DEATHS. i j Miss Sophia Reynolds died quite j suddenly Thursday afternoon, of heart ? failure, "at the home of Mr. Mark Rey I nolds, her cousin, with whom she had 1 made her home for several years. Miss Reynolds was a native of Columbia, and was the daughter of the late Dr. "William Reynolds of that city. She and a sister conducted a school for young ladies in Columbia for many years, which had a wide reputation for high scholarship and thorough? ness and was largely patronized by the best people of the State. Miss Rey? nolds was a highly educated and ac? complished woman who gve her life to the cause of education, and was held in the greatest esteem by all who knew her. Funeral services were held at Mr. Reynolds' residence Friday morning and the body was taken to Columbia for interment. The infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Jos, H. Darr died Friday morning, aged a little over two months. The funeral were held from their residence on Cal? houn Street, at 10 o'clock Saturday morning. Mr. Harry Rettenberg died sudden? ly Saturday morning about seven o'clock while in the office of the store of J. Rytten berg & Sons. As was his custom, he came down early to open the store and was in the office engaged in his usual morning duties when he was stricken down without the slightest previous indication of illness. He died almost immediately after falling at his desk. Dr. Mood, who was called in, de? cided that death resulted from heart failure. Up to the moment of his death Mr. Ryttenberg was apparently in his usual health and there had never been any reason to suppose that his heart was affected. Mr. Ryttenberg was the oldest of the Ryttenberg brothers, composing the firm of J. Ryttenberg & Sons, and had been a resident of Sumter for nearly thirty years. He was born in Poland, Nov. 27th, 1S43, and came to the United States with his parents when a child. He leaves a large family consisting of a wife, six sons and three daughters to lament the loss of a kind and devoted husband and father. He was a citizen that Sumter can ill afford to lose, public spirited, pro? gressive and always foremost in work? ing foi* the development and improve? ment of the city and county with which he had so long been identified. He served several terms as a member of the City Council and as a member of the County Board of Commislsion ers. He was recently elected chirman of the County Board of Equaliztion, of which he had long been the mem? ber from Sumter township. He was a zealous member of a number of se? cret orders, and had served as treas? urer of Claremont Lodge, A. F. M., for many years. He was also promi? nent in the Knights of Honor and had served as an official of the Grand Lodge of this State. As a man and a citizen he was es? teemed and respected by the communi? ty, as a friend and brother he was most beloved by those who knew him best and were most intimately associat? ed with him from the time he came to Sumter until his sudden and unex? pected death this morniong, which was a great shock to the community and has caused sincere sorrow in all circles. The funeral services will be held on Monday, by which time members of the family now absent will arrive. The funeral of the late Harry Ryten berg was held from his residence on Liberty Street, at 10 o'clock Monday morning. At the house where the ser? vices were conducted by the Rev. Dr. Schneeberger, of Baltimore, there was gathered a large assemblage of Mr. Ryttenberg's friends from the city and all parts of the county. The funeral services of the Jewish Church were im pressivly read by Dr. Schneeberger, and a brief tribute was paid to the life and character of the deceased. The interment was made in the Jewish Cemetery, the burial service being read in Hebrew by Dr. Schnee? berger. Claremont Lodge No. 64 A. F. M. with which Mr. Ryttenberg had been affiliated fcom the time he came to Sumter and of which he had been treasurer for many years, attended the funeral in a body and buried him with Masonic honors. As a mark of respect, all of the stores in the city were closed from 10 to ll o'clock, while the funeral was in progress. - ?- ? - - HARRY RYTTENBERG. "Know ye not that there is a prince and great man fallen this dav in Isra? el?" I have known Harry Ryttenberg for almost a third of a century and to know him was to love him. We were intimately associated in many ways, but more especially in our lodge work: he as treasurer and I as secre? tary, and in all our business dealings he was the soul of honor and honesty. Tn the various relations of life he nore himself as a man, upright before God, and his fellow man. and the business interests of Sumter suffer a heavy loss in his sad taking off. He was singularly pure and chaste in his conversation, and I cannot recall ever hearing an improper expression fall from his lips. His conscientious faithfulness to duty was manifested in his daily life: his employes loved and honored him. while his associates gave him implicit trust and confidence. To his friends he was always the same, kindly, helpful, sympathetic. To many hearts the news of his death will bring sorrow: and the recollection of past kindnesses, almost forgotten, but now recalled by this sore bereave? ment, will testify to the kindly helpful- j hess of his useful life. Those of us who knew bim well were j proud to call him friend i.. ... ?. ano i we sorrow tor him in death. W. F. Rhame. Another Alligator in the City. JUST EXACTLY 69 MEN'?

