Many of the original package shops are going out of business. We suppose they do this to save rent during the dull season. Quite a crowd was in town last Monday and Manning was the only town in the State where the sheriff did not sell prop erty. A line line of stationery at Broc:inton's, at all prices. Next to M. Levi's.

If you see a large tree on Main street with the bark all knocked off of one side, you n eed not think it was struck by lhghtning; it was run into by a young lady learning to ride a wheel. County Treasurer Bowman informs us that be has collected something over $34,000, which only leaves a little over S2,000 yet to be collected. Trhis has been the best collec. tion since 1890.

Biggest stock of fine Candies in town. R. B. Loryea, the druggist. Mr. A. C. Mason and Miss Orill Green of New Zion were married December 19th, Rev. W. C. Gleaton officiating. Miss Green is a granddaughter of the late Capt. P. M. Giibbons. Mr. Mason is from North Caro. Jina. Rev. Clarence E. Wilkins, eldest son o. Mr. E. L.

After the instaliation ceremonies there will be an oyster supper, to which all of the members and visiting Knights are cordially invited. Look-look-go to Brockinton's for that wonderful Celery Compound, only $1. per bottle. Net,: L' M. Levi's. At a tin e unknown to the writer, Mr. W. T. Lesesna planted an orange tree on the road leading ~to Sumter, near Sammy Swamp, an d left it to Miss Callie McFadden to nurture and bring up. Under har be. nievolent and kind treatment the tree ladened with buds, and on the 13th inst. there will be orange blossoms galore. Mr. A. L. Chavis recently killea three pigs aged 12 mouths each, and the three netted him 9-16 pounds. He also in forms us that he made a good supply of lar:: and plenty of sausage. We believe he raisee the bogs, because he always raises fiue hogs, bnt it will take more than his e:npty word to convince us abont the quant~ty an d quality of the sausages. A few weeks ago Mr. W. D. McFadden of Sandy Grove had two valuable milch cows killed by being poisoned. _Thes cows strayed upon the premises of a neigubot who careless.ly left paris gree~n lying around loose and the coss got toid ot the stuff and died. This was g severe los, to Mr. McFadden, whose wife is in ieeble health and depended upon the milk for her Ssustenance. People should not be allowed to leave poisr'n lying around loose; it i~ criminal carelessness and should be so re garded by the law. A reliable farmer told us last Monda3 that a friend ot his saw whiskey sold by thi bottle on the streets of Manning last Satur day. We expressed our doubts, but be in slsted that his informant wa a thioroughly reliable man. There has been a saspio ot late that some of the truit stands on the street are dealing in liqnor, andi :,ome igte~ told us they knew it to be a fact, at the same time they would not testify agains the parties. In our judgment the towc council would do a good thing to drive all the stands from the street. OLD PEOPLE. Old people who require medicine to reg ulate the bowels and kidneys will find th~ true remedy in Electric IBitters.

He was several t:aC inter:wted, and finally the crowd cot mencesi calling for lion. James E. Tindal, who came forward and in a few Linlutes the attention of the entire audience was riveted upon him and tuey were drinking in the words of good reasoning and good advice that fell from his lios. Mr. Tindal regard ed indiscreet management as having mucih to do with the present depressed condi itions. He told them that a few years ago cotton went down flat and farmers were on the verge of ruin. The ntxt ycar they did not 'o in debt. acd farmers, both white and black, had money in the fall; their barns were tiled with corn and everybody was happy. Then there was a failure in the Western grain crop. and every Mon tana horse that could be brought into this State was sold to our farmers. The result was that these Montana horses ate up all of our corn and we had to go back into debt ant feed our stock on bought corn, which never fattens faint stock. We could h:tve don e without many things, but because we could buy on credit we were not as mindful of our interests as we should have been. He urged his hearers not to go in debt, and those who were forced to do so, to only buy those things which they could not do a:th out. He believed it wise to organize and act with each other. Mr. Tindal's talk was a dispassionate review of the farmers' at lairs, and he made some suggestions if fol lowed will be productive of great good. The chairman was reqnested to issue a call asking the chairmen of the township boards to call nieetings in their respective townships tor the purpose of organzation and to send delegates to a convention to be held in Manning or salesday in February. Mr. Elisha i erry, of this place, says he never had anything to do him so inu-eh good and give such quick relief from rhen I inatism as Chamberlain's Pain Balm. He was bothered greatly with shooting pain i from hip to knee until he used th:s liui I went, which affords prompt relief.-B. F. Baker. druggist, St. Paris, Ohio. For sa!o by H. B. Loryea, the druggist. 3 Emancipation Day. New Year's day was cue of great rejoicing among the coiored population; it was cels brated in commemaoration otf the Abraham Lincoln ez-tncipation proclamation. FEtrly in the morning great crowds from all se tions came to Manning, and from the vari ous sections came bands of music. About midav the town was full of the celebrat ing mass composed of male and female, and to their credit be it said that out of' the tree thousand colored peonle who were re joicing over the declaration which resulted in releasing them trout slavery, we did not see a single one uder the influence of liq or. Men and women, boys and girls did treir rejoicing in a manner to evoka comn mnts of commendation. The procession was formed at Odd Fellows' hall and the march was taken up th cough Boyd street, through Dinkins, iRailroad avenue, and up Brooks street to the court house squire. The following brass bands furnished the music for the occasion: Salem-A. B. Bennett, leader. Maivinia -J. C. Cooper, leader. IPanola-Isam Code, leader. Et. P'aul-John Watson, leader. Eureka--S. J. Strother, leader. Black River Pickaninny -Rt. A. White, leader. After what may be termed a musical con test by the various bands, the meeting was opened with prayer by Rev. P. E. Ponmpey, wose words were sting and showed an appreciation of the day he and his race were celebrating. Then the Emancipation Proclamation was read by I. H. Hilton. Then a musical pandimonium broke loose, each band playing an independent tune and men and women danced. One ebony sister came to town dancing a sort of a waltz de Afric and she kept the thing up all day. Sne waltzed to the music of as hymn as well as a jig. It was her day and she endeavored in her own peculiar way to make herself glad by kicking care away. Rev. L. B. Elierson was acting master of ceremonies anid ha introduced Miss Maggie DeLaine who, in a very creditable manner delivered a poem from Wendell Phillips. Then R. H. Richardson of Wedgedeld, the orator of the day, was introduced, and he for about one hour entertained his hearrs itha review of their past and ther pesetand made predictions for the future of the race. The writer intended to ear the address, but the weather was cold and so uncomfortable he felt compelled to retire. A number of amusing incidents occur red. Some of our town dudes afforded aimusement by getting the country damsels to shufdle their dainty feet, while they would 'hug and squeeze them. One very black young :ady with a shapely waist as broad as her shoulers, and her weight standing in pir'o No. 3 shoes would not be short o two hundred pounds, walked up to a lit te dried looking, frecklad facel, vedlow fellow with re-t hair, embraced and kissed him' a aiss which aounded like a chunk cf liver had struck a boardi fence.
