Jenkinson had his spring mail linery opening, and his store was crowded all of the afternoon. The exhibit of hats was fine, and enough to set to palpitating the heart of the most fast deous woman. Miss Coppedge who has carge of the mail linery department is an expert in her line and the work exhibited yesterday after non.hw he tob a ladv of exquisite Lieutenant J. E. Kelly is home on a fur lough until next Monday, when he will re join his company in Augusta. Lieutenant Kelly speaks interestingly of Cuba and hkes the country, but he says there is no place like home and he is glad to get back. He thinks that it will take about six weeks before the company will bp mustered out. All of the men are anxious to get nut of service. although their stay in Cuba has beezn plea.sant. The silver section wa; yoterday visited by a severe wind and electrical storm which done a vast amount of damage to the for ests and agricultural interests. Capt. A. L.

Racheal Levine was ar rested and brought to jail and Francis the supposed mother of the child skipped out, but it is thoucht she will soon be appre bended. It is a shame for people to comment when a lady is seen buying a bottle of hair dve for a frien a(?). There is nothing wrong fr a lady to have a triend in need of an article to make him or her look younger than their years. This lady whose pur cbase has been commented on really did not purchase the hair dye; the cost of the stuff was fifty cents and the lady only had a quarter. The druggist would not divide the bottle nor did the lady ask for credit. There, now, you gossipers, mind your own business, and if, hereatter, people have gray hairs they want to hide or wrinkles they want to cover, let them alone. On last Monday morning while little Jal lv Warr, a son of Sectionmaster Warr, was coming to Manning to school, walkiag on the Central railroad on crossing a culbert, Just over the swamp, he looked down and discoved a man lying in the wa ter. He at once gave the alarm and the Coroner was notiled. 'he man turned out to be Wash Billups colored, who lived on Mrs. Sallie McKnight's place. Billups was subject to fits, and he was seen walkitig the railroad Sunday night on, his way to church; it is supposed that on his return he was at tack with a fit and fell into the water and drowned. There were no signs of any foul play and the jury of inquest rendered a verdict accordingiy. We have saved many doctor bills since we began using Chamberlain's Cough Rem dv in our home. We keep a bottle open all the time and whenever any of my fam ily or myself begin to catch cold we begin to use the cough remedy and as a result we never have to send away for a doctor and incur a large doctor bill, for Chamberlain's Cough Remedy never fail's to care. It is certainly a medicino of great merit and worth.-D. S. Mearkle, general merchant and farmer, Bedford county, Pa. For sale by R. B. Loryea, druggist. The reunion at Charleston begins May 10th snd continues for several days. Vet erans from all over the South will be there, and to entertain the crowds will be a heavy tax on the people of Charleston. The whole State is interested in the success of this grand movement and every town should go tb work to raise funds to help Charleston give her visitors a grand time. It is estimated that over 40.000 visitors will attend the grand reunion and if the whole State does the proper thing-the visitors will go back to their homes well pleased with Charleston and the State. Let every body go to work to make the reunion the grandest that has ever been held. We walked into the store of a merchant who does not advertise, because he thinks he saves money by it, and found him get ting some goods through his back door that he had just bought from a merchant who does advertise. Moral: The advertis ing merchant, by his push and energy sells enough goods for cash to enable him to replenish every few days and keep his stock fresh, and by buying often he gets such advantages that he can sell to the non advertiser and make a nice profit too. The people understand this and as a conse quence they stay away from moth arnd cob we infe~ted establishments and do their cash buying where goods are fresh and clean,and up-to-date,aad sold to attract the cash trade. The curative properties, strengta and ef fet of Dr M A Simmons' liver medicine arc always the same. it cannot be equalled. Sold by Dr W M Brockinton. We hear that some of our county friends arc hesitating about coming to Manning on account of that dreaded desease, small-pox, and we feel it our duty to say, there is no cause for aiarm. Manning did have a cou ple of cases, said, to be small-pox but the patienis are well and out; one reason the Ipest did not spread to any extent here was the vigilent efforts to staimp it out, on the part of the town authorities. As soon as the desease made itself visible here last year,the council passed a compulsory vacci nation ordinance which did we believe,have the effect ot guarding against the loathsome pest, and we can now say with all sincerity that there is absolutely no danger in visit ing Manning. Just come right on an d fear no danger, in fact there has always been less danger here than in the country, be cause we had officials with the means at their command to keep the small-pox,chick enpox, elephant's itch or what ever it was from getting out. A. Rt. De Fluent, editor of The Journal, Doylestown, Ohio, suffered for a number of years from rheumatism in his right shoul der and side. He says: "My right arm at des was entirely useless. I tried Chain berae's Pain Balm, and was surprised to receive relief almost immediately. The Pain Balm has been a constant companion of mine ever since and it never fails." For sale by R. B. Loryea, druggist. We have been asked to again urge our citizens to take steps towards giving Man ning a graded school, and we hardly know what to say, time and again have we urged ears." Can it be possible that the property owning people of this comumunity are wil ling to do without sufficient school facilties? We ao not believe it, and can only itccount for this apparent in difference as the result of waiting tor somebody to make the start. it is our sincere belief that the opposition the project had before was on account of a misunertand :ng, and the former oppo nents will now favor the scheme. The tie is drawing near for the summer vaca tions and we have the best of reasons to be lieve the town will be without proper school facilties unless the people take hold of the matter and put tbe school upon a basis that a professional teacher can offord to take charge of it. People what are you go ing to do about it? Attention, Maninitg Guiards! You are hereby ordered to be at your ar mory on Saturday, April 8th, for the pur pose of electing officers. All members and persons having grey uniforms must turn them into the armory on that date. By or der of company. WV. M. LEwIs, F. P. En~vis, 1st Lieut. Captaini.

What Struck Him i Editor Tus THcEs: To satisfy curiosity, will you tell us if the communications which re cently appeared in THE TIMES about the snow, young ladies threatened ,with prosecution, and some young men, is a fair specimen of the intel lectual genius of that exclusive or ganization, "Literary Circle?"
