The marriage cere? mony was performed by Rev. C. C. Brown of Sumter, at ? o'clock as previously announced. Hr. D. W. Cottino and Miss Lizzie Cuttino, of Sumter, were among the attendants. The Manning Times publ.shes a long list of very handsome and useful presen ts received by tbe j happy couple, and from all accounts the mar? riage was quite a charming event in the society circles of Summerton. Death. .Hrs. Hazer, mother of the late Capt. Jno. Haxey, died last night at the home of her son in-law, Rev. Cuttino Smith, near Mayesville. She was advanced in years, and had been in ; feeble health, and also suffering from the prevailing epidemic of colds A despatch to the Sunday News from Ninety Six, S. C., February 7, says : Hrs. Hattie Lou ?tsey died at 12.30 A. H. ! She was the wife of Col. W. B. ?tsey and tbe daughter of Tho?. C. Lipscomb, long a very prominent citizen of this town. She was remarkable for the beauty of her person, the purity of her domestic and social virtues and exalted Christian charity. Her death is a terrible blow to her devoted husband, ber affectionate father, brothers and sisters, and is keenly felt as a personal loss to every member of our community. This affliction is the more acutely felt, as her death follows so I closely the death of their only child. Religious. Th? special Lenten services to be held in the Church of the Holy Comforter, Sumter, are, for this week, as follows : Ash Wednesday, ll a. m., full service with sermon and Holy Communion.

Reserved seats now on sale. The News and Conner of this morning says of the performance in that city by Hiss Gelatin's company last night : Las? night "As yon Like It" was presented to a good audience. This -company has a very floe conception of this charming piece and performs it very acceptably. Hiss Galiatin makes as attractive and spirited i Rosalind. She has a perfect conception of the ? role, and with ber rich voice and graceful manner assumes the character with credit. I Ia the serions parts she shows her skill to the best advantage. She was accorded frequent and generous applause, and showed her appreciation of Charleston's kindness by ber bright smile and the heartiness with which she responded to the frequent calls. The support of Hiss Galiatin is very good. Mr. Creston Clarke made an-excellent Orlando, Hiss Berta Stlvermann, as Phoebe, was very Fire. Aboat half-past six o'clock yesterday even? ing, the alarm of S re was sounded, and the people and fire companies started in full ca? reer for Carr's lumber mill, whence the smoke proceeded. There was not much damage done, the shed over the engine only having been destroyed. Perhaps the top of the hook and ladder track did almost as much harm to the awning frame in front of the bank as was done at the fire. Joye-ful News. New Grocery Store in Sumter.

Our friends and patrons will remember that the Watchman and Southron is now on its own ground, on Liberty street, opposite the Fire Engine House. ^?? i Justice Delayed. Io onr last issue were published a few extracts from the press of the State, which were disparaging to Mr H. R. Thomas, the new appointee of Gov. Tillman as a member of the Railroad Commission. At the same time we intended printing a letter written to the Colombia Record defining Mr Thomas, but the paper was misplaced, and we were nuable to give the article as we desired. A copy bas been written for, and if obtained it will be published in next week's issue. m^m % ? i-? Arrested for Forgery. Wm P. Durant, formerly a postmaster at Manning, was arrested on 6th February, on a charge of forgery. Sometime ago E. H. Deas, deputy collector, signed a letter of credit to Parrish k Company, a Philadelphia firm, for $40 in favor of Durant who was then teach? ing in the free school at Concord, and want? ing to buy books. At the time of signing the letter Deas filled out all the blanks in tbe let* ter in pencil. It now shows changes through* ont in pen and ink, alleged to have been done by Durant. Tbe amount of the credit is also changed to $75 00. The defendant waived the preliminary nearing, and in default of $500 bond, required by the Trial Justice, bas been committed to jul. He is represented by Col. Jos. H. Earle. Water Works. Since our last issue tbe city & uneil has held a meeting and took under consideration, first, the water works contract. This bas now been fully and 6o?lly agreed upon and the contract with H. O. Reed of New York confirmed, lt provides for tbe sinking of an artesian well to a depth of at least 500 feet, which is to supply chemically pure water to the city ; fifty fire hydrants, to be laid along