The writer had the pleasare of reading a very interesting description of Mr. J. W.

The general health of this community is very good at present, with the exception of one young man, who is suffering severely with dyspepsia. Civis. Jarbeau. Veron a Jarbeau and a superb company of comedians will appear at the Academy of Music on Friday evening, the 15 th instant, in tbe great soccess, "Starlight." A Philadel? phia exchange says: "He who misses seeing and hearing Verona Jar bean in "Starlight," will have matter for future regret. She opens : to-night at Arch Srreet Theatre, ai>d con j tinoes throughout the week. "Starlight" is a string of the brightest and most popular melodies, culled from here, there, and every? where. There is very little dialogue, but j there is plenty of the best sort of singing. Jarbeau herself is generous of ber time and presence. She-simple babbles over with life ! and individuality. From the crown of the head she carries so jauntily, to the toe of the I slipper that sometimes twinkles in mid-air in a manner quite as bewitching BS daring, the characteristic shows itself. She sings Fiencb .ougs, English songs, a topical song, dances with inimitable abandon, and Janghs with an infectiousness tbat no one can resist. Her prettiest bit.of acting is perhaps in the little scene at tbe piano, and her most charming! v rendered song, "Wbere Are You Going, My P -illy Maid?" She has a clever set of peo? ple with ber, and she is not afraid to let them make the most of their opportunities. Improve Your Stock. I have a fine lot of Brown and White Leghorn, Buff Cochins and Black Minorca Cockrels that I wish to dispose of in the next thirty days, and will sell them very much below their value. Tbese birds are from the t>est prize stock and will make a creditable showing at any exhibition. W. B. MURRAY, Sunny Side Poultry Yards. Barley seed, Southern seed Rye, Genuine J R. R. P. o us, at Ducker k Bttltmau's I Teachers' Asssaciation Department. -The editor of this column has, so far,wai>ed in vain for contributions from the members or the Teachers'Association of this county. It was generally understood, I believe, that it should be his duty to read the different contributions and select the most suitable for publication; but so far it has not been a ques? tion of "what," Kut "where"? There can be no selection, if there is nothing from which we can make the selection; no "survival of the fittest," if there is an absence of the germ I hope that the members will exhibit more in? terest in this matter and that there will be a number of contributions for nublication in next week's issue of the Watchman and Southron Our appreciation of the kindness of the editor of this paper, in thus permitting ni to .use itt? columns as a medium of commu? nication and instruction, should, aside from every other inducement, causees to be more zealous in attempting to prove that our as*o ciatioo doe? not cousist.of dead resolvers, bot of live and active workers, verrbum sat sapunti. Our Advertisers Kiogman k Co-Io the last issue of the paper Kingman.Jc.Co. made a change in their advertisement. In the new advertisement they tell ?bou t cut rate prices on all lines of goods, for this reliable and progressive always rise equal to the occasion, and they have cut down prices on account of hard times. Boykin, Carraer A Co. fertilizer manu? factures of Baltimore, Md., advertise their celebrated Home Fertilizer. This fertilizer is op to the highest standard and is too well known to need recommendation by us. It recommends itself, for with it seven-cent cot? ton caa be made at a profit. Rembert k Marshall-Tbe name of the firm of E. E. Rembert'A Co., has been charged, but nothing else about the firm has under? gone a change. They are still doing a rush? ing business at the same place, and with the push and business energy which they display, they are certain to continue to be leaders. See what they hare to say about fertilizers and advances. A3ig Concern. Itts-more than gratifying to note that not? withstanding the severe times through which we have just passed that confidence iii the future of our State is not entirely lest. Six years ago Mr. Edward E. Rembert entered the mercantile business at his home io the western part of this county and bas succeeded in building np an immens* business. Desiring to be nearer a large portion of his patrons, he concluded to establish a bouse in this city, and in connection with Mr. W. Y. L. Marshall;" of Charleston, with whom he formed a partnership, a store was opened here in the past fall-. Notwithstanding that the times hare been very dull, the patronage of this firm hns steadily increased. , ' Mr. Mrsball has now purchased an inter? est in the business at Rembert, and both houses will hereafter be conducted under the firm name of Rembert k Marshall. This is indeeda Strong 6rm? and the men composing it poesesaithe? necessary .wealth, pluck, energy and business ability to build up an immense business. The business will be enlarged to sueh an exient that their patrons can obtain anything from them that may be needed. Ionia Items.

