Mr. J. W. McKiever is putting down a Belgian block pavement on Harvin Street under authority of the City Council. Thus il is seen that a beginning bas been made on ! tbeimprovement of the streets-tbe?thingroost desired by nine-tenths of the citizens o? Sum? ter. The 0{d City Council, the old much aoused council, the Pierson Council, will henceforth take the credit of having^ inaugu? rated the era of paved -ireets. Ask\^Capt.

Mood, of this city, ia from the Spartanburg Daily Herald of April 19: Rev. John A. Mood died at his residence on North Church street yesterday at 7 p. m Mr. Mood had been sick for several weeks and hopes had been entertained of his re covery, but they were not realized. The best medicol attention was given him. Drs. Dean and Che.s. W. Thompson were daily nt his bedside and did ali in their power, but the sentence had gone forth and the aged veteran of 73 years entered into his rest Mr. Mood had been a member of the South Carolina annual conference since January 1847, and had ever been a faithful and true minister. His family have the sincere sympathy of the community. The births and deaths reported to the Health Officer during the past week, are as follows: Births-1 colored male. Daaths I colored female, 60 years old ; 1 colored female, 21 years old ; 1 colored female, 8 rears old. A street sprinkler to keep down the dust in the business part of the citv is an impera? tive need. The clouds of dust that have filled Main ?od Liberty streets for the last few days are intolerable Mr. Thomas B. Richardson bas in his pos session a very interesting Revolutionary document that should by right belong to some historical society in this Stare. It is the original return of the First Regiment, South Carolina Foot, Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, colonel, made on May 1st, 1779. The document is the property of a Baltimore dealer in relics and ts for sale The King's Daughters have charge of China's soda fountain again this week, the arrangement ^having proven entirely satis? factory and profitable. Tbe young ladies have been kept busy each day and until late in the evening. In the evenings, after tea, China's soda fountain has been the most popular resort in town, being crowded with young folks and many of the older people, too, have remembered the King's Daughters and bav? paid them friendly visits. There is considerable opposition to the ap? pointment of a cotton weigher for thia place The opposition comes from intelligent men in both town and county, who do not believe that any benefit will result either to the town, cotton buyers or farmers. People should be very careful and consider the matter in all lights;before signing a petition to the Board of County Commissioners for the appoint ? ment of a cotton weigher for this city. They may do a serious injury to the town ?nd place a tax on the cotton growers that will be an injury rather than benefit to them. Base ball is almost as dead in Sumter as Julius Caesar was after Mark Antony finished his oration. The small boys have a club or two, but even th?y are not enthusiastic A week or two ago there was some talk of put? ting the ball grounds at the Bicyc le Park in good condition and then organizing a club, but nothing more ha? been heard of the prop? osition. Mr G. N. Marshall bas said that be would give a wagoo to haul olav in the ball grounds, and would assist in reviving ?ne national game. If there are any b-sce ball enthusiasts in Sumter they should get together and give the people some amusemcot in the afternoons when the stor-s close at 6 o clock. The balloon ascension by the aeronaut con? nected with Dr. Blue Mountain Joe's Show was w itnessed by a'great crowd of people Monday afternoon, and nearly everbody in the city had a view of the balloon as it soared across the eastern section of the city. The balloon did not reach a very high alti? tude, only about 1,200 feet, owiog toan accidental" ripping of the bottom section to which the ropes supporting the aeronaut were attached. There will be another ascension this afternoon, if the necessary repairs on the balloon are completed and on Satur? day afternoon there will positively be ?n ^as? cension The ?scent will be made to the height of 8,000 feet and the aeronaut wjll perform numerous feat3 on the trapez while j aseendiEg. j The Pinafore Performance. The presenfation of Gilbert & Sullivan's we! known and popular ?pera, H. M S. Pinafore by .-. curt)pun? of Sumter amateurs la? I evening was a decided and gt a ' i fy i n ti success from every standpoint. As was -aid in The Daily Item yes'erday. ot the full d-ess rehearsal, and can he said again with neater truth, the performaf.cj was ra-trked ot a degree of excellence throughout that WHS as creditable as gratifying to all who partici? pated i fi it. The orchestra scored another triumph by the excellent manner in wh ct? the orchestral parts and all the accompaniments werepiayd The orchestra left nothing to be desired, and the unusual smoothness of the performance was undoubtedly due to the r*gulntity and perfect time of the music. The principals were all very good, but Kendrick Wilder HS Dick Dead Eye waa the Star of the evening. Mrs. H J. darby, as Josephine, but added to her well merited reputation aa 6 sweet tonc jed singer. Mr. A. G. Flowers, ?9 Kaiph Rackstraw, was very good, and for a first appearance made a decidedly favorable impression. Mr. Rambo, aa Capt. Corcoran, fully sus? tained 'he cast, and evidenced bis train? ing as a musician and elocutionist. Mr. Bartow Walsh personated Sir Joseph Porter. K C.

Miss Amraie Teicher, who has a sweet and oultirtted voice, weil susiaioed the role of Hebe Mr. C. M Hurst, Jr., and Master Waverly Levy, as Boatswain and Middy, looked and acted their parts well. In f?ct, taken as a whole, the performance was as near a complete success a? possible, and th* Managers showed excellent judgment in making the cast and otther arrangements. That they were fully supported by the efforts of the entire company has neen shown. The chorus was composed as follows, and when arranged upon the stage-whicn was fitted up to represent the deck of a ship, with aback scenery of ocea.i ?sra es-presented HS flue a collection of youth a. d beauty and oe Comiig costumes as could he made anywhere: Male Chorus-E A.

Graham in the south? eastern suburb of the ci'y is decidedly the brat drivew vy any where in close proximity to the city, and has been ever since it wa9 opened several y^ars ago, very popular wi'b all who go driving. This drivf*?y was opened by Mr Graham and put in fine condi? tion at his own expense and has been kei?t up by him. It is now in need of re? pairs and one cu more t-nrtgee need re? building to make ii a very nearly perfect mile speedway, and the writer is of the opinion that the city should do something toward maintaining if. Mr Graham will do his share, furnish teams, road scoops and hand." to operate them, and all that the city would have to do would be to put the fore ' of street hands on the boulevard for a week or such matter to level the roadbed and re? pair the bridges.