five miles of main, (mains to be laid on the principal business streets) under the direction of the City Council. Ample provision is thus made for furnishing the school buildings, the market, City Hall and other public build? ings. In addition to this, the parties further contract to furnish fonr drinking fountains to to be located as therein directed, as well as water for sprinkling the streets, the last being provided in consideration that no special license be imposed opon the City Water Works Company. The contract calls for the commencement of work by the company within 90 days from the execution of the same, and the work must be completed in nioe months after it is commenced. A Handsome Present. On Monday afternoon, as Maj. W. F. B. Haynswortb was quietly seated in his law of? fice writing, a servant stepped in and present? ed him a note from Colin C. Manning, Esq., of this city. We do not know what the con? tents of tbe note were, but we saw a fine horse and new buggy standing in front of the office. It proved to be a present to the Major from Mr. Manning and bis sister, Mrs. David B. Williams, of Camden The horse was sent down across the country from Camden on Monday morning, and was taken around to W. H. Graham's stables where ha was pot into a new set of harness, hitched to a handsome phaeton and driven to Hr. Haynswortb's office. Tbe horse is a beautiful one, driven by the late ex-Governor Manning shortly before bis death. It is said that "beauty provoketb thieves." The Major had therefore best keep a close watch oo Ibis preseot lest the same fate befalls it as in tbe case of the beautiful w%tcb given bim, which was stolen sometime ago, aad which he has never recovered. McCaflerty's Horse Sale. On Tuesday, February 17th, Charles Mccafferty, the well known horse man will be in Sumter and have a sale of horses io bis usual way. He hopes to have a good attend? ance of those who want stock. ?* Grippe, colds and bad weather are preval* ent at Stateborg. Nearly $6,000 stock io the Masonic Temple Company has been subscribed. Mr. H. A. Rogers, who lives just on the other side of Pocataligo swamp, bad the top ! of his bouses blown off during a high wind on ! Sunday afternoon, the 1st instant. Those Belgian Blocks. We now hear a great deal of general eussion every day about tbe advis>;bilit paving certain portion? of the principal sti of the city. The people want Belgian bli on Main street. When they say Belgian I mean Belgian-tbat is rongb, square gre blocks, which when properly laid make a t smooth hard street, which is neither bogg rainy weather nor dost? io dry, and is \ ranted to last a lifetime. Next week we peet to have something more to say on tbi? important and absorbing topic. A meei of the citizens of the town should be ca at once to take action tn the matter. In meantime, to get the sense of some ot the U ing merchants and business men of the citj the subject, we submitted the following questions to them yesterday, and have appe their answers. 1. Have you heard any discussion ami the business men of the city relative to par the principal streets ? 2. Assuming that you see the necessity some improvement to be made, what do ; suggest as the test method of meeting the maud of the aitoatioo ? 3. If Belgian blocks could be laid at a < not exceeding $6.000 a mile, would you willing to have the city issue $10,000 in bo to pave Main street from the depot to Presbyierian Church and Liberty street fr the C S. and N. R. R. to the Roman Car hi Church? Hon. Altamont Hoses : To the 1st, "Hi heard it commented on favorably by nearly the business men. 2d. I think that Main street should paved from the Coast Line depot to the Fresl terian Church and Liberty, from the C. S N. R. R. to the Roman Catholic Church. T will take in and benefit not only the mero tile establishments, bot all the white churc! iud many private residences. 3d. If the Council see no other way meet tho expense, I am in favor of issui the bonds, but It seems to me that for so sm in amount the city might have on hand I necessary funds." To the 1st, O'Donnell k Co., answer : "1 tiave ; and have beard no objection to it. 2d. If the blocks can be laid at a cost 56,000 or $7,000 a mile, we ara heartily Favor of it. 3d. If necessary to issue the bonds, weare favor of an election being held as soon as p< sible for tbe purpose. The city only ow ibout $7,000 at present. Tbe matter of pt ing streets is an absolute necessity. To s nothing of the accumulation of mad on 1 streets, it costs us to water that portion of t street in front of our store $20 annually keep down the dust." Messrs. Browns k Purdy answer to Ut i terrogatory : "We have beard some disct sion on the subject by some of the bugin* men of the city. ?SA. We think the best plan of procedu would be, after a thorough explanation ai canvass of the subject to submit the same tc rote upon the question of issuing bonds st Scient to cover amount necessary to be rai? to complete the streets as above stated ai -Uso to include a system of sewerage, whi will be s u rel y necessary." Messrs. Rettenberg k Sons: 1st. "Ha beard oo discussion, but think it very mu* needed. 