The fine two-story dwelling belonging to Mrs. Rosa Weinberg and occupied by Bos ion Parker, colored, near St. Paul, was de stroyed by fire last Thursday about mid The fire was entirely accidental. The bmiding is valued at about $1.500 and was Insured for $7.50. We believe that Manning can boast of being free from the obnoxious blind tiger, and the good result of it was seen the past week by the few drunken persons on our streets. In fact a drn 'ken man on the streets nowadays is such an unusual sight that it causes remarks when an unfortunate creature is seen under the staggering influ pace of Johnnie Barleycorn. Our "Last Love" and "Mammoth" are the finest 5. cigars on the market. R. B. taryea, the druggist. If you fail to receive the Times you need not cuss out your postmaster, for the cause is you have not paid for it, and the editor of the Times is not able to send out his pa per without compensation. Those wishing to read newspapers without paying for them will have to get them from those more able to furnish them than we are. We re to have to cut off a name from our 1sts, but are forced to do so, and we hope that every one that we have been forced to put oft will come up and settle up their dues and give us a renewal of their patron age, Onion sets and garden seed for sale by . B Loryea, the druggist. Our town was wrapped in snow last Monday, and our boys took advantage of the opportunity to give the men a good snow-balling. All day lorig snow-ball Ights were going on in different parts of the town, and -it mattered not whether It ssa prea~cher, editor, lawyer, doctor, mer ebant, or anybody else, old or young, they * ad to take.what the boys would give them. We li{s t see people enjoy themselves, butlitis carrying fun too far to pound a snan with snow against his protests, as was -d..one'with good old Dr. Ensterling. Some: gif the rude fellows actually pounded .the Doctor even after he threatened to put his stick on them. They should not have done so. However, it was Christmas-time, and the boys were only having a little fun. Window Glass, all sizes at R. B. Loryea, the druggist. The usual annual family reunion took ~aeat the residence of Rev. Henry M. od(parsonage), Wednesday, 26th Dec. The following were present: Dr. Julius A. Mood, wife and children; Dr. B. M'.. Badger, wrife and children; Mr. C. E. Stubbs, wife and children; Mr. I. C. Ingram, wife and children; Mrs. C. Amelia Wilbur and granddaughter; and Mr. James Clark, brother of Mrs. Mood, numbering thirty persons. The company arrived at 9 o'clock and remained until 4 o'clock. Dinner was served-at 1 o'clock, and the occasion wound up with religious services by the patriarch of the family. The 23rd Psalm was read, and a prayer of thanksgiving, followed by farewell hymns. The day was cloudy but pleaant, and the occasion greatly enjoyed. A January thaw is always mare product lye of colds and coughs- than a January freeze. Then is the time Ayer's Cherry Pectoral is needed and proves so extremely efliicacious. - Ask your druggist for it. and also for Ayer's almanac, which is free to all. The Doll Contest. Some time ago the Times announced that the big doll at Rigby's store would be given to the little girl that came nearest guessing Mr. Rigby's age. By some means the impression got abroad that the guess ing business was all a joke, and it kept a good many from entering the contest. However, a number of little girls knew whenever they read anything in the Times they knew it meant business and that it was so, 'They handed in their guesses aspd on Christmas eve in the presence of a naber of gentlemen the -envelopes con taIning the slips of paper with the guesses written upon them were opened and Mat tie Appelt has the proud distinction of car rying of'' the prize.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED by local applications, as they cannot reach thes diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way go cure deafness, and that is' biy constitutional remedies. Deafness is esed by an inflamed condition of the mu ouns lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rum bling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflamation can be taken out and this tube restored to its nor mal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by estarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed csondition of the mucous surfaces. We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (caused by oatarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure, ,Send for circulars, free. F. J.

