The four-months-old child of Mr. Remhert Brltton. of this city, died at 2 o'clck on the 4th instant after a brief Illness. Mr. James D. Evans, one of the best known citizens of the Spring Hill neighborhood died at 7.30 Monday night at the Mood-Osteen Infirmary of apoplexy, after only a few hours' Ulnes*. Mr. Evans came to town Monday morning as he was accustomed to do quite frequently and spent the morn? ing attending to business. Soon after mid-day he had an attack of acute in? digestion and became so ill that he went to the Infirmary for treatment. The attack appeared to yield prompt? ly to treatment and in a short time he was very much better, though not able to return home on the afternoon train as he had expected to do. About 7 o'clock he was stricken with apo? plexy and died within a half hour. The body was taken to Spring Hill Tuesduy morning and the funeral ser? vices were held at Pisgah Church at 4 o'clock that afternoon. Mr. Evans, who was fifty-two year* old. is survived by his wife and sev? eral sons and daughters. Mr. L. Frank Thompson died at the home of his parents In Charleston 8. C, on Thursday. Sept. 5th, after a brief Illness, aged 24 years. The de? ceased tfas a resident of this city for a part of the year '05, and is pleas? antly remembered by all who formed his acquaintance. He was an expert linotype operator and was employed in Atlanta until a few lays prior to his denth. When In Sumter he was connected with the Freeman Publish? ing Company. Last spring an effort was made to organize a lyceum course of lectures for the winter season. What was done about It? Attention Is invited to the adver? tisement of .Schwartz Bros. Their buyer* have Just returned from the Northern markets and the goods are now being placed on display. A runaway horse created a i'urrv >n Liberty Street Monday afternoon. The horse, which was hitched to a yellow wheel buggy, started some? where on East Liberty Street and da-died across Main and down Wagt Liberty. It was stopped on West Liberty before any damage was done the buggy. The city license tax on dogs has not appreciably reduced the number or' dogs running at large. Every man whoxhas paid the tax Is authorized to let his canine run,on the streets and It seems that> those who have not paid the tax are doing likewise. Instead of a license tax there should be a penalty for permitting dogs to run at large. The street is no place for a dog, whether It be decorated with a brass license tag or not. The streets wire crowded Saturday with cotton-laden wagons and with people. The large receipts of cotton last \\?.k approximating 1.000 hales ?and the relativery high prices com? pared with the ruling prices in recent years have worked together to relievo the financial stringency that has been noticeable for several weeks and the fall business opened with a rush. It Is the time that the greater part of the cotton money goes toward the settle? ment of debts contracted In the earls part of the year, but there Is a good deal left in the hands of the sellers and this goes into the chunnels of trade. Eversbody waa busy today. ?nd everybody seemed to feel good. The New School Building. Very satisfactory progress i* being made on the new school bulMIng, work was begun on the same day that the contract was awarded. The time has been spent since In laying I most substantial foundation of concrete and In getting together the regutsite mate? rial. Much of the material is now OH UM ground and from now on rapid P.-ogress will be manifest. It Is ex? pected that the building will be ready fur use by the first of January, l'JOS.
