MR. F. W. DICKSON.
No event happening in Manning
ever excited more profound sorrow
than the announcement of the death
of this gentleman, on Thursday morn
ing, the 20th inst. Mr- Dickson was
born near the village of Darli-gton, in
1859. Early in life he moved to Man
ning, making it his permanent home.
In 1884 be was elected a member of
the Town Council, which position h,
filled acceptably to the time of his
death, being re-elected in 1885 and
again in '86. Apparantly in the full
cnjoyment of perfect health, last Feb
ruarv he was suddenly prostrated with
a violent attack of pneumonia, which
soon developed into a rapid consunip
tion that terminated his life. fe bore
his sufferings calmly, with a spirit of
meek fortitude, and having given him
sel' tb the care of the Fatber in Heav
en, when the end came, surrounded by
sorrowing, weeping relatives and
friends, he died in the full assurance
of a blissful eternity.
Young in years, cultivated, affable
in manner and address, our friend
seemed happily fitted to enjoy .the
luxuries and pleasures of life, but just
at the time that hope was most buo
yant with the promise of a golden fu
ture, the frost came, he withered and
died-"A fresh cup of immortality
Flynn W. Dickson has gone
"To that land where the wings of
the soul are unfurled;
And now, like a star beyond ev-en
- ing's cold dew,
Looks radiently down on the tears
of the wvorld."
A large, sympathetic, serious con
gregation was present at the funeral
services Friday morni~ng. Rev. Mr.
Leard, the patriarchal pastor of the
31ethodist Church, preached the fu
neral' sermon. His theme was found
ed on the passage of scripture, "O(
that thev were wise, iist they under
stood this, that they would consider
their latter end!I" The occasion was
solemn and impressive-.the milnister
with locks hoary from agi, his f~eling,
earnest words urging his hearers to a
better iife, and the mute appeal of the
lieless friend and companion of the
greater part of the audience-more
than one eve was bede wed with the
silent tear, and many returned home
with lasing impressions for good.
Our merchants, with a praisewor
thy and tender respect for the deceas
ed, closed their houses of business and
attended the funeral
A TRIBUTE OF ESTEEM1.
At a meeting of the Town Council
this morning, the following preamble
and resolutions were adopted:
Whereas, since the last meeting,. of
council, Gjod, in His infnite wisdlom,
has seen it to remove by death, Flynui
W. Dickson, an Alderman and valued
citizen of our town:
And, whereas, we esteem it a priv
ilege and duty to e:~s and enter
upon record,. our deep sense of per
sonat grief at the dep)arture of our
late friend and brother-ollicer, and
our high regard for his conispicious
excellencies of character.
Now, lhe it resoived by Council as
sembled:
1st. That we recognize the fact
that, during the decedent's connection
with the present members of Council
he was faithful and conscientious in
the discharge of his duties and shirk
ed no responsibiities, and that Le
gave cheerfully of his time and
thought to the interests of our town.
2nd. That we shall greatly mtise
his wise counsel and gecnial prsec
which gave both prti and pht-asur<
to our meetings; and that while oun
Board has lost a fai:hful and etilieni
offcer, the community has lost a val
ued citizen.
3r'd. That while we recognize th<
hand of an all-wise Providence. aun
do condole with the family of our d
ceased member and friend, in this
hour of bereavement, vet, in our sor

The pulpit of the Presbyterian
Church was filled last Sunday by Rev.1
J. Mf. Plowden.. of this county, who re
ently graduated at the Columbia
Seminary. The gentleman is a chaste,
duent speaker, with a style strongly
smacking of the true orator. His fu
ture p'romlises a career of honorable
usefulness.
Cr-op reports from different sec
ions of the courayV since the lat2 rr~infs
are flattering. Corn and cotton are
both reported up, well worked and
growing nicely. With a continuation
of the present f->vorable season, a
plentiful harvest may reasonably be
expected. The oat crop will also
yela great deal more than the out
look at one time promised.
We learn from our correspondent,
"Tomn," that Capt. D. W. Brailsford

Picnic Last Saturday.
M . Enrron: On last Saturday
norning .a gay and sprightly crowd of
young folks assembled at Mr. David
Levi's to enjoy the pleasure that can
be derived from a picnic where the
assemblage and the place are happily
chosen. Last Saturday's picnic most
fortunately possessed these requisites:
The assemblage was compose' of
the I/*/ and ligh of the surrounding
ountry. They met to spend a day
f unalloyed pleasure, and as far as
y observation went, none seemed to
1ave been disappointed.
'he place-the resi9 nce lately occu
~id br Dr. Caldwell, but now occu
ed byv Mr. David Levi-was every
hing that could be desired. The en
tire house was placed at the disposal
f the pienicers, and dancing was the
rder of the day.
Everybody present joined in the
:ance, excepting two or three gentle
n, who plead the plausible excuse
for not indulging-heaviness of the
cet. and stiffness of the joints.
Durinig the latter part of the day a
erman, under the admirable leader
ship of Mr.Blonham, was inaugurated.
Cake and lemonade was served be
ween dances, and about six7 o'clock
inner, composed of the usual picnic
(lit, was served under the shade of
the fine old oaks that stand, in front of
the house. The pleasure of the day
as enhanced by the pjresenlce of Miss
Durham, of Greenville, who is visiting
her sister, Mrs. E. A. Tindal, of Sum
merton. Shortly after the throng of
merry pi'nileers started1 on their home
ward'journey a heavy rain began fall
ing, which I am afraid somewhat
langn~e'd the recollections of the
pleasures of the day for many. So
aras my experience teaches, picnics,
as a general rule, are extremely dull
and stupid, but I must admit that on
this occasion I had a huge time, and
in this respect I have no doubt, but
what was my experience, wa the ex
perience of all present.

CAIN BRANcH, May 20, 1886.
M. EDron: It seems as if all your
correspondents of our town hav' de
serted you-where the blame lies, I
can't tell. If you will allow a novice
a small space, I will from time to time
give you the floating news of this
place and surrounding country. Our
village is still moving upwards-new
buildings are continually going up,
and noticeable among us, is a general
air of improvement and progress.
The farmers near here have beam
ing faces over their promising crops.
Their number has been added to by
the addition of several farmers from a
distance. These are practical, indus
trious men, who understand their
business and are bound to succeed.
This village is surrounded by fertile
lands, and what we need is more such
men as those farmers from Marlboro.
The oat crop is good, but has been
somewhat damaged by the recent
drought.
Corn and cotton are doing well.
Being peculiarly adapted to endure
either droughts or rains, there is no
better farming section in the country
than arondd here. CAuN BiAsca.
