The crowd in town on Saturday was the largest seen here in many a day. About noon, it was almost impossible to walk along the sidewalks on Main Street. The day was a good one for our merchants, some of them saying that trade was as good as on Crhistmas eve. The crowd was a very orderly one, and no unpleasant incidents occur? red. Of course there were a few ar? rests made as usual on such days. The furniture and fixtures for the new savings bank will soon arrive and be in position. Mr. Ricker said this morning the bills of lading had been received and he hoped to have the bank fitted up very shortly. In the meantime, the bank is carrying on its regular business which is very good for the short time the bank has been established. The show windows on Main street are quite tastily decorated this week with the various wares the merchants have for sale It is said that goods well displayed are half sold, and if such be the case, cur merchants should have no trouble in disposing of some of their goods. The dressing of show windows is an art, and when well done adds much to the attractive? ness of a business street. The member of the county board of control from whom information was obtained in reference to the application for a tourist hotel privilege by one of the hotels, inadvertently made a mis? take in the facts. The Hotel Sumter did not make an application, while the Nixon House did. The mistake was due merely to a slip of the tongue. It is said today that a petition will be presented to the next meeting of the board asking that the action at the meeting on Monday be reconsidered and that the state board be requested to grant the desired permit. There is no probability of the petition being granted, however, as the board is said to be opposed tq granting privileges to hotels to run a dispensary. aM_ DEATHS.

It is said 44 an honest man is the noblest work of God." Mr. Frost was noted for his sterling honesty and high Christian character. He was a member of Boykin's Company, Nel? son's Battery, during the war, and was a brave and gallant soldier. Sev? eral old Confederates attended the fun? eral and dropped their tears of sym? pathy, and from their full hearts went np the silent prayer: Oh God when we fall into line in the unknown world above, to be inspected by the great Captain, grant unto me the same pass word that is given Charles E. Frost. H. E. T. Wedgefield, Oct. 14, 1901. The Augusta .train was forty min? utes late again Monday afternoon.

Work on the new jail is progressing well and before many more days it should be ready for occupancy. It cannot be completed any too quick, for the county prisoners in the city jail are altogther too crowded, for health and comfort. The arrival of both the Charleston j and Augusta trains, at the same time gives quite a busy and hustling appear? ance to things around the A. C. L. depot in the afternoons. Sumter is certainly becoming a railroad centre of some note. The passenger traffic is as large as ever.
