MARRIAGE THURSDAY NIGHT.
Mr. John Fishburne and Miss Jennie
Gibson United in Marriage.
At the Episcopal Church, Thursday
nig;ht, Miss Jennie Gibson and Mr.
John Fishburne were united in mar?
riage by Rev. H. H. Covington. The
church was beautifully decorated and
the wedding was a very pretty one in
every respect. The following couples
attended :
Miss Mary Gibson, maid of honor,
with Mr. William Frierson, best man.
Mr. Raiford Eaves with Miss Ethel
Carson.
Maj. Loring Lee with Miss Daisy
Yeadon.
Mr. Gilland Fishburne with Miss
Kate Sumter.
Mr. David Yeadon with Miss Annie
Cunningham.
The bridesmaids were dressed in
white organdie.
Messsrs. Ollie Yates and Edward
, McCailum acted as ushers.
The bride is a daughter of Mr. B.
G. Gibson. The newly wed couple are
popular young people of this city,
where they will make their future
home.
MARRIED.
On Sunday, November 10, 1901, at
the residence of the bride's parents by
Rev. J. C. Bailey, Jr., Mr. James j".
Whilden. of Wedgefield, S. C., and
Miss Mary White Nettles, daughter of
Hon. W. A. Nettles, of Privateer,
S. Cf
Mr. Willie Bultman, of this city,
and Miss Gertie Linehan, of Charles?
ton, were married in Charleston,
Sunday morning, at 6 o'clock, at the
residence of the bride's sister, Mrs.
Caughrin, the Rev. Father Duffy,
officiating. The only attendants were
Mr. Willie Burgess, of Sumter, and
Miss Sarah Beaseley, of Charleston.
A reception was held on Saturday
evening and a wedding breakfast was
given after the ceremony, after which
the bride and groom left for Wilming?
ton. They returned to this city on
Tuesday, night.
A Physician Testifies.
"I have taken Eodol Dyspepsia Cure :
and have never used anything in my life
that did me the good that did," says County
Physician Geo W Scroggs of Hall County,
Ga. "Being a physician I have prescribed
it an? found-it to give the best results." If
the food you eat remains undigested in
your stomach it decays there and poisons
the system. You can prevent this by diet?
ing, but that means starvation. Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure digests what you eat. You
need suffer from neither dyspepsia nor
starvation. The worse cases quickly cured.
Never fails. J S Hughson <fc Co.
There were no complaints this time
about paying: sixty cents for tickets to
the circus, as there generally is. There
was no one selling them on the
grounds at that price as there are
with all circuses, as a rule. The pub?
lic are certainly glad that this
nuisance was not allowed at the John
Robinson's Shows.
The next attraction at the Opera
House will be "Down In Dixie" on
Thursday night, the 14th inst. This
play will be presented by the students
of the Sumter Military Academy.
The production promises to be a good
one and there should be a full house.
Miss Starlin?:, of the department of
elocution, will recite. Tickets on sale
now.
Levy & Moses' store was visited by
crowds of ladies yesterday who were
very much interested in Miss Thomp?
son's demonstration of the preparation
of various dainty dishes. Miss Thomp?
son will remain in the city until Fri?
day evening and will erive daily demon?
strations at Levy & Moses' store.
So many negro lieners have disposed
of their crops without-consulting: their
creditors that the Sheriff's office is
overrun with warrants for the arrest of
Tom, Dick and Harry for selling prop
?rty under lien. Only a small part of
the warrants can be executed, how?
ever, for the lieners have not only sold
their crops but have" left the county.
An exhibit for the Charleston Ex?
position was brought in Monday,
which is quite an interesting; ene.
It consists of a jar of Engrlish walnuts,
grown by Mr. Fleet McElveen, of the
Shiloh section. The walnuts are large
and well formed and are exactly like
the ones which are imported. Few
persons knew that these nuts could be
grown here successfully and this ex?
hibit will prove of interest to many.
While the exhibits for the Exposi?
tion are coming in slowly here, they
are being: gathered in the country by
Messrs. Marshall and McNeill and are
being collected at certain points from
which, they will be brouerht to the
depot here. The bulk of the exhibits
wfll probably arrive during this week.
Mr. Suder says the prospects are very
bright for a larg:e and representative
exhibit from this county. It is cer?
tainly hoped the Game Cock county
will have a creditable exhibit at the
Exposition.
Last Friday was a record-breaker for
good order, considering the crowd in
the city and the presence of the circus.
