We are pained to announce to oi
.readers that onr old and valued friend,
Mr. G M. Wheeler, died at £isrem
lenoe near this city at 9 o’clock on the
■noruingof Tuesday, the 17th itat.
To every citizen of -Sumter County,
«nd to each of his mauy acquaintances it
his section of Georgia, these, we know,
■re sad tidings.
Before the organization «f nmter,
md while the peopled country about in
van a wooded wilderness, with a chain**
wvller here and there within its limits
Mr. Wheeler came with his parent* to thi*
■t-ighborhood, from the county of Bald
»*in, in which ho was liorn ou the 5tl
luy of April 1813, being at th time ol
ettling near here a la.1 of about fitteei.
•i miners.
During the more than forty years of hi*
•vsidence among our people, he has
iine.1 firmly their confidence and
em, and has filled various offices within
their gift, with ability and with satisfac
»ion. He was Sheriff and Deputy Sheriff
of this county for 18 years; was Clerk and
Treasurer of the city of Americas for many
years ; and was Tax Col.ector of Sumter
•ounty for ten years, to which oflici
ie was re-elected at the late election with
/ut opposition. This last event evinces
.q a great measure the upright and accep
table character and conduct of the man,
•vhich won for him a stcedy and unvary
ing popularity, not with one party or orn
•lass of. the community, but with all con
litions and orders of our people.
Mr. Wheeler was 57 years old at the
late of his death, and hod been confined
o bis bed by a painful and complicated
itllictiou for two months. He was bur
led with Masonic honors Wednesday af
ternoon at 3 o'clock, in Oak Grove Cem-
•iery, a large procession of friends and
•cquaiutauces following his body to its
♦dent chamber iu the still and in&ible
uun.sions of the dead.
His widowed wife and the four father-
•ess children who are now so sadly lelt
in tleir home, are not alone in the deep
♦arrow they leel. The many companions
of liis younger days and the numberless
friends of bis useful and honored man
hood bow themselves, each beneath a
personal, and together beneath the public
loss which has thus come upou us.
A useful, just, honorable and honest
an has died. However common these
terms may be in eulogistic notices of the
dead, it seldom happens that they are
used with so'just and strong a claim to
the emphasis and eloquence of truth, as
tbe fresh record of Mr. Wheeler's life to
day warrants.

Good News for Boys and G ris-
The publishers of Burks Weekly for Bogs
md Girls in response to a very generally
vpressed wish, have determined, wi-h
lie new year, to change the character o
that publication iuto a first class Month
ly Magazine for the boys and girls of th«
South.
They are satisfied that their paper has
applied a want long felt at the South,
ud that a well-conducted Muguziu
high moral tone, filled with contributions
from the best writers, and embracing
largo amount of valuable information,
be made highly attractive to youth
ful minds, without the udvantitious and
pernicious aid of sensational literature.
The same writers who havo assisted
making the “Weekly” so wonderfully
popular, will contribute to the Magazine.
The first number willeontuin the opening
chapters of a new story by the author of
‘Big-Foot Wallace,” “Jack Dobell.” etc.
entitled The Indians at Dirt Dauber*i
Nest; a tale of the Scminoles—told in Mr,
Duval’s best style. Mrs. Maria Pendle
in Kennedy, of Virginia, will contribute
charming story of Virginia Life—The
Hermitage Children. Mary Faith Lloyd
will contribute a beautiful Fairy Tale.—
Dr. O. F. Ticknor, Paul H. Hayue. Mrs.
McKinnie, Mrs. Mary Ware, Mrs. S. E.
Peck, Mrs. E. E. ForJ, and other well-
known writers, will furnish contributions
of great value and interest.
All the old aud popular features of the
“Weekly” will Ik? retained iu the new
Magazine. The editor will hold his
monthly chuts with his little readers and
orrespondents through the Letter Bag.
.nd tno Chimney Comer will continue to
be crowded with Rebusses, Charades,
Enigmas, Puzzles, etc.
The Magazine will be issued monthly,
numbers of forty-eight pages each,
printed on the best calendered paper, aud
elegantly illustrated. Terms 82 00 a
year—three copies for §3 00. Specimen
copies sent free on application to J. W.

“Too Much Pkovidkxce.”—The Me-
ipoli&tn Reconi thinks there is entirely
too much freedom used in attributing
this, that and the other thing to Provi-
e.’ Thus, Kaiser Wilhelm has been
making Providence responsible for every
defeat of the French army, whereas ev
erybody knows that, the mishaps of the
French are the direct consequences of
certain perfectly natural causes. The
Record adds : “The propriety of recog
nizing the permission of Heaven to what
happens upon earth is not, of course, to
t*c questioned. But it is not the will of
Providence that Smith should commit a
murder, or that Brown should be hang-
Smitli is directly responsible for
his crime, and Brown dies to satisfy the
Providence permits the crime of
nnd the punishment of the other,'
but has no direct hand in either. Any
doctrine but this contradicts tbe Divine
irdinance that man shall be accountable
for his ucts. ”

How to Make Times Easy.—The peo
ple throughout this and many other
counties are complaining of the scarcity
of money, and with a great deal of truth.
The great mass of the farmers and labor-
uen feel tbe absence of a flush of
money more keenly than any one else.—
But how few of 1 them ever think of the
causes that produce what they call “ tight
time. ” On the subject of the scarcity of
money and lmrd times we make the fol
lowing extract from au exchange, to
which we direct -the attention of the read
er, hoping he will ponder it well :
To us the reason seems plain ; and
____ who stops to investigate will need no
spectacles to see it, for it looms up like
some distant mountain towards the deep
blue sky. We rely upon other sections
too much for our wants ; we send
money away, to be used to keep
heel upon our necks. Instead of keeping
it at home, by patronizing and building
up institutions of our own, we raise our
cotton and send it off at fifteen cents per
pound, and take the same money and buy
it back, in its manufactured state, at three
times what we realized from it. Then
again, if we want a bolt of domestic,
needle, a threshing machine, or a shoe
peg, a wagon or a wheelbarrow, a steam
engine, or a paper of carpet tacks, or any
thing else, we send North to get them ;
while we have manufactures springing
up among us, struggling for a time against
the tide, and finally die for want of pat
ronage.

