A Realistic Romance of Sumter in
Which a Number of Prominent
Business Men Take a Very
Conspicuous Fart.

^bashfulness, only to bear a sweet:
"Yes, Charley."
"Can I aspire tc-er-tc-that is-"
Again a lapse into silence, followed by an
Encouraging:
"Yes, Charley."

Another failure of language. It was seem?
ingly a bopelsss case, and might have been,
only for a demure:
"Charley, I have said 'yes' twice, and if
yon mean it, I mean it, too, and-"
And to this day that young man will in?
sist that he popped the question.
All this happened away "op east," and it
wasn't long before there was a wedding. Not
much longer before there came a letter from
Polly's Uncle Josh, down here in South
Carolina, who wrote effusively at ber exhibi?
tion of what he called "grit," aDd be pro?
posed that if the yoong people would locate
at Sumter he woo ld start them up in life as a
wedding gift, and at the same time give them
a lot ot good practical advice. Of course they
accepted, and were bidding their friends
adieu.
A few weeks subsequent to tbe above con?
versation a travel-stained party arrived at
Sumter. Our friend, Uncle Josh, was in
charge aod he led the party straightway to a
hotel, "theNixon Hoose," said, he, "is a
typical Sootbern hotel of the best class. I
haTe known M. F. Fixon the proprietor, for j
years and he is mine host after mine own i
heart. A thorough business man, endowed
with that delightful intuition that makes a
guest feel at home, comfortable, contented,
and io mighty good luck. The house is one
of conveoieoce; the aparments are well fur?
nished; the cuisine all that a superior chef
and unlimited orders on the market can
make it. I have engaged rooms here for you
to occupy until your own house is in readi?
ness."
"After breakfast," said the old man, "I
am ready to go boy your outfit. To expedite
matters I have ordered a carriage from J. ,
Wallace Epperson k Co., our enterprising
livery mea." When the handsome carriage,
with elaborate trappings and prancing horses
drew np in front of the Nixon House, Polly
declared it the "finest turnout she bad ever
seen." "Yes," replied Uncle Josh "the
three S's, 'Speed, Safety and Style,' is
Epperson ?fe Co.'s motto. So yoong folks,
-when yon want to take a drive, either for
business or pleasure, go to them for a rig
every time."
It was in this stylish turnout that the
rounds of the city were made.
"I have already provided yon with a cage
for your bird," said Uncle-Josh, "and now
the first thing we'll look after will be the
furnishings for it." Hereupon Polly ener?
getically declared that she bad heard'so much
aboot J. D. Craig selling furniture so cheap
that she bad decided to go there. The result
was that tbey were ushered toto such a be?
wildering display that the girl was at first at
a loss bow to select. Bot she soon yielded to
the seductiveness of a magnificent parlor
suite, a bed room set in oak, antique finish,
that would have done credit to old Antiquity
herself. To this she added a dining-room set
' with all accessories, and didn't forget a most
convenient aod ornamental writing desk for
"Hobby" Charles.
"Let's see-I promised you a gold watch,
did't I," queried Uocle Josh of Polly, "and
the very place of all places is at L. W. Fol*
soms'." Eoteriog the popolar Jewelry
Store, the old man gallantly acquitted him?
self of the promise aod then directed Polly's
attention to the soperior stock of silverware
carried by this house. "There is no other
such hoose io town," said the old man, "ao?
I will guarantee the quality to be the very
best. Pick out your family ciock while
bere," be added, "Folsom carries a magnifi
ceot line. Don't forget another fact," he j
continued, "if ever you unfortunately need 1
optical goods, this is the place to come. He
has everything required to improve affected
eyes aod to determine the required treatment.
And say, young uiao, when that old turnip
of youro breaks down bring it here for re- j
pairs. Folsom is ao expert at 5 si o' com- i
plicated watch machinery."
At this point, somewhat to the confusion
cf Charles, the old mao indulged io a half
serious criticism of bis personal appearance.
"Yon are decidedly cff style for a towns?
man," said he, "and we'd better go to D. J. i
Chandler's Clothing Store. After Charles j
had fitted himself out in a neat late style !
business suit, from the piles of fashionable
garments that cover the tablas of this ex-1
teosively stocked establishment, Uncle Josh
declared: "Now vou look ?ike a newly mar- |
ried man." Before leaving, having found
goods and prices irresistible, Charles also in?
vested ia a complete outfit of gents' furnish?
ings, from the late style hat to a dozen shirts.
Chandler is not to be undersold in the State. \
"By the way," remarked Uncle Josh, as '
they reached the street. "I must run into the
Simonds National Bank and get another
check book. Come with me and get ac?
quainted with Coi, R. SI. Wallace, the presi- :
dent, and L.S.Carson, the cashier, for of
courseyou do business with them and it is al?
ways more pleasant to be personally acquaint?
ed with the people you do businesswitb. This .
bank is as solid a3 the base .of the universe,
and has a strorg working capital. You will
?nd them ever ready to extend any accom?
modations compatible with business princi?
pies."
"Halt!" commanded Uocle Josh as the
party came io front of Dr. J. ?. W. DeLorme's
