I hundreds of physicians depend upon the use
of Kodol Dyspepsia Core in stomach troubles.
It digests what you eat, and allows you to

We regret to part with him, and the sub?
scribers on the route be has carried so long
will doubtless miss his familiar face. He bas
been with the paper longer than any carrier
boy we have ever empioyed and bis services
have always been satisfactory. He has been
faithful, prompt and reliable in every respect
and if it be true tbat tbe boy is father of the
man, Hager Lynam will grow up to bea
mau of worth aod character. He ba3 collect?
ed several thousand dollars daring the time
be wes in the employ of this paper and bis
balance sheet was always clear and correct.
As we have said, we part with him with
regret, for it is difficult to replace a noy m

In the interest of many who are concerned,
but especially in the interest of the clerks,
who cannot well attend the services of the

beseech ali the Sumter merchants to close

If all agree to this, no one of them can be a
loser. If one refuses, all must do likewise.
We are glad that so large a proportion of
the merchants are now ebidtcg by the rule
for 10 o'clock closing ; and we are confident
that we are seeking the public good when
we ?sk all to adhere to the same rule.

! citizens for discharging kucr.?-r: slops, c >'h

j drains through pipes concocted with '.leif
i premise-) This matter heing orougbt up by
reason of charges made ai last council rocc-t
ing again;;! Dr. C C Brown
. Dr. Baker stated thai Dr. Brown was mis?
taken in h'.s declaration teat ther? was ?nv
rule or ordinance which forbids him to empty
slops upon his premises ; that any person
might do this witb impunity, so that there
was no cesspool or nuisance created that
would bc likely to produce sickness.
The question was discussed at length, and
a letter was read from Dr. J. C. Spann, bear?
ing upon the surjact.
The gecerftl opinion wes that all pipe con?
nections with drains are possible sources o
danger and should not be allowed.
A resolution offered by Messrs Bovie and
Chandler was adopted as follows : Resolved,
that all connections of water and sewer pipes,
witb city drains shall be discontinued, and if
shall be the duty cf the Health Cfficer to see
that this resolution is strictly eoforced.
Then followed a debate on th8 surj?ct cf a
swerage system, and on notion of Air. Fion
the Mayor was requested to call a meeting of
citizens in the Opera House at 8 o'clock Tues?
day evening of next week to determine
whether or not a petition shall be made to
Couucil calling for an election upon the
question cf isfuiog bonds to build such sys?
tem
Attention was called to an announcement
printed on a programme which was circulat?
ed at the Opera House on the 15tb inst, to
the effect that with the production of the
Prisoner cf Z;nda on the 25tb inst, the sea?
son would close. TheCletkwas directed to
publish a denial of that statement
Council then adjourned.