we have the statistics, and this, too,
while we have as good companies in the
South as in any country, to say nothing
of the thousand and one other things

wonder that we ore poor and money

dium of the United States was South, we
would soon be poor and money scarce ii
we continued to send it away for things
that could easily be procured at home.
We are glad to see a disposition bn tl

—to remedy this evil, by baying what
they need at home. If we wish

“ The abolition of a sj>ecie currency,
giving a speculative aud uncertain char

stereotype cast can be obtained, equally
perfect as tboso formerly obtained
from a form of type set in the usual way.
These types (of two alphabets, figures,

machine operated by keys, and made to
imprint and indent a # mold 100 impres
sions per minute, from which a stereo

Feaufud Ride.—Frank Trask, a
fireman running on the night train from
this city to Providence, had a most re
markable escape from death ou Saturday
night hist. As the train was going on
the down grade east from the summit of
Bolton Mountain, l»e went to tho forward
part of the engine to oil tho piston.
The oil is distributed better when the
train is going fastest, aud he took this
part of the road, where the train gets its
highest speed, to attend to it. By some
sudden motion of the locomotive ho lost
his hold, aud was thrown for wan! on
to the cowcatcher, but instead of rolling
off und being dashed to pieces, as he ex
pected, the pilot caught him by a few
threads in the Cardigan jacket he had
so that he was held fast with his feet
dragging upon the ground—dashing
along in that perilous situation from fif
teen to twenty miles an hour. He did
not lose his consciousness nor his pres-
of nuud. but nerved himself to take
the best chances for his life. By a despe-
effort he succeeded iu keeping his
head raised so that it escaped the ground
though he was hanging close down.
and the least depression would dash
him to pieces. The engineer, in the
meantime, had not discovered tlie fright
ful position of his assistant till thinking
that he was gone longer than usual, he
looked forward and paw his shadow by
the light of the moon, running a phan
tom race with the iron horse. In an in
stant ho whistled down breaks, and the
speed began to slack; but in the sudden
checking of the train, the tender threads
of Trask’s jacket broke, and he ' 1

aud yet he retained his self possession,
aud when his associates arrived by his
side he was as clear-headed
A Tale of Horror.
Again we are called upon to chronicle
another horror of the traffic in coolies.
The Peruvian ship Uncows, from Macao,
China, for Callao, was set^on fire by
of tlie coolies when near Neptune island.
They succeeded in accomplishing their
belli h intention too well for after the
discovery of the fire all attempts to
tinguish* it were in vain. When it
found that there was no hope remaining
of saving the ship, the captain, officers
and crew were compelled to take the
boats, and leaving their living freight as
food for tho devouring element. They
were picked up by a Sun Salvador ship,
the Juauaoore, together with one hun

THE
EUREKA
A justice of the peace in Marengo, the
other day, after the examination of a
party ou the charge of embezzlement,
said :—“I am of the opinion that the de
fendant is innocent; but as I may be
mistuken, I shall hold him to a light-
bail.”
How a Man was Cured of the
Habit of Swearing.
The following may be a very good re-
ceipe but we would not advise any of our
lady readers, whose husbands are in the
habit of Bwearing, to try it:
A story is told of a citizen of Danbury,
who was broken of the wretched habit of
swearing, in a novel manner. He was an
inveterate t-uraer aud grumbler. At
every meal he neglected a blessing, and
swore ot everything from the gravy to
tho teapot His oaths discolored the nap
kins, soured tho bread and curdled the
milk. His wife, a woman who evidently
believed the hair of a dog would care the
bite, stood this unseemingly conduct
‘until forbearanco ceased to be a virtue."
One morning he was unusually cross and
profane, and was about to take a fresh
start at something else, when his wife
suddenly broke out with a series of damns
that made the old gentleman get up and
leave his chair as though some one had
introduced a pin between the canes. As
is she ceased, he breathlessly remark
ed, “Well, I swear., if it has got so you can
swear, it is time I should quit. ” And so
ho did.
ALL POINTS OF IMPORTANCE
Fussy. —About wine men out of ten
(outside of the profession) know that they
edit a newspaper—“easiest thing in
tho world for n man with any brains, sir ;
nothing to do but write a certain amount
daily; all you have to do is to keep your
head clear.” If some of these gentlemen
could be put forcibly in possession of a
newspaper and made to edit it for a month
o, they would have their eyes open
ed most wonderfully wide. They would
leartt that to sit at a desk quietly and
write pretty editorials, bears about the
proportion to the whole duty of
editor, as a bolt in the single-tree of a
carriage does to the entire vehicle. They
would learn that work never ceases in a
printing office; that constant watchful-
and care alone bring success; that r
steady drain on the brain of the editor is
theVule ; and that in addition, the head
of the establishment has to bear philo
sophically more grumbling, abuse and
advice, for less pay, than any other pro
fessional man would dream of. In short,
they would find that im editor is a hard
working man, a much abased man, and
most cases a mighty poorly paid one.
LWe are glad to notice that the
Marshals and Police of onr City now ap
pear in neat grey uniform. This improve
ment in the appearaoce of onr municipal
corps, has been long needed, and cannot
but bo most gratifying to onr citizens;—
This is another evidenco of the effecti-
and proper management of our present
worthy city administration.
