Marvellous NJ. Irwin.

DIED, at his resic ence in Maryvllle,
Tenn, on Friday night, Sept. Ist,
1899. Marcellus Murct Irwin, aged
So years. We do but voice the sin
cere feeling of all in his wide circle of
friends and acquaintance when we
say, We MISS HIM!
He is missed in his home. 1t was
a home-which his affection for his
wife and children and theirs for him
made a home bright and sweet.
Now, it is home striker, bereaved,
desolate.
He is missed in his church and in
Sunday School. He loved the Mas
ter's cause and in the measure of his
means and influence he gave his hear
ty support to every good word and
work.
He is missed in his lodge. He was
consistent, honored member Of New
Providence Lodge, No. 1888, F. &
A. NJ, and, it is said by all the broth
erhood that, in all the relations of
life, he exemplified the lofty princi-
piles of the order.
He is missed in all the community.
He was good nelghbor and useful,
industrious, public-spirited citizen.
Such are blessing to any commu-
nifty. His character and life was
most commendable and deserving oil
imitation.
The funeral services, last Sabbath
morning, were attended by a large
concourse of sympathizing friends.
The burial was under the auspices OF
the local Masonic Lodge New Prov
ldence, J to which Brother Irwin be-
longed. Pastor.

Nashville Banner, Sept. 6:
About thirty years ogo the govern
ment secured a judgment for So, 500
against ]. B. Jackson of Loudon Co.,
for certain revenues he failed to pay.
A farm owned by Jackson was put up
and sold to satisfy the judgment and
and the government claims to have
bought it in. This farm is now own
ed by George w. and Joseph Jackson
and no one thought of contesting their
title until few days ago, when an in.

steps have been taken by the govern.
ment to secure the land or take po-
session or establish title.

Tuesday the mare Of Alex Gamble
was taken out of the lot while the
family were eating dinner. A search
was made and several persons saw a
colored boy riding a mare answering
to the description of CANDLES toward
Knoxville. Later that day, Porter
Kidd, John Seaton, both officers, and
M. H. Gamble started out in search
of the theft and met a negro boy,
whose name is Mace Toole, letting
down the bars, or fence to turn the
mare back into the pasture. He said
that he did not ride the horse, but
stole ii out for Sam Henry, another
colored boy, and he Toole did not
know where, nor how far the horse
had been ridden. Sam Henry. was
arrested Wednesday night, but Esq
Russell says that Henry worked for
him all day Tuesday pulling fodder.
This is not the first time Toole has
been accused, as about month
ago, he drove off a country mans
horse and buggy, which was hlched
in town. He was caught at the edge
of town and explained that he was
only taking ride. He was let off on
account of his age, he being only
about IA. He is also accused of steal
ing 81. so from Mr.. Hammontree the
Bicycle man. Tennessee should have
lareform school for such young scaIsps
but as she hasn't the whipping post
would be the ext best thing.

EXCHANGE OF SCHOOL BOOKS
State Superintendent Sends out the
following.

The commission constructs the
clause in the law and contracts,
"school books now in use," to mean
those used in previous sessions of the
school, and such books as would be
used by the students in the schools OF
the State, had not this law been pass
ed and new books adopted. Books
which are in a disable and teachable
condition should be taken by the mer-
chant.in exchange at the price fixed
by the Commission, without question.
No certificate, to be signed by parent,
guardian, teacher or pupil, will be
permitted, and merchants have no
authority, under the law, to require
their use. Publishers have no author
ity to issue instructions to merchants
or teachers about the method of ex-
change or rules governing it. All
questions Of this kind should be de-
termined by the Text book Commits
sion. under the law and in accordance
with the contracts made by the pub
fishers. Mutilated books must be
taken IN exchange, provided such
books are in condition to be used by
by the students in the school. A
book otherwise in good condition,
should be taken in exchange if the
back is torn off, and pencil marks fare
in it. Books with good backs, and
otherwise in reasonable condition,
with few leaves missing, should also
be taken in exchange. The meaning
of the law is, that book having been
used by the pupil with his name writ
ten on it, the back torn off, with a
few leaves missing, provided of course
/ that it is in such condition that he
would have used it IN school this
term had not this adoption been made
should be taken in exchanged. Books
should be exchanged book for book,
grade by grade, subject by subject,
Sin accordance with the contract and
Exchange prices. That is, a Fourth
Reader should be exchanged for a
Fourth Reader, Primary Geography
for Primary Geography, an Advan.
ced Arithmetic for an Advanced
Arithmetic. 1t would not be reason
able to expect merchant to exchange
Fourth for a First, or Geography
for Grammar, and such is not re
CURED Any violation of these in
structions by agents or merchants,
selling or offering to sell books,
should be reported to this Office, in
order that the Textbook Commission
may consider the matter and correct
the violation.

