Judge Earle will probably not preside at the term of court to be held io this city, for be will have been elected to the Seoate before that titre, and bis successor will doubtless be elected imme? diately after the Senatorial election. The Weather bureau's prediction that there would be snow Monday night did not prove to be wholly false, for a few flakes did fall dur ring the early part of the night.

Brown, who was seated at his right, to ask a blessi-g, which be did, and then Mr. Carpenter and his as sistants of the Sumter Restaurant saw that every one was attentively baited upon.

The ball will be complimentary to tbe yoong ladies of the city and the young ladies visiting them. The bail given by Mr. ?ixou last year is still remembered with pleasure by all who attended it, for it wan in every respect'ooe of the most delightful and thoroughly enjoyed social affairs of the sea? son. The spacious dining room is aa ideal ball room, and every thing connected with the occasion was so well conceived and car? ried out that the evening was one of pleasure, with not au incident to mar the enjoyment of tbe guests. Why will yon buy bitter nauseating tonics when Grove's Tasteless Chill Tonic is as pleasant as Lemon Syrup. Yo cr druggist is authorized to refund the money in every case where it fails to cure. Price, 5? c^ats. If the Atlantic Coast Line will give re? duced rates to Charleston during the great naval review and blockade of the port, which will be held the first at,d second weeks of February, many^people in this section of the State will visit the city at that time. Few have ever seen any of the war ships of the United States government, ar.d all have a natural cariosity to see the great naval fight? ing machines on which such vast sums of public money have been expended. Tobacco planters throughout this section nre prep?ricg for the crop of '97. The infe? rior quality of tobacco produced last season and tbe low, prices realized has had a discour? aging effect on many planters, but they hope for better things this year and with the added experience of last year to guide them will very probably make a success with the crop this year. The bazaar for Monaghan Hose Co , No. 2, had the right of way last evening. Mr. Sisson announced from the stage Monday night that the curtain for the performance next evening would not riee until 9 o'clock io order that everybody, himself included, might have au opportunity of attending the bazaar and aid? ing the firemen The bazaar will be a suc? cess in every respect and the committee of arrangements have made every preparation that will conduce to the pleasure and comfort of all who attend the bazaar. To-morrow night the Oscar Sisson Repertoire Company will give five per cent of the gross receipts io Monaghan Hose Co. The people of Sumter should do much more in proportion, for they are the ones who reap the benefits of the fire department. --?-???.
