Kalisky offers his elegant assortment of straw hats and summer clothing at re duced prices, in order to make room for an other supply that he has just ordered. - Our postmaster is generally accom modating, but accasionally his acts, to put it mildly, are unsatisfactory. 'The mails are sometimes closed before the advertised time, to the inconvenience .of the patrons of the office. The of fice itself is sometimes closed before the regular time. A postmaster should contain a large amount of ac .commodativenless in his make up; .ever close the office or mails a min ute too soon; but if he can keep it open a few minutes longer than usual it will show a spirit the people will appreciate.

Do your eyes need help ? If so call on J. G. Dinkins & Co.and be fitted with a pair of Aqua-Crystal spectacles or eye glasses. Last Saturday Rev. W. E. Barre's family had the misfortune to lose a~ week's wear of soiled clothes by an accidental spark of fire getting among them.

No.1 smoked bacon, 151 lbs for$1.00. 26 lbs Enest family sour for $1.00, at 31. Kalisky's. A composing room is no place for loafing, and a notice conspicuously placed at the entrance to ours ought to be, in ordinary cases, sufficient to1 keep loafers out that room, but we are~ sorry to say it is not. Now, we mean1 business, and we wish it distinctly1 understood that our composing room~ is no place for loafing. Everything i that room is strictly private, from the tim thefirst line of type is set up till the last proof is read. The latch string of the editorial room is always on the outside, but we must insist on loafers keeping out our composing room. Struck by Lightning. Last Thursday afternoon the resi dence of Mr. N. M. Johnson, of this place, was struck by lightning, the electric bolt passing through the roof and down the south wall of the house into the ground. Mrs. Strother, who' was sittin.t in the room that was' struck, received a shock that stunned her for a short time, but was not in-' jured. The house was not set on fire, though for a short time smoke bulged through the hole made in the roof by the lightning, and was injured only to the extent of having some of its shingles Bnd weather-boarding knock ed off and plastering shattered. On the same day Miss Sue Wells while at work on her sewing machine was very much frightened by three large balls of electrical fire playing around the top of the machine. For tunately no damage was done, and she wisely concluded to "wait till the clouds rolled by" before continuing her work. Manniag seems for a number of years to have been under an extraordinary electrical influence. Only two weeks ago a stable in this place was struck and set on fire. A gentleman tells us that one night in the saummer of 1861 during a heavy rain and thunder storm, a barn on the Wolf lot in this place was struck, set on fire, and burned, and that during the same storm twenty-one trees within a half mile of the court~ house were struck. Two inquests in One Week. Last Friday Coroner Rowe held an inquest over the body of June Brown, a colored man, who died suddenly on the plantation of Mr. J. M. Richard son, near Panola. It appears from the testimony that the deaeased had given Mr. Richardson some imperti nence and continued doing so after Mr. Richardson had several times or dered him to stop, whereupon Mr. Richardson struck him two or three times with his fist, and also kicked him, but did not knock him down. Not long afterwards the negro took sick. A physician was sent for by Mr. Richardson, and all the attention pos sible was given the man, but he died the next day. Dr. A. J. Briggs was the attending physician, and on oath said the de ceased had been in poor health, suf fering with dysenterv. The deceased had used considerable sumach, a pow erful astringent, which produced con stipation, and he was in this condition for six days, which produced con estin of the hxiwels:. liver, and kid neys. After a thorough examination he failed to find any bruise or sign of violence, and the deceased had made no allusion to any altercation with Mr. Richardson. He was conscious to the last, and did not complain of any hurt or soreness, and in his opin ,ion a blow or kick could not have pro duced congestion without swelling. The jury rendered a verdict that the deceased June Brown came to his death from natural causes: congestion of the stomach, liver, and kidneys. Saturday night Polly Weiters, a colored woman about 60 years of age, dropped dead in the store of Mr. W. G. Frierson on Wyboo. A jury of inquest rendered their verdict, that she died of heart disease. Read This Offer. Having become convinced from ob servation that there are many persons in the county who are not now taking the MArNNso TmEs simply be cause they are unacquainted with its many merits, and that if they once contracted the habit of looking for ward to their county paper every week, they would not be able to do without it, we have determined to send out the paper on a "trial trip" at special rates. To all subscribers not now oh our list who will pay us the sum of FIFTY CENTS in advance, we will send the MANxING Tn.Es from the date of said payment until Nov. 15, 1890. As the regular price of the paper is $1.50 per annum, it will be seen that this offer, now made solely for the purpose above mentioned, is indeed a generous one. The date of expiration, Nov. 15th, is named in order that these special subscribers, should they decide to discontinue at this time, will be able to obtain any way the full election news, for it must not be forgotten that 1890 will doubt less prove, for reasons too numerous to enumerate at this time, one of the most important election years which has been known in South Carolina since the war. Three Incidents in Manning's Social His tory. A young lady, not ten thousand miles distant from the Tr;;s office, one night last week concluded to have some fun, so rig ging herself up in a man's suit she knocked at the door of a