We have been having regular sum-
mer weather this week. A slight
sleet last Saturday, but it didn't stay
cold long.

acquitted last Saturday.

The observance of the immortal
Georges birthday in Manning was,
to state paradox, not observed at all
beyond the closing of the bank. All
other businesses pursued the even
tenor OF their way, and the day pass
ed off as any ordinary, common, every
day Saturday usually does. Not that
we love George less but Doodle more.
Sheriff Doar, of Georgetown, tele-
graphed yesterday to the sheriff OF
this county, that he had captured
Pedro Meyers and Dick Meyers Gath
er and sony. These two gentlemen
are Jail birds that had flown from
their cage some months ago, and un-
til now succeeded in evading arrest.
Last night Sheriff Lesesne despatched
deputy to Georgetown to bring the
birds back, and their arrival is expect
ed here tomorrow, when they will
resume their respective positions in
the county jail until the. next term OF

Selling Goods in Sumier.

The Levi Brothers, of Sumter, are
receiving by every train line of goods
suitable for the present and coming
season. These young gentlemen are
making display with their goods
that does them credit. They are en-
deavoring to keep abreast of the times,
and with abundant capital at their
command, and with their practical
experience, they are now on the top
round of the mercantile ladder, and
propose to stay there, and be the mer-
camille leaders of the city of Sumter.
They have just opened beautiful as
sortment of gingbams in plain, stripes,
and plaids; an exquisite line of satines,
persian, striped, and figured, includ-
ing all the very latest styles; and an
elegant line of the very latest spring
shades of all kinds of ladies dress
goods. An immense stock of shoes is
also being opened, and their clothing
counters were never filed with a finer
assortment. The nobbiest styles in
hats can be found in their establish
ment. In fact, any article that the
people need and that a frst-class mer-
chant will have in his store will be
found with the Lewis.
Their motto is never let the stock
get down, but always keep the shelves
and counters we'll filed with the best
assortment of goods that can be pur-
chased.
The Lewis have proven already that
they can sell groceries as cheap as any
house by selling in large quantities to
the number of sub-unions they are
furnishing. They appreciate the sub
union trade. They boast of it, and
say that although their profit is very
small the large quantities of goods
sold by them makes it very profitable
in the end, and certainly more agree
able to all parties concerned.
When any of our people go to
Sumter it will be to their interest to
visit the Levi Brothers, and they will
convince you that your visit to them
was not thrown away, and if we are
any judge you will come away from
them delighted that you called and
purchased from them.

Pooling a sheen Dog.

New York Sun.
l was staying with a Kentucky farmer
one night, and soon after supper he said
to his three sons:
"Well, boys, it is the right sort of a
night, and l reckon you'd better put the
wool on and lie low"
When asked for an explanation of
his strange words he invited me to go
out to the barn, where the boys had
preceded us, and where l found each
one covered with disguise made of
sheepSkins. Each one had a short
heavy club. with portion of it orna-
mented with sharp spikes, and when
ready they went over to the pasture,
where about 100 sheep were lying.
When down on their hands and knees
and little way off they closely resem-
bled overgrown sheep. They took diff
fereut stations, and the farmer and l
sat down III fence corner to wait.
1t was, perhaps, an hour before an
alarm came. Then a dog stole into the
field from the rear side and the sheep
came running toward us. Presently
there was yelp, and then all grew
quiet. Ten minutes later second dog
came in, and he was soon followed
by third. Then, as half an hour
passed without another alarm, the three
boys came over to us, each dragging a
dead dog by the tail.
Cit the spade and let's bury EN-"
said the old man. elbow many does
this make this summer, Rube?'
"Twenty-siX, / reckon"
''Nicest thing in the world" contin-
ued the father, as he rubbed his hands
together. DOG takes one of the boys
for an old wether, makes dash at him,
and the next thing he knows his head is
busted. No shooting, no row to attract
the neigh6ors, and the man who misses
his dog can have no hard feelings. Tum-
BILE 'em in. bows, and then we'll tap that

for me to open it to welcome him in, he
will see the
DOOR ALL SCRATCHED
up where dog has brought his claws
down OH 1t, hard ana deep enough to
cut it half in two. This dog knows
that in the house there is warm fire,
and when he sees me go in and close
the door he knows that l am protected
from the cold and away from the cold
bitter elements, and he wants the same
thing. He didn't propose to have me
go in and shut the door in his face and
leave him to freeze on the outside. This
dog can't look up tariff reports and
write and make speeches on the sub
jeet of protection, but when he is shut
out doors to SILVER in the cold, he can
enter protest by scratching as vigor-
ously as the next one. 1t is true, he IS
classed among the dumb brutes. but he
is able to express his appreciation of
warm fire just as well as any man liv-
ing. He has not been slow in finding
out that it is more enjoyable place on
the carpet behind the stove than out in
the snowdrift.
The granger now shivering, and
whose teeth are chattefing in the cold,
IS just commencing to scratch at the
door of the protectionist and call on him
to open up and let little of his heat
out, or let him come in and enjoy the
comforts of his home. When the pro-
tectionist is asked TO give up or divide
up anything, you see if he doesn't OBJ
ject to having dog in the house. He
will send up terrific howl about dirt
on the. carpet, feas. unpleasant odors,
and why a dog should not be let in the
house. But, unprotected grangers.
sshivering in the cold, keep scratching,
hammering and pounding at the door
till You get in, or break the door down
and if you can't break the door down,
stand Oh the outside till he comes out,
then tear him to pieces. Let there be
protection for all or none.
