There was considerable drunkeness on Christmas Day, as usual There were no arrest for drunkenness and disorderly conduct on Christmas day. The bunters and fishermen were fairly successful on Christmas Day, and had lots besides. A crowd of young folks enjoyed themselves and enlivened their friends Christmas evening by going on a masquerade.

The small boy was in bis glory on Christ? mas riding lieu mules and leaner horses around. The next day most of them sorely repeoted. One of the largest dealers in Christmas goods in this city, says that bis cash trade was fully equal to any previous year. He be? lieves there is both money and life in the old land yet. The dispensary has not yet opened business in Mayesville, although the dispenser was appointed about month ago.

The delay, we are informed is due to the inability of the dis? penser to make a satisfactory bond. Mr. W. M. De Lo raie was accidentally shot by a bird hunter, while out riding near Shot Pouch branch on Christmas day.

One shot struck bim just below one eve, and had to be cut out by bis physician. The result was not serious, but be narrowly escaped losing the sight of one eye. While the matter of selecting or retaining clerks at the post office is left entirely with the new Postmaster, we cannot but suggest that and satisfactory manner in which Mr. B. R.

Sanders has filled his posi- tion, will make him an acceptable appoint- ment under the new administration. i Married. On December 20, by Rev. E. D.

I. Bazar. The Basar was held last week beginning Tuesday and closing Thursday night. The scarcity of money, and the conjuncture of the Christmas holiday? no doubt cut down the receipts from what they would have been under other circumstances. About $200 were cleared.

Among the articles refiled, one pair, vases, set of knives and forks, and a butter dish brought $10, one handsome cake brought $10, and a beautiful combina- i tion flower stand and card receiver was voted to Miss Sanders, as the most popular; young lady, at a cost of over $100. Wednesday evening the prize drill came off and men entered the contest. After drilling a short time twelve were thrown out and finally the number in ranks was reduced to four Privates, B.

Three military com- panies from abroad were represented-the i Darlington Guards coming over in force, This company under command of Capt. Thompson, arrived on the evening train and were met at the depot by a detatcbment of the Sumter Light Infantry accompanied by the 4th Reg t. Band.

The were marched to a store under the Armory, where they received a cordial welcome from Capt. A. C. Phelps, which was responded to by Capt. Thompson.

Lunch wag then served after which i they dispersed to prepare for the ball. That night an exhibition skirmish drill was given by a picked squad of eight Guards, which was very perfect. Dancing commenced about 10 o'clock and! lasted until 3. Visitors were present from Charleston, Columbia, Darlington, and other places. The German was led by Mr.

B. B. McCreery, of Colombia, with Miss Helen Rembert, of this County. The music was furnished by the Fourth Regiment Band Orchestra, and was compli men ted for its more than usual excellence. Y.

worth of cotton was destroyed. The furniture warehouse of Belitzer Spann caught afire on Christmas night about 8 30 o'clock, but tbe hinze was discoverd before much headway had been gained. Mr. C. T.

Mason, who was at the. Electric Light house, next door to the ware? house, turned on bis water supply and put out tbe fire before an alarm was given. Ou last Sunday morning a crowd of six bicyclists-Messrs. Louis Lyons, Irving Ryt- tan berg, Rosendorf, George Ricker and John T. Green, left here on the early I train for Carterville there they mounted their wheels and rode through to Darlington, i making a quick and pleasant trip.

The day was spent in Darlington, a part of the crowd 1 riding through to Florence that afternoon, and from there returnedl home by rail, while I the others returned by rail directly from Dar? lington. A party is beiug made up to make a trip to Darlington entirely by wheel. Dispensary Sales. Dispenser Epperson and assistants were kept busy all of last week, but on Saturday they were rushed up to the last minute and then the place was jammed with those who still wanted liquor. Dispenser Epperson says that a great deal of the liquor is pur chased by people from neighboring counties.

A great deal goes to Darlington and Claren don and Kershaw Counties; people even; come here from Marlboro, Williamsburg and Richland to get their dispensary jag. The week's record of sales is as follows: 18th $233.75, 19th $249.25, 20th 344.83, 21st $374.40. 22nd $570.40, 23d Iotal The Post Master. Capt P. P.

Gaillaid received a telegram on Thursday from Senator M. C. Butler inform ng him of his nomination, confirmation liy the Senate, as postmaster for Sumter, The for the pince has been close and the friends of the various candidates have urged their merits and claims with persistence, Capt. Gaillaid deserved and re? ceived dounlecongratulations from his friends The appointment is satisfactory to the com? munity, and even those who personally favored the candidacy of others are satis Sed that the post i ffice is in goods hands Capt. Gaillard will assume charge of the offire as soon as his nond can be approved.

Col. at.ding WHS not an applicant, either directly or indirectly, for the office, although many of his friends volunteered their recom? mendations to him. Mr. G. W.

Reardon who has had charge of the office for more than four years has been uniformly polite and accommodating to the patrons of the office. His successor will find it difficult to give us more satis? factory service, for Mr. Reardon and his assistants, Messers Sanders and E. I Reardon, left little to be desired. The Watchman and Southron will ever have an appreciative re? membrance of couttestes received at their hands, and we believe every business house sn the city can say the same.

In the way of a suggestion, however, we venture to express a wish that the office will be removed to a more suitable location. The patrons of the office, as a rule have never been satisfied with the present location and would Le glad to have it changed. Laying the Corner Stone. The corner stone of the New City Hall will be laid this afternoon by Claremont Lodge No 64 A F. M.

Arrangements bave been made to make the occasion both impressive and inter? esting. The oration hy Gen. John Kennedy will he delivered in the Opera House after the conclusion of the ceremonies at the building, on account of the greater comfort thus to be secuted to the audience. A large audience will undoubtedly be present during the entire ceremonies, for the peoplf of the city are thoroughly interested in the handsome City Hall now going up. The programme is as follows ii sice, by Band.

Ode, by Choir. Prayer, by Grand Chaplain. Deposit by Grand Treasurer, During Which Solemn Music, by the Band. Presentation of the Tools, by the Architect. Laying of the Corner Stone Implements Gireu to Architect.

Chief of Police A. H. Weeks, on yesterday, arrested Willie Singleton, a negro, who is wanted for incendiarism in Florence. He is charged with starting the fires tnat destroyed so mnch property in Jhat place several months ago. The chief has been on the look out for Singleton for two months, but did not suc? ceed in getting his hands on him until yes? terday Several weeks ago a negro named Bracy was arrested by mistake, but was re? leased in a day or two.

Singleton has been Committed to jail awaiting identification from Florence. He has confessed to stealing six? teen turkeys from Jacobi the hotel man, by whom he was employed while in Florence, but denies any knowledge of the fires Medals Awarded The World's Columbian Exposition has awarded 1st medals to three of Mr. Car darelli's inventions, viz: Fire Escape, Un? loading Machine, and Submerged Heater. The two first named were invented some time ago and descriptions of each have been pub? lished but the Submerged Heater is a new invention and one that is destined to revolu? tionize the heating of water. A water-tight metal box, containing a peculiarly constructed lamp, and provided with a tube or funnel at either end, for the purpose of creating a draft is submerged in bath or wash tub and will beat the same in a few moments at a cost of about one cent to 50 gallons.

By a slight change it can be used for cooking purposes. This will doubiles prove to be the most practi- cal of all Mr. Cardarelli's inventions and will be sold at a very moderate price. The road at Mile Branch is in a bad condi- lion and needs attention It would be a good idea for the city authorities to take it in hand and put it shape. Car load lot of fine milk cows and beef cat? tle, to arrive about the let.
