I invite a careful inspection of mygoods, but please remember that it is impossible in so large an estab lishinent to exliibit everythinig to public view: so ask for what Ton want. and ilV salesien will take great pleasure in showing the goods.

Wil liam Barrow and Thomas E. Shannon. Late that evening,-about dark, or just after dark,-these gentlemen, when en-route home, and about six miles from Manning got into a diffi culty in which the former was * shot and instantly killed by the latter. Mr. Shannon after 'going home re turned to Manning that night, and early Thursday morning surrendered himself to the Sheril, voluntary. claiming that the shooting was done in self-defence. FiisTIvu..-At Lanes', on the 10th inst., an ice cream festival will be giv en for the purpose of raising funds to build a Baptist Church. Besides the delicious cream, cakes and substan tials in abundance, will be served by! charming young ladies. TiE Pic-xrc.-We regret that we, were unable to attend the picnic on last Friday, which was gotten up by Misses. Ingram and Ewell for the ben efit of their scholars. A friend in speaking of it says : "We went to the picnie, which was held at Capt. John .. Harvin's, enjoyed ourselves until dinner, did full justice to that, en 'joyed ourselves some more, and then cane home, having spent a delight ful day." PuVxrrs.-This is a good time to prune small shade trees and fruit trees. Do the work now with a sharp knife, or other sharp instrument, while the limbs are small anl the trees are rowing, and the places from which he limbs are cut will heal over before rall and leave no scars. Leaving imbs or trees until they get so larger ~hat they have to be removed with ~he saw or hatchet, creates in their 'emoval, scars, and scars from which ~he trees do not generally recover. A ~ree diseased from this cause is also nch more liable to be attacked by1 ~vorms and borers. EMovED. Our Sheriff, under reliable and au horitative information that the friends f Mr. Win. Barrow; the mention of hose death is made in this issueI could visit the jail on Sunday night nd take therefrom Mr. Thomas Shan on, after consulting his attorney, d e ~ided to remove Mr. Shannon to the il of a neighboring county. Thie~ sheriff's action was entirely proper, *or had lie not done this, and a raid1 ad been made, he would have pro ected Mr. Shannon at perhaps the ~ost of life, and the course adoptedI as the most prudent. We hope that e information was based only on. ild rumor. (as we believe it wasi fir Ii ur Salem friends are, we have every , eason to believe, too law abiding to V tipt anythibg of this kiud. Mob: w can no longer be practiced with I punity in this State, and there is: ever any justification for it. Justice so fairly and impartially administer-: that the law ought to be, and must] e allowed to take its course.

To the Ediior of' the Timtes: Alow us through the medium of your paper to express our hearty appreciation of the interest manifested in behalf of the clerks of 'Manning, by the fair writer, "a lady," in last week's En!er orise.

The lisinterestedness of the motive touch s us deeply, and if the sweet mad moiselle would but make the oppor unity by offering herself for a prom nade "in the moonbeams' misty ght," we would either individually r in a body, according to her pleas re, doffing hats and on bended knee, eclare in impassioned language, fit ly for the ear of so gentle a cham ion, the emotions of gratitude swell ag our hearts.
