The crisis of her illness has been safely passed and we hope it will not be long before she is entirely restored to aeaitfa. ^ ^ _ BThere are eight trains passing Sumter dur? ing week days, on the Atlantic Coast Line, going to and from Columbia. Last Moe day was sale day bat no property real or personal that we know of was sold at public auction. There were unusually few cou? try men ia town that day and it is sup? posed they are ali busy with their crops, Mr. J. D. Craig has had his old frame fur? niture warehouse, on the corner of Main and Canal Streets, taken down. In a very- short time in the place of this old and familiar i landmark, will be erected a fine two story brick furniture store. Tho- handsome elevations cf the Sumter Hotel and Masonic Temple that have been submitted are framed and are on exhibition at the Simonds National . Bank. These two spe? cimens i R?strate very &ne looking buildings and will make Sumter look like a city. Not a few of the travellers along the line of ' the Atlantic Coast Line Road were taken un? awares by the change of Schedule last Sun? day afternoon. The train instead of passing Wedgefield at 6 30 p m. came along at 9 45 p. m. Causing a wait of three boors and fif? teen min?tes to- many passengers who were anxious to get to Sumter on time. The subscribers of the Stats at Wedgefield, Snmter and other, points along the line of the A. C. L. are jtfhttaht over the arrival of the Slate now by toe early morning train. There were not many ia oar town wno would go home in the evenings without carrying with them the Suite The old schedule ntossit i ted their staying dows street anti I nearly. 8 t o'clock, anti! the mail was opened aud they r could get the paper, which caused considera? te bte i neon ven ience to a aamher of people. V Mr. John Alexander, of the Phoenix Iron f Works, Columbia, is ia the city to-day. He is bare for tim parp?se of seeing about the iron columns for the store sf Messrs. Ry t ten berg k Sons. Messrs. Rettenberg will put oo aa o thee story to the rear of their store. The partition between the hardware and grocery rooms will be removed and in their place there will be a clothing room. A retail gro? cery will be established in the new portion of toe buirdiag, which will extend io width from Liberty street to Court House Square. All the space ia the second story will be thrown into one large hall. When every- ! i biog is coaapfeied, Messrs. Rytteaberg k Sons wi il ha ve one oftbe finest stores ca the State. Messrs Hafanaa k LeMaster are doing a very neat jab oa Mr. Shaw's botts*, and the material teens to have been selected with grear care. The bosses of Meara. Schwartz, Boseadorf. Langbery and others are also advaactog steadily to completion and will make a very aacdsome addition to the city's pretty residences. Messrs A. J. Chios and J. T. Frierson, are filling up the vacant places atong Repub? lican Street in the vicinity of Dr. Hughsoo's residence with teat and stylish cottages. They will soon be ready for occupation. Mr. Wesfy Bradford's bouse in the West ero portion of the city near Mr. D. J. Winn's will be one of the nicest booses in town. Mr. Bradford will mora his family to Somier ?bea it is completed. Ur. C. T. Mason, Jr., is pursuing the orthodox method of bai ld ing He is proceed? ing slowly bot sorely with the building of ?RS residence oa . Maia Street, Peopis when they undertake to build bouses generally and it an extremely difficult matter to build slowly. Either the contractor bas bis work no arranged that he must do all at one time, or Jont>er comes by fits sod starts-there are always some contretemps, but Messrs. Herby and Mason have evidently prepared them? selves for the enderiaking aad have for some? time been getting their material sod plans ready for werk. Toe coo sequence is the woTWOB their hotw?s 4s progressing slowly, steadily aad carefully aod they will be orna? ments to the town, not ?aly fa point of architecture bot of strength and durability.

