Bright Future.
Our City Fathers met on last Wednesday

sag to the Bntawville Railroad thirteen acres
of land in the city limits as a site to erect a
depot, shops, etc Council also showed good
Judgment by agreeing to exempt the road and

Samter with railroad shops and her great
railroad facilities is certainly destined to be a
place of much importance in the near future.
Grone to Gala Week.
Everybody and his aunt bas gone to
Charleston this week. The bad weather has
sot deterred them, nor the prospect of bank

will be the last day on which excursion tick
ets will be sold. Fare for round trip, $1.90

**A Picture of Charleston."
Notwithstanding the sneers and jibes of the
World, there is no doubt that the News and

the grandest thing in its line ever attempted
fit accomplished in South Carolina, and, per
haps we might say as great as has been issued
in the entire South. It is what it purports to
be,vis: a pen picture of the commercial,
social, ecclesiastical, industrial, civil and
military life of Charleston. The effect is well
calculated to raise Charleston in the estima
tion of ,?e country, and places the News and
Courier in the very forefront of journalistic

It is not what men1 say but what they do
that constitutes their importance and value to
their country, and tbe old Game Cock Coun

man, who can plan, perform,, resolve and ex
ecute.
A Just Appreciation.
Armory Hall was at its best last evening
and the Sumter Light Infantry demonstrated
their high appreciation of tbe past services of
their gallant ex-Captain, H F. Wilson, in a
most substantial way. Tbe occasion was the
presentation of a gold headed walking caue
to him, which feature of the evening's pro
gramme took place after the Company and
their guests had partaken most heartily of
one of tbe best snppers ever given in Sumter.
After tbe inner man had been most royally
entertained, then eloquence, rare wit and
happy conviviality bad their sway and held
everything spell-bound for the rest of the
evening. When the toasts were in order
Cnpt. R. A. Brand rose and in behalf of the
Sumter Light Infantry requested Major Mar
ion Moise to pr jent tbe gold beaded walking
cane io their ex-Captain.
It would simply be a waste of time to
speak of tbe graceful and eloquent manner in
which this request was complied with, and
tbe model way in which heart-felt thanks
were returned by Captain Wilson. Repre
sentative Altamoot Moses, Mr. C. H. Moise,
Dr. John S Hugbson, &>!. Marion Sanders,
Lieut. Aaron Phelps, Mr. T. B. Fraser, Jr.,
when called upon responded most eloquently
and appropriately. And thus ended one of
tbe most pleasant occasions in tbe history of I
tbe Sumter Light Infantry.

Mighty Glad to See You.
[From the Nhcs and Courier.']
They are still coming this way?the bright
eyed, cheery-voiced, enthusiastic people from
hiliside and valley and pineland all over tbe
State. A great many of tbem have been
here before, and especially during the Festival
of '87. They went hack home and told the
truth about it and now they and their friends
have come and are still on the move down
to the seashore. The trains yesterday were
crowded on the Charleston and Savannah,
Atlantic Coast line, and South Carolina Rail
way. A great many people who got on the
train at points near tbe city bad to stand up,
as alt the best seats had been engaged.
But, as had been said already, everybody
is welcome, and this is undoubtedly tbe case
in which "the more the merrier role applies
>,-ith special force. All the babies, (God bless
theu? 1) who have come are darlings, all the
young Jadies are as sweet looking as moun
tain pinks, lilies of tbe valley, or roses of
the plain, ai? the matrons are as dignified as
they can be ucQvr the exciting influences of
tbe week, and all thO gentlemen are particular

