Jordan School Exhibition.

EDITOR THE MANNING T1MEs:-Last
Thursday night ne had the pleasure
of attending the closing exercises Of
the Jordan Academy. Such occasions
as this Especially so with country
schools) deserve only passing notice,
but this deserves more. The program,
which consisted of dialogues, recita-
tons, songs, etc., was already under
way when we arrived, but we saw and
heard enough to convince US that the
Jordan people have good school,
with faithful and energetic teachers.
The children all did remarkably
well, and exhibited careful and sys-
tematic training on the part of their
instructors One of the features
of the entertainment was a
competatory defamation, three
boys contesting for the prize: Masters
Connor Wells, Joe Davis, and Fred
Lesesne. While the speeches of all
were good, the committee were unan-
imous in deciding that little Connor
Wells deserved the prize, which was
presented to him later on by Mr.. J.
NJ. Knight in happy little speech.
The cantata was very fine, and al
though somewhat lengthy, was, we
think, hugely enjoyed by all the audi
ence.
The principal had offered three
prizes: for declaiming, mathematics,
and punctuality. The prize for math-
ematics was awarded to Fred Lesesnc,
the prize for declaiming to Connor
Wells (as spoken of above, and the
one for punctuality to little May Le-
sesne All the prizes were presented
by Mr.. Knight, who, in his remarks,
spoke of the very fine record made
by the prize-winners in mathematics
and punctuality, as Fred's paper had
but one mistake, and May had been
absent only one day in ten months
and never tardy.
Miss Mclean has, much to the re-
gret Of both patrons and pupils, re-
signed the principalship OF the Acad-
emy, but it is rumored that she has
decided to dwell among US. Nox.

Struck bY Lightning.

Last Thursday afternoon the resi-
dence of Mr.. N. N. Johnson, of this
place, was struck by lightning, the
electric bolt passing through the roof
and down the south wall of the house
into the ground. Mrs. Strother. who
was sitting in the room that was
struck, received a shock that stunned
her for short time, but was not in
iured. The house was not set on fire,
though for short time smoke bulged
through the hole made in the roof by
the lightning, and was injured only
to the extent of having some of its
shingles and Notwithstanding knock
ed off and plastering shattered.
On the same day Miss Sue Wells
while at work on her sewing machine
was very much frightened by three
large balls of electrical fire playing
around the top of the machine. For
tunately no damage was done, and
she wisely concluded to "wait till the
clouds rolled by" before continuing
her work.
Manning seems for number of
years to have been under an
extraordinary electrical influence.
Only two weeks ago stable in this
place was struck and set on fire. A
gentleman tells US that one night in
the summer of 1851 during heavy
rain and thunder storm, a barn on the
Wolf lot in this place was struck, set
on fire, and burned, and that during
the same storm twenty-one trees
within half mile of the court house
were struck.

Complaints have been made to the

in the town, and he has been request
ed to ask the council to pass an ordi-
nance either to prohibit their running
at large or to have them muzzled. Po-
liceman Stukes shot twice last Satur-
day at a dog that was running around
town biting every dog that came near
him, but he failed to hit him. There
are great many worthless dogs in
this town, and we hope the council
will do something to rid US OF this
pest.

Oar postmaster is generally accom-
modating, but occasionally his acts, to
put it mildly, are unsatisfactory. The
mails are sometimes closed before the
advertised time, to the inconvenience
of the patrons of the Office. The Of
fee itself is sometimes closed before
the regular time. A postmaster
should contain large amount OF ac-
eommodativeness in bis make up:
never close the Office or mails min
ate too soon; but if he can keep it
opeu a few minutes longer than usual
it will show a spirit the people will
appreciate.

Three Incidents in Manning'S Social His.
tory.

A young lady, not ten thousand miles
distant from the TINES Office, one night last
week concluded to have some fun, so rig
ging herself up in mans suit she knocked
at the door Of a very near neighbor. The
young lady of the house answered the sum
mons, and upon asking the alleged gentle
man what he wanted, was frightened at his
reply, and rushed back to her mother. The
mother then went to the door, and upon
asking the stranger what he wanted was
told in abrupt language, That's my busi-
ness" The lady reported to her son, who
was in an adjoining room, what had been
said to her The son hastily got his pistol
and started for the door, but the young lady
herself now frightened, fastened to explain
and to reveal her identity All enjoyed the
joke hugely except the young Lady who first
answered the rap at the door: she couldn't
see the point in thus being scared
Miss X, young lady about fifteen, spent
the night last Thursday with another young
lady, Miss Y, about the same age. The last
mentioned young lady has a brother year
or two younger than she is. The evening
was spent in telling stories. principally
ghost tales, and it was near midnight when
they retired. Just about grey dawn, the
visiting young lady awoke, and imagining
she saw ghost in the form Of a man, she
jumped out of bed, and rushed into the, ad-
joining room where the lady Of the house
was sleeping. Her >cries, There's man
in the room, aroused the occupants of both
rooms, and the other young lady, Miss Y,
made haste likewise to leave her room.
Upon entering the next room she naturally
caught hold of Miss X, who, imagining that
the man had seized her, threw up her hands,
exclaiming 90 Lawdy! he's got me! 0 Law
dy! he's got me" The lady OF the house, by
this time herself thoroughly frightened,
caught her daughter, Miss Y, who in turn
thinking the man had her, began yelling at
the top of her voice, Hes got me, too He's
got me, toor' The whole house was alarmed
by this time, and Miss Is uncle rushed in
the room to see what the matter was. Dill
gent search failed to reveal anything wrong,
and the two young ladies found out that
they were mistaken in mans having
them. But the most amusing part of the
occurrence was, after things had quieted
down, the temperance of Miss Us younger
brother, who sleeps in his mothers room.
At the first outcry he crawled between the
feather bed and mattress, where he remain
ed till all the racket was over. When he
stuck his head from under the bed, after all
the fuss was over, every one greeted his
comical appearance with hearty laugh.

