When in Manning last, Hon. John L..
McLaurin visited the harness manu-
featuring establishment Of Mr. +. D..
Russell, and gave an order Tor sadoie:
The saddle was made after the style OF
a famous patented make. and al VINO
looked at it said it was splendid piece
of workmanship. We received letter
from Mr.. A1cLaurin containing a check
TO paw for the saddle, and IN this letter
he saws '"The saddle is splendid piece
of work, don't see how he made 1T Tor
$4,000. I enclose check which please
hand the maker with my thanks. ana
saw to him that it is more than l en-
pected at the price.
A negro boy by the name OF Mott
Briggs, recently employed by Mr.. {: Il.
at Jordan, broke into Mr.. Mr..
house last Sunday evening
while the family was out, and stole $50.
When Mr.. Bradley and his wife, re-
turned home they discovered the loss,
but the boy had left. Mr.. W. T: Sprott,
Mr.. Bradley's father-in-law, took the
train at Jordan Monday morning and
found the boy at Wilson's. caught him,
and brought him to Manning. On be-
inc searched about s2l. of the money
was found on his person, and he con-
fessed that the missing money was
spent at Davis Station for some cloth,
ing. Magistrate Yourmans committed
the boy to jail for court.
1t is always great pleasure to US to
express our appreciation OF the atsen-
tions shown US by local merchants, 1t
makes US feel that we merit their ap-
probation tor our efforts to induce
trade to this town. On the return
from the northern markets where he
spent several weeks selecting and buy
ING the best fall stock since the Mutual
Dry Goods Company has been in busl-
ness, Mr.. W. NJ. Turner, the manager,
presented US with a John B. Stetson
hat. We feel proud OF this gift, not
only because the John B. Stetson hats
are reputed to be the finest made. but
because of the kind motive prompting
the Gift. The Mutual Dry Goods Com
pany keep these excellent hats IN
Stock, and they sell them at a price
fixed by the manufacturer for the
world over. This concern has added
increased capital, with a view to be
better enabled to reach out for more
trade, and a visit to their store Is all
that is necessary to convince all that the
Mutual is ''the spot" where nice
class of goods can be bought at the
lowest prices.
There is trouble in school district
No. l6 near Puddin Swamp, and unless
the matter is adjusted it may prove
serious. It seems that a petition was
fled with the county superintendent OF
education praying for the reappolnt-
ment of the old board of trustees, which
was composed Of L. B. Gibbon, IL.
Gibbon and T. NJ. Beard; this petition
was largely signed, and the county
board Of education made the appoint
ment accordingly. As soon as the ap'
pointment was made known consldera-
BILE dissatisfaction was manifested, the
trouble continued brewing and culmi-
mating in an open charge of forgery.
A number of the parties whose names
appear upon the petition claim their
names were placed upon the paper
without authority. and against their
wishes. An affidavit was made befors
Magistrate Sellers, and a warrant IS
sued. charging T. NJ. Beard with 1or
gerry. The case was called last Friday
but Mr.. Beard asked for continuance
until THURSDAY. in order that he ma!
secure counsel. We hope the people O
that district will adjust the matter, a!
it has been the practice with MAORI
ty of the schools to be very lax aoou
the selection of trustees.
