The 31st day of December 188 i was the twentieth anniversary of his assumption of h?s duties as pastor. His congregation being desirous of showing their love and appreciation of ?heir faithful and beloved pastor's work io their midst, decided to get up a surprise china party for his bene? fit. The congregation assembled at the resi? dence of Col. J. D. Graham, on Lioerty street, and in a body they all walked to Dr. Brown's residence.

Commander, who fell upon | bis door steps and broke one of bis ankles j several weeks ago was ont on the streets for the first time Friday. He was using crutches -he had a very painful time of it, and it will be many days yet before he will be able to go without his crutches.

Chief Bradford and Assistant Chief ' Week3 will be on duty in the day time, and I will go to the different depots to watch for i contraband liquors and keep an eye to blind : j tigers. Goveruor Evans has said that thirty I i days would be given all municipalities to I show that policemen would enforce the Dis- ? j pensary law, and all that did not do so would j j be replaced by metropolitan policemen. Sum j ter city Council have evidently found that now is the time for them to show their band, | and have proceeded to show down their cards j I for Governor Evans to draw from. It is use- ! j less to add that from Sumter, the Governor j j drew a.royal flush. 1 City Council is to be commended for their j j action, for had they failed to comply with the j Governor's demand, and after thirty days j ! bad expired metropolitan police were sent ! j bere, on the grounds that Sumter was not ? j complying with the law, and if bloodshed j j and riots should ensue from the metropolitan j j police being here, Council would be held re- j ; 8ponsible for it. They are doing right, and I one of the policemen said to-day that be in ! tended to seize all whiskey of a contraband j nature, and to try and keep the blind tigers I out of Sumter. Many stubborn and aggravating cases of rheumatism that were believed to be incur? able and accepted as life legacies, have yielded to Chamberlain's Pain Balm, much to j the surprise and gratification of the sufferers. !

Brown, C E. Stubbs, T. B. Johoston. The board of directors have not met yet for thc election of officers, but there is every rea? son to believe that the present efficient offi? cers will be re-elected. The quarterly statement for tbe quarter ending December 31, published in last issue, shows by thc large deposit account that the bank has the confidence of our monied people, and siso that the business of the bank is in good shape The usual semi-annual dividend | to stockholders hns been declared, and the j bank has a reserv? fund of $16.325.21.

McLeod's place in Rafting Creek township on I January 3, and for whom a warrant was j issued on Saturday, made bis escape from this I county before the warrant could be served, but be was captured Saturday afternoon and was brought to Sumter yesterday. Citizens are justly complaining about the miserable condition of the sidewalks on Main street in Iront of the Court House and Opera House. A composition of sand and clay wa9 put down over the brick, and now the side- j walks are a mass of soft slush and sticky j mud. The mud would make fine mortar, it j has such fine adhesive qualities, and rubber shoes are frequently pulled off by the mud.: Some kind of gravel or hard material should I be put over the mud, particularly in front of i such public places as the Opera House and ! Court House. There is good reason for the popularity of Chamberlain's Cougb Remedy. Davi9 & Buzard, of West Monterey, Clarion Co , Pa., say : "It bas cured people that our physi? cians could do nothing for. We persuaded them to try a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and they now recommend it with tbe rest of us." 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by Dr. A. J. China.
