We think it would be gool idea if the
merchants of this town who do not adver-
tise will take up the newspapers published
elsewhere; they Will see that Manning
drags away behind in the advertising line
and that this paper is far superior to many
published in larger towns. Nearly every
newspaper in the State has its columns well
filed with attractive spring advertisements
and pushing spirit is exhibit which is
beInd to have its effect on business.
Mr.. S. r. Tobias, Of st. Marks Township,
called on US yesterday morning and in
formed Us that his daughter. Miss Eliza A.

of the Norman church. Elder Whitney
has heen working on Santee for several
months.He represents the church of Jesus
OF Latter-day Saint" and it is the custom of
that sect to merry in the Temple. After
the marriage the couple will make their
home N Colorado, where the Elder will
continue his religious work
What are the people of Manning going
TO do aboaEa graded school? A newspa
per can do nosaipg but make suggestions;
It takes the people to say whether they
want to get out Of the old beaten ruts. i
graded school would be Of great advantage
10 this town and if the people do not take
some interest in the matter we won't have
enc. We know there are some who op-
posathe scheme, but it matters not what
lsssaseed some will give it opposition; all
of:asdo not think alike. In our opinion,
majority OF the free holders of this town
ship would favor a graded school and
there should be some way Of putting the
ter in hand?
For fresh. delicious fancy candies, go to
r. B. Loryea, the druggist.
The Anderson journal says: Young
girls cant be too particular as to how they
deport themselves on the streets and in
public places. However innocent, they
may suffer lasting detriment by some
thoughtless act that others may wrongly
and possibly strongly, misconstrue."
We are thankful that the young girls of
this town do not need any such admonish-
ion from Us. Our girls are trained to com.
mand respect and they live up to that train
ing. We have lived in this town the best
part Of our life and proudly say tnat the
atmosphere has been clearer of scandal
than any town of its size We ever heard of.
Not only are the young ladies pure, but
their Influence has had its effect on our
young men. Manning is without doubt,
one Of the most moral towns in the State.
