Room and has commenced housekeeping Something new ia the line of sport, or this section, at least, will be tbe Tournament on bicycles, instead of horses, in Sumter, on Thanksgiving Day.

It was estimated at 9, OOO poonda and was gathered from six and a half acree, two of these acres were partly covered with water nod 'didn't make more chan half ? crop. We learn that Dr. C. C.

Micas, the young white man charged with passing connterfit money- io the city of Sumter, came off before U. S. Commissioner S. A. Norris Monday. Mims was bound over in* $100.00 bond for trial at United States Circuit court in Colombia on the fourth Monday of* this month. The following is vouched for by a gentle mac, who was present : A colored man who was in a country store about five miles from Sumter was told that if he ate three pounds of raw saosages and one-half pound of soda crackers they would be paid for by a gentle? man present. The colored man pitched in and ate three and a half pounds of raw sau? sages and one-half pound of soda crackers without stopping. A party of ten, consisting of Messrs. D. J. Winn, W.H. Ingram and others, was or? ganized to take a deer bunt in the swamps sear Georgetown, and were to leave Mon? day, bnt a letter was received, stat? ing that the deer were dying in tbe swamps from black tongue, a disease very fatal to deer and cattle also. The shooting of the deer in that section bas been ordered stopped; in consequence. Peter Howell and Gabe Fraser were arrest? ed Monday and arraigned before Trial Jostice H. L. B. Wells, upon affidavit of M. W. Wheeler, colored, charging them as accomplices of Roy Robinson in the stealing of Mr. W. E. Mims' hog.. There was no evidence, however, to implicate these men, and they were discharged. Wheeler after? wards admitted that be bad been misinform? ed. Roy Robinson is quoted as saying that Howell aod Fraser koew nothing abont the hog stealing, but that Wheeler's son-in-law was with bim when the bog was stolen. Complaint is not infrequently made, that citizens are annoyed by the blowing of steam I whistles at 12 o'clock at night. The writer is no kicker, neither are tbe citizens who make the complaint, bnt just ont of curiosity it wouldn't be a bad idea if some one would1 explain just why steam whistles are blown at that time of night. If there is any neces? sity for it, let 'em blow, but if there is any wa;; to hare it stopped without interfering with any one's bnsiness, tbe writer believes io stopping the blowing. Will the man, or men, who do the blowing, or who have it done please enlighten the suffering public on this bowling subject. It may be that this whistle blowing business, serves ss a gentle reminder to som? of the star gazers that it is time for their evening calls to terminate, abd if this be the ease,, we hope we are'not intruding. TbTrnisgiving Day bids feir to be lively in I Sumter. In fact, it looks as if we are going j to bave a regular Gala Day, as a one-day j Game Cock Oft/ Carnival. The wheelmen i bave entered into tbe spirit ot'sport with a j vim. The tournament on wheels, instead of horses, is taking right along. The following is a partial list of the wheelmen who have en? tered for tbe tournament : Sol J. Rettenberg, I. A. Ryttenberg, Wil? lie Sandeler W. R. Phillips, Loni? Lyons, Newman Rosendorf, Arthur Wilder, Moses Moore, Frank Moses, Hazell M. Sanders, Fred Ricker, Donald Auld, E. 0. Ingram. lu addition to the wheel-tournament there will be other amusements, such as chasing the greasy pig, climbing the greasy pole, bag races, foot races, three-legged races, etc. All of the amusements will be in the after? noon, so that every one can be present. Of course, the merchants are expected to close their stores as usual, on tbis occasion, as tbe merchants and clerks, no doubt, have lots to return thanks for when they begin to think over their condition.

Tbe Last Hymn, was beautifully recited and touched the hearts of all the immense congregation, as that part of tbe old familiar song, that our mother's loved, fell on the listening ear "Jesus Lover of my Soul." That song bas melted many a heart to tears, lulled us in infancy to sleep,-and brought macy a wanderiog boy back into the feld of his Father's borne. Great credit is doe to the committee Misses Eleanor Thompson, Lillie Pate and Marion Mood, for tbe interesting programme. The singing was exceptionally 6ne. LUCIAN. Courtship and Matrimony. The Young Meo'sChristian Association Hall was filled last Thursday evening with a large and appreciative audience to bear Rev. C. C. Brown lecture under the auspicies of the Ladies' Auxiliary, on "Courtship and. Matri? mony and How Not to Do lt. Doctor Brown's lecture was, as anticipated, very interesting and instructive, and, as usual, replete with that wit for which the Doctor is famous. He said, among many other tbiogs, that he could not tell the young folks how to go at courtship and matrimony, but be could tell them bow not to do it. The Doctor is quoted as having said that j the kind of a girl a young man did not want j to court aod marry was the ball room belle, j as she was handled too much. He said that be went down to R. W. DuRant & Son's hardware store one day to get a carving knife, and that be noticed that every time the salesman showed a knife be used a ch a mo ?se skin to wipe off the knife before putting it up. He asked tbe dealer wby be did this, and was informed that the knives were bandied so mocb that unless carefully wiped 1 off they became rusty and lost, their shine. I So it is with the ball room belle. She is handled so much that she loses her shine and becomes rusty, and, tbe Doctor said, when a ?\r\ loses ber shine a young man does oct | want to marry her.

The Federal Board of canvasers granted Johnston's request as to re-counting tbe votes in all the Congressional precinct boxes io Sumter County, (Sumter excepted) to see if the votes tallied with the names, on tbe poll lists, and yesterday afternoon the re-count was started. Six boxes were re-counted and fouBd to be correct in reference to votes and poll lists agreeing. At the end of tbe re? count of tbe sixth box, Johnston threw np the sponge (according to County Chairman D. E. Keels,) io tbe re-count of the boxes outside of Sumter. The board would not sustain Johnston's protest to throw out the Sumter Congressional box, and Johnston will take this to the State Board of Federal Canvassers.
