Tbe dec? orations ware generally admired, for there was absent all ornata display, and a simple taste, showing that those who performed this labor in honor of tba nuptials of their friends, were gnided by aa artistic appr?cia tic-a of tbe beantifol, sod a knowledge of tbe fact that by espying nata? faithfully tbe mott pleas? ing effects are obtained.

Tb? ?on myittriout robbery that bas ever occarred io tbit city is now tb? leading topic of conversation io boiinets circlet and everybody it pu EB! ed tad o ont more to than tboaa who are mott deeply interested It bids fair to be more than a nine days wonder for tbere eeemt to be no explaatatioo of tbe riddle. Bow the robbery wat accomplished, wheo and by whom, rtoteiat bidden in a mystery to ?ark that the man wha ena ex? plain it ?ed furnish the clae that will point ont tba robber will ba, well entitled to take rank as a wita and attnte detective. Tbe faett at ascertained art at follows: Ot Saturday night. Mr. S P. Laramee]iere, the bookkeeper and cashier of the Ducker A Boltman Co counted tbe caeh in the till and at tbe eloee of buainesi placed it in the cash sault ic tba tafe. Tbit ?ault to which he alone bat a ka? wat then c'osed and the com? bination pat on. The com bi ott ion of tbe tafe it known to ~but two men-Mr E W. A. Bellman, presided of tbe company and Mr. W. B. Dick, the Manager. On Monday morning the safe wat still locked and after the combination was taken off and the outer doora were opened, Mr. Larous*eliere un? locked the cash m nit - tbe money which be left tbere Saturday night wat gone An in? vestigation was immediately instituted, but nothing could be discovered nor has anything been ascertained since, although everything posiible has been done to unravel tbe mys? tery. None of the store doors or windows bad been tampered with, and as has been stated above, the outer doors of tbe safe were locked xnd the combination on just as it WAS left on Saturday night The cask vault bore no sig os of having been forced or tempered with. The discovery that tbe money bad been abstracted was a complete and astound? ing surprise to all members of tbe firm, as tbere were no indications that a robbery bad been committed. Th? amount stolen wes $413, $373 tn cash and $49 io checks which bad been taken in in the course of business during the day. Tbe roeraters of the firm attempted to keep the robtery/rom being made public, but it leaked out during the day, as the banks were famished with a list of tbe checks, and re? quested to suspend payment o? them until they could bs examined by Mr. Boltman. During tbe day one or two checks drawn by the mea who bad also given checks to the Docker A Bultman Co were turned down at the banka until Wr. Boltman contd be aeot for tn examine tbem None of the stolen checks were found, however, and the matter iihetW as moch of a puzzle and mystery ae at fitst. Tbere it only one thing certain-that tbe money is gone and no one knows bow it was abstracted from the safe, unless an expert safe opener with a full supply of tkeletoo keys paid tbe atore a visit between Saturday night and Monday morning and did the joo with a skill and neatness won by of a master of the profession Tbere are three little things which do more work theo any other tbree little things, cre? ated- they are the aot, the bee and De Witt's Little E*rly Risers, 'be last being the fa? mous little pille for stomach and liver trou? bles.

It ia common talk on the streets that a big gambliog layout is running in foll-blaat every night, and lt teemt ttrange that no arrests have beeo made by tbe police. Every once in a while tome negro dive is raided and a gene; of crap shooters are ron in, but a big layout which is patronised by white people goes unmolested. This ia not a moral ?ettore, but an item of news for tbe informa? tion of thote who libe to bock tbe tiger, but may not have been informed that the tiger is on band and ready to be bocked. It it not to be imagined for a moment that any effort will be made to break op tbe game, or that should an effort be made that it will amount to anything, tor it goes without say? ing tbat evidence to convict could not ne obuiaed Gambliog, like whiskey drinking, will go on at long at the taste of mankind runs in that direction, and all the law that may be enacted will not prevent it, except in some ideal community where a strong public sentiment against gambling prevails and the laws on the statuse booka are enforced Sumter it no worse than other placee, and tbose wbo are food of a little game will have it whenever they feel like it, aod tbere is no stopping them.
