He had stolen a horse from Mr. Wiggins, near Sumter city, and the arrest was made on Thursday night. The young was about twenty-three years old. Wick is a good one, and law broakers had better make themselves scarce about Americas when he is on duty. The Players. Quite a large and respectable dience heard the McElreth & Hudson Dramatic Company at the Opera House on Monday and Tuesday nights.

Besides the very best of eating, comfortable quarters are furnished. Those who want a desirable lodging place had better call on Capt. T. J. Brannon. A Big Blaze. On Sunday night about t o’clock the quiet of a Sabbath night was dis turbed by the alarm of the fire bell. People rushed to their doom and win- dows and saw ascending an im mense sheet of flame illuminate the heart of the business pan of the city. Soon an immense crowd had hasten ed to the scene, and the fire compa nies were promptly at work. Wil lett’s immense livery stables proved to bo the building on fire. In a very few moments the entire wooden structure was a mass of seething, roar ing flames.The attempt to extinguish the flames were utterly futile. AH the brave firemen could do was to so subdue the devouring element as to save the valuable piles of brick build- ingsand wooden dwellings. Fora While, so strong was the wind and so fiercely blew the showers of sparks that this seemed rather doubtful of success. Still the two steamers be gan to get in their steady work, and the crowd felt a kind or comfort and protection as they heard above the shoals of the people, and above the roar of the flames the steady whining of the engines and saw them shake under thepressure placed upon them. Several streams of water soon had the burning building under complete control, and the other property was safe. Mr. Willett succeeded in extricat ing all his stock, and when they rush ed recklessly through the streets, ter rified and even frenzied, they were unharmed. The building was the property of Mr. J. A. Kendrick, and was only insured for $250. The loss must have been several thousand dollars. Hew the stable caught was a mys tery. Some think It caught from the stove in the office. This is hardly probable as the stove was almost cold when removed. If it was the work of an incendiary, we must loathe his act wo must respect his courage, thus to set fire to such a large building on a pjpular thorough fare, so early in the night Such courage deserves to have even a greater test put to it, Rnd the man who would thus run into danger should be given an opportunity to stand firm as the hangman’s trap was kicked from under him. And flowers to wither at the north winds How like inspiration are those po etic words. How often do we Bee that death comes where and when least expected. When the aged and infirm die wo console ourselves with thought—this is natural But when one in the spring time of life of bright anticlpations.and buoy ant with hope is suddenly stricken,we shudder at the shock and feel if we not so express it how sad how In explicable. Wehave been led to these reflections on being Informed of the death of Mrs. Helen Boyd. Mrs. Boyd was the daughter of Judge W. Guerry and wife. Only a short while since she was in our midst, a sweet charming young lady. Admir ed by all and loved most by those who knew her best. Oh, what rapid chan- from a beautiful young lady she became a charming bride and then fond mother, and now in the process of change she sleeps the sleep that knows no waking. Youth, marriage, mother, death in a few brief years.— Surely “thou hast all seasons for thino own oh! death.” Mrs. Boyd departed this life a home in Plant City, Florida in her twenty-eighth year. Her death is pet culiariy sad, as she leaves an in fan- only a few ueeks old. This little charge will never know a mother 1 love. Away from her parents and those near and devoted to her, she was called upon to pass this sad But confidence in the promts- of the Muster robs death of Its sting and the grave of its victory.— Blessed thought death is not death it only sleep, a new birth—a trans planting from a world of sorrow to of rest and bliss. We sympathize with her husband and with her aged parents, and loving brothers and sLs- ters. May the God of all make them submissive to His will. And may the little motherless children be the spe cial charge of Him who has promised to look tenderly upon the unprotect- lambs. he was burled in Oak Grove Cemetery, there she will rest until the morning of tho resurrec tion. deal. Oar Artesian Well Again. Yesterday afternoon work was re sumed on tho artesian well under the management of Mr. J. J. Sloan, who is thououghly capable of the work he has undertaken. The well is now about 700 feet deep and it Is thought that a sufficient stream can be reached within a few hundred feet. The City Council have taken the matter in hand and have gone at it with a determination to win and we hope in a few days to see a stream of pure wa ter flowing through our streets. a Would Make a Good Wo have just learned that Col. Cutts would be Milling to accept the appointment of United States Marshall. We would be delighted to see Col. Cutts installed in that im portant position. He is eminently qualified to fill the position. His ly bearing, his business qualifications and his fitness marks him It would be gratifying to us as well as to Col. Cutt’s numerous friends for the appointing power to do himself the honor and Col. Cutts the kindness to tender him the office. Runaway. Tom Morgan’s horse is as much op posed to umbrellas as Lulu Hurst Lulu can’t cany an umbrella, nor can anyone do so in the presence of Tom Morgan’s horse. Tom tried it Satur day with melancholy results. He was coming down Church St., near Methodist Church, and concluded he would raise his umbrella, when the horse voted in the negative and bol ted away at such a lively rate that both Tom and the umbrella can contact with their parental earth while the baggy was sadly smashed and the horse galloped to town, to the tune “If you get there before I do. 1 When Advertlsln is Wanted. Tho Bridgeport Post strikes the nail on the head when it says: “There’s nothing on earth so mys teriously funny as a newspaper ad vertisement. The prime, first, last, and all the time, object of an adver tisement is to draw custom. It is not, was not, and never will be de signed for any other human purpose, 80 the merchant waits till the busy season comes, and bis store is of customers he can’t get his hat off, and then he rushes to the newspapers and puts in his advertisement. When the dull season gets along and there no trade, and he wants to sell goods bad he can’t pay his rent, he takes out his advertisement.] (That is, of them do, but occasionally a level headed merchant puts in a bigger and scoops all the business, while his neighbors are making mortgages pay the gas bill. There are times when you couldn’t stop people from buying everything in the store if you planted a cannon behind the door, and that is the time the advertise ment ]B sent oat on its holy mission. It makes light work for the advertise ment, for achalksign on the side walk could do all that was needed and have holiday six days In the week, but who wants to favor vertisement? They are built to do hard work, and Bhould be sent out in the dull days when a customer has to be knocked down with hard facts and kicked insensible with bankrupt ductions and dragged in with irresis tible slaughter of prices before he will spend a cent. That’s the aim and end of an advertisement, and if yon open a store, don’t try to get them to como when they are already sticking out of the windows, but give them your advertisement right be tween the two eyes in the dull son, and you will wax rich and own fast horse, and perhaps be able to smoke a good cigar once or twice year. Write this down where you’ll fall over it every day: The time to draw business is when you want business,anil not when you have more business than you can attend to already.” 'Death should come gently to one of gentli mold like thee, light winds wondering through grove: of gloom Detract the delicate blossoms from the trc< Close thy soft eyes calmly ai ‘ - * rill trust in Goa ai Special Notice.