Not an arrest was made for drunken?
ness, disorderly conduct, or any other
offense. This speaks well for the
crowd in town and for our city, also.
So the city treasury will not profit
by the circus being; here, otherwise
than by the receipts of the? usual
licenses.
With the assistance of Mr. Bradford,
Chief of Police, Supt. Edmunds was
enable to induce the circus parade to
pass by Graded School building;. The
result was that the schoolchildren had
an excellent view of the procession, a
much better one than they would have
had if they had been in the crowd on
Main street. By opening school & half
hour earlier and therefore closing
earlier the children who wished to do
so had an opportunity of going to the
ci rcus.
Tao Children's Friend.
You'll have a cold this winter. May be
you have one now. Your children will
suffer too. For coughs, croup, bronchitis,
?jrip and other winter complaints One
Minute Con^h Cure never fails. Acts
promptly. It is very pleasant lo the taste
and perfectly harmless. C K George.
Winchester. Ky. writes. "Our little girl was
attacked with croup late one ni^ht and
was so hoarse she could hardly speak. We
gave her a few doses of One Minute Congh
Cure. It relieved her immediately and
she went to sleep. When she awoke next
morning she had no signs of hoarseness or
croup." J S Hughson & Co.
CHARGED WITH INCENDIARISM.
M. J. Morris, J. E. Truitt and Ed. Trim
nal are in Custody.
As a result of investigation, M. J.
Morris, J. E. Truitt, and Ed. Trim
nal are in jail charged with the burn?
ing of several buildings in Mayesville
on the morning of Nov. 3. The'arrests
of Morris and Truitt were made on
Saturday. Magistrate Rhame, of
Magnolia, served the warrants, Magis?
trate Bradley being absent from
Mayesville, and Chief of Police
Gallasher made the arrests and
brought the prisoners to jail here.
Ed Trimnal came to Sumter of his
own accord and gave himself up.
Morris had just been released from
custody a few days before, having
gotten bail. He has made a satisfac?
tory settlement with McNair & Co., it
is understood, paying them tbe
amount he was charged with em?
bezzling.
It is said that there is a very strong
case . of circumstantial evidence
against the prisoners, and if they are
convicted, it will probably go hard
with them. There was a family living
in the building next to Morris' store
and whoever set ?he fired to Morris'
place knew well that the next building
would burn. This makes the crime
quite a serious one.
Another. Residence Burned.
The house of Mr. Aleck Reames on
the Mayesville road was burned on
Thursday night about ll :30 o'clock.
The house and contents were a com?
plete loss, nothing being saved, not
even the wearing apparel of the fam?
ily. Mr. Reames had about $500 insur?
ance on the property, which will noth?
ing like cover the loss.
The work on the new passenger
depot is* being pushed as much as
possible, and it will not be long before
the handsome building will be Teady
for use. The walls are nearly com?
pleted and work on the roof has com?
menced. It will certainly be a
great change for the better when it is
completed, both as to convenience and
location, and the old depot abandoned.
" Another great ;<get rich quick"
scheme has fallen through, so we learn.
Everyone in these parts is familiar
with the scheme of a certain newspaper
in Florida which has been going the
rounds of this city and county for
several months. The manager of the
scheme offered a bicycle or watch to
any lady sending in twenty-five sub?
scribers to the paper at $1 each. Be?
sides the premium each lady was to
receive writing to do at home which
would pay her a. salary of 820 per
month. Of course, this writing was
nothing but inducing others to take
hold of the scheme. A good number
of ladies around here sent S25 for the
subscriptions in order to receive the
premium and the work. Some secured
subscriptions from friends, but many
paid the whole amount themselves. It
seems that the States of Florida, Geor
iga and South Carolina have been
pretty thoroughly worked. Now the ?
whole business has gone up in smoke I
and many people are wondering where ?
they are at. The originator of the !
scheme must be pretty well fixed by j
now. Of course, some of the ladies j
received watches or bicycles. The in- !
vestigation of the business will prove |
of interest.

ATTEMPTED HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
While on his way to this
city on last Saturday morn?
ing Mr. J. L. Gillis was stopped
at Turkey Ford by a negro mau, who
jumped from a place of concealment in
the bushes by the road-side, and with
a drawn pistol demanded money. Mr.
Gillis drew his revolver and fired at
the negro several times, but his mule
took fright at the first shot and dash?
ed off, and he does not think he suc?
ceeded in hitting the negro. The man
had a cloth tied around his head and
lower part of face and Mr. Gillis
. could not recognize him or give a
satisfactory description of his appear?
ance.
