A few of the recipients of Valentines have not become reconciled yet. There will be five Saturdays in this month, which will not occur again until 1936. The few fruit trees that were beginning to bloom will be blighted by the cold snap. The snow Monday night gave a zest to tbeat mospbere that was bracing, but not pleasant. A few more crossings like the one from the Post Office to Ryttenberg's store are needed. Two 6olid cars'of tobacco were shipped from the Sumter Tobacco Warehouse last Wednesday. Tax returns should be made to the Auditor before the 20th instant. After that date the penalty will be attached The Tobacco Warehouse had a large amount of tobacco on the floor Monday, which sold at fair prices. The Mayor is having an easy time now. There are very few drunks and disorderlies and consequently few fines to be imposed. Tbe extra meeting of Beniah Chapter No. 25 R. A. M , that was appointed for last night, has been postponed until nert Thursday night. Marius B. Saunders who was arrested on Saturday on the charge of selling liquor, gave bond for his appearance and was re? leased. A car load of Sumter hogs were shipped to Charleston Monday by Mr. W. B. Boyle. Over tbirtv of tbe hogs were bought from Mr. H. Harby. The dispensary constables are not seizing very much contraband liquor at present. This maj be an indication of hard times and scarcity of money. The Tobacco Warehouse will not close for the season until about March 1st to 10th. The sales of tobacco during the past week have been very good. The Reel Squads have determined to have a hose wagon aad a horse to pull it, and with? in a few months they may be expected to be ready to go tc a fire in a hurry when one oc? curs. In police circles : Chief Bradford slipped up and split the sidewalk wide open yesterday morning. So much for the snow and care? lessness. He was not arrested for disorderly conduct. Lillian Lewis, the well known actress, will play an engagement in this city within the next two weeks, Max ?'Reil will deliver h?3 lecture on March 4th, which will conclude the Lyceum course. The young ladies of the Sumter Institute will give an enteriainment on Thursday eve? ning, February 20th. Invitations have been issued, and those who received them are fortunate. The candidates for Mayor are numerous, i but none are definitely in the field for Alder- ? man. As there are eight io be chosen it is j about time for some ,?voter" or "citizen'' to bring out the Aldermanic candidates. The Clover Leaf Dairy Farm, owned by j Mr. D. Jas. Winn is an illustration of what a well managed enterprise can accomplish. J The demand for the Clover Leaf Butter is a!- : ways greater than the supply. Fertilizers are still being hauled from the i depot in large quantities. The prospect in j Sumter County ls that more cotton, more to- j bacco, morecorn and more small grain will ; be raised in 1896 than in 1895. While the J farmers are preparing for a large crop, they are not so foolish as to neglect the provision j crops for cotton. There is a large gully at the foot of Liberty j street, near the old C S & N depot that needs attention. It ha3 been washed out by the water discharging from the drain on Liberty street and unless it is filled in, will become much larger and dangerous. MARRIED. Mr. S. Lee Young, of Remberts, and Miss May Walker, of Camden, were? married Wednesday night at the home of the bride's mother, Rev. Peter Stokes officiating. Mr. John R. McLeod, of Spring Hill, and Miss Eunice Carson, of Fairfield, were mar? ried on the afternoon of the 12th at the borne of the bride's parents. Mr. DougUs Carnes, of Bishopville, ?nd M is.-? Irene Galloway, of Ionia, t bis county, were married Wednesday night at Salem Church by Rev. T. W. Scruggs. A HAPPY MARRIAGE. The marriage of Mis3 Nonie A. H?rvio, of this town, and Doctor D. D. Salley, of Eflisto, took place last Thursday evening in the parlor of the bride's parents. The cere? mony was to have taken pince in the Presby? terian church, but on "account of a recent j affliction in the family the affair was made as nearly private as could be. Rev. Jame3 Mc- j Dowell petformed the ceremony in the pres- i euee of relatives and a few special friends. The bride was attired in cream albatross and the pin used 'o hold ber wreath of orange blossoms was the s*me th^t was used on the occasions of her mother and grandmothers' marriages. The happy pair received a num? ber of handsome presents. Dr. and Mrs. Salier left last Monday to visit relatives in Ornngoburg, county, when thev will leave for Edisto, their future borne. The bride is very popular bere, having been active in church work as well as matters of jociety, and up to a short time ago was one of the teachers in the Collegiate Institute where she