MILLINERY OPENING. was
large attendance at r. G. Shiver s. Co.'s
exhibition of millinery goods yesterday,
and we learn that the display was mag.
nificent. The sub-local was not present,
and feeling his inability to discourse
upon feathers and flowers, fashions and
fancy work, chignons and curls. bopnets
and bows, and the innumerable articles
kept in millinery establishment, will
leave this and kindred institutions to the
tender mercies OF our fashion editor,
when he returns to his post

DEATH OF AN OLD CITIZEN OF CoLUM.
Ave regret to announce the death
Of DR.. Edward Sill, which occurred at
Salisbury, N. c., day or two ago. His
remains reached this city yesterday, and
the funeral services will be performed at
Trinity Church, to-day, at IL o'clock.
DR.. Sill spent the greater part of his
long and useful life ps citizen of Co.
lumbia. Long ago, before Columbia
claimed to rank as city, he was twice
elected to the Office of Intendant of the
town, which he filled in an able and &c.
ceptable manner. He was druggist by
profession, and bnilt up large and sue
cessful business in that line here, which
he maintained until the burning of the
city by Sherman, when, in common with
his neighbors, he was completely ruined.
For several years past, he was in the
drug business at Salisbury, N. c., where
he died, and. where. by his accustomed
activity and strict attention to his call
ing, he was again making headway
against the world. He was upwards of
three-score years and ten at tho time of
his death.
The "OLD RELIABLE. This troupe
Will boIlCo VI oIthlumeuLH
in Twins Hall, on Thursday evening
next, continuing for three nights only.
We refer our readers to the subjoined
extract from the Macon, Ga, Telegraph,
and also to their advertisement:
Tonight, the old Reliable troupe
will give an entertainment. No COM
mendation OF the merits Of the troupe is
necessary at our hands. Helen D'Este,
the star actress is we'll known to our
community, and those vino .had the
pleasure of seeing her on the stage when
here last, will surely take advantage of
the second opportunity at present af-
forded them. She is we'll supported.
MIR. Stutzs, as tragedian, is perhaps
superior to any who has ever visited our
town. Mr.. Tannehill, in either tragedy
or comedy, fails not to entertain"
The MEDICAL AssocIATIoN.-We an
nounce with pleasure that the railroad
companies, through their officers, have
given the privilege to delegates to the
State Medical Association, which will
assemble in Columbia on the 10th of this