lightful throng to Charles.on. There is room

"Ten Nights in a Barroom*'
was played ia ibe Jordan neighborhood on
last Thursday evening by an amateur com
pany, organized for the occasion, and con
sisting of Miss Hattie Gamble as Mehitable
Cartright ; Miss Fannie Burns, Mrs. Morgan ;
Mrs. R. B. Gamble, Little Mary ; Mr. W. M.
Stevens, Sample Switcbel, and Joe Morgan ;
R. B. Gamble* Harvey Green ; Henry Cut
tioo, Willie Hammond ; M. H. Plowden, Mr.
Romain; A. G. Warren, SimonSlade; Tom
Hair, Frank Slade.
Mr. Stevens acted two characters and de
serves great credit for the efficient manner in
which they were sustained. The other gen
tlemen all did well, but want of space forbids
us speaking of them separately. Miss Hattie
Gamble made a charming "Mehitable," and
Miss Fannie Borns and Mrs. datable both
acted their parts to perfection. The audi
ence was delighted and the play, notwith
standing several omissions, was a success.
Tue entertainment was concluded by the
laughable farce "Rooms to Let," after which
supper was served, and the evening was
concluded in refreshing the inner man with
suhstantials, cake, pies, custards, &c.
The success of the entertainment was doe to
the ladies as a matter of course, and they de
serve great praise. The amount realized was
about $00?$22 at tbe door and $68 io the
refreshment room. Taking these figures as a
guide, it would appear that something to eat
beats intellectual entertainments three to one.
Tbe money will be expended in finishing the
new Church building, which promises to be
an ornament to the neighborhood as well as a
spiritual blessing.
F. J. O'Connor has received a large and
well assorted lot of toys, aod desires parties
to call and make their selection for Christmas
presents.
Boss-Tinted Description.
Tbe twentieth annual ball of the South
Carolina Club held in the House of Represen
tatives on last Thursday evening must have
been a grand affair. Judgiog from the de
scription of the dresses worn, one who was
not there might be induced to believe that
some of the costumes were r .de in Fairy
Land for the occasion. Here is a description
of some of the dresses :
"Miss Duncan, Union f Debutante costume
of white cashmere and Fedora lace, as sweet
and fresh as a bed of spring flowers at 5
o'clock in the morning."
"Mi;>s Martin, Augusta: A delightful con
ceit, which must bave been born in Paris."
"Miss Agnes McMaster, Colombia: A dainty
gown, so fairy-like, so odorous of sweet sug
gestions as seemed fairly to perfume the at
mosphere in its passing."
"Miss CaldweM, Memphis : In the grada
tions of tone perceptible io this superb sym
posium of color were reflected all the deep
shades and lambent luminosity of a Watteau
picture."
"Miss Bettie Rawlins, Columbia: Angels
are clothed in white, so they say, and thus,
too, tbe debutante at ber first ball. What
lovelier costume could be devised ? Crystal
silk, front draperies of Valenciennes lace,
moire bodice, and elegant moire sash."
"Misa Jackson, Charleston : Some dresses
are stitched in time, but this charming dress
was stitched in clouds; clouds of exquisite
pale blue lace on a backgroud of faille Fran'
caise of the same delicious hue, with sprays
of apple blossoms, pendant upon the pointed
corsage, and clustered upon the fairy-like
skirt."
"Mi&3 Emma Taber, Fort Motte : A lovely
dress, set off by artistic drapings of gold
threaded mull and of that lovely shide of
pale heliotrope, whose charm is as indescrib
able and as sort as the down on a butterfly's
wing."
"Miss Courtenay, Charleston : We may say
of this costume, withoot stretching tbe cloth,
that it was composed almost entirely of rose
scented fancies, expressed in the language of
elegant white broche silk finely wrought in
stripes ofrfull blown roses, rosebuds and
leaves en evidence, combined with soap-bubble
gauze, real point d' Alencon, and the rich
gleam of rubies and pearls."

Letter from Gav.
Gregg's X Roads, Nov. 19, 1888.
Well, tbe crops are now sufficiently harvest
ed for every man to see to the bottom, and if
no one sees any more than we do he'd best be
turning around and doing something for a
living. We've paid for the fertilizers and tbe
bacon and?the figgers, and now that we've
leisure to think and to figger some for our
selves, we wonder what in tarnation we've
been working so hard for, and where in tbe
name of Thomas P. Walker our own share
and profil bas gone to and who's got it.
They say figgers don't lie, and we ?ggered it
out in the spring and bad a right sharp bal
ance to our credit, and we made a very fair
crop, and?but?well, spring figgers and fall
figgers ain't no kin no how.
We will mention, by way of warning, that
we were dad blamed fool enough to monkey a
little with factors again. We were recom
mended to a firm in the Garden of Eden who
were said tobe straight and fair and square
dealing men, and we shipped them 2 bales of
cotton just to try and regain some of our lost
confidence in the old place. Well, after
many days, and when quotations were about
the minimum, we received account sales, and
blessed if it didn't come mighty nigh being
all we did recieve. In plain figures we lost
jest about $12.00. and our conclusion is that
we can catch the devil much nearer home
hereafter, and without sending all the way to
Eden. That $12 we'll consider as our con
tribution towards the Gala Week festivities
which we must now perforce enjoy through
tbe medium of the pleasures of the imagina
tion. If any one else should know of an
other fair, square, honest dealing factor, we'd
thank him to recommend bim to?some other
darned fool, ltJEx Uno disce omnee."
One of the wealthiest and most intelligent
planters of our County told us that he had
lost $140 on a shipment of 25 bales cotton?
about $5.50 per ba'e. Is it any wonder that
the plethoric purses of the Garden of Eden
should seek a safety valve in gala weeks and
million dollar hotels and the like. Next lime
we'er born we intend to be a factor or a?a
lawyer.
We've h*d to fool some with tbe law, too,
lately. Now the good hook Pays "There
were lawgivers io those days." But great
Moses and Aaron, our recent experience is
that "those days" and these days ain't no
kin either. They don't give it "away now.
We didn't want but a small quantity, and we
don't know what the wholesale price is ; but
at retail?well, we ain't able to buy any
mu'? this year and if the good Lord keep us
from hecotainga fit sutject for the Lunatic
Asylum, we'll try to make this small
amount do for the balance of this present
natural life, an;* way. Why it's a sight
cheaper to fctudy tt?> blamed thing and be a
lawyer you self. "AnJ there were lawgivers
in those days." Well theiJ nin't now. Mar
ket firm and tendency higher. Gcv.

determined not to be undersold; but they will under-sole every

pocket books. From the cheapest to the finest, all grades are
complete.
