The Sumter Graded School.
The board of Commissioners for the City
Graded School held its meeting, on Monday
night last, to select a corps of teachers for
the ensuing scholastic yfear.
A compliment was paid to the choice of
the preceding year by tie re-election of the
same teachers ; adding to the list the name of
Mist Virginia Ingram, whose experience and
skill will prove a valuable acquisition.
There is no reason why the school should
not?and we believe it will?prove a grand
success.
This is an enterprise hat above all others
sboald by no means be suffered to decline in )
interest. The city has given full counten
ar ce and support to the measure, and the
patronage of the peopl-s all that could *e
expected. We would regret to believe that j
there is any organized opposition to this, or
any other institution of learning in Sumter. I
Those charged with the execution of the same, i
will sot leave any effort unexpended, in order ;
that the bcilding may be ready at the earliest ;
possible moment. So mote it be.
... City Improvements.
On Main St. we are pleased to note the
handiwork of the arttsai, in beautifying the
city. The Messrs. Lev! Eros, bave had their
store rspainted, adding greatly to the appear
ance of the establishment.
The store of the Messrs. Schwartz Bros, is
undergoing the renovating influences of brush
and paint, on Main St. That is right gentle
man 1 Pass the word down the line ; and
when the fall trade opens, the city of So rater
will be, indeed, like a smiling belle, ready to
receive her beaux.
The Monagban Block of handsome build
ings is rapidly rearing its lofty head, and
taking place, again, in the busy mart of trade.
Mr. 0'Donne)1 r put ng the work vigo
rously at fiisst. .antk Belitzer. It
is one that will the passer by when
completed.
Messrs. Sehwerin & Co., will occupy Capt.
Raid's new store on the corner of Main and
Republican Streets, now nearly ready for oc
cupation. The Sumter Light Infantry will
occupy the upper story as an armory. The
store adjoining, is being built by Mr. Antho
ny White and is also rearing completion.
The second story of thi? store will be used,
as an office by the Sumter Advance. These
edifices do great credit to architects and
builders, while the magic hand of the painter
has not been slow to adorn and beautify.

Death.
Information has beea received, that Dr.
Stephen H Miller, an old citizen of Sumter
county, died at bis residence near Lynchburg,
on last Sunday night. He married a Miss
Fraser, who proceeded him to the grave a
few years ago. Dr. Miller was once a Bap
tist preacher, but, afterward, became a prac
ticing physician.
Mr. Willie Wilkinson, of Columbia, died at
Bishopv?lle a few days age of typhoid fever.
Mr. Hamilton Boykin, the promising young

Monday at bis maternal oncle'8, Mr. Hamilton
Boykin, of Kersbaw Coanty. He had been
living at Clifton, S. C, and having con
tracted typhoid fever there, was removed,
but the fatal malady could not be arrested,
and bis young life was bronght to a close.
Poisoced With Laudanum.
On-last Friday evening, the town of Man
ning was startled, and deeply pained, to
learn that the beautiful little daughter of
Mr. Aaron Weinberg, aged about three years,
bad been poisoned accideoMy, by mistaking
laudanum for some other medicine. Dr. W.
S Pack? who administered the fatal drag,
did everything in his power??'ded by Dr.
S.*C. C. Richardson?to sare the little one;
but about nine o'clock P. M., the same eight,
ahe passed into'the sleep of death. Tuesday
morning last, accompanied by some friends
and relatives, the body was carried to the
city of Sumter, and interred in the Jewish
Cemetery.
It was, indeed, a sad mishap, and one that
should warn all persons who hold human
life in their hands to be ever on the alert.

Sumter.
It will do a lire man much good to take
a trip to this beautiful little city, asd see
bow the busy bees are toiling hard to make
their hive a pleasant and profitable one; and
indeed they are succeeding admirably, and
we hope that the surrounding town3 will
catch the fever and go forward like Samter.
In some respects Sumter is the magic city of
the State, and it affords ns great pleasure to
say a word in behalf of her people, as we
like to praise true merit at all times. We
doubt if the citizens of this city realize them
selves how much they have done in the past
two years, and we doubt if there is a city in
the South that has made as great progress as
Samter when we take into consideration the
limited capital on which all her progress has
been made.
We would like to point out some of the
many ndvantages that Sumter possesses for
the investor and settler but want of space
forbids.?Summerton Star, 19fb.