WHY

Why is she Sabbath School so
poorly attended? Is it because
some of the people really do not want
one, or is it because there is not
enough children to run one, is it
because they cannot get a man that
will superintend or teach it, is it
because they cannot dress their chill
dren better than any body else that
goes, or is it because they are not
able to help pay for the literature,
is it because they work so hard in
the week that they have to rest and
let their stock rest OF a Sunday, or
1t is because there is some one go
ing that they do not like or some
one has done something that they
do not like, or the church is on the
back ground and they are waiting
for it to revive before they start, or
are they waiting for some one else
to start first, or is it because the
nearest ones to the church will get
up soon and get the children ready
to 60 somewhere before Sunday
School time and probable 20 and
keep some one at home that would
come, or is it because they are run
ming it down and putting it in the
paper that the Sunday School is
very poorly attended and then not
come themselves? How much more
good they would do if they would
just praise it and come every Sun
day instead OF running it down and
going to see their neighbors Sunday
morning. Is this a good example
to set before the young people that
must soon take the responsibility
upon themselves? The day may
come that we would be glad to have
an opportunity of going to Sunday
School with our children and hear
the sweet songs and read the bless
ed words of God. Oh God forbid
that one should be left out of the
Sunday School. May we all go
and learn the way to glory and all
meet in heaven where we can sing
glory and praise our Maker for ever,
is the prayer of one of the County
Line Sunday School scholars.

SENSIBLE.

From the recent able letter Of
Congressman Clements to some of
his constituents, the following is
extracted as being in the opinion of
the Americas Times the best adj
vice offered to the people by any
public man in Georgia for some
time:
What, then, is the remedy for
your existing hardships? Clearly
] would say, remove the causes.
Reduce taxes to the tare necessities
OF the government economically ad-
ministered. So adjust the tariff as
to collect taxes only for public pur-
poses. Restore silver to its place
under the constitution as minted
money co'equal with gold, with full
and unlimited coinage, increase the
issue Of treasury notes sufficiently,
in addition to the supply of gold and
silver, to provide an adequate vol
ume of currency without undue in
dativn. In addition, enforce econo-
my in public expenditures. These
things could be done without enter
ing the domain of untried expert
ments that must prove expensive
and may be disastrous. The plain
principles of the fathers which we're
applied to the first seventy years of
our national existence, VIC would do
we'll to heed. The country is affiict-
ed with paternalism and centralism
already. Shall we go further in
that direction? Is it not wiser to
turn back and enquire for the old
paths and to "walk therein?"

1t does not pay to have fifty work
ingmen poor and ragged to have one
liquor seller dressed in broadcloth
and flush OF money.
1t does not pay to have the moth
er and children of twenty families
dressed in rags, and starved into the
semblance of cmaclated scarecrows,
and living in hotels, in order that
the liquor sellers wife may dress in
satin.
1t does notpay to have one citizen
in Jail because another citizen sold
him liquor.
1t does rot pay to have ten smart,
active and intelligent boys trans
formed into drunkards and thieves
to enable one man to lead life by
selling them liquor.
1t does not pay to have one thous-
and homes blasted, ruined, defiled
and turned into bells of disorder
and misery,in order that one whole.

fortune.
The loss sustained by society,mor.
ally and financially, the sorrow anG
suffering, the misery and. destitu
ton, produced and augmented, and
what is Infinitely greater consid

result of using or trafficking in in
toxicating liquor-these all attest
the truthtulness Of the verdict-'I

A physician of New York at a
little gathering there recently told
of one Of the first professional calls
made by fellow practitioner. He
was sent for by rich but avaricious
man, who had dislocated his jaw.
The young surgeon promptly put
the member in place. "What is
your bill, doctor?'' asked the pa
tent. FIFTY dollars, sir" Great
heavens p And the man opened
his mouth so wide as to dislocate his
jaw second time. The physician
again put things to rights. "What
did you say your bill was?' again
asked the patent. II said it was
$50; now it is $780," The man
grumbled but paid it.

These are the days of big things,
and it is the proud privilege of this
