The Bishop ville people are still hopeful that ; Salem County will be established, and that > Bisbopville will bs made the Court House, i Several Salem County people who were in j town on Monday declared that they were j satisfied that their county is a certainty.

The General Carnival Committee held a meeting Monday afternoon at four o clock at the old headquarters of the committee. There were present Messrs. H. C. Moses, D. J Auld, H. Schwerin, E. F. Miller, J. M. j Knight, E. I. Reardon, W. M. Graham, R. j P. Monaghan, Neil O'Donnell, Abe Rytten- | berg. Matters appertaining to the winding; op of the business of the Carnival business was discussed and the meeting adjourned to meet at 3*30 o'clock next Friday afternoon. Hester Wilson, who was before the Mayor j yesterday morning for quarreling, wrangling j and disorderly conduct, and who was dis- ! missed, was indicted yesterday for assault j sod battery with intent to kill. Trial ! Justice Wells issued a warrant for ber j arrest and Constable H. M. Spann went to! serve it. Hester, however, got wiod of the constable coming and ran away. The con- ; 8 tab le gave chase over the . fields, fences, ! ditches ace down the Central Railroad, bot Hester was, if not light of heart fleet of foot 1 and mai* ber escape. Soon after Constable I Spann got rubbed down and cooled off from bis long distance sprint, another warrant j was placed in his bands for the arrest of Pheobe Dozier, who was charged with 1 breaking into the boose of Isaac Ramsey and j showing fight. Constable Spann got within [ what some people io the coontry call "a j sight and a-half" of Pheobe, wheo Pheobe skipped oat. The constable also gave chase bnt Pheobe mounted a country bound wagoo, and before the officer could get there, like : Hester Wi.'eoo, she was gooe, gooe, gone. Matilda Blake, alias Carson, aod Bettie j Rodgers occupied the mourner's bench at i Mayor's Court this morning. These are the j two guard-house prima doo oas that delighted the people in the neighborhood of the goard boose yesterday with soto aod duet tales of woe. The Mayor appreciating their vocal efforts, made short work of their case. They were charged with drunk and disorderly ! conduct, fighting and wrangling and quarrel- : iog on Savage alias Silver Street. Matilda shed tears of repentance as big as acorns, but the genial Bettie sat complacently, gnawing a piece of chewing gum and did not appear in the least disconcerted. In fact, she ap- j peared to enjoy her notoriety. Bettie plead guilty, but Matilda entered a , plea of guilty and not guilty with \ variations. The Mayor, however de- 1 cided, in favor of guilty, aod sentenced them ? to pay a fine of three dollars each or go to : the guard house for six days. They took ] the six days. Bettie's and Matilda's ap- ( pearance declared the fact that the present , C^^^uncil are rather tony of late in their , M of the sleeping apartments in Bpd house, as the colored damsels' |kis were full of feathers, indicative that they slept on feather beds : Rt Their heads iooked as though j Bp out in a snow ?term. WEDDING BELLS. _ At four o'clock last Wednesday afternoon : at the Chapel of St. Joseph's Academy, Mr. j James Cantwell, of Columbia, and Miss : Mamie Mullican, formerly of Charleston, S ? C., but more recently of Sumter, were j united in the holy bonds of matrimony ac ! cording to the rites of the Roman Catholic ! Church, Rev. Father A. J. McNeal officiat? ing. Long before the time of the ceremony which j united "Two souls with but a single thought, I Two hearts that heat as one," 1 a large Dumber of the friends of the charming and popular young bride had assembled at ! the chai>el, which bad been beautifully and tastefully decorated by her friends and the kind Sisters of Mercy. Promptly on time, and to the inspiring strains of the merry wedding march, the bridal party entered the chapel. The attendants were little Nellie and Margie Monaghan, the two oiec?s of the bride, and Mr. Frank Cantwell, brother of the groom, and Mr. J. Lynch, of Columbia. Misses Nel? lie and Margie Monaghan headed the proces? sion followed by Messrs. Frank