The hackmen sometimes do get a lit? tle over energetic In trying to get n^t ronage and get over the line prescrib? ed by the officers for their stand while the trains are In. DR. J. J. BOBSARD DEAD. ? Dr. John Joseph Bossard, one of Sumter's oldest citizens and disting? uished physician, died about 4 o'clock Thursday morning at his home on South Harvln street after an Illness of ' about two months. Dr. Bossard was born In Georgetown county on Feb. 25, 1824. being in his eighty-third year at the time of his death. His lather was from Georgetown but his mother was a native of Sumter. He was educated at Davidson and South Carolina Medical College. Dr. Bossard moved to this city aWbut 1834, w^ien it was a mereN village, and became identified with the growth .and de? velopment of the town at once. He was a distinguished surgeon in the Confederate service, senator from thir county and warden, Intendant, and mayor of Sumter for several terms. He leaves one child, Mrs. Percival Smith, of this city. His wife has been dead for several years. Funerfal services were held Friday morning at the Presbyterian church, of which he was a consistent meAiber The services were conducted by Rev. H. H. Covington, rector of the Church' of the Holy Comforter, as Rev. J. P. Marlon and Dr. W. J. McKay we~e absent from the city. The floral trib? utes were many and beautiful and showed the high esteem In which this distinguished citizen was held. The following were the pall-bear? ers: D. M. Blanding, J. M. Dick, A. C. Dick, W. B. Upshur, F K. Holman, J. G. DeLorme, S. C. Baker and J. H. Chandler. The city bell was tolled and business houses were closed as a mark of re? spect to a man who had served his city and country well. Dr. Bossard will be sady missed by a host of friends for he was a man looked up to as having great discre? tion and of brillant attainments. His disposition was a kind and charitable one and he was beloved for his high Christian character. Up to the time of his retirement, he was the leading medical practitioner of this county. Dr. Bossard's life's history Is a worthy one and the world has been bettered and helped by his having lived In it The usual monthly checking up of the county dispensaries was made Monday and everything was found In good shape.

Ac?dfdtng to the proposition of the Delgar Reel squad that It would go out of business on Deq. 1, and sell Its property to the city, there Is now only one fire company in the city. Mr. J. L. Alnutt, the local promoter and manager of the proposed electric* street railway for Sumter, said this morning that he was busy getting the franchise perfected and that th? ma? terial for the railway would probably arrive within the next ninety days when construction work would com? mence. It surely looks now like Sum? ter Is to have a street railway before another year goes by.
