All members are requested to be pres? ent at that time. What has become of the proposed movement to number the houses in Sumter? Nothing has been heard of it in some time. The free delivery depends on this and it is hoped the numbering will begin before long. The Gibson train came in this morn? ing with two new coaches which gave the train a much better appearance than it has presented, heretofore. The Coast Line seems to be making im? provements on all sides. The turkey crop is reported to be very light about here, and consequent? ly turkeys for Thanksgiving will be higher in price. Eggs continue to be scarce and unusually high for this sea? son of the year. The ladies of the First Baptist Church are preparing tc hold a fair to commence on Dec. 16, and continue two or three nights. The place of holding the fair is not definitely decid? ed on yet. The ladies propose to hold an up-to-date fair on a large scale. Saturday was a rather unpleasant one and business was not very lively. The usual Saturday crowd was not so large on account of the weather. Trade has been reported to be increasing a little during the past few days. Messrs. Dennis and Smith, the alleged Timmonsville incendiaries, have been released from jail and are at their homes in Clarendon county. The I necessary bond was given by several gentlemen from Sumter and Claren? don counties. Health Officer Reardon has been given the contract to vaccinate the City of Florence. Besides the work of vaccinating the contract calls for a regular census to be taken of the citizens for some reason or other. It is not known whether Mr. Reardon will undertake the work or not. Several of the telephone lines out of town are down or out of order again today. The out of town service has ' been unsatisfactory for some time and : needs repairing. The poles used in j the country are not large and strong enough to stand the strain, it appears, and they are probably placed too far apart. The -local telephone company will soon have an up-to-date system in the city. They have received a large num? ber of extra heavy cables which will ; *be put in place shortly. Some of these cables will contain as many as 250 wires. The system will be greatly improved when the changes are com? pleted and the -service will be better, also. MARRIED. Mr. W. A. Clyde, of this city, and ! Mrs. G. T. Turner, of Oswego, were j married yesterday afternoon at 4.30 ! o'clock, at the home of the bride, the ; Rev. T. J. Clyde officiating. Scott-Ward!aw Wedding. Columbia, Nov. 27-The marriage of Miss Marie Luoise Ward law and Mr. Lemuel Scott at the First Baptist church last evening was the notable matrimonial event of the season. Long before the appointed hour for the ceremony-8.30 p.*m., the church was crowded" by an interesting throng of friends, and when the bridal party entered there were no seats vacant. The bride as lovely as a November violet, entered with her father, Capt. J. W. Wardlaw, after the other attend? ants, and was met at the pulpit by the groom with his best man, Dr. A. Earle Boozer. The ceremony was performed by the pastor, Rev. W*. C. Lindsay, D. D. Watson-Dibble Marriage. Orangebnrg, Nov. 20.-This after? noon promply at 6 o'clock the wed? ding of Whitfield William Watson and Miss Mary ^endiey Dibble took place in St. Paul's Methodist church in this city. The wedding was one of the pret? tiest that has occurred in Orangeburg in a long time. Miss Dibble is the beautiful daughter of former Congress? man Samuel Dibble and Mrs. Dibble, and the groom is the popular cashier of the First- National bank at Bates burg, formerly cashier of The State company, Columbia. Miss "Dibble was one of the most popular young ladies of Orangeburg and the people of the town were out en masse to see her wedding. They had decorated the handsome little church in a most attractive manner, smilax, crysanthemums and imitation ros'es playing an important .part in the - decorations. Over the altar was a handsome design wrought in crysanthe-. mums representing a true lovers' knot. Smilax festoons, a stand of ferns, another of palms and other floral designs completed the decorations of 'the altar. On the two side aisles were handsome floral arches. Through these the flower girls passed and they were followed by the members of the wedding party. DEATH. . Miss Leese DuBose, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. IL. Y.. DuBose, of Mechanics ville, died at her home Sunday morning at 6 o'clock. She was only 16 years of age and was a student at the" JSumter Military Academy and Female Seminary when taken sick only a week ago. The funeral services were held Monday morning, and were 2ittended by a large concourse of rela? tives, friends and fellow-students of the deceased. Mrs. Mary R. White, widow of the late Wm. N. White, died Thursday at the home of her son. Mr. J. K. White, a few miles from this city. She was quite old-about 86. The funeral .was held at ll o'clock Satur dav at the residence of Mr. J. K. White. Death of Mrs. Caroline C. Wells. Mrs. Caroline Colzy Wells, died at the residence of Mr. Bradley Wilson, Bethune, Kershaw County, on Wednes? day morning, 13th inst.," in her 65th year, and was laid to sleep in the picturesque cemetery at Mt. Zion Church, here, on Thursday afternoon ; the obsequies being attended by a large concourse of relatives, friends and acquaintances. * Mrs. Wells was the widow of Dr. Joseph D. Wells and a daughter of Col. Stephen LaCoste. She was the last survivor of a family comprising seven daughters and three sons. She was a woman of much intelligence and individuality of character. Left a widow many years since with four helpless childen, and at a time when our country was a mere wreck, she nevertheless so managed to steer her bark as to eventually, land herself and her three surviving sons on firm ground. These sons are Mr. Kirven E. Weils, a successful farmer of this place, and Messrs. Wm. Wells, of Atlanta, Ga,, and Woodward Wells, of Memphis, Tenn., both the latter high? ly respected and successful railroad men. One peculiarly pathetic circumstance connected with Mrs. Wells' death has been told the writer. Her home was with her