The town council has gone to a great deal of trouble and considerable expense to procure shade trees for the town, and it is a shame to see how little their efforts are appreciated. In front of both of the colorced school houses the children use the newly set out trees as climbing posts, thereby tear ing them out of the ground. The town concil should have these brats ar rested and put into tbe guard house, and perhaps it would teach themr that they have no more right to de stroy the trees on the streets than they have to destroy the property of private individu al. The recent lot of trees put out have been carefully selected and set out by experienced hands who .are anxious that the trees shall live, as a good part of their pay depends on the trees living. The prospect is that the trees will live if they are not disturbed, and Manning will be the best shaded town is the State. BAll kinds of hats at your own prices, at .A. Johnson's.

The age of 30 is a hard corner for a wvo man to turn, and 351is still harder. She feels that she is fast leaving her youth be hina her. But there is no reason why a woman should be faded anda passe at 35, or even 45. The chief cause of the early fad. ing of American women is found in the fact that many of them suffer from some form of female weakness or disease which robs the face of its bloom, draws dark circles about the eyes, brings early wrinkles and sallow ness, and stamps the face and figure with signs of ill-health. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription will cure all these troubles; will bring back the lost bloom, and remove the pains and ailments which make women grow old before their time.
