Musical Enthusiast!

We did not intend to play the part
of an eavesdropper, but could not re-
sist the temptation of listening to a
request made by very pretty young
lady of a gentleman who is fast gain
ing reputation on his voice. To our
certain knowledge this gentleman has
had several offers to go upon the
stage. His business was to be to warn
the audience in case of fire, also to
stand on platform and expatiate on
the wondrous beauty Of the seven
louc-haired sisters in ten cent side
show to a circus. The young lady
was told that this gentleman could
sing, and she being fond of high art
music requested him to call and favor
her with some of his favorite selec-
tons; she also assured him that she
would have a number of friends with
her who were as great musical enthu-
siasts as herself.
The gentleman feeling highly COM
plimented by this most fattelng re.
quest, made the desired promise, and
as soon as the lady left he at once
commenced tuning up his mclodlous
voice. Such melody! II Wagner,

How to Plant lurnips.

Editor The Manning Tines:-I beg
to give through your columns my
plan for growing turnips. I first lay
off rows three feet. wide, break out
with turn plow then put down one
half guano to be used in alley, make
bed and apply balance OF guano OF
its equal in stable manure. With eight
inch straight shovel plow throw two
burrows on manure, then press bed OF
ridge with roller, such as most suita-
bic to make bed firm. I then prepare
to plant seed with dibble, distance ten
OF twelve inches apart. Cover seed
with roller. 7 never fail to get a
stand. Thin out to one and two in
hill. Plow turnips with small sweep,
and hoe them out. With this plan OF
preparing ground and proper atten-
ton after stand I never fail to make
fine turnips.

writ de lmatico inqui1endo.
We were very much embarrassed,
as we were satisfied from an intimate
acquaintance with the gentleman that
he was not crazy but was simply prac-
ticing what he called "Gigh art" music,
in order that he might exhibit his
musical talent in its best form, and
that he might succeed in entertaining
his lady friend on the selected even
ing.
We sincerely hope and trnst, for
the sake of the kind feelings we bear
for this gentleman, and for the people
residing in the same vicinity in which
this lady resides, and as a matter OF
simon pure sympathy for all persons
interested, that this engagement will
be cancelled, at least until this friend
can swap off the voice he now has
for another that is not quite so melo-
dious.

ONE FACT

Is worth a column of rhetoric, said an Amer
lean statesman. It is a fact, established by
the testimony of thousands Of people, that
Hoods Sarsaparilla does cure scrofula, salt
rheuin, and other diseases or affections aris-
ing from impure state or low condition of the
blood. It also overcomes that tired feeling,
creates good appetite, and gives strength
to every part of the system. Try it.

We called on NJ. Kalisky in order
to get his views on the deposition of
Dom Pedro, but Mr. Kalisky did not
care to be interviewed on that subject
as he and his Majesty were not on
the best Of terms, but he said if there
are any persons in this town or coup-
ty that desire good suit of clothes
OF pair of the best all-wool hand
made shirts or very fine linen bosom
dress shirt, if they will call on him be-
fore purchasing elsewhere he will
guarantee Charleston prices.
There is disposition among some
of our people to so to other towns to
make their purchases, but if these
people will now come to Manning
and see the efforts that are now be-
ing made by our merchants to recov-
er any trade they may have lost in
the past, they will see for themselves
that our merchants have taken hold
of the progressive idea and will do as
well for them as they can do for them
selves elsewhere. Give Manning a
showing. Remember this is your
county seat, and if business improves
here the whole county IS benefited
thereby: So come to town, go from
place to place with your money, and
we venture to say that you will make
your purchases here and go home
