DURANT'S PUMPKIN.
Guess the Number of Seed 1t Contains

Guess the Number of Seed 1t Contains.
DR.. Durant has inaugurated one of
the most novel and attractive adver-
tising schemes that has ever been put
on in Sumter. He has secured, at
some trouble and expense, one Of the
largest pumpkins ever grown in the
State, and the prize contest will con-
sist in guessing the number of seed
that the pumpkin contains. Every
five cents purchase Of drugs. cigars,
toilet articles, soda water or anything
in his up to date pharmacy will entitle
the purchaser to one vote. The prize
is an elegant $4,000 gold watch. on
exhibition at and guaranteed by Mr..
L W. Folsom.
Mr.. Durant does not require that
the exact number Of seed be guessed,
but will award the watch to the per-
son guessing nearest to the number
of seed that the pumpkin contains.

man Clab was the most elaborate and
most euiuently successful social func-
tion OF its kind ever given in Sumter.
The committee for this dance has set
a pace that will be extremely difficult
for the other committees to follow.
The hall was decorated with rare
and artistic taste by Mr.. D. A. Minor
and the elegant supper was furnished
BY the same gentleman.
The german was beautiful. 1t was
quietly and gracefully led by Mr.. l..
6. Strauss, who took the. dancers
through numerous figures new to the
Sumter people, aud which presented
q grand spectacle to the onlookers.
The favors were many aud pretty,
and will be happy reminders OF most
delightful occasion.
