F. D. Green. We copy from the Lancaster Ledger, the following notice of the dea?b of Mr. Francis D. Green, which occured at bis home near Lancaster on the 30th ult. The deceased was a native of this county and the father of our fellow-townsman J. T. Green Esq : Mr. francis: D. Green, one of the most respected citizens of our county, died, at his home five mi.es West of this place, cn the 30th May, 1888. 'For several months Mr. G. had been in wretched health, and his sickr 3 finally developed into congestion of the br .un accompanied by paralysis of the tongue and throat. For two weeks prior to his death he suffered intensely. Mr. Green was born near Bishopville, in Sumter County, S. C., ou April 13, 1825. About the age of 25 he was married to Miss Susana Brown, a sister of Mr. D. W. Brown of Lancaster and moved to Lancaster Coun? ty. A few years later he was left a widower and afterward married Mi*s Virginia Cureton, a daughter of the late Thos. K- Cureton. He leaves a widow and seven children to ujoura his loss who have the warm sympathy of their many friends throughtout the county. Mr. Green was one of the best of citizens and was held in high esteem by every one. He was a man of the highest integrity and of unblemished character. He was not a mem? ber of any church, yet he was a regular and constant attendant at church and an ardent supporter of its demands. Truly tbe spirit of a good maa Has passed to eternal rest. Married. On "Wednesday evening, May 6th, at the residence of the bride's mother, by Rev. John Kershaw, Mr. John Jos. Morrissey and Miss Mary E. Brown, oldest daughter of the late A. W. Brown, ail of Sumter County. We return thanks for a package of cake with the compliments of the bride and groom. - -1 i ??* M. [Religious. Rev. W. B. Duncan will preach ai Zoar next Sunday afternoon, 17th inst., at 4? o'clock, P. M. The meetings in the Methodist Church con? ducted by Rev. Mr. Leitch during: the past week have been increasing in interest. Many have manifested earnest desires for a better Christian life, and others have professed faith in Christ and have determined to lead a new life, following t)ie commandments of God. Overflowing congregations greeted the preach? er on Sunday, and the sermons were calcu? lated to arouse the lukewarm Christian, and produce conviction on the minds of the un? saved. The meetings will be continued dur? ing this week at 10:30 A. M., and 8:30 P. M. AU are cordially invited to attend. Postponed. Tbe dedication of oar new Church at Oak? land has been postponed one week and will be on the 4th Sunday in this month. There will be preaching at Jordan and Lewis Chapel next Sunday as usual. Jone 12, '88. W. B. DTOCAN. ---> i mmm Fine Peaches. Mr. J. W. Cooper, of Mayesville, sent U3 tbjs morning two very handsome peaches of the "Hale's Early" variety,;the largest of which measured nearly nine inches in circum? ference. He says that he has been using peaches for about two weeks from the tree from which these were taken. Explanation. Miss Girardeau regrets that owing to the unavoidable haste with which the invitations to the College Commencement were issued, some names were omitted. The list was hurriedly and imperfectly made out, and she hopes that it will be un? derstood that any omission was through in? advertence. The friends and patrons of the College are always cordially welcomed at any of the school entertainments. Feather Kenovator. We have in our town one of the latest im? proved machines for cleansing feathers. The management announces that they will be here only a limited time. They have every facility for handling beds and guarantee satisfaction. One of their several soliciting agents will call and present the merits of the business Treat them courteously and reap a much-needed benefit. Beds are collected aod delivered free several miles io the country. The gentlemen operating have been in the State several months and are well endorsed. The beds are safe in their hands-try them, you will not regret it. The Lost Fonnd. .Our citizens no doubt remember the inter? est that was aroused sometime io the early part of January, 1887, over the disappearance of Miss Lizzie Brown, the daughter of the late A.W.Brown, on the eve of her departure, with her brother and sister, for Texas, to live with their grandfather; and that after nu? merous efforts to find what had become of her, and a delay of several months, the other children went to Texas without her. So far as we know, her guardian and relatives have been unable, np to a short while back, to find out anything about her ; but the mystery was ended last week by ber marriage "at home," to Mr. J. J. Morrissey, a near neigh? bor, a notice of which appears under the mar? riage bead. St. Joseph's Academy. The twenty-fourth annual commencement of St. Joseph's Academy will be celebrated on Thursday, 21st instant. The graduates are: Miss Edith M. DeLorme, of Snmter, Miss Sallie Levi, of Manning, Miss Jessie Smith, of Sumter, and Miss Emma Strauss, of New York. Medals will be awarded for proficiency in music to Miss Sallie Levi and Miss Katie Reardon. The rare character of the commencement exercises of St. Joseph's Academy nas long been the theme of praise by all who have ever attended any of the exhibitions that are held annually at this institution of learning. These celebrations are always grand and brilliant and never fail to excite the admira? tion of all, and consequently citizens from different parts of the State are always glad to come to these Commencement Feasts of St. Joseph's Academy. Silk Culture. Mrs. Z P. Moses expects te ship in a few days to the U. S. Agricultural Department ?ix pounds of silk Cocoons and a lot of eggs, the result ef her season's work with 20,000 worms raised from eggs furished from the Department. Had it not been for tue cool wet wentber about ten day s ago which hap? pened to come just at the time that the worms w?re getting upon the frames to spin, and whicb chilled them, causing the death of a large number, she would bare had a ? .ch Jarger yield. Mrs. Moses bas given .u<jch attention