THE MANNING TIMES X. I. APPELT----------------------.......-----------------------Editor F. M. SHOPE-----------------------------------.. . .. Business Manager PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 29, 1917. It seems the examining boards have had less trouble with flat feet than with cold feet. If old General Sherman were here now he would have to find some stronger term to describe war. If the kaiser wants to jump from the frying pan into the fire, he might try the job of emperoring in Russia. Worry may be, as a great man has said, worse than drink, but it doesn't leave the same taste in the mouth next morning. We have no objections to the president appointing Mr. Taft a major general, but we do think he should have considered the shortage of khaki. We had thought the young men of this country were not very devoted to home ties, but from the looks of the exemption claim list it would seem they are the whole cheese. A news item says a Pittsburg man lays claim to the city court house site and advertises it for sale. But he's not the first fellow who thought he had monopoly of justice. Chicago school children are tearing out a page in their spellers on which the kaiser is lauded. And this, per haps, is the first time in their little lives that they were not thrashed for obeying a perfectly natural impulse. Now that they find the stigma of cowardice firmly' at tached to them ,war grooms are explaining that they merely obeyed the call "to arms." They further assert that as no particular "arms" were specified, it was their privilege to make the choice. TEN WOMEN ARE ARRESTED speeches, were arrested late today iii front of the White House.

Died last Monday, Mrs. Elizabeth Davis, aged about 65 years. She was the mother of Mr. N. B. Davis. Miss Laura Beckham left last Mon day morning for Baltimore to fit her self for her profession as an up-to date milliner. In coming out of the church at St. Paul's Sunday night of last week, Mrs. Henry C. Carrigan stumbled over a buggy shaft and fell breaking one of the bones in her right arm. The body of Mr. W. P. Peagler was ,brought from Glenn Springs last Monday night and taken to Jordan where the funeral took -place 'yester day. A toll gate near Jordan would be a paying institution. Perhaps ther some of our Manning dudes wouk help somebody with their frequent visits. Captain W. N. Royal, of the A. C L., was in town last Monday and h< seems confident that the authorities have captured the villian who mur dered poor Jimmie Blackwell. Died last Mo. Jay at her honle neal Panola, Mrs. Mary A. Harvin, wife o: Mr. Thomas H. Harvin. The deceas ed has been ill for a long time and her death was not a Surprise to hei host of friends in this town. The wedding cards announcing th< approaching marriage of Mr. Archie Barron and Miss Mary Anna Davis are out. The ceremony takes plac< at the home of the bride-elect': mother. Cotton is coming to town right along and from what we can learn rust is maturing the stock so fast that it will be a short season of pick ing. The crop will not be as larg as expected. The new vault in the Clerk of Court's offmee isa beauty, and Clerk Timmons after he gets his books an papers arranged, will have things s< that he can find anything he wants at a glance. It is a great improve ment. Last Thursday night some miscre ant cut a saddle belonging to Mr. Gus Walker while he was attending ser vice at the St. Paul revival meeting. This sort of thing should be stopped if it takes every member of that church to ferret out the perpetrator of such mean tricks. Tuesday, August 29th, was the eleventh anniversary of the earth quake. Eleven years ago after a pri mary election, while many of us wvere waiting for thc returns from the va rious boxes, the earth trembled and houses shook. All at once a fright ened people wvent to praying and cry ing aloud their lamentations. We shall never forget it.
