Our purchasers are buying themselves rich, and the merchants all look smiling despite tbe beastly weather. Let her roll ? Notwithstanding tbe unfavorable weather, the hot supper at Mrs. Booth's cn last Friday night was well attended, and tbe receipts amounted to the satisfactory sum of $126.00. Since election bets are settled, new ones are making as to whether Harrison's course will he conciliatory or otherwise. In many cases the wish that it will is doubtless father to the thoogbt. Bornes for rent are scarce as hen's teeth in Sum ter. Why do not some of our capitalists invest their surplus money in homes? They pay from 10 to 15 per cent on tbe investment, which is a very fair rate of interest. Tbe pen By reading at tbe r?sidence of Rev. John Kershaw, on Monday evening, was quite largely . attended. 1 be program was very attractive.

K A negro man named Jim Williams, of the ^rWe??s place, in Privateer, while on his way K borne on Monday afternoon, and before he B got out of the city met with a very serious W mishap. His horse ran away and be was thrown oat of his wagon in front of Dr. China's gate, his head striking against the brick stepping block on tbe edge of tbe pave ment. He recovered tiom the first effects of tbe shock and undertook to go home; bat soon became unconscious, when Dr. Mood, who Was called to see him decided that his skull was fractured. Tbe injury is considered se rious, though be may recover from it. He is an industrious man of good character, and had just paid up his lien for this year. Shot and Recaptured. Frank Dinkins colored was arrested on last Friday on the charge of adultry. Upon his arrest constable J. A. Scbsrerin took him in bis buggy and conveyed him as far as tbe jail gateand when Mr. Schwerin started to get ont of the buggy to take bis prisoner into the jail, Dinkins jumped out of tbe other side of the vehicle and started off at a break Deck speed in an opposite direction to that of She jail. Mr. Schwerin dreu* his pistol and fired three tidies at Dinkins who was running fer all he wae worth. One of the shots found its way in the iower part of Diukins' body and was the cause of his recapture. Dinkins was forthwith pat in jail and Dr. J. A. Mood was tent for and on examination it was ascer tiaoeo that it was only a flesh wooad. The Black Diamond Quartette. The four efaampicn singers. Prof. M. S.

The opportunity is j now offered to oar citizens to bear the four ; best singers said to be in the world. Admis- j 8ion 35 cents, children 25 cents. Doors opeu j at 7 o'clock.

Reckling's Art Gallery Reckling's Art Gallery has won such a reputation that no ooe now feels satisfied unless his or her picture is taken there and nowhere else. Maov of the citizens of this County will attend ib? State Fair this week and among the first things they will do upon their arrival at the cnpita? will be to go to Reckling's Art Gallery and have some excel I lent pictures taken of themselves.?See adver > tisement. ! Colored Farmer's Clnb. We have been furnished with the "list of members of the '-Colored Farmer's Club of Mayesv?J-e," recently organized, but were aot informed as to the objects of the Club, farther Aan w indicated by the name. The following is the membership?the three first named being Trustees ; R. A. Wilson, Chas. Johnson, Layton Watson Grant Eolliday, I. G. Gregg, Elli son KcGill, Harvey McLeod, W. F. Green, Kelson Brock, Pompey Jenkins. The Wren Comedy Company. From what we have beard respecting the lare performance of this aggregation in Music Hall, we are not inclined to rate the artists attached to it very highly. The local hits were amusing, of course, but beyond these there was little to interest or instruct in the performance. The Bmallneas of the audience may hare chilled the ardor of the artists, but it is very poor policy in a company ever to allow themselves a "let down" on account of any such reason. ?mm>-~?? i? Well for Sumter. A gentlemen from the North who was passing through this section, on the Coast Line a day or two ago, heard some persons talking about the proposed new bank in this city, and becoming interested, he stopped over, investigated the matter, and ended by subscribing $500 to the stock of the bank. We are particularly pleased by this piece of news, coming as it does right on the heels of the election, because it shows that the North ern people bave not lost confidence in the de velopment of the Sooth, and are not afraid to invest their money here. The Bank, we nn^.rstand, expects to be in operation by the first of January next. The State Fair. The Twentieth Annual State Fair opened yesterday and will continue through the 16th. Columbia is at her very best and her streets are now illuminated with electric lights, and with the thousands of attractions during Fair week she is certainly as "pretty as a picture." If the weather is anyway favorable to-morrow will be the big day, an J .Mngs will be lively and gay at our capital. We see by the papers that "some hammer ed brass work by pupils of the Sumter Insti tute show much promise and attracted gene ral attention. From the same institute were j sent pretty flower paintings on native wood. "P. L Melton, of Columbia, h?3 a herd of registered Jerseys, and Mr. T. 0. Sanders, of ! Sumter, the short-horn bull Duke McHenry. "Mr. Spigner, of Columbia and Mr. San ! ders, of Sumter, exhibit a pen of African broad-tail sheep. ; "A new and attractive featnre, although a very small one, was a minature steam engine and saw mill complete with a peculiarly shrill whistle, the work of J. W. Sheal?y, a lad of 1$, employed as weigher of engines in the Richmond and Danville round house. He has bad no instruction in mechanics, and his self devised and constructed engine, not more than a foot in length and supplied with Steam from a big boiler near by, was very much admired. The races were poorly attended yesterday. The first event was h dash of three quarters of a mile. Erin Burke won easily in 1.18$, Triple Cross second and Koree third. The second event was a trotting race, mile beats, best two in three. Maggie R won the first heat in 2.39, Lucy R won the second and third heats and the race in 2.39$ aod 2 42, Dick third. The third race was a three quarter mile dash. Lady Dean won in 1.18, with Josh Billings second and Julien third. The programme for to-day is as follows : 10 to 11 A.

