The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1889-11-20

trusted to US, in my opinion, an opin.
ion I may say, in which I am joined
by the president of our board, Mr.. G.
P. Huntington.
Lord Recompense Won Sniffen is q
stout-built man of middle age who
has been robbed of his wife foul
times. His title extends back nearly
as far as the mortgage on his house
and lot. He is of a sandy complex
ion with bright red beard. This he
wears full, in order to have it har-
monize with his habits. He was
wounded BY double barrel shot gun
at one time, but it gives him no incon-
venience at all, especially while stand
ing up. He dresses plainly and eats
opium between meals.
The Baron de Rumsey has title in
soak, which he can regain by putting
up sS5,O0O and interest He will con-
slider proposals from a bright, young
American girl with, that amount Of
ready money, provided she does not
care for inordinate affection. The baron
is So years of age, we'll preserved-in
alcohol. He has travelled a good
deal, mostly on foot late years, and
can wait on table or take care of a
furnace. He has spent two years in
Switzerland both as porter and head
waiter and can talk well on hotel life
on the continent. He speaks two Ian
guages and also understands the bar
Der business.
Lord Peascod is young, scarcely 10
years, but desires to realize OF his IL
tie at an early date He does not
pine so much for affection, but writes
! US that he has had hardly anything to
eat for nearly year. He would like
to receive overtures and a sack of
-four from a wealthy American family
as soon as possible. 1t must be ear
Ily, as the offer will not be held open
long. The daughter of a provision
and grocery dealer, or ham and bacon
fancier, would be desirable. Lord
Peascod has a kind heart, is simple
in his tastes, and drawls a little when
he talks. His photograph shows a
young man who may know something
later on, but has not given his atten-
ton to it yet. His title is clear but
his brain is not. He may be often
discovered by himself, wondering
where he has left his thinker. A
good strongminded girl say SIS years
of age, with butcher shop and wa
termeion patch, has glorious oppor-
tunity here to win a young heart such
as it is, and become at the same time
Lady Peascod.- He is tired of living
on a crest with fried mush three times
a day. His crest consists Of tape
worm, rambunctions on a field, de-
vastated, over sausage recusant
His brains were once said to be in
good working order, but they have
worked so long now while the wealth
er is warm, that he lately has to
sprinkle chlorides on them while
thinking.
Count A!eck Cheeseman, surnamed
Aleck the Smart, considers, sealed
proposals from American girls or wild
ows up to 12 o'clock on the 31st day
of December, A. D. 1889. He sets
no price on his title but will close
with the best offer, our Bureau to re-
ceive its percentage both from the
count on his receipt of the dowry and
from the bride op-receipt of the title.
r:fihis :islhlis s=sAss than watering place
jockeying, and avoids newspaper gos-
sip during the preliminaries. Count
Aleck the Smart is divorced gentle
man of culture without means. He
has published a hand book of modern
vices which shows his wide range Of
experience. 1t is now in its ninth
edition and may be procured of amy
doubtful dealer. He is a medium
size man with the low, retreating fore
head of the catfish and the heavy set
mouth Of the hippopotamus. He
dances well and drinks other people,
whiskcy almost exclusively. Yet his
title runs back as far as the eye eau
reach and his price is fair enough un-
der the circumstances. The ladies he
has heretofore married have agreed
not to modest him in the future pro-
videl he will abstain from marrying
them any more.
/, Count Aleck the Smart has tasted
every pleasure in life with the excep-
ton of being gentleman for fifteen
minutes by the watch. He readily
eats anything he can overtake and
says eyther and nyther in society.
1 would be glad to receive any and
all correspondence relating to this
new Trust with which I may be favor
t ed, and trust that the Trust may
work iucalculable benefit to both our
own country aud the tottering dynas-
ties of the Old World. All letters
should be addressed to me personally
and will be regarded with the strict
est confidence, as I shall not allow any
one to see them except my wife.
n. B.-We will not offer anything
on title which is backed by nothing
but half pound seal ring and a rub
Der stamp crest for marking linen.
We must have abstract of title or
there will be no trade. In year
from now we propose to control the
duke business absolutely.
Will you attend to this matter now
or will you wait till prices have ad-
yanced?
Please do not send certified checks
to Mr.. Huntington. They will receive
