Knieht. nee Miss Belle Guerrv, occurred on Saturday night after a brief illness ofless than two weeks It was sad, and doublv 9ad, by reason of the unex pectedness of the bereavement which husband and friends were califd upon to bear. Mrs. Knieht gave birth to a child two weeks ago, and both mother and child ' were doi'?e well, and it was thought she | would soon he restored to her usual health, j Her condition gave so little cause to appre- ! hend a fatal turn to ber illness tht.t Mr i Knight left home on Thursday to attend the j session of the Sumter District Conference. \ then in session in Camden. On Friday she i became much worse, but when consulted I about telee""Dbine to her husband to return, would not consent, believing that the ill ness was but temporary.

The interment was mad* in the Sumter cemetery, j In this th:* sad affliction, the keenest that a ! young husband could ne called upon to en- j dure, Mr. Knight has the sympathy of his many friends and of the entire community; j aod the little children, deprived so early of a j mother's love aod tender care, for them manv a mother's heart is filled with tender pain and commisseratton.

The store of S. I,, Grier, on the corner of Main and Republirnn Street?, was entered by a burglar on Saturday nigh' and between thirty and fifty dollars worth of goods s olen. The entrance was made by boring through the buck window und removing the iron bar. so that the window couid r>e opei ed The burglar removed the shade from the lamp and pulled down the cunains in the front windows so that he could tr.nke his selection of goods undisturbed bv the police. He made up an assortments of groceries, shoes, suspenders, shirts and dry goods. Exactly how much he took Mr. Grier could not say, but the amount is not less than S30. Police man Holnia? discovered thnt tbe store had haen robbed about daylight and sent up to Mr. Grier's house for him. When Mr. Grier came down he found tbe lamp from which the shade ban: been removed on fire, and tn a fair way to start a fire. A Burglar Caught. Frank Williams, colored, was captured Men day night about 11 o'clock by Policeman Gal lagher in the act ot hreaking open the back window of Dennis O'Donnell's store on Liberty Street. He had broken one hinge of tbe window shutter and slipped the bolt. In a few moments more the job would havt been complete, and -he would have been in tbe store. Policeman Gallagher was on his beat on Liberty Street, and hearing the noise Williams made, went into tbe back lot to investigate. As the lot is a small one ned there is but one entrance, the would-be bur glar VHS hemmed in and could not escapp. He was captured without trouble and lodged in the Gnard House, where he stili remains. He will be taken before Trial Justice Wells this afternoon or to-morrow morning fora Dreliminary hearing, and as the proof is positive he will undoubtedly to go to jail to await tri*l at the next term of Court. Wil liams is a strange negro, and is unknown to tbe police. He claims Mayesville as bis place of residence, and says he has been in town only two days. There is a suspicion that he * is the man who robbed Grier's store on Sat urday night, but as yet there is no proof to substantiate this suspicion. A Chaoge in Schedule. A change in the schedule of tbe Bisbopville train went into effect Monday afternoon. The train will leave at 5.30 p. m , instead of 6.15 as heretofore. This tram will, however, wait at Elliotts for the C. S. & N. train so that any passengers from Columbia or Augusta may make connection for Bishopville and other points on the South and North Caro lina R. R. Mr. S. Y. Delgar and Coroner Commander, who spent two days last week at the State Farm?the old DeSaussure place?which is under the superintendency of Capt. E. C. Allen, have given the writer a few dots con cerning the farm and the crops that may be of interest to the public. The crop this season consists of 465 acres of cotton, 650 acres of corn, 125 acres oats, 25 acres sugar cane, 85 acres peas, 6 acres sweet potatoes, 3 acres onions, 3 acres vegetables and 2 acres Irish potatoes, giving a total of 1364 acres under cultivation. The crops on the farm are said to be in magnificent condition Messrs. Commander and Delgar both say that they have never seen such fine cotton anywhere else. Capt. Allen has everything in the best shape, and the farm is a model io many respecti. Unless some disasterjoccurs, an immense yield of cotton and corn will be obtained from the DeSaussure plaoe. Everywhere we go we find some one who has been cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla. It is the greatest curative agent. Iti? the one great blood purifier and nerve tonic The Seveoth Annual C nvention ar-d Tournament of the Firemen's Association of North Carolina will be held at New Bern. N. C, August 6th to 9th inclusive, and Supt. Bloom of the Fire Department is thinking of attending, having received an invitation io do so. The annual tournament of the Fire men's Association of North Carolina is one of ihe events of the year in the old North Sta:e, and all the Fire Superintendents attend, and it is authorita'ively stated that the many improvements in the fire depart ments in the North Carolina towns are due to the practical benefits derived from the annual convention and tournament. The firemen of Florence are at work on a plan to have a Firemen's Tournameut in that city on Labor Day?the first Monday in September. It is proposed, the writer learns from a letter received 0y Supt. H. B. Bloom, that the contest will be for baodsome purses and the championship of the State. All companies in the State will be invited, and if possible tb? Independents of Columbia, and Delgar Squad, of this city, will be brought together to run the long talked of race. The plans have not yet been fully developed for the Florence Tournament, but those who are moving in tbe matter have the backing of some of the leading business men of the place. --^em> ? ? ?? ? Ii tbe Florence firemen succeed in arrang ing a tournament for Labor Day, there will be ru< trouble about the Sumter Squads. One or two squads will go o*er to hold up the reputation of the Game Cock City, and incidentally win a pursy or two. If agree able to the Independents ot Columbia, it will require very little persuasion to induce Delgar No. 3, to meet them and decide which squad is entitled to claim the superiority. - ^^^^?^ ?4> ? -*wn^?? ' Mamma, was that a sugar-plum you jtis't gHve me?" asked little Mabel. "No, dear, it was one of Dr. Ayer's Pills." "I'lease, may I have another?" "Not now, dear; one of those nice pills is all vim need at present, be cause every dose i? etfrcti~e." Cotton Weigher A public cotton weigher fur Sumter is ?gniti talked of in some quarters by those who are interested in 'he welfare of the'place as a cotton market This rm has b*en talked of and discussed off and o.. or a number of year?, but nothing has been done to make the proposition take shape. It is granted by nearly nil ^vho have considered the matter that public weigher would be a conveni I enee to both producer and buyer, and tbnt the creation of the office would result to the benefit of the market, as both parties would be better satisfied It is to be hoped that the : talk will amount to something this time, and j that those who are really interested and are j in a position to do something will take hold ? of the matter in earnest and eee that Sumter j hns public weigher for this season. If it is j put off until next season, the eiperience of ; former years will t>e repeated next year and ? Sumter wili still be without a public weigher. ?M * I?Ml I There will t e several new cotton buyers j stationed in Sumter this season, and, from I what can be learned, !*n=y propose booming i Sumter as a cotton market. Tbey will buy I from the wagone and strictly by grade. If a ! planter has fine cotton he will get the highest ; price the market will permit : if he has low ? grade cotton he will get the limit of the ! marker, but no more. Thete will be no i grading up poor cotton or grading down fine i cotton. There is no reason why the receipts j of cotton in Sumter should not show a large { increase at the end of thi3 season over pre ! viou3 years. j Hood's Pills for the liver and bowels, act } easily yet promptly and effectively.