handsome drug store. "Walk right in." '
"Why, Uncle, we're not sick, and-"
"Guess I know that, but I suspect it won't
be long before this young man begins to take
an interest ia matters of paregoric and-"
"U-n-c-l-e!" "Well, go in any way. Polly
may find some Toilet articles she wants."
Sure enough, the giri bought liberally of ;
combs, brushes, tace powders, ounces upon
ounces of ?ne imported perfumes, toilet soaj a
and so on. Then the old man ?teppped over
to Dr. DeLorme's elegant brand new tudu
fountain and ordered the thing to De kept u
'sizzin' tiil Polly aod Charley had all the
delicious soda water they could drink.
"Don't forget," added Uncle Josh, "to
erne here with your preferiptionsoas Dr.
DeLorme and M essrs. Sibert and Wood, bis
clerks, are competent pharmacists Hnd use
pure and wholesome drugs."
"Oh !" ejaculated Polly, as they halted he
fore a show window, "what a perfectly love?
ly slipper." "Yes," said Uncle Josh,"
Walsh & Shaw's stock can': he equalled ia
style and extent in this section. Go in,
look it over and get acquainted."' "It
might have been poney not to have extended
that invitation, bad not Uncle Josh koowa
what wise economy it is to trade at Walsh &
Shaw's, for Polly found goods and ?-rices so
seductive that she purchased an cuttii from a
satin slipper to a handsome waikiug boot.
Charley 5nvested ia gent's fine shoes, while
Uncle Josh indulged in a stout farm hoot.
No one needing footwear can resist the styles
aad prices o?ered at this store.
While Uncle Josh WHS wondering where to
go next, Polly suddenly H.ked : ,;Unc!e
wheiecan I find the lmdioe millinery estab
oient?" 4 Just H few doorf further on," re?
marked ?:?cl- J<??, *-?nd we will vHr Miss
j McDon&id, Aim, '?>}' t e way h"S 03 haud OUe
? of tbe completest stocks of tuiilinery to be
i found in the city. You CHU pet what you
want there, the latest styles and lowest
I prices being her mono She has the experi
I ence which guarantees that when you hav?
! purchased of her you have a thing at the
! lowest possible price and the satisfaction of
I knowing that your work has been done by a
competent artist." Ia a few hours later
- there never was a happier girl than Polly.
At this point Uncle Jo?h suggested a resort
to some place of refreshment.
At the refreshment table the old man
waxed philosopical. "I have heard it said,"
he remarked, "that newly married people
could live on love aod scenery, but an old
man of ray experience, knows better. You
should never neglect your larder, That im
portsnt adjunct to housekeeping controls
masculine temper. To that end you roust
patronize a grocer on whom you can depend
for honest goods. Ic my dealings with
Ingram & Winn I have found them perfectly
reliable. Yon will fijd them careful dealers, I
always full stocked with every possible thing |
in the line of staple and fancy groceries, I
fresh and first-class, no shelf worn goods j
there-while the prices are dowo to brass j
tacks. Iugram &Winn are pleasing tbe peo
pie mighty well and I want you to trude
there."
"Yes, and I mu3t have an album, Uncle I
Josh," exclaimed Polly. "Yes, and a bible ?
with a reasonably big family register," in- I
terrnpted the old man, "so we'll go over to I
H. G. Osteeo &Co's.. Book S?ore. You'll i
Sod many articles indispensible for the par- |
lor as well as the library there, and as for va- i
riety, they have au unequalled stock. So j
here Polly's purchases included miscellaneous
books, and faocy stationary.
Ea ropte for their home the gentlemen call
ed at the Watchman and Southron and The J
Item office. "You'll want the news every !
week," said Uncle Josh, "and as these are |
the favorite papers of ibis section, I'll sub- j
scribe. Please send them from next Monday
to our new house on Liberty Street, which !
we bought through the hustling Real Estate j
Agents, Messrs. Gateen & Moses, who are the ;
most obliging and courteous young men in ;
the business, and ? advise all fathers in need
of houses to see them."
Upon rejoining Polly she beean to volubly j
express her thanks. "You have bought us
everything," she exclaimed.
"Only oae thing," replied Uncle Josh, re- !
fiectiv?ly, "but I can remedy that. J. D. j
Craig always has a nice line ot them and you j
can gut one whenever you wan't it; I'll pay ;
for the best.'?
"W-h-y," exclaimed Polty with gre*: sur?
prise, "Uncle, what can it be? '
"Well, it's a baby corriage, and-"
But Polly had fainted.

The Rainbow Party wnich took place at
ex-Representative W. 0. Cain's on Thursday
night, was attended by between 60 and 70
people and the proceeds of the eveoiog
amounted to the neat little sum of eight dol?
lars. The time was pleasantly parsed in
hemming the aprons of the girls and young
ladies, games, promenadiBg and music. A
number of young men entered the lists as
knights of the needle (if I may be permitted
to coin a new expression) and hemmed the
aprons, which, by the way, is a delightful
occcpation. The jadges of the sewiBg were:
Ure. Miles Plowden, Mrs. Soule Mellen and
Miss Calley Wells, and the prize- a pretty
bouquet-wa? awarded to Mr. WillieTisdale.
That night the giris looked sweeter thao the
"sweet violets," which are now bloomiog in
the "mossy dells" and woodlands. Among
the young men present were tbe following
who came down from Sumter: Messrs. Bay?
ward Yeadon, Ernest Boltmao, Donald Auld,
