Tbe tournament Tbursdav was the greatest attraction withia a score of miles of Somter and nearly all of the young people and .jaoy of tbe older set, wbo for many moons eschewed frivolous things that amuse but do not instruct, were present. It was as ideal d?y fer out of door sport?bright, calm, pleasant?aod tbe winds were as soft aod low as tbe whispers of first love, and as caressing as amaiden's 6rst kiss on tbe left cheek of a man three days unshaven. Tbe day was tbe uD-to-datest thing to be found on Novem ber 26th, and tbe Knigbts and ladies, end the spectators in general, were preseut and thronging tbe lists, quite awhile in advance of tbe advertised boor for tbe beginning of tbe contest, nevertheless there was a great tardioes nd tbe gentle aud joyous chase after thrta small round rings did not begin in earnest until somewhat r ore than one halfof tbe gorgeous a d incomparably lovely Southern Thanksgiving Day had passed? passed into the irrevocable past, t?nd while it was busying itself in passing the assemb'ed aod expectant hos^s were also holy?busy getting hungry. It is a fact that a few could not endure tbe pangs of unsatisfied ap petites, and hie," tbem-elves away to their domiciles aod dined, then returned <to "the tournament and found it etiil in progrsss. The tournament was all rigbt, and with the day thrown in, was all that could be desir ed aod it is not saying too much by half to as sert that every one wbo attendend it was able to say truthfully that the day was pleasantly spent. If all could live to see a: least a hundred such Thank-giving Days our cups would overflow and our yearly thanks in anticipation of future pleasures as well as for past blessings would be fervent and sincere. Tbe result of the tilt was as follow: First prize R. E. Durant Second prize Blandina Durant. Third prize W A. Burkett. Fourth prize Temple Friersoo.

THE LEAP YEAR BALL. Somehow Pair "Woman Excella In Such Things Jealousy, the green-eyed monster, Thurs day niebt filled the hearts of the young men who bad heretofore been the society leader*, par excellence, of Snmter, far tbey were forced to admit that the ladies of Sum ter, when a ball is the subject under con sideration, can manage it much better than the men A ball, under the direction of the ladies, is perfect, oothiag is left to fe desired and those who are so fortunate as to be tbe guest* of tbe occasion?eren the forlorn etaijs ?enjoy themselves to the fullest, for non- ?re forgotten, not one left to lag supeifluous on the stage, save, of course, that nonentity the man wbo cannot dance, yet goes to dances, and even that unfortunate creature, and there were several of them pre ent Thursday night, was treated much better than he merited. The ladies wbo managed the bull realized that for eight long years tbey would have no other opportunity of demonstrating to their fr'erids, the men, how such functions should be conducted, and this realization inspired them to make every detail the perfected ex ample for future iruidance. Tbe Leap Year Ball would be demeaned by saying that it was a success ; it was simply a gorgeous, glorious, and enjoyable triumph, and all wbo were privileged to share in the pleasures of the occasion take off their hats in aratefnl appreciation to the ladies who provided the feast of goods things for their unworthy ser vants. These remarks may seem extravagant to those who remained at home and retired to their prosaic couch, boH to do justice to the subject the English language must be used in its fullness even though it reach the verge of extravagance. Those who were pteeent as spectators have a faint realization of the pleasures that were enjoyed by those in the outmost circ e; only those who par ticipated know the fullness of the pleasure provided for the gentlemen by the ladies of Snmter. Tbe attendance was larger than is generally seen at dances in this city ; in the germ?n there were more than thirty coonles on* the floor at one time, aod figures dinced were new and very ranch prettier than the writer has ev?r seen during a reporter's experience of six or eight years The music for the first dance began shortly after 9:30 o'clock, and, save for tbe inter missions, when the dainty supper was served, there was do cessation until af:er tbe third bour of tbe morning bad long passed Then the strains of Home, SweefHome, that matked a melodious finis to the joyous hours that had sped all too quickly, in formed one f*nd all that the ball?tbe leap year ball of '96~was over and it was time to say good Light Tbe good nights were reluctamlv spoken, and with th good nights, the sincere thanks for an evening of unalloyed pleasure and the un eatraiaed admiration for a moat decided success were mingled in equal proportions The Leap Year ?*11 was a success and it was most thoroughly enjoyed by all Spring in the Embracelof Winter, After tbe storm last August when the greater part of the fruit was blown from the pear trees, a second crop of fruit was put on by many of the trees in this city Owing to the protracted v??rm wf.tber much of tbe fruit had developed rapidly. ^A gentleman brought to this office this morning eoate twigs with Leconte pears and leaves encased in ice. One of the pears was the size of a large egg. A Genuine Blizzard. The blizzard that raged last week over the northwest arrived here in full force last night and to-day everything is covered with sleet and ice. and tbe streets are almost blockaded with limbs and tree tops, broken down by tbe ice aod wind In many places the tele phone and electric light wires are dowo un der tbe tree tops Tbe telephone line is only partially in operation to-day. Hands are at work clearing tbe wires, but the work is bard and dangerous, and as tbe storm con tinues to rage it is not known at this writing whether tbe electric lights will be able to operate to-night or not. However every ef fort will be made to have tbe lines clear, and it is thought that they will be. A Generous Gift. Sometimes, but not so very often, a gen eroun gift is not a totnl surprise, and when tbis is tbe case the absence of the element of onexpectne3B is attributable entirely to tbe well known liberality of the giver.? The generous gift received Monday by Delgar Reel Squad will cause but little surprise, for tbe giver, idr. H. Harby, is known for his liberality when a worthy and deserving object claims bis attention. To-day when the Bazaar Committee of Delgar R?el Squad called oo Mr. Harby and asked for a cootributionf be quietly put down a pair of horses, and told tbe boys that a car load of horses bad j a31 arrived, from which they couid select a pair to suit themselves Tbe very grnerous gift was highly appreciated, and tbe way it wss given was even more handsome than the girt itself. Tbe Harby pair will be r*filed at the Bazaar. if jou are anxious to Sod the most reliable blood-purifier, read in Ayer's Almanac'.Le testimonials of those wbo have been cured of such terrible diseases as catarrh, rebumatism, and scrofula, by tbe U3e of Ayer's Sarsapa rille.

FraDk Seales, colored, who lives on the Stateburg road, several miles from this city, when in town Monday reported that be and bieson were Ku-Kluxed on Friday nigbt by a crowd of men. He said tbat there were "oceans" of people in the crowd and tbat be recognized only six of them and these he had indicted. The reason assigned for tbe visit of tbe Ku-Klux was that Seales bad been taking up stock under tbe stock law, and this had enraged his neighbors. Further particulars may be obtained when the case comes to trial. How to Prevent Pneumonia. At this time of the year a cold is very eas ily contracted, and if left to run its course without the aid of some reliable cough medi cine is liabie to result in tbat dread disease, pneumonia.
