The Jordan Pink Tea q Big Success.

JORDAN, May 25.-The Pink Tea last Fri
day night was more than success: it was
grand. Friends from Manning contributed
in flowers and to the fancy work table lib
erally; Mrs. j. Frierson, flowers; Mr.. E. A.
Danmont, of Cincinnati, fancy work to the
value of eight or ten dollars.
Summerton's turnout was full delega-
ton with fat pocket books, which were re-
duced in size ere they left Us. We will not
sooa forget those Summerton friends who
came in such numbers to help US, and We
will whenever called on reciprocate to the
best of our ability.
Manning came to US in no uncertain way,
full handed, aud left the filthy lucre with q
lavish hand. Just think of it, Mr.. D. NJ.
Bradhana brought out fifteen in his hack.
Wilson came out in numbers. Foreston
was well represented Pamela, St. Paul,
and Greeleyville. were represented:
The amount realized from the PINK Lea
is about Sl6O.
We are made to exclaim that Clarendon
county is always outdoing herself III good
works. We have no doubt that this was
the largest and most successful thing OF the
kind the county ever saw, but then we are
built that way you know. Whenever we

preciate your kindness. There are other

Can't. Bradham Asks For Time.

EDITOR The MANNING TNEs:-I have
been gathering data for the articles prom
ised you some time ago, and find the task
greater than first anticipated, and desiring
to be correct in every particular I will have
to ask a little more time. I see Friend Way
makes some mistakes at the commencement
of his article on Co. II. He says Captain
Skinner was killed at Sharpsburg in 1864,
when I shall account for some of our boys
who were killed at Sharpsburg in 1852.
Very truly, DAN'L. j. BRADHAM.

She Wore a Beautiful Lace Dress.

Often is it the case that we hear people
say the reason they go to other places to
trade is that they cannot ind goods hne
enough in this market for them.
The reason these people cannot find fine
Goods here is because they do not take the
trouble to look TO, them. A few days ago
we had occasion to visit the mammoth store
of Mr.. Moses Levi, and in looking over his
immense stock of everything We found
goods of a style and quality that we did
not expect to see outside of a city store.
MIR. Levi has in stock magnificent line
of French lace dress goods that are simply
beautiful, and he is very anxious for his
lady friends to call and examine them. lie
SAYS he will save them money in the pur-
chase of fine dress if they will buy from
him.
