The Passing Of the Songsters.

Mr. Edi;or Our coautrv is fast getting
depleted of the beautiful variety of birds
that have so long been here. Fhe innocent
and lively little blue bird was destroyed by
last veAr's freeze The sweet songster, the
mockng bird, is getting to he very scarce,
and so With all the others. The swamps
used 10 be full Of the lively little chirpers,
bu. you can hear very few now Nothing
but the hawks, buzzards and crows seem to
hold their numbers. Tbej''fo1" squirrel is a
thing Of the past, and the 'cat" squirrel is
getting TO he rare The law protects certain
classes of birds Why not protect all of
them This destruction of birds s caused
by shooting them continually. Every un
that can FIRE is turned loose on them, and i
is wonder that We have any at all here.
Let us hope that an enlightened public senti-
ment will arouse itself against the wholesale
destruction Of our inrocent birds and our
law makers will be forced 10 protect them by
law. A country without birds is like a
house without children-dreary and desoate.

The artesan we'll at Mr.. ". F. B. Hayns-
worth's is becoming a popular resort. Many
people are drinking the water regularly with
great benefit to their health. The water
contains iron, sulphur, magnesia and lithla
in considerable quantities and is without
doubt remedial agent Of value IN certain
cases. As the water is light and pleasant to
the taste, it will probably grow in popularity
as its ealthgivipg virtues become better
known, with time and by tests. II appears
that this section has n inexbaustible supply
of mineral water underlying it that can be
obtained ut the small cost required 10 bore an
artesian we'll, and there is no reason why
this Gift of nature should not be utilized aud
TO turned practical account. Winter visitors
from the North are coming to Sumter in larger
numbers each season, although no effort has
even been made to induce them to come. No
attempts have been made to bring Sumter
into notice as resort for Northern tourists,
who seek in the South genial temperature
and health-giving climate. Sumter has these
in common with other towns that have be-
come known, by means of advertising, as
winter health resorts, and if in addition,
valuable mineral waters can be offer
ed as we'll as an absolutely pure free-stone
water, there is reason why Sumter should
not have large colony of Northern tourists
in future winters.