Church, South, held yesterday it was decided to hold no night service on Sundays during the remainder of the summer. The hour of evening service will here? after be at 6.30 p. m. By this change of hour the congregation can worship in the cooler part of the afternoon and return home before dark. Rev. James McDowell, who filled the pulpit of the Presbyterian Church Sunday morning in the absence of Dr. Edmunds, preached a very able, interesting and impressive sermon. The sermon made a deep impression and many cf the congregation pro? nounced it one of the best they had ever heard from any preacher. The meeting in the Baptist Church will be continued this week and Rev. Mr. Barron will preach an especially interesting series of sermohs. The meetings are growing in interest and the attendance increases each night. July Ladies7 Home Journal. An unusual number of exception? ally interesting articles appear in The Ladies" Home Journal for July. Among them are Ernest Seton-Thomp son's new story, "The Mother Teal and the Overland Route," : J. S. Met calfe's account of "Goin' Fishin' with Joe Jefferson" : Florence Morse Kings? ley's sketch of canary life, "In a Yel? low Petticoat and a Green Gown" : William Davenport Hulbert's nature study, "The Story of a Maple Tree" : and the description of "A Girl's Life in France" by the French author, Th. Bentzon (Madame Blanc). A fea? ture of special interest is "The Country of Sheridan's Ride," a handsome dou? ble-page of pictures showing the en? tire route as it is today, accompanied by an account of the ride and the bat? tle, with extracts from the poem. Sheridan's Ride." Other pictorial features include W. L. Taylor's full page drawing of "A Busy Boston Street at High Noon," a page of re? markably artistic photographs by Frances and Mary Allen, and a series of interesting views showing how four ni the places ''Where Our Country Folk Began" look today. In a humor? ously ironical and satiric article, "The Case Against the Editor." Ed? ward Bok exposes the absurdity of the idea That magazine editors do not read the manuscripts of unknown au? thors. In fiction the serial story nf "Aileen." by Elizabeth Knight Tomp? kins, is continued, and there is a short story by Virginia Woodward j Cloud. Arthur Nevin contributes ;i ? charming song, "The Water Lily." with words by William Ordway Part- [ Prof. Lane's Lecture. If the large audience which gather? ed in the Opera House last Tuesday night to hear Prof. Lane went there to be made to laugh and forget their trou? bles they were certainly satisfied. Al? though advertised to lecture on "The Analsysis of Laughter," Prof. Lane selected to change his theme and chose as his subject "Talks and Talk? ers." For one hour anda half the audience was kept in a state of sus? tained interest from start to finish. The lecture was a concrete exhibition of philosophy, truth and the keenest of humor highly pleasing to all who heard it. Prof. Lane will always be heard with pleasure whenever he comes to Sumter again. DROPPED DEAD. Coroner Flowers was summoned on Sunday to hold an inquest over the body of an old colored woman. Peggie Singleton, who had dropped dead while crossing the plantation of Mr. E. T. "Windham about three miles from this city. When he arrived on the scene he ascertained that the woman was subject to heart trouble and as she was with her granddaughter when she died, he did not deem it necessary to hold an inquest.
