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.
Miss Sallie Brown, daughter of Mrs.
Manning Brown, died quite suddenly
Monday about 1.30 o'clock at her

terday.

Salem section. She was about seventy
years of age. The funeral services
were held at the Brick Church near
Mayes vi He Thursday.
Mr. Charles E. Frost, died near
Sumter on October 10th, aged TO years.
He leaves a large family to mourn
him. He was buried at Wedgefield,
near which village he lived for many
years, and was for years an official
member of the M. E. Church at that
place. 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.

more animated appearance than for
some days past.

jail are altogther too crowded, for
health and comfort.

j and Augusta trains, at the same time
gives quite a busy and hustling appear?
ance to things around the A. C. L.
