To the City Council of Sumter : Yojr finance committee herewith submit ibp'r Snai report for the term now ended We have examined tbe monthly report of the Clerk and Treasure: for March and find the same correct. We hare also examined and ! approved the annual report of the Cisrk and j Treasurer for tbe year wbicn ended March 31st ok. At the bee'mnir.g of onr term of cfSce WP found the city about ?2,500 in debt, exciu sive of bonds We were at the same time confronted by aa epidemic of smallpox, which ea'led for an expenditure of about .$3,000. Oar macadam work on Main street cost something core than $2,500. Our ex cell-ni fire department w6S without enmfort ab'i buildings. We have contracted for the erection of bou?es to cost $3.215, and have purchased at a cost of $603 a lot for the erection of one cf the bose company bouses, i The necessary and unavoidable expenses j have caused already an outlay of more than 36,000 IQ the way of extraordinarv expenses, which will be increased beyond $9,000 when the fire department buildings are completed Beside ail this we nave added two mules and two improved dump wagons to our scavenger force ; we have built our own stables and have purchased provender for one *ear. Have also bought a street roller. Tbe3e items represent an additional outlay of $1,103. We found it necessary to ada one more man to the police force. D?ring our term tbe taxable values were de ?creased by nearly $140,000, so that we found it absolutely necessary to increase our tax levy from 8? to 10 milla for city purposes, which increases toe revenue absut $1,800 per annum. Notwithstanding all that bas oeen accomplished and commenced we are pleased to state tbat at the end of our term we find ourselves indebted for money bor? rowed flome $8,000 only-witb an increase of assets not less than $2,000 to which should be added about $2,OOo cash on band and dispensary profits due the city, which will go towards expenses of the future. This we tbink, all tbiogs considered, a good show? ing. To rbis v.e might add that $1,145 worth of lerra cotta drain pipe bas oeen laid in oar city during the past two years, besides $42T wortb paid for by citizens and put down oy the city. Respectfally submitted, E W. Horst, A. G. Flowers, A. B. Stuckey. Mr. Fian reported that the tin roof ton the 'Opera House bad been completed, bat bad not bee a inspected. Messrs.

When his family wss awakened tbs bouse was CJ nearly burned tba! they briely and tiree io escape, one child, three years old, who was sleeping in back rooa being turned to death, as it could not be rescued- Tbcs:- rerfcns who reached the fire first, say that every ou il ding W.?S burning from the bottom end nil seemed to .hav?> c.ugbt a boot the same tim?. and that tber*1 was a stroan s rel! ci j kerosene; so they have little doubt of ir.eeo- | diarism.

Geddia is a bard work? ing man and has accumulated a good deal of property end be ba3 certainly met with a severe los9. Farmers nave pretty well finished rlaning corn ; some of it ?3 comiae up, and cottoo is being rapidly planted. Oats look well on clay land but were badly burt by the cold on the light lands. The mad dog scare sti.l continues and a great many curs have been killed; even tbe negroes seeming to reilize the daog?r from them. It bas become a very common thing for people who plant near tbe public roads, to plow into the road, making it very disagree? able driving ovet tbe Dlaces where tb^y turn their plows. All of the roads have been ruined by haviog the treps cut down, and if the infringing on tbe roads is kept np it will soon be impossible for two vehicles to pass each other, as it is already in places Many articles are written cn good roads, and "britten as if it is a very difficult problem to soive in having them, wbile, like many other things in wbicb nothing but talk is indulged in, it would be a Tery simple and comparatively inexpensive tbing if people once decided to act instead of talking and writing about it. Toere are very few roads in this county bot what could be put and kept io good condition if a good man was appointed overseer orer one, or as many townsnips as be could attend to, and be given the right to call out the road bands and work tbe roads wben necessary, w?ile tbe (baiogang worked tbe worse p!ace3.

Bat with no one particularly interested in having the work properly done it ?3 usually a perfect farce and a useless waste of time. W.J.R. Trip of The Veterans to Louis? ville. Tbe prospect is that a large attendance from South Carolina will be at Louievtlle Tbe idea of General C. I. Walker, Command? er of the Sooth Carolina Division of L* CV, in concentrating tte Veterans at Sparta&burg is a very good one. Tnis will give tne "old Vets" an opportunity to exchange greetings and will insure tbe same arrival time t>t Louisville of ali tbe delegates from this state The mountain route, through the "Land of the Sky", down the French Broad River, via Knoxville, Harriman Junction, Lexington and into Louisville, is very delightful dur? ing the Spring and summer mootbs, and is preferable to the long and dusty routes There are also two daily trains ia eacb direction via this route between Soutb Carolina points and Louisville, insuring oo crowded trains ; and tbe trip will oe entirely comfortable returning borne. This id quite an important item to those who attend.