An appropriation from the public fund will be oro rated giving free tuition to those enti Prize Drill. On Christmas night the Manning Guards gave their first prize drill. The company with twenty-two men and two commissioned officers marched from their armory to the Collegiate Institute hall where a large audience greeted them. The Guards were drawn -up in line in front of the audience, and Major A. Le vi and Cadet Lieut. C. V. Harvin acted as judges. Capt. Davis put the boys through the manual of arms, and on the first round Bradham, Ervin, Mc Leod, Ridgill, Hodge, Chewning, Ma honey, and Jones, were retired on ac count of errors. On the second round Windham, Rawlinson, aind Joe Lewis fell by the wayside. The audience had by this time become interested, and everybody was on tiptoe of anxi ety to know who would be next, as it was evident that those remaining would make the struggle to hold on. Captain Davis cautioned the boys against catch-commands and then continued with the third round. When it was finished Smith, John son, Jayroe, and W. Tisdale were dropped. Again it was evident that the contest was narrowing down to the best drilled mew, and on the fourth round Graham was stood aside. On the fifth round W. Davis went to console with those that pre ceeded him. June went down on the sixth round, followed by Tommy Tis dale on the seventh. This left but three men in ranks, and after a fierce contest, all handling their guns with clockwork precision, a misunderstood command brought Willie Young to break his promise to win the prize. Sergeants Lewis and Kelly had it to themselves on the ninth and last round. While these boys were responding to the commands which were given, rapidly whispered bets could be heard in dif ferent parts of tne hall. Some were betting on Kelly and others were staking on Lewis. Finally Lewis's gun slipped out of his hand, and Kel ly was declared the winner amid great applause. At the conclusion of the contest, Capt. Davis, after thank ing the audience for their presence, introduced Hon. Joseph F. Rhame to present the prize. Mr. Rhame, in presenting the prize, referred to the history of the old Manning Guards and paid a handsome tribute to the valor of the members of that organi zation. He complimented the boys upon the progress they' had made and cautioned Mr. Kelly to look well to his laurels or his comrades would win back the beautiful medal lie had just won. The prize is a handsome gold star nd is-to be contested for every three months by the members of the com pany, and if the boys stand .by the resolutions made on Christmas night, Kelly will have to keep on practicing r some other fellow will wear the medal. Those that attended were highly pleased, many of them never having seen a prize drill before, and when it is announced that another will be had, we venture to say that a still larger crowd will witness it.

OFFICE COUNTY AUDITOR, CLARENDON COUNTY, Manning, S. C., Dec., 5 1894. The Auditor's offlee will be open from the second day January, 1895, to the twenth day of February, 1895, to receive returns of real and per onal property for taxation in Clar endon county for the year 1895, and for the convenience of tax-payers will have deputies at each of the laces named below to receive re urns for the said year: Pinewood, Monday, January '7th, 895. Packsville, Tuesday, January 8th, 895.. Panola, Wednesday, January 9th, 895. David Levis Store, Thursday ,Jan ary 10th, 1895.

A good way for the taxpayer, who as much property to return, is to nake a numeration of the number of orses, cattle,mules, sheep and goats, ogs, watches, organs and pianos, uggies, wagons and carriages, dogs, nerchandise, machinery, moneys, iotes and accounts, (above indebted ess) furniture, &c., which will save he taxpayer time, and enable the ssessor to progress in the work. Taxpayers return what they own on the first day of January, 1895 All personal. property, must be eturned th-'s year. Assessors and taxpayers will enter the first given name of the taxpayer n full, also make a seperate return ror each party for the township the roperty is in, and where the tax ayer owns realty, to insert the past office as their place of residence, and hose who only own personal prop erity, to give the party's name wh~o wns the land they live on as their esidence, which aids the taxpayer s well as the county treasurer in naking the collections and prevent tng errors. Every male citizen between the ges of twenty-one and fifty years n the first day of January, 1895, ex ept those incapable of earning a support from being muamied, or from ther causes, shall be deemed tax able polls. All the returns that are made after the twentieth day of February will ave a penalty of 50 per cent, added hereto, unless prevented by sickness r out of the county during the time f isting. Not knowing the time of isting is no excuse. And all owners f real estate, might do their tenants, who cannot read, or take a news :'per, a great favor by making their returns or telling them the time of listing, and that if they fail to make their returns in time that the valua tion has to be increased 50 per cent. unless they have a good excuse. The assessing and collecting of taxes is all done nowv in the same year, and we have to aggregate the number and value of all the horses, attle, mules, &c., as well as the acres of land, lots, and buildings, and their value, that there is in the county, and have same on tila in the Comp troller General's office by the thir tieth day of June each year. And from that time to the first day of Oc tober each year the auditor's and treasurer's duplicate has to be comn pleted and an abstract of the work in the Comptroller's office by Ithat time, which will show at a glance that the auditor has no time to take in returns or do anything else much, between the first day of March and the first day of October each year, but. work on the books and blanks. Therefore I hope that all taxpayers will do us the favor of* making their returns in time. J. ELBERT DAVIS, Audito C+ l %andAon Co'nty.~ HARDWARE! mm.W. NFR NT & ON, SUMTER, S. C.
