A Band of Trade Makers.

The tobacco culture Of this and adj
Joining counties has given stimulous
to trade which cannot be lost sight of
by business men who are in business
as g fixture.
A few years ago the experiment of
having warehouse in Manning was
tried, and after one house gave impetus
to the cultivation OF the weed, condi-
tions were such that it was deemed ad-
sisable to buiid second house: un-
fortunately bad crops cut down the
yield, and bad prices discouraged the
planters: the result was that one Of
the houses could not withstand such
conditions and was therefore sold.
This house known as The Peoples"
was bought in by Messrs, W. E. Jen-
kinson and F. P. Erwin, who have as
sociated with them Mr.. R. D. Clark,
who will have the floor management,
and Mr.. H. NJ. Mcintosh, who will visit
the planters.
The motive prompting Jenkinson
and Erwin to buy this warehouse IS
plain: they are busidess men and as
such they realized that it would utterly
destroy Manning as a tobacco market
! if there was no competition, and in or
der that our tobacco farmers might
have confidence in this market they
determined to keep open The Peoples
Tobacco Warehouse, and place it in
charge of men who have the confidence
of the people. Every grower OF tobacco
| in the section knows r. D. Clark to be
straight forward man, man who will
look after the interests of his patrons,
and now that he has the management
under good business men it can be felt
that everything possible will be done
to induce the farmers to bring their
product to him. The house will be
conducted upon business principles with
determination to succeed, no man
will be forced to ''tote an order to the
store" to get what belongs to him, but
when he sells, his money will be
counted out to MIN.
Mr.. H. NJ. Mcintosh is one Of the peo-
pie. raised and living in the tobacco
section. tobacco raiser himself, and a
man regarded by everybody as having
high character. He has associated
himself in this venture and he will use
/ his utmost endeavors to make The
! Peoples Tobacco Warehouse, under
It's new ownership grand success
to all concerned. There need be no
fear that there will be any comblna-
tions with other houses, for under this
company it will be matter Of rivalry.
the house giving the best satisfaction
will get the bulk of the business.

cause the State Board of Pensions has
not vet paid out the pension money.
Mr.. Derham says that the same law
that requires the pensions to be paid by

failed to get in the reports until after
the time the payments should have
been made in many instances, though
earnest appeals were made. Even now
many applicants have had to be sent
back for further information to be sup
piled before the State Board can com

SPOONING
Proves TO Be a serious Thing
Al Fancy Ball
A rIarriage En- Masque For FUR
And a Divorce May
Follow

Miss Alice Rose, Of Sedalia, O.,
became the unwilling bride of An
drew Parks, at Towanda, Pa,
New Years night as the result OF
an attempt to play a joke at
masquerade ball. Miss RISE. who
was visiting friends in that section,
was q guest at the ball, auo Parks,
who was present. expected MS
6ancec to wear a costume similar
TO that of Miss Rose.
He accordingly mistook the Ohio
girl for his sweetheart. and when
he began to say tender things Miss
Rose quickly saw he had made a
mistake, but in a spirit of fun led
him on. Parks found himself get
ting along 50 smoothly that he pro-
posed immediate marriage ia their
masquerade costumes, and Miss
Rose accepted with the stipulation
that neither unmask until after the
ceremony was completed. She re-
lied on the fact that Towan is In
Pennsylvania, just across the State
line, and a marriage license would
accordingly be necessary.
The couple, retaining their
masks, doned their garments and
went to the house of a Methodist
minister, arousing him from bed
and stating their wants. He COM
piled and proceeded to perform the
ceremony. When he had gone far
enough the bride suggested they
had forgotten the marriage license,
but the groom replied, "Oh, no; !
got this yesterday" producing
paper from his pocket.
With a cry she fell to the floor,
but quickly recovered herself and
declared that she must be released.
The minister held the ceremony
had gone far enough to make it
binding, and the groom, when he
found out the joke, was in a tower
ing rage. 1t is thought a divorce
action will be necessary in order
to dissolve the bonds beyond a
doubt.

10 late years men have made for
tunes out OF the failing OF gold
mines. The mills in when the ore
formerly was crushed and the
crude processes then in use allowed
a large percentage of the precious

amounted in some cases to a for
tune. The stomach is just like a
stamp mill in this respect, that
when it is not in perfect order it
