Edmunds per? formed the ceremony at half past 8 o'clock vesterday evening in the presence of the family and friends of the young couple. There were no cards.' Mr. and Mrs. Shaw will probably spend their honey-mooo in the countv. We beg to be allowed to extend our ! best wishes along with other friends for their j happiness. Last night far away in that great Western Metropolis, Ghicago, at the home of tbe bride's parents, Mr. Mitch Levi of this city, was united in marriage to Miss Kstella D'Ancona. of ChWgo;. Several telegrams of congrat ular tion and good wishes were, sent to the happy couple from their trieods'in Sumter. In Apopka, Florida, Sunday, Dec. 21, at 10 a. m., at the residence of Capt. D?"C. Shaw, by Rev. Tv A. Johnson, W. A. Johnson and Misa M. Alice Shaw. Capt, and Mrs. Shaw, parents of the bride, are from this county, and removed to Florida about 20 years ago. The Statesrille, N. -C, Landmark, of Dec. 25th, published the following account of the marriage of Dr. Len. W bite : - An event in which the community had for weeks in advance taken a lively interest, was; celebrated at the Presby terian church at 8 30 o'clock Tuesday evening: the marriage of Dr. Leonard White, of Charlotte, formerly of Sumter, S. C-, and Miss Katie K , daughter of Rev. Dr. Wm. A. Wood; of Stetesville. The popularity of tbe bride, her father, and the family, was the basis of this interest, whichmanife^ed itself by such a gathering .as is hot often seen on similar occasions among us. The body of the Church, the gallery and vestibule were fiHed three quar ters of aa hour before the-time appointed for 'the ceremony, and tbe crowd overflowed into the yard and as many as could find space peeped, in at tbewindows.-"The wait afforded an opportunity for taking "in the decorations, wh?ch^reTaileftr'atf? quite elaborate. The pu.pit was banked" with . flowers and everr greens. From the* arch in It-was suspended a W and from the^waH on the right band side of tbe pulpit stood,out >n evergreen, the figure of a fwr-leaved clover. The bridal party was prompt. A few minutes before the appointed hour the carriages rolled up to tbe. Church door and it was exactly 8 30 when the ?ld North State Orchestra, (Miss Louise Hail, organ accompanist, ). struck the first note of the wedding march and tbe party pro ceeded slowly np the ailes, crossing in front of the pulpit. The bride-to be. brought up the rear, leaning on tbe arm of her brother, Mr. James H. Wood, who gave her away. Mr. Anthony White, of Sumter, brother of tbe groom, was his best man ; Miss Belle M. Wood, sister of the bride, was her maid of honor; Misses Gertrude Wood and Lucy Martin were the flower girls, and were fol 1 owed by the-attendants of honor, the Misses Blanche Bwrriji, Marianne Wood, Bertha Eliason and Carrie Wood, of Statesville, An nie Rankin and AlHeMcGil vary, of Charlotte, Emma Elliott, of Catawba Spring, and Mary Martin, of Davidson College. The ushers were Messrs. Wm. White and Asbby Dick, of Sumter,- Dr. Wm. Mar?in, of Davidson Col lege, and Mr. R H/Holland, of Charlotte. Tlie see?ie^under the ?Jectne' light was a very beam lifu! one, ami alt ?y<9- f??st?rd npon the display ?f female loveliness" which the occa sion called forth The father of the bride, tbe bvloved pastor of tlie Church, pronounced the bans, and the party left tbe church to the sweet music of ihe orchestra and organ. It was entertained afterwards at the home of the bride, where refreshments were served, and yesterday morning Dr. and Mrs. White"left for a visit to his relatives in Sumter, a thous and benedictions npon their beads. The -bridal presents were many, some of them very handsome, nearly all of them useful and notable among the viands spread before the company, at the house was an elaborately dec orated wedding cake, the handiwork and the heart and band offering of Mrs. C. A. Carlton. Dird on Crristmns Eve, of membranous croup after a brief illness, Clinton, aged 15 months, a little son of Mr. R. W. Bradham of onreity.

