The east is learning and getting
right. In President Cleyeland's own
county in New York Mr.. Bryan re-

BEAR in mind that if you would vote
in the state election you must register.
Let every democrat in Terrell county
go at once and attend to this important
matter.
Mr.. Ii HUNG CHANG, the great
Chinese diplomat, has reached Amer
lea and snapped amenities with Mr..
Grover Cleveland. The country would
now enjoy a breathing spell.
JUDGE HAMMOND, of Atlanta, has
rushed into print to give notice that
he will vote for Mckinley and Hobart.
When Mr.. Bryan hears of this he will
probably hasten to call council Of
war.
In all parts of the state democratic
papers are urging demOcrats.t to vote the
straight democratic state ticket. 1t is
singular that such appeals should need
to be made. But these are strange
times.
JUDGE GRIGGs opened winning

From present indications the second

The entertainment given by toe young
ladies of the Sumter 1ns:itute last Thursday
evening proved source of much pleasure and
qualification to the large audience that filled
the large hail formed by throwing the class
rooms into one by the removal Of the folding
doors. The hall was tas;efully decorated,
aud the stage, draped will: crimson curtains,
and trailing tendr,ls Of green vines made g
very effective and appropriate background for
the various hunters OF the programme.
After the programme had been concluded
the hall was turned over to the young folks
for an hour or more and the last part Of the
evening was no; less pleasant than the arst.
The programme was as follows:
Instrumental Solc-"Feu Follet' Du-
rand-lliss Edmondsou.
