From the Daily Item June 28. "Hark the merry marriage bells ! What a world of happiness their harmony foretells.'' A charming wedding took place yes? terday afternoon, when, in the presence of relatives and friends, Mrs. Nora K. Britton, of Sumter was united to Mr. Henry Barnes of Providence, R. I., by Matthew Small, minister of the Christian Church. It was a well-kept secret, being a complete surprise to many of their friends. At the appointed hoar Mrs. Matthew Small eang with feeling, "Loves' Old Sweet Song," after which Mendlesohn's Wedding March announced the nuptial party, preceded by little Onida Breeden, as ring-hear? er. A chaste and beautiful a ceremony was pronounced by the minister, dar? ing which soft straius of music com? pleted the spell of the hour. The house was tastefully decorated in white and green by lady friends of the bride. The guests were received by Misses Olga Briton and Edna Try? on, daintily costumed in white. Mrs. Barnes is a woman of brilliant intellect and strong force of character, with many traits that endoar her most to those who know her best Her work as a journalist baa been eminent? ly successful in connection witb some of the leading journals of the United States. She is an accomplished musi? cian, having graduated from the New England Conservatory. A tailored costume of grey set off the bride's natural beauty.

A number of beuatifnl presents were received, among them an exquisite dia? mond sunburst from the groom to the bride.

A host of hearty congratulations and copious showers of rice accompanied their departure. The best wishes of all follow Mr. and Mrs. Barnes in their new relation? ship. DEATH. Mr. John H. Burgess, a well kuown citizen of Stateburg, who went to Glenn Springs a few days ago to spend two Wfceksfor the benefit of bis health, having been slightly unwell for some? time, died suddenly at that place Wednesday. The funeral were held at the Church of the Holy Cross. Stateburg, at 10 o'clock Friday morning. Mr. Burgess who was in his sixty third year was a native of Sumter county aud spent practically all of bis life iu the Statebnrg section. r,e was a Confederate, veteran serving as a courier for Gen. Ewell during the greater part of the war. He was cap? tured during the closing months of the war and was confined in a Federal prison for somtime after the war end? ed. The Sumter Telephone Manufactur? ing Co., shut down Monday and Tues? day for the 4th, and the hundreds of employes enjoyed a two days holiday. The canvass for additional sub? scriptions to the stock of the Sumter Fair Grounds Association is meeting with great success, many of the busi? ness men of the city having increased their subscriptions. Constipation and piles are twins. They kill people inch by inch, sap life away every day. Hollister's Rocky Mountain Tea will positively cure you. No cure no pay, 35 cents, Tea or Tab? lets. China's Drug Store. Automobile hose wagons would probably c the city less to maintain and not dc .ease the efficiency of the fire department. The initial invest? ment might be somewhat greater than for an ordinary wagon and team, but there would be no expense save when the machines were in actual service. The difference in cost of maintenance for automobiles and. the feed bill for the horses would more than pay the interest on the first cost of the auto? mobile It is but a question of a short time when when all fire departments will be equipped with automobile hose wagons, trucks and engines and Sum? ter may as well lead the way in South Carolina. Monaghan Hose Company is in a position to make the innova? tion. Instead of purchasing a new team why not purchase a new auto? mobile hose wagon and lead the pro? cession ? The greatest system renovator, Re? stores vitality, regulates the kidneys, liver and stomach. If Hollister's Rocky Mountain Tea fails to cure get your money back. That's fair. 35 cents, Tea or Tablets. China's Drug Store. An Honor Graduate. Miss Margie Monaghan returned a few days ago from the Ursuline Acad? emy of Wilmington, Delaware, from which she was graduated with highest nonors. Having already won the gold medal she was presented by those in authority with with a beautiful gold watch suitably engraved as the high? est reward for general excellence. Miss Marie is a great favorite in Sumter and has been receiving congratula? tions on ali sides. Sumter is proud of her record and hopes that many more will emulate her example. Strange, Isn't It? Woman sees a hat or bonnet in a milliner's window. It is in the latest style, so she determines to have that hat- or one just like it. No use to try to dissuade her-she wants that kind of a hat! No other will suit her. There she displays her will power, and probably does the same with ev? erything she buys for herself or her family. She makes, as it were, a fem? inine "Declaration of Independence." It is not surprising, therefore, to find some few women who still allow their grocers to choose for them in important .matters like food stuffs? In spite of the fact that grocers as a rule have long ago realized the ne? cessity of catering to their customers' rather than their own desires, there are still a few of the other kind left, who show a marked inclination to persuade customers to take what they do -not ask for, or desire. Take Lion Coffee, for instance, the leader of all package coffees, an es? tablished favorite for over twenty-five years in millions of homes, on account of its absolutely pure and uniform quality. Wouldn't you think it impossible that a single grocer can still exist who would oppose such an invincible argument of merit, by trying to persuade a customer to buy loose coffee in preference to Lion Coffee? Loose coffee has no standard of quality-nobody can guarantee that lt ls even clean. Of course, really independent and intelligent women know this, and so do up-to-date grocers, but if women were- as particular about coffee as about hats, NO kind of grocer could be without Lion Coffee.

Thunderbolt Fell Among a Crowd of Staieburg Ball Players. Lightning struck in a crowd of ne? groes who were attending a baseball game at Stateburg yesterday after? noon and while several of them were severely shocked none were killed. A horse belonging tG a negro named Long was killed and a mule was knocked down. A man who was standing by the horse was not hurt, but a boy who was in the act of get? ting into the buggy to which the mule was hitched was the most seriously shocked of any in the crowd. It is said that a fight was in progress at the time, but it is needless to say that the lightning stopped the fight and broke up the ball game. Convenient for Housekeepers.

The New Era, of Darlington, says: "Sumter can't teach us everything but in her Chamber of Commerce Sumter has set Darlington a shining example. Marion is another example. This staid old town once as lifeless as a corpse through the efforts of her busi? ness league assumed an air of pros? perity astonishing in the extreme. The secret of the prosperity of these and other towns is to be found in the live and concerted efforts put forth by its business organizations." A mad dog created a commotion on East Mary street on Monday. The rabid animal, which was described as a medium sized brown dog, with wool? ly hair, was snapping and biting at every object it encountered in its path, attracted attention by its pecu? liar actions and several persons pur? sued it with the intention of killing it, but before it could be overtaken it es? caped in Ricker's Hundred. During its career the dog bit two other dogs on Mary street, but the people it met gave it a wide berth. -o A negro boy who was driving Mr. Abe Ryttenberg's buggy Sunday, afternoon fell from the buggy and had his head badly cut. The horse went on without a driver and was finally stop? ped. The horse did not run away and the buggy was not damaged in the least. The boy has not been able to tell how the accident occurred.