After a roaring trade extending over several weeks, our merchant* were glad on Christmas day to close their doors and give themselves and their clerks a holiday. Tbe fun, how ever, began on Christmas Eve, when tbe streets were crowded with merry-makers, and the air ablaze with 6-eworks. In the midst Of the racket, tbe Novelty Book " St?re, through their deputy Santa Claus, Julius A. Schwerin, t>ent off, very successfully, a bal loon, to the great delight of the juveniles and many of their elders. Tbe row went on near ly all night, oniy to recommence with renew ed vigor next morning. ' Everybody was in a good humor, as nefiited the day* except a tew unfortunates who, having imbibed too freely of tanglefoot, found their way to tbe calaboose, where they were generously allowd to cool off, the city charging only a moderate fee for their entertainment. There was service at the Church of tbe Holy Comforter at 11 o'clock A. M.t tbe Holy Communion being celebraud and a sermon delivered by tbe rec tor, suitable to the day. The attendance was not so large as it should have been, but those who were present enjoyed the bright service in the pretty decorated sanctuary. Many of the young men took advantage of their holi ! day to visit friends in the country and city, I aad many a turkey' disappeared forever from j the scene during tbe festivities of the occasion, j Theebiidren had agiotions time, and wished a thai Christmas would come at .least once-a I week, for an indeGnite period. We are glad ? to chronicle the fact that there was no vio ] leaee anywhere, aod only one or two at jj tempted breaches of the peace on the day set ? apart ior the celebration of the glad tidings I -"Peace en earth, and goodwill among men." A Slight Fire. <@n Monday night about II 30 o'clock the ery of "fire" in the southwestern portion of tie city aroused the sleepers and startled the I late ?tiers op. fa a few minutes tbe fire B ibeK began ite ciaiBor and clangor, adding - Io the racket. To the loud accompaniment of the bell, the shrill whistlings of an g-engine on ike railroad yard were added, and ! * eeamknotts stream of humanity poured down Maw and Sinter -streets in the direc tion of the fire, ft was soon ascertained, however, that there was no great cause for alarm?the httraiag structure being only a pig$eu, or*cow shed, or something of the sort. But there is a moral to be drawn from this true story, which is this : that this city oeeds j more adequate pofcovng than the present force can possibly give it. There ought to be at least six policemen, half of them on duty at a time, tv o on tke street, and on*mounted, whose duty it should be to ride all over town during tise hours of night, from 9 p. m. until 3 a.m. ff we bad such an inspection going ou every night and all night, in case a fire should break out, the alarm could be 1 altcon immediately given, and there would j be some chance of arresting the fire before the house in which it originated hcrot down. Sut now, when a fire occurs at any distance from the main portion of the city, it ?s almost always-beyond control before the ecgiaes get half-way to tbe place. Best of ail, however, would he the paid department, ae outline of wbieh we sketched a few weeks age. ?Gentle men of the City Couaeil, give us a good fire department 1 Those Street Crossings. Another speU of rainy weather, during which we had to move about considerably, impressed us more deeidy thao e?er with the idea of 'the importance of proper street cross ings. To see daiet?y dad ladies hogging half way op to their boot-4eps kt trying to cross the streets, made ne blush to think of tbe condition of our crossings, aod gave great point to tbe comment we beard made by a visiting beauty ' to a resident. She wanted to know if Sumter was not a city. The resident gleefully and proudly informed her that it was. Sarcastically laughing, she declared that she bad been in waoy cities, but she never had seen one where secb awfully poor street crossings existed, aod, caliiog tbe name of a very small village not more than fifty miles away, she affirmed that better crossings were laid there than here. In fact, she went oo to say that what Sumter people called crossings were only such by courtesy, aod in her opinion, Sa m ter should either provide tbe conveniences which other cities have, or else should drop the ambitious title, and be con tent to remain only a village until such time as it was ready to provide street crossings worthy, of a city. Tbe resident's gun was completely spiked by this time, and like the boy that the calf ran over, be had nothing to say. Our conscript fathers bad better look out. If they get the ladies down on them, they will surely suffer. We suggest that they at least make inquiry as to the cost of a hundred granite blocks suitable to such a purpose, aod if they find it will not impair the city's finances materially, tbat they give us some dry crossings aloug our streets. The School Bonds Floated. We learn that tbe Trustees of tbe Enston Home, in Charleston, have agreed to take ten thousand dollars of tbe bonds of the School District of the City of Sumter. The