Several men fron the Douglas seet on of Salem were in town last VednesdaV night and they were very free with their crii cisms of those who went over to Salem in search o Bill Dixon. These parties are morally certain that Divon and his party were in that section at that time, and they believe if the searchiig party had iade a diligent search,-insteal of listening to one individua!, Dixon would iaive been caught. The r arties alluded to, we know to be reli. able men. and they honestly believe Dixon and his confederates were the parties seen and that some white in-mu in that section misled the searching party with that "visit to a root doctor" theory The bug:;y seen over there answers the tescription of the one stolen from Mr. Wells at Brogdons, and they claim the mule was one that came from near Mavesville. Somebody is mis taken about the whereabonts of the Dixon gang, is certain, because a: the very time these Salem gentlemen claim they were over there soni strari- neroes iwere seen in the Pisgau s ction of Sunter county drIv ingi a black horse to a buggy similar to the Wells buggy.

Simmons' Squaw Vine Wine or Tablets correct this trouble. Sold by Dr W M Brockinton. Manning as a tobacco market, hias no superior in the State; the prices paid here have been so satisfactory that a great deal of tobacco has been induced to come here from sections nearer to other markets. In fact the Danville market has written hare to Mr. Mason that he cannot expect to make money, paying the prices he does. We ask our readers to maintain this market because it is to the interest of both the merchant and the farmer in this connty. If our local market is kept at a high stand ard, it naturally induces the growth of the market, and brings a larger vol':me of trade, thereby crcating such active compe tition, that will result in benefits to the farmer. There is no gainsaying it, Manning ha; within the last year or two developed into one of the most active competing points in this section of the State, and as a result, goods can be bought here at shorter profits than ever before. The old method of sel ling goods was to sell less in quantity, but more in profit; all of that has changed front, and today the merchant depends upon the quantity of goods sold for his profits. 'To keep "in the swinm" he must do a large volume of business, because with the present short profits, he must sell the quantity or he cannot keep agoing. It is therefore very necessary for our people to throw as much of their business here as they possibly can ; it is to their interest to do so. A Word to Mothers. Mothers of children affected with croup or a severe cold need nct hesitate to admiin ister Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It contains no opiate nor narcotic in any form and may be given as contidently to the babe as to an :"l-t. The great success that has attended aLs use in the treatment cf colds and croup has won for it the appir val and praise it hais received throughout the United States and in many foreign lands.

The teachers who are in attendance upon the Summer school, were recently enter tained by the citizens of Manning, and they in turn, entertained the citiZens of Manning. It would not be out of place to say that their entertainment was of a recip rocal order. Our last Friday evening the -'Moses Levi Memorial Institute" w'as filled with a bright and intelligent audience and a very pleasen t evening was spent. Thbe in structors and teachers aided by local talent gave a highiy creditable exhibition; a pr o grame consisting of music, essays, reading, recitations and an address, was carried out in a most pleasing manner. The exercises opened with a chorus, followed by the read ing, rather the discussion of the story of Enoch Arden. "Was Annie right in marry ing Phillip?" The story was treated by Miss Jessie Curtis who made a fine presen tation of Annie's character. The affirma tive side was handled by Misses Carrie Legg, Harriet Plowden, and Minnie Mc Faddin. Negative Misses Tea Wells, Franka Hiodge and Blanch Bilups. All of' these ladies presented their respective sides in a manner, creditable to thetm and very pleas ing to the appreciative audience. Following this came a Gipsy scene in two parts; first part, dliss 1-annie Davis and Mr. Joe Wells sang and acted that beautiftul duett "Gipsy Countess'' their wort was excellently done, and iu the se cond part Miss Pearle Breedin did herself proud singtng and acting the "Gipsy's warning.'' Miss Lizzie Perry delighted the audience with an excellent reading of "Aunt Peggy's railroad experience." "Hush thee my baby" w~as superbly rendered by a quartet composed of Mrs. Clara Davis, Miss Maggie Huggins, Messrs L. W. Dick and S. M. Rice. -A fter which Miss B~anch Bilups recited "'The smack in school.'' Professor Dick then delivered ain address of wvhicha th e fol lowing ts a part: He treated his subject in an intellectual manner and all through his clear cut and chaste argument he displayed his lovo for his profession-teaching. He deotedc~ the rapid strides the South is making in education, and the phenominal growth and size of the manufacturing industries, a ll of which was due to the work of the school room. History, he said, "teaches us that what may be regarded as immortal in the life of any nation is not to be found in mere material grandeur; even Egypt's; pyramids will crumble into dust, while the few words she has left will still remain. Babylion's lofty towers, Grecian works of art, and Rome's massive structures have all been swxept away; but their literary r liies have w'on for them a lofty place on fame's eternali scroll. But lasting a. 'are these remnants of departed glory, more en during still are the influences for good which should b e etertedh on the morals of our vuth, fixing those principtles that must underly all true education.

Levi needs no introduction to the peo ple of this or adjoining counties. The busi ness is but a continuation of one that has ex isted since 1856, and we think that forty-three Other businesses have sprung up and gone by the wayside, and supposed great busi ness methods have been introduced. "Hurly burly" demonstrations have been made about goods being bought cheaper than any one else could buy them, and sold below cost, but the intelligent purchasing public will, upon a mo ment's reflection remember that goods can be bought cheapest by those who have the expe rience to buy them, and credit in the best mar kets. Our record in the past will bear us out that this business has always kept what the people wanted, often when it could not be found elsewhere, and sold the people goods at most reasonable prices. th edet onlth want to say now that since the death of the late Moses Levi the business has been run in the name of his estate, with out material change, and we propose to con tinue serving the people as in the past. Remember this: We are now receiving a full stock of' ev'erything to be found in a first-class General Merchandise business, and the public are always cordially invited to come and see us. We continue to give the highest mar ket prices for cotton. D. & A. LEVI., Executors.
