Providence Springs. The Sumter correspondence of The Columbia State says : Every year Providence Springs be? comes a more popular summer resort. The Northwestern railroad runs its trains so that the business men may make their homes out there in the summer, coming to town about 9 o'clock in the morning and returning to the springs about 7 in the after? noon.

The new pavilion will be a great at? traction at the springs this summer, as there are a great many young peo? ple who live in that neighborhood, besides the regular, summer folks who live in cottages. The formal opening of the pavilion will take place some time the last part of this month, and it is expected that a great crowd will be on hand. The ground floor is com? posed of several large rooms to be used by picnic crowds, one being fixed as a regular dining room. The second floor is a ball room, enclosed by lattice work and has floor space 60 feet by 40 feet. The nights are delightfully cool at the springs, as there is always a breeze blowing in the vicinity ofjthe high hills of the Santee. BARN AND FOUR MULES BURNED. The barn and stables of Mr. H. H. Evans, of Spring Hill were burned it I o'clock a. m. Thursday. Four unies, a lot of farming implements md a large supply of hay and fodder ?vere burned in the building.

In the early hours on last Saturday morning the police caught two of the 'trnstys" from the chain gang who were dressed up in citizen's clothes and paying a visit to some friends on Church street. They were put in the lock up until later , in the day when they were returned to the "gang." When they were taken out of the lock up it was found that they had changed their dress and had their convict stripes on top of the plain clothes in which they appeared when arrested. A CARD. Having bought an interest in the Sumter Dry Goods Company, I have resigned my position with O'Donnell & Co., and will hereafter be found wi^li the Sumter Dry Goods Company, and will be glad to have my friends call on me there. J. T. Green. June 15-lt. Unless care and watchfulness are ex? ercised this rainy spell will be follow? ed by a pest of mosquitoes. Water will stagnate in low places and every old tin can and bottle that catches water will breed mosquitoes by the thousand. Empty every can and put oil or some liquid disinfectant on the water in the low places. A little kerosene on stagnant water will do more good than many mosquitos nets. The Health Officer is doing all that he can to kill off the mosquitoes but he can't do it all-people should look after their own premises. THE MINOR STORE 14 S. Main Street, Sumter, S. C.