2d. Having the town issue bonds. 3d. Tes, and think it one of the best thin? they could do." Mr. C. F. A. Bultman, of Bultman k Bro bas long thought the city bas spent moot and labor uselessly, and that the prop method, at least is to pave the two stree above mentioned between the points namei at a cost of $6,000 or $7,000 a mile. Mr. Ernest Bultman, of Ducker & Bultmai is of the same opinion. Mr. A. White says bond the etty for $20 000 if necessary and save this present usele expense. It will help Sumter as moch c more than anything else. E. P. Ricker k Co., are tn favor of pavin Main street, at ?east, between the Coast Lil depot and the Jervey House aod advocate tr issue of bonds for the necessary amount f once If the cash is not in the City Treasury. Capt. John Reid, who ts strictly constrvi tire, says by all means Main street at leas should be paved with granite blocks, froi the Coast Line depot to the Jervey Hote He is of the opinion that the city should pa cash for it, but in consideration of it amount expended by them, under the preset system, to so little purpose, if necessary be i not opposed to their issuing bonds to tt amount of $6.600, provided it be applied t paving Main street between the points namec Mr. B. J. Barnett says ssmethiog ougr. certainly to be done. He doesn't see ho' street cars are going to navigate through e much mud. Mr. W. M. Graham thinks it is very nee* sary and ought to be done even if the cit has to contract a debt in the matter. Tba drainage at tbe same time should be perfecte as much .ns possible on Main street. ----- The County Commissioners. The Boord of County Commissioners rn? at one o'clock yesterday and "ransactei routine business. Mr. J K. Brown, one o tbe members of tbe Board is confided at hom seriously sick with LaGrippr. The conditioi of the roads was considered by the Board but they came to the conclusion that nothini could be done until the water permits then to be worked according to law. - 'll Bun Away on Main Street. On Mo day afternoon people collected ot Main Street were thrown into a fearful stat of anxiety and consternation at tbe sight of t horse, maddened with fright, dashing up th street with a lady and baby in a buggy. Th lady was Mrs. Walter I. Harby and th* baby a little girl of Mrs. Levy. Mrs. Levy an< Mrs. Harby were standing on Main Street ii front of tbe store of Messrs. Ryttenberg J Sons, talking to Mr. H. Ryttenberg, when Mr Perry Moses drove up with the horse and bug gy and asked the ladies to get in and drivi themselves to bis house at which place thej were staying. Mrs. Levy preferred to walk a: she bad some shopping to do, and Mrs. Harbj got into the boggy with the child. She hac hardly taken ber seat and the reins when th< horse without a note of warning jumped off He was soon in a run and the people be gan to fear for the safety of the woman anc tbechild. The first thought of the brave lad v was for the child, which she clasped closely to ber, and attempted with her other hand tc guide the horse. As they were passing thc Court House Mr. Colin C. Manning made a dash for them and caught one rein, but thc shaft of the buggy struck his arm, breaking bis bold aod threw him against the wheel. The horse tore on faster than ever, and appeared to be veering towards the sidewalk io front of Kennedy's book store. The electric light post at Cardarelli's corner was only a few yards in front, and they were making directly towards it. It seemed at ihis awful moment that only a miracle could save them, and the miracle was a mulei standing pla? cidly near the sidewalk io ftont of the store with its colored owner astride of bim seated on the time-honored, crocus bag. Tbe mule did not seem to realize the situation, and the darkey hadn't time to make bim shun the shock. Foll and fair tbe shaft struck the animal on the shoulder, throwing man and mule down upon the sidewalk ; but tbe black brute ran on to the other side. This time Henry McKagen grasped one of the reins and swung on like a young hero, and Mr. R D. Lee rushing to the rescue, succeeded in stopping the horse