Cantwell and J. Lynch, who marched up to the sanctuary railing, and then the ntteodants separated, the young ladies going to the left and the gentlemen to the right, and the bride and groom closely followed and took their place in the center isle, where the Rev. Father McNeal made them man and wife. The bride was tastefully attired in a neat fitting and Tery stylish travelling gown, and was as graceful and charming as she was happy. The groom bore himself in a dignified manner, which characterizes the fortunate man who has won a prize. Aft?r the marriage ceroraooy the bride and groom marched out first, followed by the gentlemen attendants, and the Misses Mona? ghan brouoght up the rear. The two little girls, wbo acted as maids of honor, were ap? propriately and handsomely dressed, and conducted themselves in a creditable and graceful manner. They are aged respective? ly about 6 and 8 years old. After the cerooioiiy at the chapel, the bride and groom and attendants, and a few inti? mate friends and relatives were tendered a reception at the hilde's borne, at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. R P. Monaghan, corner Main and Dugan streets, where a bountifu and elegant repast was served. The residence of Mr. and Mrs. Monaghan was very prettily decorated in the drawing j and reception rooms, as were also the large j and elegant hall and dining room. Garlands of smilax were intertwined everywhere in profusion and taste, and a very artistically designed horse shoe of >railax and flowers (emblematical of good luck) was fixed on the wall at the bead of the wedding table. The groom, Mr. James C. Cantwell, is a prominent and rising young business man of Columbia and a member of the firm of D. Crawford 4 Son, cotton brokers of Columbia Mrs. Cantwell (nee Miss Mulligan) was formerly of Charleston, and a niece of the late John Feeban, who was an aldermau and police commissioner of Charleston, but who with hts Deice, Miss Mulligan, moved to Sum? ter about 8 years ago where she has resided with relatives, Mr. and Mrs. Mouaghau, ever since. Mr. and Mrs. Cantwell will make their home in Columbia, S. C , DENNISTON-RAPELYE. A .very pretty home wedding took place at the residence of Mr. A. Rapelye, Lark Ter? race, Washington ville, Wednesday afternoon, Jan. 9, *t 3 p. m., when his attractive daugh? ter, Edith M. Rapelye, wa3 united in mar? riage to Mr. Charles E Denniston, the cere? mony being performed by the Rev. Joseph Green leaf in ihe presence of the immediate relatives of the contracting parties. The par? lor was tastefully decorated with cut flowers, evergreens and potted plants; the bridal par? ty entered the parlor to the strains of ''Men? delssohn's Wedding March," which was skillfully played by a cousin of the bride Miss Cora Gile3, and took their places under an arch of evergreens, from which wa3 suspend? ed the renowned "wedding bell." The bride was charmingly attired in changeable taffetta silk with point Dejene lace; she carried a bouquet of "Marguerite roses " The brides? maid Mis3 Addie Den:ii3too, a sister of the groom, was prettily attited in piok silk and white lace ; she earned a bouquet of Carna? tions. The "oest man" was Mr. Louis Den niston, brother of the groom Congratula tiona followed the ceremony ; then the com? pany sat down to the wedding supper. The oride was born in Washingtonville, where she has always resided, and is a young lady of maoy accomplishments, with a charm of manner that has gained for her a host of friends. The groom, a very worthy and highly esteemed young man, was formerly a resident of Washingtonville, but for the past five years has resided in Sumter, South Caro? lina, where he holds a very responsible posi? tion on the "Charleston, Sumter and North? ern R. R." Mr. and Mrs. Der.niston were the recipients of many very handsome pres? ents. An hour or so after the wedding fes? tivities, Mr. and Mrs. Denniston took their departure amid a shower of "rice and old shoes," for their home io the "Sunny South," carrying with them the beat wishes of the ! entire community.-The Semi- Weekly Jour? nal, Newburgh, N'.