HORSE STEALING EPIDEMIC.
Horses stolen from two men and a
buggy from one.

Tuesday night horse and buggy
was taken from the premises Of
Martin Lambert; one and one-hal
mile below Greenback. The horse
and buggy driven by two men were
tracked nearly to Maryville along the
Niles ferry road and then it was hard
to tell whether or not a back track
was taken by the Morganton road, or
the two men driving, came on through
Maryville. 1t is now supposed that
the parties drove back getting scared
lest they should be caught as the horse
came home Wednesday night and
the buggy was found in the woods.

a business second to none in this section.
that his name is household word IS be-
cause he is identified with the mercantile
interests and farming interests. He is q
farmer as we'll as merchant, aud If any
man knows the needs Of the farmer It IS
J. W. Mcleod. His immense store IS full
of goods bought to great advantage, On as
a level beaded business man, he IS giving
his patrons the benefit Of his heavy deals
in stocks of merchandise. The corps of
clerks in McLeods' store will give close at
tention to serving customers, and we vent
u.e that cash buyer will not leave his
store without having his wants satisfied.
Nr. Mcleod, besides selling goods is an
active worker to build up the Manning
market, with that end III view he has ar
ranged to compete with the other markets
in the purchase o. cotton and is prepared
to handle the staple with advantage 10 the
farmer.
lis not necessary for US to tell the peo-
pie of this county who Jake" Mcleod IS,
for his many axis of kindness speak for
him louder praizes than can tie words OF
any newspaper. A man with the benevo-
lent disposition of Jake Mcleod can be
relied upon to treat his customers proper

Probably Sumter is convinced now that
the little bows from Manning succeeded 10
proving that the boys Of Sumter can
blow" better than they can play ball Last
Wednesday morning our Juveniles went to
Sumter to cross bats with the boys of that
city, as return compliment, and although
one OF the best players could not get off to
90 to Sumter they undertook to 'do" sum
ter with only eight players, and the follow
ing from the Sumter Item Of the next day
shows the result.
The game Of ball between the Manning
and Sumter kids yesterday afternoon re-
suited in tie, The score at the end of the
ninth lnuing sounding to I. The game
was well played and closely contested, al
though the Manning team had only eight
PLAYERS on the field If there was any ad-
vantage in point OF size and weight,it was IN
favor of the home team, and If the Manning
team was the same that took part IN the
game in Manning the kick Of the Sumter
kids does not hold good. The game was
not played to finish as it was beginning
to get dark at the end Of the ninth in
ming.

Manning hasn't taken on a balloon
growth like some towns, bat she has
outstripped towns, even of larger
size. A few enterprising citizens saw
that by establishing wholesale and
iobbing house here they could get
the key to the gates of the best mar
kets in the United States, and as soon
as this was demonstrated to them,
they at once concluded to put Man
ming in as close touch with the com
mercial centers as Charleston or 9TH
er markets. And today in THE MAN
MING TIMES block under the manage
ment of Mr.. H. T. Avant, is a whole
sale and jobbins grocery establish
ment, where the dealer can see what
he buys and from people known to
him.
This establishment is great ad-
vantage to the trade here, because
this grocery company can effect
freight arrangements that a retail
dealer cannot, and thereby save
considerable amount in freight. The
wholesale business in a small town is
an experiment, and should receive
every encouragement, because 1t
takes pluck and money to run such
are institution.
