The services of two.of I Sumter's excellent salesmen, Mr. Aaron ; Snares and Mr. Cnarlie S neston have been secured by Mr. Levi, and ? tnese gentlemen j know wh.it is wbat in the art of sel ling goods, things are likely to hum pretty lively in a few weeks when Mr. Levi's Spring stock has ar? rived.

One sweetly solemn thought, Comes to the maids o'er and o'er, They are nearer husbands to-day Than ever they've thought before. Eighteen hundred and eighty-eight! Leap Year! Oh! glorious year! The girls will have all their way this year, and don't you forget, if you please. It is no longer "Yours truly," but it is theirs-"truly" this time. So keep quiet, young man; You have had yonr time and you have made poor use of it. May-be, though, the young ladies will give you a showing to-morrow evening at the Leap Y ear Ball to be held at Music Hall. It will stand you in band to look your "pret? tiest" on that occasion, and for gracious sake don't say mama objects when yo'u are asked to dance the round dance. For really there is no great sin in a young man dancing the round dance with a sweet and inaocenf young j lad}*, notwithstanding public opinion to the contrary on this subject. After all it is bow you look at a thing. Dance as often as you are invited to de so, but don't flirt. There is no time for foolishness. Leap year is fast rolling away and its motto is, "Now or never." This is the situation in plain Eng? lish. The orange blossom must bloom and its growth must not be stunted by the bashful youths of Sumter County. So boys, chassez right when frou are called out to-morrow evening and swing corners lively. "Oh, Do Not Be Discouraged." Our popular citizen and model Postmaster, Co!. D. J. Auld, informed us this morning that the last Leap Year entertainment in Sum? ter was held at bis residence, and thai of the twenty-two young ladies present on that oc? casion, only eleven are without husbands now. The Colonel states with all seriousness that this is a pretty good showing and that that Leap Year Party panned ont more hus? bands than had been expected, aod he is now of the opinion that the "watch cry" of every girl this year ought to be the first line of that good old hymn, "Oh, do not be discouraged." - i mm ?*mm*~-~ Now or Never !

The London Boot and Shoe Trades Journal contains the following in its issue of Decem? ber 24: "A aovelty in advertising appears in the pages of the Boston Boot ?nd Shoe Recorder. A full page is occupied with the portrait of Mr. W. L. Douglas, of Brockton, Mass., and the names of the five specialties that he manu? factures. Mr. Douglas is famous in the States, on account of the boycott placed on bis goods, because he has dared to introduce the lasting machine into his factory.
