Joseph Levan, for many years Sum? ter's best known .barber, died Monday about 12:30 o'clock, aged 75 years. He had had been quite feeble for sev? eral years and for that reason had been unable to follow his trade. Arl of the older residents of Sumter knew him well and he had their friendship and respect throughout his life. He went to Virginia with the first company that was sent out from Sum? ter at the beginning of the war and as the body servant of the late Henry W. Gardner, he remained with the anny during the greater part of the war. After the war during the recon? struction period, he was a staunch Democrat and voted for Hampton in 1876, and to the day of his death was a loyal Democrat. He was cour? teous, but not subservent in manner end iiad as much natural dignity ? s ? i. any negro the writer has ever known He respected himself and had the re? spect of ail who knew him. His death is regretted by his many friends, and it leaves a vacancy in the ranks of the old citizenship of Sumter.

Representatives of all the Sunday schools in the city met Sunday af? ternoon at the First Baptist church to collect contributions and to devise means by which committees from the various congregations in town could visit the members of their churches for the purpose of augmenting thc funds already in hand. This is the j thirteenth and most successful year of this particular branch of the Sun ? day school work. Each year Mr. L. I. ! Parrott, the genial clerk of court, has been in charge of the collection of i the funds that bring sunshine into many poor homes on Christmas day j and so efficiently has he always dis- j charged his duty that without his as- j sistance and advice, the ladies would be greatly involved in trovfble, as to | ; the most expedient means of distribut j ing the presents purchased with the I funds contributed by the generous ! pi opie of Sumter. ! J The church was crowded Sunday i evincing the interest the Sunday1 ?school workers take in this nollie j movement.

Wedgefield. Sug? gested for ltci^rcsentative. It will be necessary to hold an elec tion in the immediate future to.choose a successor to Hon. Altamont Moses in the House of Representatives. Jt is expected that Speaker Smith will issue his writ of election within a fe x days, and for "that reason there has been some discussion of possible and probable candidates. The names of three or four gentlemen have been mentioned as possible candidates, but there has been on announcement made. A suggestion has been made by four I representative citizens ox the c >unty ! that as both Messrs. Fraser and Ciif j ton arc residents of the city the third j representative should oe elected from the county, and these geneltmen inde pendentiy, at different times, ana it is I presumed without consultation, as j they reside in different sections of the j county, suggested that Mr. E. E. Ay* j cock, of Wedgefield be selected as the S man to fill the vacancv in thc Sumter ! delegation. This paper has no candi j date and will have none, but at the ; request of the gentlemen referred to ? the suggestion is given publicity. It can b* said, however, that Mr. Aycock would be an*, excellent selection, and no one could be found to discharge the du'ies more faithfully or intelligently. Father Burke Coming. j The Rev. Thos. F. Burke, who gave j a mission at St. Joseph's Chapel a few j years ago, is expected here this even I ing as the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Neill j O'Donnell, where he will be pleased ; to see his many friends.