before he reached the pump in front of the barber's shop. .Major Haynswcrth's new buggy being near by, Mrs. Harby, whose nerves were somewhat shaken, was put into it and driven borne. The damage done to the man and mule was only a hole in the shoulder of the latter, which having Leen properly cared for is now doing we|l. .???.? m Death and Desertion. Ben Mickerson, an old colored man about 65 years old, who lived on the Foxworth place in the north west portion of the city died about noon last Thursday. As the old man was in a destitute condition his cousin John Mickerson applied to the Chief of Police, Weeks, for money. Mr. Weeks consented 'o furnish the coffin on behalf of the city ?f his relations and friends would bear the othT expenses connected with the funeral. After purchasing the coffin and turning it over to him, the chief heard no more of the matter, until it was reported to bim a day or two afterwards that ihe colored people had dug the grave at the colored cemetery and put the body of the old man in the coffin and had actually carried the coffin containing the body within one hundred and fifty yards of the grave and then left it lying out aH night exposed to the rain until 2 o'clock on Satur? day. Mr. Weeks went immediately to the spot and bad tbe remains decently and pro? perly interred at the entire expense of >he city. The only apparent reason for this unfeeling conduct on the part of tbe people, who under? took to look after the matter, is that il being late io tbe evening when they neared the cemetery they became frightened and ran away, leaving the corpse. Murderer Caught. Ahrem James, the negro who 9tabhed Bos? ton Gilbert to death in Charleston about two weeks ago WAS arrested at thi:i place this morning by Chief of Police Weeks Chief Weeks, upon information received from Mr. Paul Wright, a journeyman printer who arrived here last Thursday, wired to Charleston fora description of James, which he promptly received. The description of James furnished by the Charleston authorities compared favorably with the ioformation fur? nished by Mr. Wright, and among the marks by which the murderer was identified was "one ear bored for a ring." James, when ar? rested, confessed to having stabbed Gilbert, and asked if be was dead. He was working at Mr. Carr's lumber yard when the Chief came up, and though appearing greatly sur? prised, be made no resistance. Chief Weeks is a shrewd and efficient officer, and thieves and murderers will not find Sumter an harbor of safety during his terra of office. Machine Sbop and Iron Foundry. Mr. J. I. Brun8on, who, for years con? ducted a blacksmith and horse-shoeing busi? ness here, but who h*s lately resided io Geor? gia, has returned to tbe city. He bas formed a partnership with Mr. W. R Branson under the firm name of W. E. & J. I. Brimson, for the purpose of conducting a machine shop and iron foundry. We welcome the new enterprise and wish it success. We learn that their machinery id now on the road. A delicate child is more subject to worms tbttn a healthy one, as ia the economy of nature one animal is made to subsist upon another, and the weaker goes down. At the first indication of worms administer Sbriner's Indian Vermifuge, the infallible remedy. When you are constipated, have headache, or loss of appetite, take Dr. J. H. McLean's Liver and Kidney Pillets ; they are pleasant to take and will cure you. vjanl ii - - For Over Fifty Years. Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup has been used for children teething.

No matter what the type, beauty and at tarctiveness of a certain kind can assuredly be cultivated by women through careful at? tention to details. A clear skin, a bright eye, fine teeth, well-kept hands, glossy hair, a good carriage and a firm step are certainly passports of beauty. The mo ie so since they endure when mere bloom has passed away. While these things are being looked after by dentist, hair dresser and macicure, it will be well for my lady to further pursue her efforts. She may be troubled with dyspepsia, may have no appetite, perhaps is generally debili? tated and has no zest for any subject. Per? haps incipient fever has secured a foothold, and lends a hectic flush to the cheek and an unwonted brilliancy to the eye. It will be then tli3 beaut? de diable. The functions must be natural ; and nature's greatest regu? lators are. to be fonud only io Dr. West? moreland's Calisaya Tonic. In malarial sec? tions it is invaluable , and as an anti-periodic ha.* no equal. For sale by all druggists and wholesale bv Dr A. J. China. THE MARKETS. SUMTER, S. C., Feb. ll, 1891.
