TEACHERS SALARIES.
The County Teacher* Will B« 1’ahl Their
Money When Due.
County .School Commissioner Moore
was busy yesterday getting his account
with the county school teachers in
proper shape and tilling out checks for
the amount due each one. The task was
a long and tedious one, but has been
successfully .accomplished.
The sura total to be distributed among
the teachers is nearly $ 10,000, and Tax
Collector Dunn has already deposited
the money in the Bank of Sumter where
it awaits their call for it on the 15 th
inst.
No county in the state has a more
faithful or pains-taking corps of teach
ers than Sumter, and the amount to b ©
distributed among them as yearly salar
ies will bring happiness to many hearts.
Commissioner Moore will give each
teacher a check between this time and
the 15tli, and on and after that date the
money will be paid to them.
A CHILD KNJOYS.
The pleasant flavor, gentle action and
soothing efleet of Syrup of Figs, when
in need of a laxative, and if the father
or mother be costive or bilious, the
most gratifying results fellow its use; so
that it is the best family remedy known
and every family should have a bottle.
Marring? ut Plain
At the home of Mr. Amos Lassiter
near Plains on Thanksgiving day, a hap
py event transpired which bound two
lives together in sharing the joys and
sorrows with which their pathway may
he interspersed. The contracting par
ties were Mr. Joseph J. Dozier and Miss
Lizzie Jackson. Mr. Dozier is a young
man of sterling qualities and of high 1
moral character. The bride is the grand
daughter of Mr. Lassiter, holding a
high place in the esteem of all her ac
quaintances, won by the many virtues
she possesses, Tiie many friends of
this happy pair wish for them a contin
uation of blessings from the lavish hand
of the beneficient Giver of all good,
making their lives one of thanksgiving
and of usefulness.
The Citu*e of Itlieuinatinii.
An acid which exists in sour milk and
cider called lactic acid, is believed by
physicians to be the cause of rheuma
tism. Accumulating in the blood, it at
tacks the fibrous tissues in the joints,
and causes agonizing pains. What is
needed is a remedy to neutralize the
acid, and to so invigorate the kidneys
and liver that all waste will be carried
off. Hood’s Sarsaparilla is heartily rec
ommended by many whom it has cured
of rheumatism. It possesses just the
desired qualities, and so thoroughly
purifies the blood as to prevent occur
rence of rheumatic attacks. Wo sug
gest a trial of Hood’s Sarsaparilla by all
who sull'er from rheumatism.
Seed Barley can be found at Dr. El-
dridge’s Drug Store.
An Ohl Story Revived
The 61d story of little Jack Ilorner
eating bis Christmas pie will have a
counterpart in Americas; for a lady
yesterday made preparations to fix up a
pie and a birthday dinner for her boy in
the following manner: She selected
some of the lincst mince meat, raisins,
citron, currants, spices and flavoring ex
tracts all for a fruit cake: thru for a pie
she got lovely evaporated apples, apri
cots, peaches ami French prunes: for the
pie crust she got some of the finest of ;
flour and the w hitest of lard to shorten j
it. Then as an accompaniment she got |
olio of those “Kingau” hams, and a lot
of fancy crackers, nuts, fruits, etc., fora
round off. The lucky boy’s name can’t
be given just yet; but the secret of
where the lady made her purchases did
get out, the low prices so astonishing
her that she couldn’t keep it, and so all
her neighbors learnt that Gus Harris
was the artist that put the works on the
new little Jack Horner’s Christmas pie.
It is now generally known to the public
and the rush for more of Harris’ fancy
low-priced goods will continue until ex
hausted. He has the inside on the
snap, and is giving it away only to his
customers. decO-tf.
AFTER THE COUNTY TAXES.
Few People ere Paying awl the Time 1 *
(irowins Short.
There remains just fourteen week®
days in which tax payers can settle their
State and county taxes, after which the
books will close and all payments will
be attended with additional cost to the
tardy tax-payer.
Collector Dunn lias waited upon a
large number of citizens within the past
two or three weeks, but as a rule the
amounts paid by each were small and
the receipts swelled the grand total but
little. Few of the heavier tax-payers
have yet settled, but all must do so
shortly.
The books will close on Wednesday,
20th instant, and the usual penalty will
! attach to all who do not pay before that
ti n«.
With many it is as easy to pay one
time as another, and why such a nurnbet
of people will put off this important
duty to the last day is a mystery pas
finding out. Collector Dunn will bo
very busy during the last few days in
which the books will remain open, and
would be glad to have all come forward
now and settle who can do so conven
iently.
Just received by express, a handsome
line of ladies’ leather pocket books and
card cases mounted in sterling silver,
and have marked them down at panic
prices—$2 to $5. Will make such nice
and useful Christmas present for mother,
sister or some one else’s sister. Ameri-

The Hill !*»•**«• tiie Hon*?.
Mr. Stapleton’s bill favoring the elec
tion of the board of education of Ameri

House without opposition and is now-
before the Senate. As before stated by