endeared herself to the children. The groom was principal of the Institute at one time, and be, too, had many friends herr. We but voice th? feelings of the en? tire community when we wish them health, wealth, and many pvs -Manning Times, Feb. 12. DEATH. Mrs. Martha Elizabeth Reville, widow of the late A. J. Reville, aged 71 years, died at the home of her grandson, Mr. Jackson Win? gate, of Remberts, on the morning of Feb? ruary 11th, after a brief illness of pneumo? nia. The funeral services were held at Bethany Church, near Manville, on Wednes? day. Fuller Bros., and Bristow .?old a car load of horses and mules at auction Monday. Prices good. The Mechanics' and Traders' Insurance Company of New Orleans contributed $5.00 to the Delgar Reel Fair. This was received after the list of other contributions was made up. The republican idea is said to he gaining converts in the country, and many men who have heretofore been good democrats will vote the national Rebublicxn ticket at the next election. The opportunity of securing a tobacco : factory for this city should not be neglected j An investment of four or five thousand dol- j lars will secure the factory with donble that ? capital and a man of experience to manage i', j That he would mac-age it to make money j cannot be doubted since he is wilting t>? invest one half the money himself. The coming of the Wizard Oil Comp ny bas been baned by the majority of those wno remember the last visit of the companv. as a boon to the city. When iast here the Wizaid Oil Corapary remainrd several weeks and gave excellent entertainments, both in public j and in the Opera House. Several entertain- ! menis wiil be given thi3 week in the Opera House. Mr. J. D. Chewning, who was shot some time ago by Mr. J. H. Tindal is about well j again, and he sent word to the sheriff by his j father that he was ready to answer any pro- ; cess which may be against bim in the hands of the sheriff. The sheriff told the elder j Chewning that he had no knowledge of any process against bis son ; that nothing had been lodged in his office by any trial justice or other officer for execution, but should any- j thing be lodged he would do his duty prompt ly.-Manning Times, Feb. 12 The nomination of Maj. H. F. Wilson for Mayor adds another good man to the list of candidates, and there.seems to be no doubt but that the city will be provided with a first class executive officer, for out of the number : of candidates in the field the people should be able to select a Mayer that will fill the ! bill. / The ladies of the Methodist Church will give a dinner on the first Monday of March. The place at which the dinner will be given I will be announced later. The proceeds from ! the dinner will be used for charitable pur j poses. A liberal patronage is asked by those who will furnish the dinner. The Hamlin Wizard Oil Company bad such a small audience Monday night that the per? formance was not given. Af,er a song or two' and a dance, it was announced that the performance would be discontinued, and the j audience would be given tickets for the per formance to-night or have their money re funded. This announcement was made oo j account of tbe small audience and the very; bitter night. Last night they had a good attendance. Thelienmule is already lamenting hisbard j fate, and as he goes out of town under whip he brays most mournfully as the odor of fer? tilizer fills bis sensitive nostrils and prevents a free access of the healthful ozone. The j mule is a cottontot by force of circumstasces, : and has lent his. assistance to the overpro- j duction of cotton for years, yet he has never i ceased to protest by raising hts voice in loud I and resounding tones against the all cotton ! theory of farming. Tbe farmers of Sumter j county have not returned to the all cotton j crop, but they are planting more cotton than j they will have market for, and unless they ! are well fixed to bold their cotton crop until late in the season thev may as well not plant it. A negro came into town Monday after- ! I noon and told a cock and bull story about I I having met a white man in the road who ? I snot at him several times, but never touched ; i him. The negro said that be was coming ! into town on a w8gon of wood and met a ! white man in a dog cart near the Mile Branch. The white man told him to halt, i but he did not do so. The white man began to shoot at him and he tumbled out of the wagon and hugged the ground. He was not hit by any of the bullets but one passed throgh his hat, while another passed :ir? comfortably close to the ear of the would-be ' policy holder. After shooting a few tioje? the white man who was doing the shooting went on and ?eft the darkej' in peace. The Citadel cadets will be invited to come