TIGER. ?J- ? ? a TO THE PEOPLE OF SUMTER COUNTY. Having been seated as a member of the State Ex. Committee, after a long contest, I desire to say that it now.be coraes my duty to represent the whole people of Sumter Co., and I will faith? fully endeavor to do so. Our long con? test proves that we had in our County the most bitter campaign in the State; >e fought,, like the "Game Cocks" we are, but every good citizen must feel -that ?hV time has-now come for peace and I beseech you all to aid me in res? toring that ^Democratic- ^nity and brotherly love whicltnas always char? acterized our people and which has contributed'to our political strength. We have been divided-both sides had some right and some wrong in their claims, but the present duty of every good citizen is clearly written out inf his kmn conscience-that duty is zo heal the division exisiting, to let "bygones be bygones" and let us stand together, again, a united Democracy. There must be mutual compromises andconcessions, which brave men are always willing to make; tis only the ignorant bigot and bully who will of? fensively insist upon forcing on others their peculiar ideas of men and things. People are being educated to do their own thinking, but to be an effective force they must all together and the majority must rule. We can't bring about that peace7 which commends it? self to every citizen who loves his State by-*, conti Dually nagging and blaming .each other for the faults of their respective factions during our campaign." Every old granny knows that the best way to heal a wound is to put bandage on it and everybody with any common sense knows ff you undo the bandage and show the wound to every man you meet to get it probed it will fester and inflame. Fellow-citizens, common interest prompts us to bandage the wounds of the last campaign and never take the bandage off until there is no longer any soreness. Tliere will be those who will try to keep up strife and conten? tion, their motives are suspicious and these are the men that common inter? est and patriotism must force to the rear. May God help us to do our duty -to bury self and selfish purposes in one common effort to bring about peace and good will among men. I am vour servant, H. R. THOMAS. "An honest pill is the noblest work of the apothecary." DeWitt's Little Earlv Risers Cure constipation, hilousness and sick head? ache. W. H. Gilliland k Co. The Moderate Use of Liquor. We hear a great deal ahout the moderate use of liquor. We are told that an occasion? al drink does no particular harm, but ton^s up his system. Just so long as a man don't get drunk,.and his physical system shows no bad effects from the use of an occasional drink, he is a temperate man, and no one should take a harmless privilege away from him. So far. so good. But we know a case in point wtiich v.ill do just ns well as argu? ment. A father of a family of our ?ncqnain tarce had convivial habit*; he would take a glass of beer occasionally. He would, even, on some occasions, get slightly "fuddled." But he was never known to harm himself, his family or his friends, by his bibulous indul? gences. He was a good business mnn, a goon" neighbor, a kind husband and father, and was respected by ail who knew him. He was considered temperate, because he cou il leave liquor alone, ''when be wanted to," and he kept his appetite well under control. Perso? nally, itd:d bun no harm. No one wouid suspect from his fine physical appearance fhit beever indulged in a drop of liquor. Bul there is a sequel. He was the father of a family of boys, and these boys loved and respected their father. What 'a;vit did w:is as right as any thing could be to them. B?it it doe3 not follow that they could all JO just as father did. One of them indulged in mod? erate drink just as his father did ; but unfor nately be did not possessens father's strong will power. His appetite for liquor increased and his power of resistance decreased, result? ing in bis becoming a confirmed drunkard. He neglected his business, be abujed his wife and family and he is now a merral, physical and financial wreck. Moderate drinking did the work for the yo ung man. Not niodnate drinking ou his uwu part, but moderate drinking on the .j>?rt of his father, who get the example... CHIT the head of a family judge of the effects of a habit only bj its tff<;et upon himself?.How can that father of the drunken son, pat himself, and complacently observe : "I can keep fro?nmaking a bog of myself, I know whea to "drink and when to let it alone?" Such a boast is a lie. There is only one time for-Ietting it alune, and that is be? fore ti is touched. The man who drinks in moderation and show3 ho bad effects from if, is far more dan gerotis to the community than the lowest and most abandoned drunkard. His example en coo razes, while the condition of the drunk? ard warns. There is no such thing as tempe? rance in ihe use of liquor In tutal absti? nence is the only safety, and again dear friends we hnd right in^our midst a young man cut of io the prime of life-also had a temperate father. So dear friehdatt Is best to taste not, handle Dot, but drink from your well of pure water. Yours tm Iv, - T. E HISSOH, SB. "Oh ! woman, in thy hours of ease, uncer? tain, coy and hard to please."

He intimacy with Senator Gorman has giren that gentle? man ao . unquestionable boom for the Presidential nomination. This is Doubt? less largely due to the feeling that any candidate supported by Senators Hill and Gorman would be difficult to defeat in a democratic national convention. Representative Blount, of Georgia, chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, thicks the House made a mistake in defeating the joint resolution author? izing the Secretary of the Navy to char? ter* steamship to carry the food which has: been contributed to -the famine stricken Russians, and that it was done through a in esappreh?n sion and the lack of proper information. He has moved a reconsideration of the vote, and expects that the resolution will be passed when it again cowes up* The declaaatiou of the State presid? ents of the Karners Alliance, who have been holding a conference here, against committing the Alliance to the third party movement, has excited much comment here. Mr. Blaine is again having a rocky time of ii,-between the attempt of the Chilians to wriggle out of making au apology to the Uuited Statesand of the Harrison crowd to make his health a national bugaboo. He is also having trouble with Mr. Harrison and the Cabinet over the question of granting the Mexican government' the right to send troops into the the United States after Garza, who is' said to be backed bv BOBS Shepherd of Washington noto? riety, and other Americans. Mr. Blaine alone opposes allowing Mexican troops to cross the border. Chairman Tillman, of the House com? mittee of Pateuts, appears to be thc right man in the right place.
