1 Jacobs Ladder at the BaptiS! Church.

The Manning Baptist Sunday-school had
quite an enjoyable entertainment for their
school on Christmas eve. Instead OF the
usual Christmas tree two ladders, reaching
nearly to the ceiling. and representing that
beautiful picture seen by Jacob, Of the en-
GELS ascending and descending thereon,
were utilized for holding the presents.
They. together With the whole church We're
beautifully decorated with festoons of ever
green's, and brilliantly lighted with wax
candles. Bending from the top Of the lad
ders, with outstretched arms and finger
pointing to the east, was a very large and
lovely doll, representing an angel, and OF
each side were four others ascending and
descending.
Every available space around and be-
tween the ladders was filed with presents,
both beautiful and rare, and all together
making one Of the most striking pictures
we, have ever seen. The music, led by Mrs.
D. N. Bradham, the organlst was one OF
The best features of the evening, and was
followed by the rendition in q very lmpres-
siye manner of prayer and Potatoes.

per. Jacob, dressed in Oriental style, and
holding staff, was lying at the foot OF the
ladder, and was then awakened from his
sleep. Rev. T. E. Jasper, the pastor. then
made short application of the scene to
Christ as our ladder to heaven, after which
MIR. and Mrs. Santa Claus were introduced,
and proceeded through the audience dis
tributing gifts from their well-stored bags.
The ladies deserve great credit for their
untiring zeal in accomplishing so much
in so short a time. Particular mention
should be made OF Mrs. Jasper, Mrs. Lizzie
Briggs, and Mrs. Clarke, who exhibited
great taste and perseverance in the man
agemeat of the affair, which was quite
success. and pronounced by many to have
been the best thing Of the kind ever seen
IN Manning. The pastor and wife were
appropriately remembered, both by this
congregation and the Biackville church
which he served for several years. The de-
sign and decoration of the ladder was got
ten up by Mr.. Jasper.

Christmas Pleasures About Wilson's.

Mr. ED1To9:-It has been my happy lot
once again to be invited into pastures both
fertile and green. I was one Of happy
party to attend pound party at the resi-
dence of Capt. Mills, Christmas Eve night
IT vas very pleasant occasion, and could
not be otherwise, as cur hosts, the Capt.
and his good lady, left nothing unturned to
make each one have q good time. Supper
was served about twelve o'clock, with a
bo1ntiful supply Of sweet-meats. well inter-
spessed with oranges, apples, nuts, and q
lot of small talk in which Cupid played q
prominent part.
Mr.. Editor, there is one thing almost in
faIhble, that when pleasures begin they do
not come single, and in this instance it
proves true, for Oh Christmas night we had
q repetition Of the same at the residence Of
Mrs. Irene Plowden. The guests were cor
daily received by their hostess and her
amiable daughter, Miss Mamie. There was
nothing lacking to make the occasion q
pleasant one, and each one seemed to avail
themselves of the opportunity; wit and
hpger were now piled with vengeance By
each of the beaux, each one trying TO out
strip his fellow, and well they night, for
such display Of refinement and beauty
viii be difficult to duplicate.
Mr. Editor, believe am now wiser, if
not better man, from last Christmas's cx-
perience. saw Cupid in all Of his forms.
and he played havoc with hearts IN those
two nights, or they were badly wounded
before, for one could see very plainly that
some Of them were taking it as hard as
thunder could bump a stump, and if the
orange blossoms do not play their part this
winter, they will have to bloom the earlier
next, or then am no prophet. y.

A Woman Killed Near AlcoEu.

!, Last Friday night near Alcolu, Bessie
Bailey, colored, shot his Sister-in-l Law,
Lizzie Burgess, ana she died from the e:-
fects of the wound inflicted on Sunday. It
appears that Bailey's wife and her sister had
some words on their return home from a
frohc IN the neighborhood, and fight en-
sued between them. Bailey arriving on
the scene shortly after, and finding his wife
badly beaten, pulled his pistol and fired at
Lizzie, the ball striking her in the lef:
breast and ranging upwards. Trial Justice
Iimmons was notified, and he summoned
q jury of inquest. They proceeded to the
place where the body was found, and after
examining number of witnesses. rendered
the following verdict:
s'Tnat the said Lizzie Burgess came to her
tlastA by gun shot wound inflicted by a
pistol, at Alcolu, on the 25th night of De-
cember, A. D. 1891, from the effects OF
whicn she died on the 9th morning OF
December, 4. D. 1891, in the hands of one
Bosse Bailey. And the jurors aforesaid do
say that the aforesaid Lizzie Burgess, in
manner and form aforesaid, was killed.
Bosss. Bailey then and there fcloniously did
kill. against the peace and dignity of the
said State aforesaid"
The jury Of inquest consisted entirely Of
eelored persons.
The night before the verdict Bosse Bal
ley ran away, telling his wife that she
would have to shift for herself. AS soon as
possible after the verdict warrant was
place with the sheriff, who put deputy on
trail at once, but as yet he has not succeed.

A Stabbins ARRAY in, Manning.

Avery unfortunate affair took place in
Manning last Friday night, IN which .dr.
John P. Thames was severely stabbed by
AIr. Lamartine Newman Mr.. Thames was
at the head Of party of boys making
Cbristmas merry by parading the streets
and firing off Roman candles and crackers
When the party reached the corner Of
Brooks and Boyce streets AIr. Newman en-
aeayored to take drum away from one OF
the boys Mr. Thames demonstrated with
him and babe him let the drum alone.
Some say that Newman cursed and struck
Thames, whereupon Thames returned the
blow, and Newman stabbed him. Others
say that Thames struck Newman a blow in
7 the face first, and that Newman immedl-
ately stabbed him. We do rot know which
statement is correct.
After Mr.. Thames was stabbed he walked
into Mr.. Lowry's store, and his wound was
examined by @ surgeon. who found that the
knife had penetrated the upper part Of the
. left lung, causing dangerous woand. air.
Thames was carried home and Mr.. New
man was arrested and put in the guard
house, where he remained until the next
day. he was then turned over to the sher-
if. and lodged in jail.
Tie knife used was {: common pocket
knife, with blade nearly three inches
long, and from the signs of blood on the
blade It seems as if the knife was driven
into the hit.
The whole affair is most unfortunate, and
is only another chapter in the great volume
of lireful deeds due to the whiskey lend