very near neighbor. The young lady of the house answered the sum - mons, and upon asking the alleged gentle man what he wanted, was frightened at his reply, and rushed back to her mother. The mother then went to the door, and upon asking the stranger what he wanted was; told in abrupt language, "That's my busi ness." The lady reported to her son, who was in an adjoining room, what had been said to her. The son hastily got his pistol and started for the door, but the young lady, herself now frightened, hastened to explain and to reveal her idcntity. All enjoyed the joke hugely except the young lady who first answered the rap at the door: she couldn't see the point in thus being scared. Miss X, a young lady about fifteen, spent the night last Thursday with another young lady, Miss Y, about the same age. The last mentioned young lady has a brother a year, or two younger than she is. The evenmng was spent in telling stories, principally ghost tales, and it was near midnight when they retired. Just about grey dawn, the visiting young lady awoke, and imagining she saw a ghost in the form of a man, she jumped out of bed, and rushed into the, ad joining room where the lady of the house was sleeping. Her 'cries, "There's a man in the room," aroused the occupants of both rooms, and the other young lady, Miss Y, made haste likewise to leave her room. Upon entering the next room she naturally caught hold of Miss X, who, imagining that the man had seized her, threw up her hands, exclaiming, "0 Lawdy! he's got me! 0 Law-' dy! he's got me!" Tne lady of the house, by this time herself thoroughly frightened, caught her daughter, Miss Y, who in turn thinking the man had her, began yellhng at the top of her voice, "He's got me, to! He's got me, too !" The whole house was alarmed by this time, and Miss Y's uncle rushed in the room to see what the matter was. Dili gent search failed to reveal anything wrong, and the two young ladies found out that they were mistaken in a man's having them. But the most amusing part of the occurrence was, after things had quieted down, the reappearance of Miss Y's younger brother, who sleeps in his mother's room. At the first outcry he crawled between the feather bed and mattress, where he remain ed till all the racket was over. When he stuck his head from under the bed, after all the fuss was over, every one greeted his comical appearance with a hearty laugh. Sometime ago a minister called on a faini ly. The lady of the house told her little daughter to tell her grandmother that the minister was in the parlor. The little girl presently returned, and in reply to the question, "Did you tell your grandma ?" in nocently replied: "Yes; and she says she do't care if he is." Summerton News. SuamzrroN, June 23.-It has been a tight fight between. the farmers and the grass, but I think they have the' Tillman grip on the grass now, and will be able to hold it until the crops are large enough to shade it under. There will be a match game of ball between the Foreston and Summer ton clubs here on Friday afternoon. the 27th. The ladies of the Metho dist church will have an ice cream fes tival the same evening at the Acade ny, near tbe park. We expect to see some fine playing, as Foreston has a fine team, and our boys don't intend to be whipped. Mr. R~. H. Belser had a ripe melon. on last Thursday. Who can beat it ? Mr. John Watt had cotton blooms in his field on the 8th of June, and says he has boils about half grown now. Dr. J. R1. Henderson has so' much improved that he has taken a trip off for a few weeks for his health. Mr. Sam Sparks has commenced building a dwelling for the 1Rev. H. M. Mood in the village. Mr. H. T. Avant is making decided impoveent onhis store, and ex pecs t b redyfor a large business in the fall. Messrs. Lanhama & Brock are over hauling their store, and will put in at new front. Mr. George White is clearing off his lot, and will commence building a store on it in a shor't time. While it is very -dull around here now, our' merchants expect a big trade this fall. Mr. J. C. Lanham returned home on last Saturday, after spending a couple of wpeks with relatives in Spar News from Jordan. JORDAN, June 24.-An excursion train was run on this road this morn ing which made connection with the Columbia train at Wilsons, giving all parties an opportunity to bear Sena tor Hampton speak. A large crowd went, and a grand time is anticipated. The closing exercises of the Jordan school took place last Thursday night and was attended by a large crowd. A copy of the following was handed Miss Josie McLean, by Mr. J. A. Sprott, for the patrons: "We, the patrons of the Jordan school, feeling sincerely grateful to the teacher, Miss Josie McLean, for her untiring labors rendered therein, would respectfully tender her our kindest regards for said labors: and it is with feelings of deep regret that we are compelled to accept her resignation." Miss Mtc Lean is an accomplished teacher and is loved by the whole school. She, accompanied by her sister Miss Jessie, will leave for their home in North Carolina Thursday morning. - For the past month the Juneville and T'oreston base ball clubs have been trying to get up a game, but it seems that a convenient time can't be named: when one is ready the other is not. But the "June Bugs" as "F" calls us, are ever ready now, and it is hoped that the Foreston boys may dance up and reap the benefits of all their big bragging at an early day. Dr. H. L. Wilson is spending some time at his home at Mars Bluff. May the Doctor's trip be beneficial to his health. We hope soon to see him re turn to help us fight for the good cause. C. Miss McLean's School. JoRDan, June 24.