The past year ti( .has been in a great degree one of the wost Irei expensive the town -has ever had. When to: the present Council took charge they had bo very little money and a big debt to pay, besides the ditches and drains all needed work. Later storms did fearful damage to our beautiful shade trees. The Council has done well considering the obstacles.. They have administered the affairs of the Zi town economically and at the same timethey co have not left anything undone that could -be be done with the means at hand. B col hr During the winter of 1893, F. M. Martin,th of Long Reach, West Va., contracted a co, . severe cold which left him a cough. In a f speaking of how he cured it lhe says: " used several kinds of cough syrup butti found no relief until I bought a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. which re* lieved me almost instantly, and in a sbort time brought about a complete cure." When troubled with a cough or cold use this brn remedy and you will not find it necessary so: to try several kinds before you get relief. co: It has been in the market for over twenty cu: years and constantly grown in favor and an popularity.

The sentence -as suspended at the request of Tennant's ttorneys to aive him .n opportunity to iake a showing before the court, that the entence might be as light as possible. The tets in the case are: Teninant was discov red considerably short with his post office ffairs, and he was removed from office. As )on as the amount of the shortage could e ascertained his bondsmen made the mount good. The Government lost no;h ig and Mr. Tennant has been endeavor ig to reimburse his bondsmen. He ha ready paid in a portion of the money. hen Mr. Tennant came home a strongly orded paper was signed and quite a num er of letters were written in behalf of the fortunate man. Captain D. J. Bradham and Colonel B. ressley Barron, accompanied Mr. Tennant Charleston last Sunday night, and on onday they appeared before the judge d made a plea in Tennant's behalf. The sult was that Judge Simonton sentenced ennant to serve ten days in the Claren )n County jail. Under tbe law the judge ild have sent the utifortunate man to a deral prison for ten yearsbn. he took the rcumstances under consideration and eling convinced that Tennant did not in ntionally commit a crime ag.inst the overnment, and the pleading of Messrs. irron and Bradham, he simply carried it the law by making the sentence a mat r of form. We take the liberty of stat g that Colonel Barron was not interested the matter as an attorney, but like Cap in Bradhaii he was prompted by tender motives. Tennant was brought here yesterday and dged in jail by Deputy Marshall Hickson d the feelicg here is, one of gratitude the gentlemen who interceded in the ifor ucat man's behalf and t0 Judge Sim ton for his merv.

When vou buy your groceries, your dry goods. your har'dware, or your macbinery e away from home, do you realize that just c to that extent you make times harder around you a?.d :educe the chances of suc cess in wvhatever business you may be en gagel e Do you realize that jlist to that t-x tent von decrease the value of whatever C property you own; that you make it harder c for your neighbors as well as yourself to make money. borrow money or secure ae commodations? That it tends to reduce the population in your community; that it i breeds failure and encourages other com- i iunities to outtrip yours in every ad C vancenient; that it makes fewer openings for cbildren when they enter upon life's battle, and making poorer schools tends to g prepaie then less for this duty? 1 Where is the advantage? When you deal away from home you lose the advan tage which your personal knowledge of the reliability and responsibility of the mer- C chant gives you ; there is less con venience a offered you, and generally you pay more for what you get. The stocks displayed by T the merchants of Manning are as diversi fied, as complete and as fre h as are those e in other plac's. Then turn over a new leaf and trade here, if you have not been doing so. 11 is a duty incumbent upon the patriotic citi- P zen to stand up for his home, and self-in- a terest alike prompts it. f Notice.