LeGrand and Miss Hannah- DeLorme, daughter of the late W. M. DeLorme. Death. Mr. and Mrs. Chis. W. Kingman lost their little girl last Sunday. It bad been ill for sometime and the doctor recoromeuded a change of air. They were taking it for a short visit to Baltimore, and the little one died on the train while they were traveling through Va., near Quantico. Mrs. S. R. Spann, wife of Mr. S. R. Spann, of Rocky Bluff, in this County, and the mother of our popular yonnjr townsman, Mr. F. M. Spaan, of the firm of Belier & Spaan, died last Friday eveuing at her home, from a stroke of ^ralysis received the preceding Tuesday. The funeral services were held at the; Concord Church last Saturday afternoon. We are pained to learn of the sudden death of little Honora, the beautiful child of Mr. and Mrs. H. 0. Strohecker. Mrs. Strohecker ! was Miss Annie, the oldest daughter of Capt. E. Scott Carson, who went down to Charles? ton yesterday afternoon, in response lo a telegram announcing the sad event. Mr Hemnaa Boltman, son of our esteemed and well known fellow-taw osman, Mr. CF. A. Bultman, died last Friday evening after a prolonged illness, in the 20th year of his age. j We regret to learn of the death o? Mr. R, F. Epperson's little girl, Robbie, last Tues? day at half past 8 o'clock. She was just six years old and was ill only two days. Mr. Epperson bas a baby now so ill that it is not expected to live. He and his afflicted family have the deep sympathy of the community in their loss. Religious. . Last Sunday was an interesting and suc? cessful day at the Methodist Church of our city, Rev. A. J. Stokes, pastor. The day opened with a strong and impressive sermon from Rev. J. Tbos. Pate, of Spring Street Church, Charleston. Mr. Pate went to the South Carolina Conference from this city, and we feel a laudable pride io having contributed such a worthy minister to the Church. After the sermoB the pastor, Rev. A. J. Stokes, baptized three applicants for membership, and received five into foll fellowship in the sim? ple and beautiful ritual of the Church. In the afternoon the attendance upon the Sunday school was large and the services were inter? esting and profitable. A notable feature in tbis Sunday school is the class taught by the pastor composed of all adults who do not belong to any other class, and ail visitors who will participate At night were the exercises of Children's Day. The audience was large and the exer? cises were beautiful and successful, and the collection gratifying. Since the last Conference there have been forty-seven applicants for membership by letter and ritual. The pastor Rev. A. J. Stokes who is much beloved by his congrega? tion is doing a fine work, and the Church is prospering under his administration. Bishop Granbery will preside at the next session of the South Carolina Conference of the M. E. Church, South, to convene at Dar? lington, S. C., on December 2, 1891. The Rev. John Kershaw expects to leave for M illedgeville, Ga., on Friday, where be will deliver the sermon at the commencement of the Middle Georgia Military and Agricultural College. There will be service in his church Sunday morning, conducted by the ?av reader. Mr. Kershaw expects to return in time to hold the usual services on the second Sunday in the month, June 14 ; at which time he will submit to the congregation a plan for raising the means to increase the seating capacity of the church, and f >r other purposes, in view of the meeting of the Convention here next May. A meeting of the congregation of the Pres? byterian church of this city has been called next Sunday week, the 14th inst., for the purpose of electing four additional deacons. The baccalaureate sermon before the Sum? ter las ti Ui te, heretofore advertised to be preached at night, will be delivered at ll o'clock Sunday morning, June 7th, at the Presbyterian Church. The union meeting will be held next Sab? bath evening in the Presbyterian Church. The sermon will be preached by the Rev. H. C. OuBose, D. D., of China. The pubiic will be repaid by turning out en masse. _? Commaneement Season.

A great many people are i inpatient lo see the Graded School building started. Tbe de? lay can readily be explained. Those in charge intend to have a substantial and elegant building and are proceeding with prudence and care in the matter. Col. Tillman Wat? son was awarded the contrast about the 1st of April. This is unfortunate and has so far turned out to bea genuine "April Fool," he not having complied t>y giving the necessary bond or beginning work. Tire bonni notififd him that they would give him until May 22d. On that day a meeting of the Board was held , and a communication from Mr. Watson s*a 1 ?lng that sickness in his family had prevented him" from carrying out his engagements. The board agreed to give him one week lon? ger, but so far nothing has been done by him and the papers have been forwarded to an? other contractor for his estimate. Runaway by the Railroad Com? pany. Mr. Lucas, representing the Land Improve? ment Company of Spartanburg, came here Wednesday, for the purpose of buying three million (3*000,000) feet of lumber, for build? ing factories and mills at Spartanburg. He is Gen'l Manager of the large Iron and Plan? ing Mills. The railroads charged him at the | rate of $3 43 per 1,000 feet, freight. This was en'irely too exhorbitant and Mr. Lucas after j contenting himself with the purchase of 100,000 feet sought another market where the railroads are regulated by competition and not solely by conscience. Attention Voters. Mr. E. P. Sbedd, the supervisor of registra? tion, is in the city the first Monday in every month for the discbarge of his duties, and can be found at his office next to that of the Clerk of court, in the Court House. Mew Delivery Wagon. The Steam Laundry Company does up cuffs, collars, etc., in handsome style, but they will have to do better work now than ever if they expect to have it in keeping with their beautiful new delivery wagon, built from the ground by Messrs. R. W. Brad h am k Co. The running gear is something new, and im? presses the obsei ver at once with its simpli? city, strength, and durability. The body of the wagon is manufactured from our own native woods, and contains two compart? ments