HAPPENINGS Of 20 YEARS AGO
The frequent rains are doing dam
age to the crops.
The Bank of Manning has just put
in its vault a handsome set of steel
cases to hold books and papers. The
vault now is absolutely fireproof as
there is not a particle of wood about
it.
Mrs. G. H. Huggins and children re
turned home yesterday from a visit
to Flowince.
The town authorities stopped the
erection of a wooden kitchen on the
Walker lot.
The following are the officers of
the Young People's Social Circle for
the ensuing quarter: President, J.
H. Lesesne; vice-president, Miss Jes
sie McLean; secretary, Miss Hattie
Harvin; treasurer, F. 0. Richardson.
The next meeting is to be a historical
one, and besides music, the program
is to consist of discussions on Gilmore
Sims, Henry Timrod and others and
histories of Clarendon County and the
town of Manning.
The growth of Manning is slow but
sure, and yet not so slow, either.
Where is there a town in the State
that has, to the size of its population
made greater progress than this town
has in the past twelve months. Look
around, and on every hand can be
seen an improved condition. Next
dooi to the bank is a neat store of
recent structure and in front of the

Meeting of the Paxville W. C. T. U.
The Paxville Woman's Christian
Temperance Union met at the very
hospitable home of Mrs, M. S. Broad
way on last Tuesday afternoon. The
subject of the meeting was Christian
Citizenship, and the interesting read
ings given by Miss Emily Broadway
and Mrs. Jeff Martin treated on that
subject. The reports from the dif
ferent departments of work showed
enthusiasm, and work on the part of
the superintendents. Some thought
a public meeting would be helpful,
and it was decided to hold one on Sun
day evening, July 29th, at the Metho
dist church. The president, Mrs.
Graham Broadway appointed Mrs. T.
W. Gunter, Misses Alice and Emily
Broadway to arrange a program for
this meeting. The making of some
comfort bags for our soldier boys
was discussed, and it was decided that
the union with the assistance of some
friends begin this work at once. After
adjournment, a social half hour was
enjoyed, when the Misses Broadway
served delicious water melon.

An Atlantic Port, July 17.-Bom

British steamship from Lisbon and

The firing began early in the morn

dispelled.

The Kaiser's Dream.
There is a story though strange it
may seem
Of the great Kaiser Bill and his won
derful dream.
Being weary of fighting, he lay on
his bed
And among other things he dreamed
he was (lead,
And in a fine coffin was lying in state
With a crowd of brave Belgiums be
maoning his fate.
He was not long dead, when he found
to his cast,
His soul, like his soldiers, would
quickly be last.
On leaving this earth to meet his true
fate,
le hastened to Heaven and knocked
on the gate.
St. Peter looked out and exclaimed
loud and clear
Try down below Bill, you can't get
in here.
Now said the Kaiser, I call that un
civil,
But a welcome I'll get from my old
friend the devil.
He turned on his heel and away he
did go,
At the top of his speed to the regions
below,
But when he arrived he was filled
with dismay,
For while waiting outside he heard
old Nick say:
See here, all you imps, I give you
fair warning
I'm expecting the Kaiser down here
any morning,
But don't let him in, for to me its
quite clear
He's after my job, and we don't want
him here.
If he once should get in there'll be
numerous quarrels
In fact, I'm afraid he'll corrupt our
good morals.
All right, my dear friend, the great
Kaiser cried,

Excuse me for listening while wait
ing outside.
If you don't let 'me in, where then
shall I go?
Indeed, said the devil, I declare I .l:)n't
kinow.
Oh, do let me in, for I'm fee'infr quite
cold
And if you want money I've plhnty
of gold.
Let me sit in a corner, no matter how
hot
No, no said the devil, most certainly
not.
We don't allow folks here for riches
nor .pelf.
Here's sulphur and matches, go make
h- for yourself.
And he fast kicked him out when he
vanished in smoke,
And just at that moment the Kaiser
awoke.
He jumped out of bed in a shivering
sweat
And said, that's a dream I shant
soon forget,
That I won't go to Heaven I know
very well,
But it's really too bad to be kicked
