cence of the death OF his father at Lydia,
Darlington county.
Supervisor Fielder was in town yesterday
Dragging on the fine melons his nelghborS
J. S. Cantey and Billy Coskrey raised this
wear, but we think it is all great big bluff
and that neither of these gentlemen have
any melons.
Whoever says that Mr.. L. 4. Howle did
not raise any watermelpns this year don
know what they are talking about because
he brought two of as fine melons as we
have seen this year They were OF the Old
fashioned Bradford kind.

We would like for some Of our readers to
send US the name Of the author that

'Our passions attack rs and we resist them
because we know they are our enemies.
Our prejudices lmprison us. and we must
take our jailers for q guard OF honor.
Tie good housewives have taken aavan-
tage of the great fruit crop this season. as
is shown by the number of cans and jars
sold by our merchants so far this season.
We took the rounds yesterday morning
and ascer:ained that 1854 jars and cans
had been sold, and that the demand still
continues.
A team Of base ballists composed of ju-
veniles from Sumter are playing match
game this afternoon with our Manning

local team, got red-headel when told that
he needed market-basket or a freight Car
to stop the hot liners from tue Sumter
batterS, and has remained so ever M2ce.
We understand that barrel OF onions
will be donated to the Sa.uter boys, should

The mysterious disappearance OF an
able article from the pen Of our esteemed
friend, DR.. j. l.. Easterling, has caused the
editor of The TINES considerable ar-
uoyance in trying to fix up a satisfactory
explanation Of the affair, but relief came
at last when, this morning, the doctor
came along aud there was discovered
something projecting from his coat-tail
pocket. The doctors attention was called
to it, and 10 and behold, it was the sell
same article that was purloined from this
Office. Now, who could have done this !?
Surely not the doctor himself it would be
hard to convince rs of that fact, although
circumstantial evidence points that way.
Merchants. our next Issue will be in
September ana you should send in your
fsl! advertisements. Manning has only
one newspaper to support and it should be
supported literally. There is nothing that
helps town more than good live news
paper and this every unpr. JUDGED man
will admit TEE MANNING TINES to be. The
business men of this town have not given
us as much patronage as they shonld-in
fact their advertising business has been
very meagre-but we hope that with the
bright prospect of a good fall trade our
merchants viii be more public spirited and
do more advertising. Does advertising
pay? Ask those who advertise regularly
and they will tell you that It is the best
investment business man can make.
Now that we have the only paper in the
county will not cause US to take advantage
of our patrons; our rates will be the same
as when we had active opposition. Hand
in your advertisements early and often.