price agreed upon is tbe par value of the face of the bonds. The trade, it is understood, will be closed in a day or two, and the Board of School Commissioners will then be in a posi tion to set about erecting the long-looked-for public school building. We congratulate tbe Board on tbe accomplishment of their wishes, and hope soon to see tbe building going op. It is understood, also, that through theefforts of tbe Hon. Altamont Moses principally, was tbe sale of the Bonds effected. Better Arrangements Needed. Business has called us several times lately to tbe Coast Line passenger station, about 6 30 o'clock P. M. ? moderate estimate of the number of people on any one of these oc casions in the station house and on tbe plat form would be from a hundred to a hundred and fifty, of whom one-half were there legit imately, while the other half consisted of loaf ers and bummers. People getting on and off the trains are hustled and jostled in a most exasperating fashion by those who bave no business being there, while everything is in a state of tremendous confusion. We respectfully suggest to Jhe railway an-. tborities that the whole difficulty could be obviated by the erection of a fence, around tbe station, and a gateway, at which a man should be stationed with orders to admit no one not having business'there, either passen gers, or those expecting friends, or those whose friends are going off. This is the way it is managed in other places of importance, and we do not see why it is not done so io this place. This is a reform which the authorities can readily institute if they see fit, involving very little expense,- and adding immensely to tbe comfort and convenience of their patrons. Death or Capt. George D. Wallace. Capt. George D. Wallace, a brother of our townsman, CoJ.R: M Wallace, President of The Simonds National Bank, was kiiled at Porcupine Greek, Nebraska, day before yester day while Coi. Forsytbe's troops were dis arming Big Foot's Warriors. We clip the fol lowing account of the battle from the despatch to tbe News and Courier : Col. Forsytbe ordered all the Indians to come forward from tbe teots. They came and sat in a half circle till counted. Dis mounted troops were then thrown around, Company K, Capt. Wallace, and Company B, Capt. Yarnum. The order was then given to, twenty Indians to go and get their guns Upon returning it was seen that ouly two guns were had. The detachment at once began to search tbe village, resulting in thirty-eight puns being found. As this was about completed the In dians, surrounded by Companies K. aod B , began to move. All of a sudden they threw their hands to the ground and h??gan firing rapidly at tbe troops, not twenty feet away. Tbe troops were at great disadvantage, fear ing the shooting of our own comrades. Th<* Indians, men, women and children, then ran to the South of the battery, firing as they ran Soon mounted troops were after them, shoot hag them down on every side. Tbe engagement lasted fully an hour and a half. To the South many took refuge in a ravine, from which it was difficult to dislodge the n. It is estimated that the soldiers killed and wounded number at.out fifty. Just now it is impossible to state the exact number of dead Indian*. There a?e, many more than fifty, however, killed outfigh t. The soldi-rs are shooting Indians down where found, no quarter be given by anyone. Cipt VVsilace, K. troop, 7ih cavalry, was killed and Lieut. Gariington, of Arctic fame, ! 8t ot through tbe arm at the elbow Troops ae still firing and pursuing tbe enemy in j every direction. To say it was a most daring feat, one hun dred and twenty Indians attacking five hun dred, cavalry, expresses tbe situation but faintly. It could only have been insanity which prompted such a deed. It is doubted that if before night either buck or squaw out of all Big Foot's band will be left to tell tbe j tale of this day's treachery, j Tbe members of the 7th cavalry have once more 6hown themselves to he heroes in deeds of daring Single-banded conflicts were seen all over the field. The death of Capt. Wallace causes much regret. The pocr fellow met his death by a blow on tbe bead from a war club. Full particulars cannot be given until some time to morrow. Capt. Wallace, who was killed as above described, was born June 29. 1849 ; graduated at West Poiut, class of 1872, appointed 1st lieutenant June 26, 1876, and captain Sep tem her 23, 1885. .Capt. Wallace was married eight years ago and his wife and child survive him. Col. Wallace heard of his brother's death in Sum ter last night and was requested in the telegram notifying him of the death to come after the remains This vacancy will make Lieut Gariington captain. It is of interest to know that Capt. Wallace was oue of the survivors of Ouster's massacre, his command being that portion of the regiment which fought behind tbe bodies of dead comrades and horses for thirty-six hours, and then cut their way out through Sitting Bull's forces. Lieut. Gariington. who was wouoded, is also a South Carolinian and is well known Col R M. Wallace left the City yesterday en route to Kansas, where he will