THE FIRST GERMAN The first german of the Sumter Ger? man Clab was the most elaborate and most eminently successful social func? tion of its kind ever given in Sututer. The committee for this dance has set a pace that will be extremely difficult for the other commiittees to follow. The hall was decorated with rare and artistic taste by Mr. D. A. Minor and the elegant supper was furnished by the same gentleman. The german was beautiful. It was quietly and gracefully led by Mr. I. C. Strauss, who took the. dancers through numerous figures n?=w to tb? Sumter people, and which presented a grand spectacle to the onlookers. The favors were many and pretty, and will be happy reminders of a most delightful occasion. \ There is so little cotton seen on the streets nowadays that one would never imagine that Sumter is the biggest cotton market iu the State.

Oliver, was on hand and at his best and the facts of past and present, full of encouragement and hope. The Sunday school in at? tendance and class contribution was the largest in its history. The ser? mons were of rare strength and pow? er. In the morning the nature and mis? sion of a Christian church was pres sented from Math. 16:IS. At night the "Song of Redemption" was un? folded with great clearness and pow? er. It was a climax of spiritual quickening. At both services the peo? ple" lingered with gladness. The clerk. Mr. W. F. Rhame, read j a brief history of the church at the morning session. Mr. B. J. Rhame, the treasurer deacon, had prepared a surprise for j the congregation in the shape of a j picture postal card-the pastor and I church building.