I was talking to Moses a while ago and he says they wiii soon ge* calloused and then I'll be all hunkydory. He has read my Mis takes of Moses and laughingly admits that he made a good many when he was new to the business Ile is a jovial old cuss and I rather like him; he told me on the dead (everything is on the dead, here) that he didn't write the Pentateuch, but knows who did There are lots of people here, and strangers arriving daily But I would not advise you to ? ae till fall or winter, and even then don't bring anything but a iight summer suit You won't need an overcoat or um brella or skate??, but you might bring along a palm leaf fan or two For an imaginary, mythical figurative, allegoical and unorthodox hell this is about the hottest one I ever got into.

Jay Gould is runuing well on account of his money and Judas Iscariot and Ananias are quile popular I wish you could send me the paper, would like to know what ia being said about me Suppose they'll print a lot of my old letters and publish enough pictures of me to start a rogue's gallery, and every preacher will tell how it happened, and water-brained spiritualists will communicate with my spirit and all that 6ort of thing I wish the whole doddrotted pack were down here for a while-they wouldn't feel so all fired gay Well, I must close We need rain the worst kind, crops almost a failure, if you're ever down this way, drop in Yours truly, Bob Ingersoll.

Those Shown In the Newest Sprinsr Gown Model*. Plaited and gathered skirts ?ire made over entirely plain separate linings, hut those skirts which are simply gathered at the hack or plaited there are lined in tho usual manner, the lining being attached to the inside of the skirt. Silk is the most expensive and lightest lining, hut not the most serviceable for ordinary wear, as it soon cuts through and tears easily. There are many substi? tutes made of cotton which answer the purpose, but light weight moreen is prob PETNCESS GOW.V. ably the best and most durable of any lining for woolen gowns for general use. Of course silk or elaborate cloth cos? tumes require a silk lining1. Skirts cut in tho circular style are aban? doned. The circular flounce is still worn, but the newest gown models have the skirt cut in breadths, and the hack is laid In a single or double box plait or in stitched side plaits. In thin summer goods it is often gathered. The picture shows a princess gown of mastic cloth. At each side of the tablier are three plaits, and the hack is laid in two box plaits. The fronts of the bodice are triple, corresponding with the three plaits of the skirt. The revers of the middle vest are of pink silk; those of the other two brown velvet. The chemisette is of pink silk; the belt of brown velvet, closing with a chou. The sleeves have three revers at the wrist, corresponding to the revers ol* the front. A pink mous? seline cravat is worn. The hat of mastic straw is trimmed with brown velvet, a jeweled ornament mid white feathers. Tink flowers are placed under the brim. .It'Dic CHOI.i.KT.

JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA as a Blood Food and Nerve Energizer, is the greatest SPRING MEDICINE ever discovered. It comes as a rich blessing from1 heaven to the " worn out." the run ?own. the overworked and debilitated. That " tired feeling." those "sinkingspells," the languor and despondency which arise from badly nour? ished nerves, from thin, vitiated blood and an underfed body, vanish as if by a magic spell. The weariness, lassitude and nervous prostration which accompan r the spring, time and the heat of summer, are conquered and banished at once. For every form of; neurasthenia, and all ailments of the brain and nerve, insomnia, hysteria and nervousness! generali/, it is almost a specific. It furnishes the very elements to rebuild worn-out nerve, tissues. It feeds brain, nerve centers and nerves, calming and equalizing their action; it makes rich, red, honest blood. Newness of life, new hope, new strength follow its faith? ful use. It makes the weak strong, and the old young again. It was the antiquated (but now happily exploded) method in the good old times, to treat Sait Rheum, Scrofula, Cancer and other troublesome disorders arising from BLOOD TAINT with powerful alteratives, such as mercury, arsenic and other mineral agents. It was expected by this treatment that the poison could be killed while the blood was left to course through its channels holding in its circulation the specific germs of the disease. But in this way. every part of the body became more or less diseased. Noth? ing can be more terrible than a horribly destructive blood taint. It not only attacks viru? lently the different structures of the body, but many times the bones are honey-combed and destroyed. It often seeks cut the nerves and spinal cord, and again ii will bring de? cay and death to some vitai organ, as the kidneys, liver or stomach. There is only one scientific method fer the cure of blood taint. That is, PURIFICATION ! Every particle of the blood must be removed through thc execretory channels, the lungs, kidneys, bowels, liver and skin. " First pure, then peaceable." The great restorative, reconstructive and vitalizer of the blood, JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA, not only radically and ex? haustively removes the taint, but also removes all mercury, calomel and other minerals, and fills the veins and arteries with the ruby, glowing current of vitality. "The blood is the life." Good health means pure blood. The old and reliable remedy. JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA, is universally regarded as the greatest Blood Purifier ever discov? ered. This fact is now established beyond question or cavil. BLOOD PC?SOX CCJEED BX JOHNSTON'S SAZSAPAKIZXA. _ Byron. Mich.. October 31. !894. V":?!:ams. Davis. Srccks & Co..
