Al are cordially invited to attend.
Mrs. Sarah Harvin, formerly resi-
dent of this county, died last week in
Sumter county. She WAS an estima-
bic lady, and had many friends and
relatives here.
The hunting season allowed by law
opened up for Clarendon Aug. 1st.
In some other counties it will not set
in until Sept 1st. There is no earth
ly reason that can be conjurea up
why the hunting season should not
begin and end all over the State at
one and same time.
G. Alexander, Manning's popular jeweler,
will sell good clock for 95 cents.
The familiar scene Of the basket Of
scuppernong and quart cup is around
our streets again on schedule time.
No mishaps of season or vicissitudes
of weather ever cross its serene path.
They swing in at the appointed
time, with the regularity and precis-
ion OF the planets in their course.
We desire to call the attention of
our readers to the fine stock of watch
es, jewelry, and other such goods,
kept by Mr.. G. Alexander, in the store
next to the TINES Office. Mr.. Alexan-
der has the reputation of being an ex-
pert watch repairer, and of selling
goods at low figures. His store is
neatly fitted up.
The Town Council has force Of
hands now employed on the streets,
cutting and carrying away the rank
weeds and tall grass over-running
the sidewalks It would prove de-
cided step forward, in the way Of
good regulations, could some plan be
devised to keep this nozious growth
always under subsection.
Now is the time to have your watch
es, clocks, and jewelry fixed. Garry it
to Gustave Alexander. All work
warranted. In few days I will re-
ceive 100 clocks, which I will offer to
the public at IS cents piece. A fine
line of iewelry, watches clocks, spcec-
tacles, eyeglasses, silverware, at re-
markably low prices. Give me a call.
I have everything in the jewelry line.
6. ALEXANDER.
The recent rains left behind them
snap of delightfully."- cool and bracing
weather, SO pleasant and invigorating
after the equatorial temperature Of
the preceding week. These spells,
with their accompanying heavy dews
of the night, have begun to tinge with
delicate tracery the tender plants and
those trees of the forest that write in
Natures alphabet the message Of the
closing summer.

Our streets presented quite an IN
usual spectacle, last Monday morning,
as 8 lot of convicts from the State
penitentiary, in striped clothes and
all chained together, passed along on
their way to the Eutaw Railroad,
where they will be put at work with
others likewise employed at that
place. It is said that there we're fifty
one in the detachment. They were
in charge of two of the peniteotiary
guards; and all moved along with
the precision of drilled soldiers on
he march.
IS cents for clock at Ae1snder's.
The number of mishaps, many Of
them resulting in death, is far ahead
of anything of the kind in the peace
annals of this county. It can, how
ever, hardly be attributed to any iu-
creased carelessness, or reckless dis
regard for life and limb. The guam
tity of machinery applied to the
many enterprises of the day is much
more abundant than ever before
known amongst US; and a large sup
ply of men is necessary to run them.
While the danger never grows less,
those employed around become ac-
custumed to the peril in which they
stand, and hence, the very frequent
destruction of life or frightful injur-
les sustained by SO many all around
US.
Just Received! Turnip Seed, at Dinkins
& Co.'S Drug Store.
A very large new engine and fix
lures passed through Manning, last
Thursday, en- route for the plantation
of Mr.. J. NJ. Richardson, in the San
tee section, carried there by ten large
mules. It had look of business
about it. Mr.. Richardson, who was
present, and who superintended the
transportation of the ponderous ma
chinery, appears to have fathomed
the depths and shadows Of the work,
and has reached the conclusion, that
amid so great competition as now
exists, the only plan to succeed IN
this precarous business, at which SO
many fail, is to push it for all it is
worth; and by running several gios
expedite matters to such an extent,
as to attract CUSTOM, and send pa
