There are eight old line it fe companies, about fifty fire insurance companies, six assessment orders, and two or. taree accident companies There are nine? teen agencies, fifteen life and four fire, it would seem from this that the insurance field here is pretty welt covered. Recant experiments show that all classes of foods may be completely digested bj a prepa? ration called Kodol Dyspepsia Care, which absolutely digests what yon eat. As it is the only combination of all the natural digestants ere? devised the demand for it bas become enormous. It has never fai?ed to cure the very wont cases of iadigsstion and it always givas instant relief.-J S fiughson k Co 'The city is giving everybody another chance to be vaccinated free of charge The health officer is making bis roands and vac? cinating a large namber daily, fie is quite aa expert in this business as be was small? pox expert for the State Board of Health for some time, vaccinating aoout 12,000 people. The school children are being inoculated every day, and soon they will all be vaccina? ted. For the weakness and prostration following grippe there is nothing so prompt and effect? ive as One Minute Cough Core. This prepa? ration is highly etdorsed as an unfailing remedy for ail ?broat and lung troubles and its early use prevents consomption. It was made to cure quickly.-J S.Hoghson &*Co. A trick bicyclist and wheel performer held an exhibition oo Main street yesterday He attracted quite a large crowd and executed many gooo tricks, which weie enjoyed by bi& spectators. He went around aod took up sev? eral collections There are a good many euch riders but be is one of the best. Reports show a greatly increased death rate from tbroat and lung troubles, due to the prevalence of croup, pneumonia and grippe. We advise the use of One Minute Cough Cure io all these difS20kies. It is the only harm? less remedy that gives immediate results. ! Children l?ke it -J S Hagbson & Co. Tb^re was an alarm of fire yesterday at 12 o'clock. A baroon the premises of Mr. W j C Hough on Chorch Street was found to be in flames. From the amoont of smoke, it j looked as if some largs residence was on fire. The building waa completely destroyed. Toe water pressure was exceedingly poor, three streams only about an inch ia diameter betne ibrowu, and they could hardly reach the Simes. If the fire bad been a laree one, much damage would undoubtedly have been dore. A powerful engine cnooot be run with t weak boiler, and we can't keep up the strain of an active life with a weak stomach ; neith? er cac we stop tbe human macbioe to make repairs. If the stomach cannot digest enough food to keep the body strong, socb a prepa? raron as Kodol Dispepsia Cure should be osrrd. It digrs'8 what you eat ?nd it simply can't help but do you good.-J S Hugbsoo k Co.

Tbe Black Biver Boad. This road is now completed and open for travel. Mr. Boyle, of the committee of citi? zens, who collected the city'a part of tbe money, is collecting tbs balance doe. to pay for tbe approaches to the road. He says it i one of the finest pieces of road-building be hes ever seen. The causeway is one and one sixteenth miles long, fourteen feet wide on top and twentiy feet at the bottom. Torre are about 700 feet of bridges. The whole length of new road is about tbree miles. Persons who cannot take ordinary pills find it a pleasure to take DeWitt's Little Early Risers.

Ooe afternoon last week, when it wis bitterly cold, tbe waiting room was packed and several ladles were standing. A crowd of men were out on the platform lo tba cold because tbsy conld not welleome fo?fde. Sncb a state of affairs io a city like Sumter should te deplored. The waiting room here is no larger than those of small towns aod villages where tbe paseenger travel ts notbiog compared totbatst this point. Sumter ts a functional point, also, and by all means should have first-class accommoda? tions for the large erowds waiting between trains. We hope we shall soon s?e a new depot.

The snow continued to fall witboot cessation until afternoon and then waj 6 to 7 inches OD a dead levei and ranch more wbere it had drifted against walle and fences As the ground wa3 unusually dry and tbe tem? perature had grown steadily colder through out the morning little, if any, of the snow that bad fallea melted. This ia the first and only snow of the winier and it cane as a total surprise to everybody At midnight there was no indication of snow and these who were up until a lats boor saw nothing to lead them to expect eleigb riding weather before breakfast. Like bad dollar, all counterfeits of De Witt's Witch Hazel Saive are worthless. The original quickly cures piles, sores and all skin diseases.-J S Bugbson ? Co. Mr. M. B Randie bad a new cbainless wheel 8toleo from bim ten days or two woeks aeo He advertised it offering a reward of $10 for the recovery cf ibe wb?el and $15 for the arrest of the thief.

Toe reward of $10 WrS paid by Mr. Randie and he hegan an inveet:gation to ascertain wbere Belber obtained the wheel.
