Mrs. Mary Anna Davis, wife of Mr. A. I. Barron, and a daughter of the late James E. Davis, of Manning, died at her home in Manning at 11.45 last Friday morning after a brief illness. She was only 22 years old and leaves two little children. The Funeral of Mrs. Kennedy. At half past ten o'clock Oct. 22d, the funeral services of Mrs Paul J. Kennedy (nee Pauline Gaillard) were held at the residence of her father, Capt. P. P. Gaillard, on ' Warren street. The sympathy of this entire community found expression in the large number in attendance. It was not alone the universal esteem in which the family is held, in Sumter which gathered that concourse. There was something peculiarly pathetic in all the circum? stances which made every heart beat responsive to a common grief. Her illness was all so brief. For dajs in agony of suspense the precious life flickered alternately, now so brighten? ing as to kindle in the heart a gleam of hope, then deepening in despair and when 4 * "oh the pain, the bliss of dy? ing" was over it was hard to realize Pauline was dead. In all her suffering the self-sacrifice of Him who at the cross gave his life for others was con? stantly suggested. " She was so young, in all only 26 summers, life had ap? parently wrapped in it so much of joy. She was the pet of a singularly affectionate circle and the idol of her youthful husband. In disposition she was lovely and attractive. Her rigid regard for truth and sincerity left an impress on her character which gave to her a personality which could only be admired. On yonder Piedmont hillside there was a home which the loving hand of her devoted partner had arranged with the teaderest thought, for her to live in, but alas, when the nest is all fin? ished the lovely mate is taken. That Divine Hand which removed her had also fashioned for her a home in glory and with a love deeper than aught on earth bade her enter in. The impressive services of the Epis? copal Church she loved so well were read by the Rector, Rev. H. H. Cov? ington. She was laid to rest at the cemetery. Over that newly made grave a fragrant bloom and leaf from almost every garden in Sumter shed their in? cense. G.

Oct. 28-lt A GOOD HONEST CIRCUS. The great John Robinson's Shows will visit Sumter on Friday, November 8th, giving two performances and a great and unrivalled street parade. For more tban seventy years the John Robinson Shows have held the first place in the esteem of the circus-going people of the South and throughout that long period of time the Show has maintained a reputation of being up to-date and strictly high class in all its departments. The orignal John Robinson, grand? father of the present proprietor of the shows, is said to have been born in Charleston, and it is a matter of his? tory that he oragnized his first wagon show in thal; city in 1824 and from that small beginning the great Show of today has grown. Forty cars are required to transport the show and three advertising cars go ahead to let the people know that it is coming. Scores of world famous riders, both male and female, the highest salaried aerialists, gymnasts and acrobats, the funniest clowns, the largest and finest collection of wild beasts, the finest herd of performing elephants and hun? dreds of other features help to make the Show what it is. Ail the scer:ery, costumes and effects of this grand and imposing spectacle are new this season. John Robinson not only offers to his patrons the best series of circus performances, the finest and most elaborately equipped hippodrome, lae largest and most com? prehensive menagerie, but has added this year to his already superlative series of exhibitions the grand Bibli? cal spectacle of Solomon, his temple, and the Queen of Sheba, and the finest, scenic, processional, terpsicho? rean and lyric spectacle that has ever invited public patronage.
