IQ an article to the Awi and Courier, Mr. McDonald Forman of this county says : "Mr. J. 0. Prude, of Alabama, is com? piling a history of the Hayn?.worth family and its collateral branches, which he intends to publish in a handsomely bound volume. For seven years he has been preparing this genealogical work, but at first without a view of publication. He will trace the history of the family as a people as far back as the Christian era. In our own State this family is an old and honorable one. Its founder, Richard Hayoswortb, was a colonial settler. The most prominent member of the family at present is Major William F. B. Haynsworty, president of the Sumter Bank, and an honored member of the Sumier Bar. His brother, the lamented George E. Hains? worth, will be remembered as having fired the first gun of the Confederate War. He WHS a Citadel graduate, and in his complete and scholarly history of that institution Col. Pey re Thomas has given us an apjreciative sketch of Mr G.-E. Haynsworth. Ex-Attor? ney General J. H. Earle, of Greenville, and Mr. William H. Ly les. of Columbi?, both prominent Carolina lawyers, are descendants of the Haynsworth family." Who Can Beat This? Mr. H. H. Evans, of Smithville, butchered a calf last week only eleven months old which weighed 400 pounds cet. Can any one beat that? We asked Mr. Evans bow he managed to raise such a fine calf His answer was that he fed it-gave it all it wanted to eat. And therein lies, in great measure, the secret of raising fine stock-feeding well.- Wateree Messenger. - - -- ?n Interesting Incident. The following incident in the trial of Sullivan, at Anderson, for the murder of Gilreath, at Greenville will doubtless in? terest our readers." We copy from the People's Advocate : "At the very inception of the case the court and the" spectators present witness? ed one of the finest intellectual tilts be? tween Judge Melton and Dr. J. Thomas Pate, the pastor of the Methodist Church iu Greenville, that has been witnessed in the Court House io many a day. One looking on was reminded of the gladiatorial contests of the ancient* and could almost see the sparks fly as the keen thrusts and parries followed in rapid succession.- With a. very little stretch of the imagination one could see the bright gleaming of the blades as each nerved himself to receive or give the stroke and for an hour or more a rare intellectual treat was afforded which was greatly en? joyed by judge, jury, lawyers and spec? tators. For one iiu?e in his life, Judge Melton found his match in a witness with a well trained brain and a nerve as im? passive a3 steel, and he retired from the contest somewhat discomfit ted and with the remark "you a pretty good lawyer as well as a preacher." The spectators appeared to be ip full sympathy with the preacher, for it is so seldom that they have seen a witness on the stand 8uc*esfully withstand the badgering of a lawyer and come off with flying colors, and this Dr. Pate did. It was a subject of universal remark on the streets that "the array of witnesses brought for? ward by the State was remarkable for character and intelligence and that the chain of testimony thrown around the defendant was strong in every link and that it would be a difficult matter to break through it. The line of defence adopted was to show a case of self-de? fence and for this purpose the main re? liance seemed to be a note written by Mr. Gilreath and sent to Mr. Sullivan on the morning of the killing and Mr. Sullivan's own testimony." Thanksgiving Proclamation. WASHINGTON, NOV. 3.-The President to? day issued the following Thanksgiving proc? lamation : By the President of the United States of America. A Proclamation. While the American people should every day remember with praise and thanks? giving the divine goodness and metcy which have followed them since their be? ginning as a nation, it is fitting that one day in each 3ear should be especially de? voted to the contemplation of the blessing we have received from the hand of God and to the grateful acknowledgment of His loving kindness. Therefore, I, Grover Cleveland, President of the United States, do hereby designate arri J set apart Thursday, the 3o th day of the present, month of November, as a day of thanksgiving and praise to be kept and observed by ail the people of our land. On that day let us forego our ordinary work aud employments and assemble in our usual places of worship where we may recall ali that God has done for us and whete from grateful hearts our uuitrd tribute of praise and song may reach the throne of grace. Let the reunion of kindred and of friends lend cheer and enjoyment to the duty and let the geuerous gifts of charily for the re? lief of the poor and weedy prove the sincerity of our thanksgiving. (Signed) GROVER CLEVELAND. By the President : Walter Q. Gresham, Secretary of State. "A chemical success and medical triumph," 90 speaks an eminent physician in reference to Ayer's Cherry Pectoral ; and the eulogy was none too strong. No other medicine is so safe and efficacious in all diseases of the throat and lungs. An English admiral, says: ,;It is trae, the life-saving service of America is not equaled anywhere tn,the world."

