In view of this fact and the de ftrebility of the place otherwise, the S. L. I. could not have made a better selection. Ko one need send off for wedding presents Hoyt aa* a foll line coming. Married.

E. Keels, John R. Keels awd A. S. Barrett, charging j them with assault and battery with -deadly' weapon, aad carrying concealed weapons.

The third anniversary of the Sumter Fire Engine Company was celebrated on last Wednesday night with a supper at the Com? pany Hall, at which there was a large at? tendance of members-both active and con? tributing. The supper was furnished by Bill Andrews, and to say that it was in his best style will be understood by those who know Sumter's popular caterer, that it was first Class. The Committee of Arrangements, Messrs. H. F- Wilson, Marion Sanders, Leon Druelle, jj. A. Epperson, E. F. Lorousseliere and IFrank O'Donnell, and the Reception Com? mittee, E. I. Reardon, B. R. Sanders and Wm. Moran, discharged their duties to the , satisfaction of all present, and consequently j there was nothing lacking to make the occa? sion what it was intended to be-one of pleas? ure to all. The supper was provided with an abund? ance of good eatables-meats, fruits, pastry, coffee &c., but nothing stronger, and after? wards cigars were passed around, and a while was spent in smoking and talking in a free and easy way, but there were no speeches. The annual election of officers for the Com? pany was held on Tuesday, the 7th, and the following are the officers for the present year : A. W. Suder, Foreman. Marion Sanders, Assistant Foreman. E. I. Reardon, Secretary and Treasurer. H. Frank Wilson, Solicitor. Dr. J. A. Mood, Surgeon. Bishopville Items. BISHOPVILLE, S. C., Feo. 13, 1888. Mr. Editor: No doubt it has been asked what bas become of your Bi?hopv?ile corres? pondent, whether he had skipped the country or fallen in love. We assure you neither : we refrained from writing until "the Gods" should furnish us something to write about. Even now there is still nothing to write about. So we will only have to let you know that we are still in existence. Our neighborhood for a week or so has been quite gay. Several pound partier and two dances. There was quite an enjoyable party op at Mr.-Barrett's last Thursday evejing-by far the most pleasant of its kind this season It was "awa lang in the wee sma hours'' before it was brought to a close. Miss-Scott bas come to Bishopville to live. Capt.-Collins expects to move himself and family to Bishopville in a few days. We congratulate B. on ber acquisitions. The Bishopville B.

Most of our merchants are back from Charles? ton wbere they hu.ve been to purchase their Spring stock. There wa3 quite an excitement prevailing in Bishopville for the last two days. Ail from a fickleness on the part of one of our ! fair sex. We hope nothing serious will ter? minate from it, as both parties seemed to be in bright spirits (comparatively) and we think the motive on the part of our fair one was honest, and not that she tried to deceive. But we think it should be a warning to the "Boys." Though the would-be-groom elect looked as if nothing of the kind h*d ever happened. Judging from his external ap? pearance you would deem him to be one of earth's happiest. But as to his internal feel? ing we can say nothing. We can imagine that they were not of a very pleasant nature. Theonly consolation we offer is that it is "Better to have loved and lost, Than never to have loved at all." So, hoping nothicg of the kind will ever take place io our little town again, Weare yours, E. K. Our Exchanges.