Our Charleston Advertisers. Gala Week draws on apace. The excre ment of it is already in the air. Parties are making up and plans perfecting for a week of solid enjoyment. Ail the ''country cousins" are going to "town," as Charlestonian.3 de light tocali it. While there we advise them to call on our advertisers, and help them and us at the same time. We wish them all a good time, and that they will all get back to safety. The Ashley Phosphate Company is one of the institutions of Charleston tha? claims the j acquaintance of every citizen of Sumter i County, and there is no place at which we ; can assure our friends of receiving a warmer I welcome. Or. Frost an2 Mr. ?eSaussure are ! both gentlemen of the oid School and it seems to give them especial pleasure to receive vis itors from the country. The fertilizers made by them have proved themselves from use to j be ot tbe best grades, and we advise those I who have not used them before to do so next ! season. [ Geo. S. Hacker & Son , manufacturers of doors, sash, blinds, and building material, are the oldest establishment in that line in the city?having been established in 1842, and the character of their work is known all over the State. Mr. E. M. Hacker, the proprietor of the business has grown up in it and gives bis daily attention to its conduct. Otto F. Witters ?wholesale grocer and liquor dealer, is one of the leading merchants on East Bay. He keeps an immense stock ; and occupies stores on both sides of the street. Ee is well known to many of our readers, and will be pleased to extend his acquaintance. As will be seen by his card, his office and salesroom is 188, East Ray. Geo. W. Steffens, wholesale grocer, auction and commission merchant, &c.. in addition to keeping a large stock of groceries i3 agent for several special lines of goods to which he in vites attention. He desires especially to brios to tbe notice of dealer? and families who want the best lager beer made in this country j to ids agency f?>r th* Philip Ue=t Brewing j Company, of Milwaukee. J. R. Johnson & Son.?For fashionable hats and first class umbrellas, there is no ! place in the State that can excel the old and ! thoroughly reliable house of J. K. Johnson &, j Son, whose stock will alwsys be found to be op to the latest styles and first class in every particular. Their umbrellas are made by themselves, and we know from long acquaint ance with several of them that it would be I almost impossible to make them any better. James Allan & Co., headquarters for watch es, diamonds, jewsiry, siiverware, &c. The finest stock of goods in the State can t-e found at their large and eiegant establishment, 285 j King street, which will be found by their old customers to be much enlarged and greatly improved from the former size and appearance. It will be found, however, at the same old stand, and with the weM-known sign of the I Drum Clock to indicate the place. For reli- j able goods at reasonable prices you ueed go no further. J. R. Read & Co.?There is no more reli able bouse iu Charleston, and no same in business better known in the State than thai of J. R. Read & Co. By reference to their advertisement it wiil be seen that they have a large stock of new and desirable goods and that they are prepared to offer rare in ducements to purchasers during Gala Week as well as later on in the season. Those who visit Charleston should not fail to visit this old and popular establishment. C. Wulbern & Co., wholesale grocers, 167 and 169 East Bay, is a very popular house with the people of Sumter, and deservedly so. Their goods and prices always give satisfac tion and their manner of dealing has not only made new friends but kept the old ones. Not the least attraction at this house for Snmter people is their genial and courteous former fellow citizen, Mr. W. W. Dick, who so gracefully combines Ibe position of salesman for the house with that of friend and adviser to those who may not be posted as to the goods they need. Geo. E. Toale & Co , are manufacturers of sash, blinds, doors, and other building sup plies. Their office will be found at the corner of Hayne and Church streets, and they guar antee their work to give satisfaction. They give prompt attention to customers, and those who need anything in their line are advised to call on them. G. L. Cook, Photographer, 265 King Street will be found to be one of the best artists in the City. He learned, the business from his father whose pictures have been known and admired for their superiority for years by citi zens of this Sfate. We advise our readers who expect to visit Charleston to call at this office and get a card that will procure special reduced rates on pictures at the above gallery. C. C. Leslie, Dealer in fish, game, oysters, poultry, &c, will be found at his place of business, 18 and 20 Market street, and those who want anything in his line will be sure to get the best and receive prompt attention. We take pleasure in recommending him to our readers. "Keep to the Right." It is the 'Maw of the road," for vehicles in passing each other to keep to the right. It is also the custom in all cities where many persons are going to and fro for each one to keep on the right of the pavement, and as Snmter is now a city it is time that our people should take to city ways. Some of our col ored population, however?especially the women and children?make it a rule to crowd in on the inside of the pavement, whether it is right or left, and at times are rude in their persistence to keep the inside. The negro men, as a rule, are seldom, if ever, guiftJ*of this rudeness, and it would be well for theo? to teach their families the same good behavior. The Advance, in its last issue notices ao oc currence of this kind and makes some re marks thereon in which we concur. The following is the item : 'On last Sunday afternoon we were eye witnesses of a piece of rudeness which is un pardonable. Some little white children re turning from Sunday scnool were nearly run over and knocked down by colored girls old enough to know better. Some of the white children were not over five years old, and absolutely helpless. If the policemen of the city cannot protect the children, parents or friends will, let the results be what they may."
