Your Name in Prit.
-T. M. Gilland, Esq., of Kingstree, and
W. F. B. Haynsworth, Esq., of Sumter,
were in town last Monday, on business.
--Mr. R. 1. Thompson. of Salem, was
in town a part of last week. He It Sun
day ighrit for harleston, to attend the U.
- in the naval stores business at Withers, Ga..
and who has been spending the holidays
with his father's family, will return to
Georgia this week.
-Senator Joseph F. Rhame, who has
been quite unwell since the Legislature
closed, and who for the most of the time
since then has been confined to his bed,
was in his office for a short while yesterday.
-Mr. J. E. Thigpen and family, who
have been residents of Manning for the
pest year, left for Newnan, Ga., last night.
Mr. Thigpen returns to engage in the naval
stores business, he finding that business
more profitable than farming.
-Mr. C. H. Pack, one of our best and most
pruminent young farmers, has decided to
make his home at Kershaw, Kershaw coun
ty, and will leave for that place next week.
His family will not leave for a month yet.

The Tams is full of interesting
reading matter this week.

The Auditor is busy taking tax re
turns. See his notice in another col
umn.
Mr. B. A. Walker has bought. the
Drayton fruit stand for a milk dairy.
It was a pretty little house.
Read the advertisement of the New
York Herald. It is probably the best
paper published in the United States.
Buy your rent and supply liens,
bille of sale, and other law blanks at
the M am q Tms ofce. Lowest
Remember that the lest, the very
last day for paying taxes is next
Tuesday, Jan. 15th, and then comes
the penalty.
The price of guanos is two or three
dollars more per tojn this year than
last, and scarce at that. Farmers
should make more fertilizers at home.
Mr. John P. Moran, of Sumter,
lia failed. He left his business in
the bands of. his father and son, and
went to New York. This is the second
business failure in Sumter, in a short
time.
The measles now prevalent all over
the county are of a bad hind. Per
.oas who ar attacked with thexin
should be very careful not to expose
themselves too soon after they leave
their beds. Death is frequently the
penalty for such indiscretion.
-T~ Harvin-iron railroad from the
depotlo Harvins mill in the southern
part of the town is about completed,
and the little engine's whistle is an
every day thing. We have heard a
rumor that the Messrs. Harvin will
run this road to Summerton. Well,
Summerton may yet be a-second At
lanta.

will be held in the Academy halls on next
Friday evening. The exercises will com
mence promptly at 'i.30. o'clock. rl'he stu

tainment. The public are cordially invited.
Dr. Eeynolds's Return Home.
We are pleased to learn that Dr. Rey
nolds has been heard from, and will very
shortly return home, or probably has al
ready returned. He had taken a trip to St.
%.T. Tr t.amal55 O~n mnds
Trial Justice.
Maj. P. G. Bentbow has received his com
mission as trial justice, and has entered
upon the duties of his offie. His commis
sion is dated Dec. 24th. .We presume the
oter trial justices in the county likewise
have got their commissions.
Delayed Mails.
The Northern and Charleston mail failed
to reach this office Tuesday morning. It
is becoming a common occurence for the
mails to miscarry and not come in on time,
and it is evidently the fault of the mail
agents who of late seem to have become
- careless in the matter.
'Salesdaiy.
There was a big crowd in town last Mon
day at the public sales, and a good deal of
property was sold. John S. Wilson, Esq.,

Governor Richardson Endorsed.
AsnDEsos, January 7.-An immense
crowd attended the sales here to-day.
Taking advantage of this fact the
leaders of the farmers' movement
made strenuous efforts to get up an
indignation meeting, condemnatory
of Governor Richardson for his fail
ure to sign the Clemson College bill.
The meeting did not materialize,
however, as a large majority of those
present, many of them quondam "farm
ers' movement" men, expressed grati
fication at the Governor's course, and
heartilv endorsed the votes of Senator
Murray and Representative Clink
scales against the acceptance of the
bequest by the State.

A SCRAP OF PAPER SAVES HER LI E.
It was just an ordinary scrap of wrapping
paper, but it saved her life. She was in the
last stages of consumption, told by physi
cians that she was incurable and could live
only a short time: she weighed less than
seventy pounds. On a piece of wrapping
paper she read of Dr. King's New Discovery,
and got a sample bottle; it helped her, she
bought a large bottle, it helped her more,
bought another and grew better fast, con
tinued its use and is now strong, healthy.

unanimously adopted a resolution recom

order to be able, if possible, to co-operate
with the State Alliance in any arrangement
with the States."
The Sumter County Alliance met the same
day and cousidered the sams subject, but
their action in reference to the matter was
not made public.
