Mr. Jake Prodovsky has an advertisement in the MANNING Thas, and his business has grown to such proportions that he has found his old stand, the iron store, too small for his large stock and in creasing patronage.

Mr. Mouzon took in the situation at a glance and saw that it was useless to rushrupon the man in his frenzied condition, so he summoned help as soon as he could. In the mean time Policeman R. H. Davis arrived and rushed into the house, and dragged from it a burning bed that had caught on fire from Mr. Butler's pistol. As soon as lhe put the fire out he took charge of Mr. Butler and placed him in the guard house where he re mained until night when after sobering up he was allowed to go home nipon payment of a forfeit of ten dollars, CONFIRMED.
