The Ducker & Bultman Company is as j chock full of young blood and new life as the store is of bargins.

The people of Sumter to keep posted on groceries aod bargains in all lines must read the daily ! advertisement of the Ducker & Bultman Co.

From a reliable colored man if was learned last week thar two white rr.cn, evidently Northerners, have been travelling through . ibis county selling to the ignorant negroes what they represented to be moulds for mak? ing money. The country should be made too hot to bold these rascals and they should be made to leave it at once. From what could be ascertained concerning the moulds which the negroes obtained. it is believed] that the moulds were as g.-?at frauds as the men who have been selling them. The mouids j do not turn out even a tolerable imitation ot a coin of the United States, and tbe negroes \ who imagined they would grow rich by muk- j ing lead dollars,?r^ di9?rp<dnted >?~d .. r?

She was from New Brighten, Pa , and came South for tbe win'er on account of ill-health She re? mained io Asheville, N. C., during the fall and came to this city earlj in December after finding that the climate of Asheville was not beneficial to her. For a time the milder cli? mate appeared to have a most beneficial ef? fect and she entertained the hope of, at least, a partial if not a complete recovery. But the hope was vain and gradually her strength waned until she passed peacefully away this morning. Until this morning she was able to take a daily walk when the weather was fine and the sudden collapse and death was a great shock to all who had known her, although they knew that- he was marked ?s another victim of consump? tion and her days were numbered Miss Dietrick w*s but twenty-three ye?rs of age, and her early death bas removed an accomplished woman, of a sigularly lovable and gentle disposition.

The Opera House was not only filled, but crowded, last night by the audience that turned out to witness the Karnival of Kom erce. The display was so much more magni- I ficen? than any one anticipated that the en- I tire audience was delighted. Ninety young! ladies, a great many little boys and girls not j to mention a half dozen or so young men, took parc io tbe display. The young ladies : were appropriately and handsomely costumed, and, as expected of them, all were charming. ; It is the unanimous verdict of all who were 1 i present last night that not only was the Kar- j nival a success, tut it was one of the very j best ard most entertaining attractions thar has ever graced the stage of the Opera House.

The Board of County Commissioners met yesterday for the transaction of regular busi? ness. The most important matter considered was the establishment of the county chain gaDg. The Board decided to orgao'Zi the chain gang at once and commence work on the public roads in the vicioity of the city Of Sumter. An overseer and the guards have not been selected yet, but they will be en? gaged between ?his dat* and neit week, when the gang is expected to be ready for duty. Clothing and shackles have been ordered from the penitentiary to ensure the comfort and safety of the members of the gang, for it would demoralize and defeat all plans were the convicts not kept in safety so that they shall be on band every morning. It has not been decided on positively, but the Board is thinking of quartering the chain gang in the old jail. If this is done the chain gang will be under the sole control of the overseer that shall be selected. Sumter Lodge No. 8, I. O. G. T.