-Rains have in jured the crops in our section to some extent. Crops are small and grassy, you may say generally so; in some places bad stands. We do not con sider any crops we have seen, as com pared with last year, good, with the exception of one or two corn fields; cotton is not. The closing exercises of the Jordan school, held on the evening of the 19th, was an enjoyable time;,indeed the entire programme was carried out without a single mishap. The pupils showed that their training had been well done. In an article like this it would be invidious in us to at tempt to individualize, where all did so well. The only sorrowful part was the parting hand by teacher and pa trons and pupils; some shed tears. Miss Josie McLean, during the two years in which she has presided over our school has endeared herself to us. We feel and know that our children have learned from her lessons of which death alone can rob them; les sons that have made them better boys and girls; will make them bet ter, nobler, Christian men and women; they are better prepared for life's du ties by having been under her patient Christian training and the inspiration of her example; but as all temporal things must have an end so we must yield n our dear friend and teacher to other duties. We have the hope that we will have her yet as a neigh bor. We all pray for Heaven's rich est blessings to be showered down on Miss Josie McLean through life, and at its end a home in Heaven; and what we have said of Miss Josie we say of Miss Susie Lesesne, her assistant. We had hoped that Miss Susie would take charge of the school when Miss Josie retired, but we learn with re gret thait her health will not permit her to do so. May both our teachers live long and happy. The trustees announced that the school would be reopened on the first Monday in September. We do not know whom they have secured as teacher. ONE OF THE PATRONs. Jordan School Exhibition. EDITOR THF. MANNING TIMF?.-LaSt Thursday night we had the pleasure of attending the closing exercises of the Jordan Academy. Such occasions as this (especially so with country schools) deserve only passing notice, but this deserves more. The program, which consisted of dialogues, recita tions, songs, etc., was already under way when we arrived, but we saw and heard enough to convince us that the Jordan people have a good school, with faithful and energetic teachers. The children all did remarkably well, and exhibited careful and sys tematic training on the part of their instructors. One of the features of the entertainment was a competatory declamation, three boys contesting for the prize: Masters Connor Wells, Joe Davis, and Fred Lesesne. While the speeches of all were good, the committee were unan imous in deciding that little Connor Wells deserved the prize, which was presented to him later on by Mr. J. M. Knight in a happy little speech. The cantata was very fine, and al though somewhat lengthy, was, we think, hugely enjoyed by all the audi ence. The principal had offered three pr-izes: for declainming, mathematics, and punctuality. The prize for math ematies wvas awarded to Fred Lesesne, the prize for declaiming to Connor Wells (as. spoken of above), and the one for punctuality to little May Le sesne. All the prizes were presented by Mr. Knight. who, in his remarks, spoke of the verv fine record made by the prize-winners in mathematics and punctuality, as Fred's paper had but one mistake, and May had been absent only one day in ten months and never tardy. Miss McLean has, much to the re gret of both patrons and pupils, re signed the principalship of the Acad emy, but it is rumored that she has decided to dwell among us. Nox. Jordan, June 23.

Cotton hat commenced blooming and is doing fine. Our neighborhood is bound on electing B. R. Tillman for governor. Old brother John Baker, of Douglas, diet suddenly on the night of the 18th. He ani his wife were visiting at a neighbor's, spend ing the night During the night his wif< was aroused by his making some unusua noise. She at once got up to strike a light but he died before she got back to the bed He probably died of heart disease. He war a popular man, and leaves a large circle o: friends. Mr. W. David Gamble, of this section, and Miss Maggie Hawkins. of Lynchburg were married last Wednesday. The health of this community is good. Your correspondent took a trip to Sanda Grove some time ago, and found crops look ing fine. Some were laying by their cotton but it looks to me as if a~ honey bee would have to lie on its back to suck the blooms o the cotton. From the looks of the crops or the hills of Pudding Swamp I.think that thi finny tribe had better look out for thet selves. Salem's county commissioner is up witl his crop and' ahead, for he is waiting fo: rain to stick four acres of slips. If he car do that much with one arm what would hi do if he had two arms? There is a man it Salem that has loet his potato crop on ac count of the rabbits. I ami sorry to see so much grass in thi Fork. I never saw crops so grassy in ma life. What's the matter with the people ove there ? P. Y. What is Scrofula It is tnat impurity in the blood, which, accumu Rating in the glands of the neck, produces un sightly lumps or swellings; which causes painful running sores on the arms, legs, or feet; which developes ulcers in the eyes, ears, or nose, often causing blindnessor deafness; whichisthe origin of pimples, cancerous growths, or many other manifestations usually ascribed to "humors." It is a more formidable enemy than consumption or cancer alone, for scrofula combines the worst possibie features of both. Being the most ancient, it Is the most general of all diseases or affections, for very few persona are entirely free from It. How can it be cured ? By taking Hood's Sarsa. parilla, which, by the cures It has accomplished, often when other medicines have failed, has proven Itself tobe apotent and peculiar medicine for this disease. For anl affections of the blood Hood's SarsaparDllaisunequalled,andsome of the curesithas effected are really wonderful. If you suffer from scrofula in any of its varIous forms, be sure to give Hood's Sarsaparilla a trial. Hood's Sarsaparilla Soldbyalldrugglsts. Jl; sixforgi. Preparedonly by C. I.