to Sumter this summer and have the Annual Commencement in this city. It is the custom for the cadets to visit two places each summer, j camping in one ?or a week and marching across country to the other where they go j into camp for another week. The commence- 1 mentis held while they are in the second j town. Darlington is in easy distance from j Sumter and that place would, without ques- j tion be glad to have the cadets for a week, and would entertain them royally. Speak? ing for Sumter the writer can say that the people are anxious to have the cadets come ? and will spare no effort to make their stay j here as pleasant as possible. There are many inducements that can be offered, not the | least of which ?3 the warm welcome and bos- j p??n?ty that awaits the cadet9 and thc officers ; of the cor? s. A Chance for a Tobacco Factory. A gentlemen who is interested in tobacco manufacturing in North Carolina and his bad many years su-ressftil experience snent yes? terday in this city looking over the field with the purpose of locating a tobnrco fac'Ory here if he should he sitisfied with the con? ditions and the outlook of this place as a tobacco maiket. Heis prepared to make a very favorable offer to any person or company that is interested in the tobacco interest of this section and will he re>?dy to talk busi? ness to the proper parties at any time. He is prepared to furnish one half or mon? of the : rf quired capital to erect, equip and operate a : factory for manufacturing smoking and plug i tobacco and will give the factory his personal j attention. The factory in the beginning, j would require not more than S3,000 to (quip and operate it in a satisfactory manner As the man in question is thoroughly re? liable and is experienced in his line of busi? ness, it would be well for the men in this city who have money to invest and desire the establishment of factories that will add to the wealth of the place and increase the num? ber of wage earners, to look into the matter and if they are satisfied 'hat a tobacco fac? tory will prove a paying investment, and of benefit to the city, they should take hold of it. It would be, perhaps, a good idea for the Sumter Manufacturing Company to take hold of this tobacco factory and put' the money that has been accumulated into it. The com? pany will then have something tangible to show for the money that has been collected and will ecourage the stockholders to take a renewed interest in the company. It is a fact, beyond question, that a half dozen en? terprises with small capital, say $10, OOO each, are of much greater benefit to a town and prove more profitable than one large factory with a capital much greater'han the aggre? gate capi'alof the half dozen small factories. It mi?ht be the wisest plan and the more profitable one in the end for the Sumter Man? ufacturing Company to use its capital in inducing capitalists and manufacturers seeking a location io come to Sum? ter. The company could lake half interest in a dozen small enterprises on this basis and the benefit to the city would be from twice to three times as great as would result from the erection of one large cotton mill. For every moneyed ra-.n that is in? duced to locate in Sumter or invest bis money here, will be a source of strength, in? asmuch as they will be interested in the growth and prosperity of the place and will use their influence in promoting it. In any event, tho opportunity of securing a tobacco factory, although a small one, shall not be allowed to pHSS by neglected. If the Sumter Manufacturing Company cannot or wili not take hold of it, then a company should be formed to do so. Religious Note. St. J.imes Evangelical Lutheran Congrega? tion, Pastor J. C. Trauger.

Webster and Edmund Teas were in ' town ? night or two figo, and as their corr,- , ing and going usually has a political signifi- : canee, inquiries werf- m.-ide concerning their ! mission. It was learned that they were look- ' ing niter their ir.terests in the Republican ; corpse which hus recently shown signs of re? animation. ?; seems that the hatchet has not been buried and that war between the Bray? ton and Webster factions still exists. Tho prospective organization of white Republican clubs by the Brayton faction has caused the Websterites to b??nir themselves, ami they are trying to revi\ e enthusiasm of the faithful black Republican? to counter-balance the in? fusion of new blood from the Democratic par? ty. Tiiere will In: a nice stat<; of affairs when ' the "lily whites" and the black Republicans j get to warring over the patronage." One of ; the Webster republicans says that "Webster ain't going to let that new 'fraction' get any? thing r?n h'm, and he camp over to see what that fraction w:;s un to."