ou tbe inside for the clothes besides two seats. It was built and painted throughout by Sumter's own mechanics and reflects great credit on the superior workmanship of Mr. Bradham, and Mr. Alphonse. One 'of Sumter's Energetic Men. General E W. Moise has always been one of the pioneers in Sumter's march of progress, be bas always been most liberal, patriotic and public spirited in everything pertaining to ber good. Io the present impulse that bas been and is still felt in every department of business here, towards progress, General Moise has not been found wanting. He sees Sumter's need for factories, mills and other industries that bring the wage workers and with them the pay rolls and increased trade to the merchants. General Moise speaks favorably of a can? ning factory, and io an interview with the Advance last week, he says, ii one is started here he will pot SI,C00 into it and is ready to put all of bis money into industrial enter? prises that would pay here, and there are many kinds that would pay. Our own peo? ple could start these things if. they would only co-operate, and when once we show our faith in ourselves by making astart we could get all the help we want. Gen. Moise says that the Sumter Cotton Mills onght to be enlarged and looms put in for making cloth, instead of running along as it is now. The trace of the city would consume a large part of the output of the mills. Why should* this not be done. The mills of the up country are constantly adding to their capacity because it pays. It would pay here Gen. Moise was once connected with the Phoenix Milis of Columbus Ga., which are now probably the largest in the Southern States, he was the civil engineer who built tbe splen? did dam across the river at that place. He also said that in the near future he expects to greatly enlarge and otherwise improve the Jervey House and make a splendid house out of it. The City Park. Tbe City Council gave W. H. Ingram, Esq.. an attentive bearing in the matter of his offer of 30 ?cres of the Richardson place for a park. The Council appointed Messrs Delgar and Pierson a committee to look into, the mat? ter aud after investigation, report as to cost, etc. These gentlemen know a good thing when they see it, and we may hope soon to have a nice smooth drive to a very delightful retreat in the afternoons. The New Hotel. . At the meeting, advertised tor the 28ih, of the stockholders of the Sumter Hotel, it was resolved on motion of R. D. Lee, Esq., to postpone the increase of the capital stock until July 28th, and that pending this action the Directors be directed to call for 20 percent, of the capital stock already subscribed. A report was also submitted by the Com? mittee on correspondence that plans and pre? liminary sketches bad been received. We have seen the one submitted by Mr. Todd, of Augusta, and it is extremely handsome and imposing looking, and withal has au airy, comfortable and inviting exterior. More Room for Harby's Vehicles. Mr. Horace Harby is now engaged in ma? king extensive improvements and additions to his carriage and buggy repository on Lib? erty street. The increase in his trade in ve? hicles bas been something great; he .had to have more room, and the enlargement of bis warehouse was a matter of necessity. Mr Harby has also bad made in the front part of this building qnite a model harness room, very unique in every respect. - - -Ol -i - Wire Pullers. Last Friday afternoon Messrs. Geo. D. Shore and Clifton Dinkins came very near meeting with a serious accident. They were riding down Republican Street towards Main, and when at a point just opposite one of Dr. China's new cottages, Mr. Dinkins' horse which was a little in advance of Shore's came in contact wiib the telephone wires that had been lowered, and were banging in a slackened shape along the side of tbe street. The horse becoming entangled, plunged and kicked ia a violent manner, until be finally tripped up and fell, throwing Mr. Dinkins with considerable force against the sidewalk. As soon as the horse recovered its feet, he jumped the paling fence nearly four feet high next Mr. Morris' house aod galloped across Monumental Square. Mr Shore's horse also came in for a share of the entanglement and became almost unmanageable. Mr. Dinkins was somewhat bruised but beyond that sus? tained no serious injury. Excursion to Darlington. Our notice of the excursion to Darlington last Thursday was crowded out. It was arranged and gotten up t.y Mr. L. A. Burnett for the laudable purpose of aiding in raising additional funds for the purchase of an organ for the Methodist Church. The ladies of the church have been z?alously working for a long time to raise the necessary amount of the purchase money of a pipe organ. This was the initial excursiou over that portion of the line of the C. S. k N. Rai road and a large party availed themselves of the pleasure afforded. Q lite a substantial sum was realized. Heavy Hail, Storm. The storm which visited Sumter last Satur? day tvening was quite general, extending over a considerable section. Below Wedge? field, in the Privateer neighborhood, tbe bail from ail accounts must have been something terrific. The young cotton has been com? pletely stripped and the corn in most places tom and split into threads. A sample stalk was brought to Wedgefield from Mr. Mat Ramsey's place for the inspection of Mr. Peter Mellett, the party desiring to get his opinion as to whether it would not be better for him to plow up and plaut over. Some farmers are running a furrow between the shattered remnants of the old rows and hope that if the old crop is completely lost they will have a new stand ready. - mmm . - ll Pythian Pic Nie Gamecock Lodge, Nb. 17, Knights of Pythias, will give a basket pic nie, June IC h. at Eutaw Springs.

It is just as impor? tant to you and to the boy that his taste be properly educated, as it is that he is given lessons in grammar. There isn't much difference between the cost of dressing him well and the expense of attiring him in clothes that no boy can take pride in. You certainly can have no reason for hesitating while we are offering BOY'S Knee Pants Snits, FROH 90c. to $6.00. Boy's Extra Knee Pants, 25c. to #1.50. Respectfully, ni k wm Sumter, J?. C. May 29.