Yours to please, Ducker & Bu lt mao. ? Fall 1893. i In making this, our Annual Fall Announcement, we desire to call particular attention to our HAT STOCK. For years wc have boen making a specialty of this department, and we can safely say that we have never been better prepared than this season. -OUR STOCK: COMPRISES OVER 100 DOZEN SAMPLE HATS of the latest shapes and styles, which we offer AT ONE-HALF REGULAR PRICE. This statement would seem incredulous, but we are prepared to prove it by an examination of our stock. There are many citizens of Sumter County who are now wearing hats bought from us toco and possibly three years ago AT ONE DOLLAR EACH, Who will bear us out in the assertion thai in some grades they are even less than one-half what they have been paying for the same class of goods. Our friends seen: to apprecaite our efforts in this line, for several days before our stock was received we were having inquiries : ' Have Your Hats Come TUL?" And when they did come, before we had an opportunity of assorting and marking them, several dozen were picked out. We would therefore advise friends who wish a CHOICE FUR HAT, either soft or stiff in any shapa AT ONE DOLLAR, To call early and make their selections, as they are going very rapidly. HS Clothing Department We are better prepared than usual to give yon good value for the money you wish to invest, from a Boy's Suit at 65c. to a Man's Suit at $35.00. IN OUR We feel that we can supply your wants. Shoe Department Yon will find HONEST VADUE and a complete stock from which to select. Wo cannot pass over this department without calling attention to oar Celebrated Brand of E. P. Reed & Co's* We have had exclusive sale of these goods for five years and we will pay a Seward ?K(\ to ?wy lady in the county who has ever bought these goods of Y"" Hom us. and upon failure of Hie same lo give satisfaction that we did not BEFUNE HER MONEY? give a new pair of shoes or make due allowance for the time they were worn. This we are authorized lo do by the manufacturers. IN OUR DRY GOODS DEPARTMENT We offer a complete line of Staple and Fancy Dry Goods and DRESS GOODS, with Trimmings to match. We might enter into an enumeration of prices here that would astonish you, but as the STOCK IS SO LARGE and advertising so expensive we merely ask }rou to call and be convinced. In our Notion Department we Have a Lot of Slightly Soiled Kid Gloves at 25c. pr. pair. This includes some of the celebrated Centemeri brands. Oar celebrated GLOBE KID, in all shades, every pair warranted, has no superior. Featherbone Corsets. il The lady who desires solid comfort, ought to supply heiself willi a pair of the above brand soon as possible. Tiie subjoined cuts ^?ve only a faint idea of them. They are made strictly of feather-bone and sold exclu? sively by us. We have elaborated considerably upon your exterior wants but have said nothing about THE INNER MAN. No matter how poor the crop or how low the price, WE MUST EAT and we were no less particular in pro? viding for you in this respect than in our other various departments. Flour is Cheap, and we Bought 500 Barrels, So if you Want Rock Bottom Prices See us before buying. We cannot close tiiis appeal to our friends without something to say ABOUT THE COTTON BUSINESS. Our reputation is pretty well established in the market, but we were never better prepared to handle the fleecy staple than we are this season. Always have the satisfaction of knowing that O'Donnell Saw Your Sample, For then von can leel assured if lie did not buy, some one paid all or more than it was worth.