and study to silk culture, and says that she is satisfied that many ladie3 and young peeple in our country could engage io it with paying results. She bas some very pretty specimens of silk of ber raising that ?be will be pleased to show to persons who feel an interest ia the matter. The Govern, ment isendevoring to foster tbe industry by supplying eggs ta the spring, and buying the silk when made. The Eclectic College. Music Hall presented an interesting scene on last Wednesday evening. It was the oc? casion ot the Commencement exercises of the Eclectic College. The Hall was full to over? flowing and the event wa3 a brilliant one. Wherever the eye turned it beheld life, beauty and coltnre, and under such soft and elevat? ing influences the following programme was most successfully and admirably carried out: Opening Chorus-Gently fall the dews of eve-School. Salutatory-Miss Emmie Hav/kins. Trio-Waltz-Misses Kate Moses, Lou Green and C. M. Girardeau. Prize Essay-Won by Miss Carrie Conyers -Read by Dr. Auld. Inst. Solo-La Reine des fleurs-Miss Ruth Tindal. Golden Reports-[These are bestowed on those scholars who have maintained as aver? age of 95 out of a possible 100, during the entire school term.] Quartette-March-Misses Lawton, Rich? ardson, Harby and Brown. Diplomas-Misses Ruth Tindal and Emmie Hawkins. Inst. Solo-L. Argentine-Miss Belle San? ders. Valedictory-Miss Ruth Tindal. Dnet-From Zampa-Misses Ruth Tiudal, C. M. Girardeau. The Rev. G. B. Moore, of Darlington, de? livered the address. His subject was, "Is Life Worth L;ving?" The address was chaste, scholarly and profound, but entirely too long, and many of bis bearers began to think very seriously of the question, "Is Life worth living?" The Eclectic College is now on a firm basis and is winning for itself a reputation that is goat enviable indeed. \ - \ Sumter Institute. ? baccalaureate sermon sounds big for Sumter, but nevertheless a most excellent one was delivered with peculiar force and effeet at Institute Hall on last Sunday evening by the chaplain, Dr. N. W. Edmunds. Th?3 new feature of the commencement exercises is not without its charm and will contribute no little to the completeness of these events. On Monday afternoon, from 5 to 8, the large ball of the Institute was thrown open for the inspection of the extensive and elegant assortment of works of art, executed by the pupils of the school and by a few outside art students. The correspondent of the News and Courier says: "Every variety of drawing'and painting in water and oil colors, on all kinds of materials, working on brass sheets, kc, were arranged with taste and judgment. Everything was so well done that it is scarce? ly possible to select specimens, but the follow? ing were so uncommonly fine that I cannot pass them by : "A Russian moonlight scene, by the art teacher. Mrs. Kate Derby Jackson, was, of course, the finest piece of painting in the ex? hibition. It is excellent in. drawing and coloring, and stamps the artist as first-rate in her department. A copy of the same subject and Indian Summer, Blush roses, Shetland Isles, (a marine painting,) all by Mrs. W. H. Yates; Chenango Valley, by Miss Terry ; the same ?subject and Fall" Crocuses, by Miss Cordes, of Florida ; Landscape and pansies, by Miss Mamie Edmunds ; the Narrows on the Hudson, by Miss Mills; the same subject, by Miss Barnett ; The Infant Samuel (pencil,) by Miss Lillie Fraser; basket of fruit and flowers on china, by Miss May Bossard ; wild roses, by Mm Lapsley; flowers painted on satin, by Miss Gussie Solomons ; flowers on wood, by Miss Frierson, of Anderson ; rabbits (pencil) and painting on velvet, by Miss Emmie James, of Darlington; pencil drawings by Misses Harrie, Kershaw and Gibson." "The above are among the best works exhib? ited. There were numerous delineations of flowers, cupids, animals, &c, on hammered brass, and some exquisite tapestry painting. One of the most interesting features was the j first steps in dawing. Mrs. Jackson teaches all the pupils to draw by the eye alone: no measurements are al lowed. Your correspond? ent has seen several of the exhibits of the Charlotte yoong ladies, but considera the works shown at the Sumter Institute equal to any of them." The concert that evening was simply grand and intoxicated the audience with delight. Miss Terry and Mrs. McCallum the music teachers are entitled to no little credit for the success of the concert on Monday evening. The following is the programme : PART FIRST. 1. Rhapsodie Hongroise, No. 2-Liszt Misses Dickson and Barron. 2. Polonaise, Op. 26-Chopin-Miss How? ard. ? 3. Vocal Duett, Serenade-Schubert Misses Walsh and Dickson. 4.

Prayer from Der Freischutz-Von Weber -Misses Walsh and Dickson. The Alumna; Association met on Tuesday evening, and it was a grand meeting indeed. The Hon. J. S. Verner delivered a most elo? quent and able address. To-night the graduating exercises will round off the commencement occasion of the Sumter Institute for the year 1887-88. .> A Big Day. The Sunday School picnic at Bethel CboP?bSj on last Saturday was an exceedingly interest-* ing and pleasant affair. The address by Dr. H. T. Abbott suited the occasion most admi? rably and was enjoyed with keen relish. Dr. Edwin J. Rembert, of Rafting Creek, followed next, and delivered a most scholarly and fin? ished address. The Doctor's speech was a paragon of eloquence and it smacked of gen? uine originality. Mayesvilie's prince of ora? tors, Col. J. Harvey Wilson, was next intro duced, and it is useless to say that Col. Wil? son made an eloquent speech at Bethel or any where else. It is taken for granted. He achieved high distinction in that respect in the House of Representatives several years ?go and was known a3 the "eloqueut Wilson." Col. Marion Sanders, Capt. E. Scott Car?on, and other candidates were present at this fes? tival, but they reserved their campaign thun-.-j der for later on in the season when aliare ex? pected to meet and remind each other 'of the time when Moses saw the promised land from afar. .?IIACKMETACK," a lasting and fragrant perfume.
