We are requested to ask the people
of Manning and all others interested IN
the Manning cemetery to meet IN the
co,,rt house next Thursday afternoon at
$40 for the purpose OF taking steps
looking towards putting the cemetery
in proper condition To neglect this
sacred SPOT is a shame upon our people,
and we cannot understand why it is,
that such an Indifference exists. Re
member your dead lie there, and com
mon decencv should require Of the
living a. respect for the dead. The
cemetery can be made beautiful spot
if our people will devote little inter,
est and q few cents to it. Let US all
tl;rn out next Thursday afternoon at
f:3O. and see if we cannot awkaen inter
est in this holy and noble cause.
Judge Purdy granted bail on last
Wednesday in the case of the State vs..
M. Youmans in the sum of So, 600.
The papers reached Manning or the
evening train and in less than a half
hour the bond was signed and Mr..
Youmans released from custody. Mr..
Youmans was visibly affected al the
volunteer and prompt action OF his
bondsmen, who waited the arrival OF
the train to sign the bond.
The proceedings before Judge Purdy
in the application for bail in the You
mans case was about as heretofore pub
lished, with the exception OF some
af6davits contradictlng the witnesses
for the defense. The States witnesses
claimed Keels to be unarmed, and the
other side are positive that he was
armed. and he succeeded in getting his
nistol out of his pocket. That he
dropped the pistol, and it was picked
up by a friend.
We are ir constant receipt OF letters
from men who want to be railroad com
missioner and who are urging US TO say
something in their behalf. Among the
letters comes one from man who MADE
use of these columns and when we sent
him bill two or three times he Ignored
ms. Now he is a candidate again and
of course we cannot afford to speak IA
vorably of a candidate who is careless
about paving an honest debt. Then
another candidate for that office had
his name placed upon our subscription
1,st and we sent him several reminders
70 nav. he: TOO, acts as if a newspaper
should be satisfied in collecting sub
scrintions from the masses, and leave
those who aspire to fat political jobs
alone. A man who will not pay news
paper subscription cannot get our sup
mort for Office, and a man who sends out
natter flor publication in the interest
of his candidacy and refuses to pay for
it when q reasonable bid is sent him,
not only will not receive our support,
but will lose the support OF every friend
we can induce to vote against him.
