Tbe work 00 Liberty Street bas been a
great improvement. Tbe middle of tbe street
bas been raised and the holes filled up. Th?
gutters have oeea taken up and relaid giviog
the sidewalk a much better appearance.
Some of our streets are so narrow tb&t it
causes inconvenience to people in passing
The sidewalk on Malo Street about two blocks
from tbe depot is particularly narrow. Il
some remedy eould be applied it would be a
wooderful improvement.

The ??Iee at the dispensary at ?he present

liquors from the dispensary ?nd increases the
sales considerably.

Mr Epoerson's loss is the most complete
that bas occurred is Sumter in many years.
Of 22 horses 10 were saved, of more f an a
hundred buggies aod carriages, 4 were
aved, of more than a hundred wagons. 4
were saved, and of a large stock of mowers,
rakes, harness and agricultural implements,
not a thing was saved.
The Craig Furniture Co , lost their entire
stock of caskets, eoShs and furniture of all
kinds, except what was in the brick store,
which waa used as a show aod sala room for
furniture and contained only one of aacb ar?
ticle carried in stock, the bulk of wbich was
stored io the three warehouses which were
humed
The Countv was the next heaviest looser,
'he old jail, upon wbicb it would have been
difficult to place a valcatioo, is a complete
loss Tbe new jail eosting more than $9.100
when erected a few years ago is badly wreck?
ed, everything burnable in it having been
burned ont, but the walls are apparently in?
tact and it may be repaired
The fire was a difficult one to handle, and
the biggest and best equipped fire department
io the country could not have saved Epper?
son's property and tbe negro booses adj*
cest, nor tbe wagon shed9 oo the opposite
side of Canal Street from Epperson's stable,
aod, under the circumstances, the firemen
did good work and should be commended
and thanked for what they did rather than
condemned for some of the things that the?
did not do, wbicb spectators thought could
and should bave been done
Story of a Slave.
To be bound hand and foot for years by the
chains of disease is tbe worst form of slavery
George D. Williams, of Manchester, Mich ,
tells how t-ucb a slave was made free. Hs
says: "My wife has been so helpless for five
years that shs could not turn over in bed alone.
After using two bettles of Electric Bitters, she
is wonderfully improved and able to do her
own work." Tb is supreme remedy for female
diseases quickly cures nervousness, sleepless?
ness, melancholy, headache, backache, fainting
and dizzy spells. This miracle working meih
ciue is a godsend to wenk, *k-kly, run down
people. Every bottle guaranteed. Only 50c.
