Mr. Editor : We are planting cotton as fast
as we can drive ; corn a full stand and.some
of it nearly large enough to plow. More fer?
tilizer used around here this season than ever
before. The farmers appear to be in unusu?
ally good spipits,and. we regret to add that
one of them came from town last night with
the spirits (fermenti) in him. His yelling
would have done credit to a Comanche In?
dian.
The late blizzard left us a short peach crop;
but if the blackberry yield is large, I guess
most lictis around here will hold out.
Mr. Frank Jackson, has Dine acres of cotton
up and'looking*fine.
Mr. Jno. F. Ballard bas been quite sick,
but is improving.
When cotton planting is over the boys are
going to the Wateree swamp to have a grand
fish fry; and Ed Boykio has made a wager
that he can eat four "gizzard" shad without
bread. Says he is not afraid of the bones,
and that he can't be induced to back out.
We like Ed. ?nd will carry a doctor with us.
Conrad Folk is the most active young man
in our section. He can turn somersaults,

any one should be curious to know bow he ?
performs these feats so easily, I will explain
in the future.
Can you inform me which kind of artificial

Newspapers in 1888.
From the edition of Oeo. P. Bowell & Co's
"American Newspaper Directory," published.
April 2d (its twentieth year), it appears that
the Newspapers and Periodicals of all kinds
issued in. the United States and Canada, now
number IC.310 showing a gain of 890 during
the last 12 mootb3 and of 7,130 in 10 years.
The publishers of the Directory assert that
the impression that when the proprietor of a
newspaper undertakes to state what bas been
his exact circulation, he does Dot generally
tel! the truth is an erroneous one, and they
conspicuossly offer a reward of $100 for every
instance in their book for this year, where
it can be shown that the detailed report re?
ceived from a publisher was untrue.

distressing cough and running into consumpiion
in its first stages. He tried many so c:illed popu?

reduced in flesh, bad difficulty in breathing and
was unable to sleep. Finally tried Dr. King's
New Discovery for Consomption and found im?
mediate relief, and after using about a half
dozen Votties found himself well ?md has had no
return of the disease. No other remedy can
show so griwid a record of cures, as Dr. King's

Vr.e are leaders in our business. We convinced them that our
establishment is by far the largest in Sumter. W? convinced :
them tnat w? conduct our business upon the solid basis of the j
"real and substantial" rather than upon the imaginary strength j
~ ?
of misrepresentation and "splurging" announcements.
We convinced them that c-tir stock in: variety, superiority j
and magnitude had no equal in Sumter.
!
Wc convinced them that we are ali we claim to te as pro- j
caressive and wide awake merchants.
We convinced them, as we are prepared to convince every?
body, that J. RYTTENBERG & SONS' ESTABLISHMENT
is truly a great store in fact and reality.

us we say be sure and visit our store and you will be convinced j
i
that you have lost considerable by not coming before. To those .

B0?T il ? FALtORY,
Had the most successful business last.year tri
any tn its history. Tbs ?zrowth cf its busi?
ness has been truly r?mar"^ahl5 From "very
small beginnings it has assumed almost gi?
gantic proportions asd its .goods are found in
the stores of almost every merchant in this
State and Georgia. Its mail orders are large
and parties once supplied with a line of tts
coods invariably continue their patronage.'
Ne-irly six years of constant, strict attention
to details, endeavoring in every instance to*
meet the demands of consumers, it is now
reaping its reward. Business in 188?'was
exceptionally good, and the Spring trade ?bf
the present year, though orders were smalls
still ran ahead of corresponding time for last
year. Fall business cannot r?elp*b'3t b#good(
and we advice our cs'sto'm?fs. to tdac? their
orders early w?th cs, that we mary be enabled
to dr?iv?i them at th^ tim? desired. ? TTe'con
fi deni ly expect r?_ show g'c?fd^ t?f? coming
se?sofi ccfual in ?c?sh to ?ny Nort?^rn Shoe
tn th? market. If your merchant does .not
keep our goods, write 10 us direct, and wei
will supply you with anything desired.