According to previous arrangement with a party of friends from Macon Republican representative took the 10:30 train Tuesday for our neigh boring city Albany, where we spent few delightful hours with the mem bers of the Press and a few of tho kind citizens of the Artesian city. The Press was well represented and as the train halted into Smithville, a com mittee from Albany greeted us and badged us for tho excursion to tho Cresent city. As our train rolled in- the Artesian City with its precious cargo there was a committee to re ceive the editors and their ladies and place them in carriages, furnished by tho citizens,and drove them over their beautiful little city. Albany can boast six churches and six Artesian wells, and as many generous, M-hole sou led people as any city we know of. Afters delightful ride the visitors were received by a committee of ladies at the Artesian House who did their part well. When their guest were in troduced into the banquet hall Capt. Davis give them a speech of welcome and it was responded to by Mr. W. . Wadsworth of the association then the visitors had the pleasure of showing their appreciation of the royal dinner prepared for them for the occasion.

He was for a number of years a suf ferer of Bright’s kidney disease,which caused his death.

His remains were followed by host of relatives and friends; also Mechanics and Wide Awake Fire Companies. We extend to the bereav ed family our heart-felt sympathy.

The Republican Is confident that the happy pair is well mated, that theirs will be a life of joy and peace and anew extends its congratulations of the groom. A very pleasant reception was giv en the friends of Mr. J. P. Daven port and his wife on Monday night.
