." Health and Beauty. A few days ago a farmer in Sumter County near town; was congratulated on having such fine healthy children. He replied that ever since he has been using O'Connor's Patent Bread and Cinnamon Rolls, he has seen the improvement himseif. So we advise every one iu Sumter County and town to try them. - i? -mmm~ A Good Watch for 82.50. C. I. Hoyt & Bro. have just received a lot of new watches, excellent time-keepers, which thev are selling at $2.50 each. They also have a full stock of all other goods in their line which they will be pleased to show. Go to O'Connor's Bakery for Patent Bread, Cinnamon Rolls and everything nice.

The wild phantoms and shrieking cries of a worthless humbug can make money by im? posing upon the credulity and ignorance of an honest public, aud the supply of this species of work seems more than an adequate demand. The enunciation of facts-facts that have stood crucial tests-facts proven by brain force and tangible evidence, should satisfy all laudable enterprises ; but the execrable prac? tice of teaching false ideas and doctrines for self aggrandizement is truly reprehensible and shouid be scorned by all classes. When one house tells you that Iodide of Potash is a poison simply because their oppo? nents use it, and because they are pandering to your ignorance, as they suppose, you should look upon all such as arrant frauds and their remedies as un worthy public confi? dence, and if those who muke such assertions do not know better, they are a set of unenvi? able i ii v.ur-.i m uses. D0CT0SS AND HOT SPRINGS. Hut Springs failed entirely to cure me of several terrible, indolent running ulcers on my legs, with which I have been troubled for many years. Several doctors also attempted to cure me but failed I bnve used only a few bottles of I?. li. Ii.

SUMTER, S. C., SEPT. 28, 1887. THE Citizens of Charles? ton, through the Cit j Council, invited PRESIDENT CLEVELAND to visit the City by the Sea on his Southern Tour. The President, finding time too short, wrote a letter to MAYOR COURTNAY ' stating that it would be impossible to accept the invitation this time,, but would some other time. IF Mr. Cleveland had known how cheap he could buy all kinds of goods at the store of PUCKER- & BULTMAN h& would no doubt have accepted the invitation from the- citizens of Charleston-. However, . wait, we will catch him yet, and if the President ever comes to Sumter whatever he desires to eat will be furnished by the POPULAR GROCERY HOUSS managed and owned- by Ducker & Bultman. Now the old saying is, what is good for one is apt to be good for another, especially when it comes to eating good things. If you believe this, dear reader, then rest assured that Ducker <fe Bultman will treat you the same as they would PRESIDENT CLEVELAND, and to prove this, all you have to do is to call at the store of Ducker & Bultman, leave vour orders for what ever your family need?, PAY THE CASH and go your way rejoicing, and when you arrive at your home your wife will say well done good and faith? ful servant, Itcish you would bay our goods at Ducker & Bultman!s always hereafter? Don't Cry Bete Yon arc HM, Bat read what Backer & Bultman have to say, aod if you will follow their advice you will in a few years be as rich as the Cashier of a National Bank, if be had stolen all the money and left THE BIG IRON* SAFE. Listen! Oue Monday morning in August, last, at 10 o'clock A. M. the doors of our prosperous Bauk were found closed. A large num? ber of Sumter citizens were fouod standing in front of the Bank ap? parently talking about something that was, or might io future time bet to Sumter County a very dis? astrous affair. Without delay the senior partner of the firm of DUCKER & BULTMAN went over to the Bank, office and be found that something was wro?g sure enough ; but he was ft Wy sat? isfied that nothiDg wa* wrong with the business owned and man? aged by Ducker & Bultman, aod that they would con tia ne to DEAL FAIR WITH EYE KT ONE that would kindly patronize them. Call aod see what we can do. Dear Reader, trimble is bard to overcome, however the writer mnsi go back aod finish telling the whole . story, so be patient. After our se?ior partner got to where the crowd was, be asked one of the cumber, " What io the world is the matter?" The party addressed turned around with a pale aod scary look on his face asd spoke as follows : " The Cashier of the Bank has left, taking ali the money and leaving the Big iron Safe, and THE COUNTY or SL?TEH IS RUINE?. After being convinced that tho above was trac we also concluded that it would be a bsd tbiag for the County, but now we are io formed that we were wrong io our opioioo this time, and sll that is left for us is to cse better judg? ment next time.
