The ministers of the city will be requested to dispense with their even? ing service, in order that everyone may be privileged to attend the mass meeting on Sumlnv evening tit eight o'clock. The Y. M. (\ A. is unquestionably a good thing for Sumter, as it Is for iinv city.

The Y. M. C A. is not a business organisation for the purpose of a, luring an annual flnancal divi? dend to Its stoc kholders; but it is an organisation that confers ? real and Jasting lienelll upon every one who agsjjgg within the pale of its Influence.
