On account of the increase of business IN
Manchester and to accommodate the many
patrons Of TIE TIMES it has been found
necessary by the management of the paper 70
establish an uptown office. Arrangements
have been made with Mr.. Arthur L. Smell
ings. the popular druggist. for the use OF O
portion of his store at the corner OF lweiftn
and Hull streets, and in the future oil SUD-
scriptions, advertisements or items OF news
left there will receive prompt attention
1t is to hoped that this arrangement Will
meet the demands of the Manchester public,
and will work both TO the interest OF the peo-
pie and the paper. The interest which The
TIMES has shown toward Manchester mas
been heartily recognized by the citizens as IS
shown by the almost phenomenal increase In
the patronage The TINES now having
larger circulation in Manchester than all the
other Richmond dsilies combined.

forcing Davis back to the fence. IL WAS then
that Davis used knife and used IL most
effectively. With a fearful luEge he sent the
keen blade % the hit in his antagonists

again stabbed HArdgrOve iniiicting two lear
full wounds one IN the mans cheek ana tho
other in the shoulder. The wounded man,
as well o. his opponent, were quickly covered
with blood, when friends parted the COM

The men have the reputation oil being quar-
relsome particularly when thev nave been

they bear no enviable reputation m the COM

between fifty and sixty years old and ia the
smaller Of the two men. IL will certainly be
some time before the wounded man can APP
