The Honorable-The Mayor and City Council, Manning, S. C. Gentlemen: I am writing your honorable body as the duly elected and authorized leaders of your enterprising city in the hope that this letter will be dis cussed in your Council meeting, and that you gentlemen will take this mat ter up with your city board of educa tion or board of trustees, of the Man ning Graded and High School, and with the ladies and gentlemen of Manning. On Sumter County School Day, Fri day, November 24th, of the Sumter County Fair, November 21st, 22nd, 23rd and 24th, 1922, we are putting on a mammoth spectacular pageant of programs parade of city and rural schools-many commercial fleets and hundreds of decorated cars, and other features. Sumter wants Clarendon County td join with Sumter County in this big educational advancement, bet ter acquaintance, and co-operative en deatvor between city, town, and rural .. .ricts. Why not get your citizens together and arrange a special Manning or Clarendon County division of this pageant of programs ? We want as many Clarendon county schools rural schools, city and town schools, floats, decorated cars, business houses, etc., as will kindly come in with us. Manning could pull off a splendid >ublicity stunt-and Clarendon Coun ty would also be benefitted as much as Sumter and Sumter County. Your big Manning school could easily make several bea.:tiful floats of big trucks, and have the floats loaded with beau tiful Manning and Clarendon County women and girls-you have plenty of both of these there, I know that full well. Then you could, if you don't care to bring the entire school, have four or five of the larger boys and girls of the higher grades to march with Sumter and Sumter county pupils and teachers. We would like 1 GlIB1 NE W Now A C K& Don' Th D. IJ every teacher and every pupil in Man ning and Clarendon county to be with us in this parade. Hundreds of Clar endon car owners could decorate their cars-either elaborately or in modi fied form just as they please-or they can put their cars in without any de corations at all if they care to just as they prefer. Last year on County School Day we had nearly five thousand pupils, teachers, and others in our 1922 page nt of Progress Parade. We invited Clarendon and other adjoining coun ties then to join with us. I am Lend copy of this letter to County Superin tendent of Education of . Clarendon County for his information and con sideration. But Manning, the county seat, should take the lead and then your rural schools would likely follow the leads of the, county seat. Please let us hear from you. Yours truly, E. I. REARDON, Manager-Secretary. NOTICE The public is cordially invited to attend a hot supper at the Hicks School, near Turbeville, Friday even ing at 7 p. in. the 13th of October, the proceeds to go to the benefit of the church.

The whole of the lower floor was thrown open to the guests and was tastefully decorated with cut flowers, pot plants and Southern Smilax. In the receiving line were Mrs. Wi. E. Daniels, Mrs. R. R. DuRant, Mrs. Mc Kay Shaw and Mrs. R. Early Thomp son. The guests were invited into the spacious hall where delightful punch was served. Misses Lois Thompson and Ruth DuRant very dainty presided at the bowl. The ladies were then taken into the parlor where Mrs. Reaves distributed the letters, in the names Mary Dick son and Walter High, which had been cut in two, for the ladies to match in order to find partners for a contest. The contest which was the "Marriage of Flowers" proved highly entertain ing. As there were several ties it was unanimously voted to give the prize a beautiful cut glass vase, to Miss Dickson. Mrs. Reaves present ed it in her usual pleasing and grace ful manner and held it up over her head,. while Miss Dickson showed her determination to appropriate every thing "high" by reaching up and get ting it. The bride was then given a string and told that, as she would need wrap ping cord when she went to house keeping, to wind it up. This led her through the piazza, the hall, the par lor and into the sitting room where a commodious lint was spread, and where Mrs. Garland had placed the many and numerous gifts. All were then taken to the back porch whei'r cake and coffee were served. This old home has recently passed its 90th K!ttittittttiitttiitiitttttttttili2ttt AT.
