A Delightful Surprise.

wearied traveller, with a tired horse
The eliminating point however was
reached in your city last Friday night
the 18th inst. when to our surprise
company was announced"
1t was a large company, all with
bright and cheerful faces. 1t was
composed of husbands and wives,
brothers and sisters, little boys and
large girls, little girls and large boys,
young men and maidens-and on they
pressed, and in they crowded, until
there was hardly standing room. 1t
was joyous crowd. Their hands and
arms which were laden with gifts
indicated business. Some of these
were heavy, requiring four mules and
strong arms to put them in place,
others calling into requisition the
lighter delivery wagon.
These gifts were OF various sizes
and weights, from barrels to lead
pencils. They were of various shapes
and colors, of bundles, sacks, of wood,
of glass, of tin and costlier make
Japanese ware) and silver. They
were of various colors, of red, OF
orange and other shades. Some were
in liquid form, some were not. Some
of these gifts were sweet, some were
sour, some were from the far North,
some were from the far South, (The
Land of Flowers,) some were cooked,
some were not, some for health, some
for sickness. some were useful, some
were ornamental, some to nourish the
body, and some were to feed the mind
as the latter lay before me in the
beautifully bound volumes from the
gifted pen of Rev. J. Walter Daniel Of
our city. "The- Girl in Checks" sOut
from under Caesars Frown" and "a
Ramble among Surnames." There
were fruits and there were flowers.
But where is my pencil carrying me :?
I purposed in the beginning of this,
simply to ask little space in your
paper to return to all who are repre-
sented in these gifts my kindest
thanks. Very respectfully.

Bind Tiger Arrested.

u. D. Wheeler, the colored fruit dealer who
runs little shop On Main Street next door TO
Levi Bros, was arrested on Monday night by
Chief A. H. Weeks for selling liquor in viola
ton of the City Ordinance enacted on Novem-
Der goth Chief Weeks searched the premises
and captured Ave pint TASKS of whiskey and
several empty bottles. The arrest was made
directly after the purchase of Aask of
whiskey by Dave VIM, colored, who was
sent by Chief Weeks to make purchase 80
that complete case would be made out.
Wheeler was tried before Council on
Tuesday morning, convicted and sentenced
to pay fine of $40 or to be imprisoned for
thirty days. On the charge of violating the
dispensary law, Wheeler was tried by Trial
Justice Manning and convicted. He was
sentenced to pay ine of $40 or to be
imprisoned thirty days.
Both Chief Weeks aud Policeman c. P.
Barwick testified that they had taken drinks
with Wheeler in his place, and this testimony,
in addition to tie fact Of the purchase of
the liquor by Dave Wihn, made conviction
certain.
This case seems to settle the fac. that
the police force Of Sumter will actively
assist in the enforcement of the dispensary
law.
In view of the fact that the State author
tiles had also taken up the matter as above
stated, the Mayor subsequently, reduced
Wheeler's fine to $l0, which be then paid.
The State case was then taken upon appeal
10 the Court of General Session on legal
question raised by his counsel Mr.. Edwards,
bond given for his appearance and Wheeler
released