eldest son, Kirven, of this place, and, though her health had been long feeble, she chose to visit among her numerous relatives while the house was being enlarged and remodelled. Among other improve? ments there had been a choice room neatly and comfortably fitted up and dedicated to the especial use of ''Mother." This room was ready for ber occupation when the wires flashed the tidings of her illness and brought the youngest son from Tennessee. Her life hung in the balance for days : but a powerful will that had often" before enabled her to thwart the "grim monster," again came to her aid and she rallied and announced her inten? tion to attempt the return home. Everything has been arranged for her comfort on the trip and she was in the act of making her toilet for the start when the inexorable and final summons, came and she was brought ''home," but only to that "Forted residence 'gainst the tooth of time and razure of oblivion." J. M. R. St. Charles, S. C., Nov. 19, 1901. The Time Extended. The contract between the State and the publishers of the adopted text books for the exchange of old books expired the 15th of November. The time has been extended for this ex? change, probably to the 31st of Decem- ; ber, by the publishers of the readers, histories, arithmetics and geographies. No extension has been made by pub- ; lishers of other text books up to this time. Those who have not availed themselves of the opportunity of ex? changing will please attend to it at ; once. The exercises at the Sumter Military Academy were suspended Monday on account of the death of Miss DuBose. A good number of the students attend? ed the funeral services at Meehan ice - ville. To the Farmers, Manufacturers and Others of Sumter County Who are interested in Making a Credita? ble Exhibit at the Charleston and W. I. Exposition. From information from the manage? ment at Charleston, it is reported that all exhibits should be in position for the opening on December 1st, and I request all persons interested to promptly have their exhibits delivered .without delay, as I wish to have them all ready for shipment by the 28th of the month. A. W. Suder, Nov. 20. Commissioner. Mr. McCutchen's Cotton Was Not Sold at Mannvilie. Daily Item, Nov. 21. Daily Item, Nov. 26th. In our columns a few days ago, we reported that Mr. T. J. McCutchen had five bales of cotton stolen from him at night, and that the cotton was found the next day at Mannvilie. We received the letter given be? low from Mr. Nat Barnett yesterday morning. It explains the matter fully and we publish it in justice to all par? ties concerned and for the informaion of the public. The following is Mr. Barnett's letter : Mr. Editor: You should state on what premises at Mannvilie the five bales of cotton stolen from Mr. T. J. McCutchen were found. For the in? formation of the public and in justice to Mr. R. J. Bell, who lives at Mann? vilie, I will state that Mr. Bell's cow lot is some distance from his dwelling. In this lot in a shed Mr. Bell found five bales of cotton. He did not know who put this cotton there. On hear? ing that Mr. T. J. McCutchen had lost five bales of cotton. Mr. Bell went at once and notified Mr. McCutchen, that such cotton was found in his cow shed. Mr. R. J. Bell has been living at Mannvilie for twelve years and is well known as an honest and upright citi? zen. Nat Barnett. A Thank Offering. On Thursday morning, Rev. F. M. Satterwhite desires to hold a Thanks? giving service in Bartlette Street Church, and 1 feel sure that he will be glad to have not only his congregation but as many of other congregations as will who may wish to attend. And I have been thinking that it would be a most appropriate time for us to re? member in a practical way those who are so absolutely dependent upon char? ity for a livelihood. I mean the or? phans. They are so helpless and so needy ; and while most of us feel that we have reached the extreme limit of our ability in assisting others, may it not be that we can put another dime or another dollar in the loan we are making to the Lord. Member. The trains come in on entirely different tracks now at the depot and one has to be on the look out for them. The tracks near the passenger depot have been abandoned for the use of through trains altogether. The Chiquola Club, of Darlington, will give an entertainment in the Opera House this evening. The en? tertainment consists of instrumental and vocal music and a lecture on South Carolina history by Col. Jno. J. Dar? gan, the manager of the club. The club has given entertainments in sev? eral of the towns of the Pee Dee sec? tion and has been very highly spoken of. The proposed plan of Col. Dargan is to awaken an interest in the history of our State. Popular prices will pre? vail. There will probably be a large crowd in town on Thanksgiving day. The delegates to the U. D. C. Convention will be here and no doubt a large con? tingent of S. C. College students will come down to cheer their team on to victory, as it will be holiday with them and the railroad schedules are very convenient. The "garnet and black" of Carolina will probably be much in evidence as well as the local team's colors. The operas will, also, bring some people to town, and alto? gether it should be a very pleasant day for all. The ball park is being cleared off and put iri readiness for the football game on Thursday. Tickets can be obtained from the students on the streets. The price of admission will be 25 cents. The game will be called promptly at ll o'clock and it is hoped that all who can will come out and witness the first game of foot-ball evpir played here and help the cadets along. "Around the Pan." The most profusely illustrated book of its kind ever published, is a lasting souvenir or those who did, and a splendid descrip? tion for those who did not visit the Pan American Exposition, the latter class will find it a most reliable substitute for the ?rip. It is as amusing to the young as it is intensely interesting to the adult, and should be readily accepted into every household for the education of young and old Agents outfit free upon receipt of fifteen (15c) cents in postage.