meet the re mains of bis brother. They will be interred In tbe family grave yard at Yorkvl 11s. I Death of Simon Pierson. Simon Pearson, well known in this city and throughout tbe county, died at bis home here on last Sunday evening about 10 o'clock On the Sunday previous be was walking over tbe frame of a Small building he was erecting in bis yard when ooe of the joists on which he was standing turned and be fell heavily against it. Tbe blow caused internal in juries and he lingered until the following Sunday when death came to relieve him from his sufferings which were intense. Simon was born near Providence, in this County, sometime about the }ear 1840. He moved to Snmter about 1870 and bas lived here ever since. He used to belong to Mr. Jos. Bell, a former resident of this town. Simon Pearson was in some respects a very remarkable negro. He excelled in two arts? painting and music. At an early age he evinced a pHssion for playing on the violin. Later in life, be organized a string band, in which be was the leader. Placing the first violin in this capacity. Simon was known throughout the adjoining counties and we believe beyond tbe State lines. In dance music he had no superior. We have heard many good judges, who have danced to Reeve's band and other fine music at tbe State balls, and elsewhere, say that they preferred tc dance by Simon's band. As we write these lines a sigh of regret escapes us for the loss of that music?never to be heard again?to which we first caught tbe steps of tbe entrancing waltz and our mind dwells in a musing musical strain of reflection upon those bright bo>bood dances ol long ago. Simon leaves a widow surviving him but no children. He and his wife have always borne exceptionally good characters. Simon possessed a good physique and very pleasing manners. One might almost imagine that he ptared at tbe dancing school of Mr. Tureeydrop, bis "deportment" was always so excellent. Peace be to you Simon?we shall not soon forget you. ?

Richard Voss, the eminent German poet, has been sent to an Insane asylun at Gratz. He is suffering from brain desease?the bane of this age?brought on by over-work. His recovery is very doubtful. Millions of his fellow-creatures are wrecks to-day from the same cause. To live at high pressure seems the order of the hour. Nature has offered us the remedy. It is at our hand. When ihe system is enervated or run down to the low est ebb of depression, and the myriads of troubles known as nervous affections threaten us, like an oasis in thj desert stands Dr. Westmoreland's Calisaya Tonic. As an ernd icatorof malarial poisons, for chronic head aches, general nervous prostration, nenrnlgia of the face aod stomach, impure blood and chills aod fevers, it is tbe leader of medicines. It is for sale by all druggists aod wholesale by Dr. A. J. China. If you feel weak and all worn out take 'S IRON BITTERS Stateburg Letter. St?tebcrg, Dec. 24, 1890. Tuesday tbe day of Staieburg's grand tou ney dawned clear and bright, on maiden fair and gallant kcigbt. At an early hour tbe tilting ground was filled witb an expectant throng. As the hour of noon approached a glittering array of-gallant Knights led by a handsome Herald, riding a splendid charger, wheeled into line io front of tbe grand stand? a sight that was truly worth seeing'. Almost a summer's sunshine, a southerly wind played witb, and now and then lifted the drooping plumes fro: over the bronzed faces of tbe Knights, stu wing there a determination to do or die. The Herald then gave the names of the Knights and in what order they were to ride, but as their names and the order tbey rode in have already been given in your last issue, I will omit them now. The -costumes were very handsome and becoming. The Prince of Orange, a superb costume of black velvet and old gold, black "chapeau, gold mountings and dark plume. The Unknown Knigbt, a lovely dress, dark green ^v??vet and white, slashed with gold, dark chapeau and plume, gold mountings ; the colors he rode under were white and pkik ; on his lance pennant were ths words Ick dien (I serve.) Tbe Knigbt-of Oakley, a handsome costume pf dark velvet slashed with white, dark cap and white plume. Tbe Knight of Cherry vale, the gallant who won the crown, in a pretty and modest cos tume black velvet and red dark Cbapean, gold mountings and dark plume ; and Sir Knigbt Hassan the Moor, did the grand Turk to per fection. The Knigbt of Clarendon.rode in a costume that is well known and well loved by all true Southern hearts, old confederate, gray. Although be captured butf?w rings, I must say his riding was perfection and his horse faultless. The Cow- Boy of- Wateree .in his simple cow boy dress looked as gallant and handsome as any Knight in all that proud array, and at the crowning he won many smiles from tbe fair sweet lips around him by bis courtly grace and manner. The Stateburg Dude needs no comment he was all that Stateburg wanted bim to be, an idol io the hearts of his people. Altogether the day was quite a success; Herald, Knights, Brass Baud and Babies all did well. Climax. - Ask your Druggist for Sbriner's Indian Vermifuge.