He was engaged in the mercantile business for a number of years, and then began the practice of Dentistry which he continued for a great many years, and up io the lime of his illness several i weeks ago. He was well known throughout Sumter County, and his death bas taken from Sumter one of its old landmarks and a highly respected citizen. His bereaved family and relatives have the sympathy of the entire city who join in with them in mourning bis j death The funeral services were held at 4 o'clock Friday afternoon at the residence of Mr. H. ! Harby on Church Street. Manager Schwerin of the Opera House j says thai it is not the fault of the lessees of j the Opera House that the theatre was not I heated up last Saturday night. Tke Opera Boase management have plenty of coal and wood, and efforts have been made to heat the ? building, but the heBter will not work. The j lsseees have snffereda loss of patroange, and their business has suffered a great draw-back, j as many people would noi attend the plays j during the cold snap owing to the uncora-i fortable condition of the theatre, and the I City Council should see to it that the appa- ! ratus which they have recently put in for beating, should comply with the original in- j tention, that is, to heat the building. The patrons of the Sumter Opera House suffered severely from the cold on Saturday night during the presentation of Michael! StrogofT, by the Baldwin-Melville Company, ' and the actors and actresses on the stage must have found it difficult to play under such un? comfortable circumstances, There is a heater that was nut in and it should be used. The writer heard that the heater does not work : and that Manager J. A. Schwerin has tried; in vain to heat tne Opera House Something i should ne done ; the heater, if out of order, ; should be overhauled and the defect remedied; ! or if it is too small another should be put in j immediately. It is not right that the public ? should be subjected to such imposition, parti- ! cularly in an Open House that has cost so 1 much money. The patronage of the Opera ; House is likely to suffer a serious, but just drawback. The management have to nay H i large rental and are under other heavy expeoses, and they, as well as the public j should be protected. The old proverb--'Cast your bread upoo ; the waters and it will be returned *o you," is ; not the only way in which bread will return j to you, a3 has been discovered by a charit? able lady of this city. A few nights ago an j able-bodied mulatto called at a certain house j and solicited something to eat, claiming to be | very hungry. As the lady of the house had jost supplied another hungry tramp with all the cooked victuals she bad on hand at the time, xecept a couple of slices of nice bakerj bread. She directed her servant to give the; poor man the bakers bread. A neighbor ? coming in a short while afterwards saw the | bread on the gate posts-one piece on each ? gate post. The tramp was very hungry, so be said, but was too tony to eat bread . It wasn't good enough for him, so he left the I bread upon the gate posts to show his indig? nation. Perhaps he expected fruit cake, or a plate of fried oysters, or perhaps his fastidi- j ous appetite may have been tempted with a ; little turkey and cranberry sauce. Then j agaiu, a few days hard work on the streets or io a chain gang may have made him think I that bakers bread with butter on it, was as . high-low to him as pound cake is to a pile of ' sawdust. Messrs. J. A. Westbrook and B. E. Barnes, i of Mount Holly and Dudley, North Carolina, two large truck growers, were in the city Saturday. These gentlemen were here with a view to establishing truck farms in this sec? tion. They say that they have investigated, ? and are positive that the soil, climate and j railroad facilities make this section of the State as fine a place for general truck farming as any place in the United States except, of ? course, Florida. Our long seasons are par- \ ticularly adapted to the raising of general truck, and particularly strawberries. They have a truck farm io Florence now and are doing well. Our seasons are similar to the i , seasons in their section of North Carolina, and they predict that at no very distant day this section will be the chief of general ? truck farming sections of the United States, owing to soil, climate and long seasons. They hope to get started soon in this county, a large end general truck farming buisness, . aod will co-operate with the farmers in : putting tb is section to the front. They said much more ibat was very encouraging These gentlmen will be beard from again ! and will tell you something that will be profitable and interesting. There is good reason for the popularity of 1 Chamberlain s Cough Remedy. Davis k Buzard, of West Monterey, Clarion Co , Pa., . j say : "It has cured people that our physi- , ' ciaos could do nothing for. We persuaded them to try a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and they now recommend it with the ri?3t of us." 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale i by Dr. A. J. China.

There is a curious character in Blissville, the southern extreme of Long Island City, who is known to everybody, including children, as "the doctor/' although his advice has always been gratuitous and he has but one remedy. Joseph J. Myers, "the doctor,'' is the proprietor of the Homestead Hotel, where a Standard Union reporter found bun last night. '.What is the secret of my remedy?" he smilingly observed, in response to a question. "There is no secret. Neither am I a doctor; and there hasn't been one in my house for almost a quarter of a century. My doctor stands up there on the safe in the form of Perry Davis' Pain-Killer, and under no circumstances would I allow myself to be without a bottle. "I was once afflicted hy ulcerated sore throat, and my position became so critical that three physicians, who had been called in consultation, gently broke the yarn to me that my . itt vs were numbered. An appli? cation of Pain-Killer was suggested. I tried it. A week later I was back at my work. "A few weeks afterwards a neighbor's wife was suffering from the same affliction. I sent a bottle to her, and in a few days she came to my house to thank me for having saved her life. "My oldest boy. la<t winter, was attacked with inflammatory rheumatism. I applied Pain-Killer and drove every vestige of the malady out of his system. "My two boys were brought through a siege "of diphtheria, at a time when the dis? ease was widespread, and the Pain-Killervs success with them induced me to send a dozen bottles to neighbors whose children were also prostrated. In everv instance it effected a cure. That's why they cai I me "Doctor" in Blissville." WANTS.
