port city in the State, IS to have a cen.
tennial celebration December 10Th, and
an invitation is extended TO everybody
to take advantage Of the cheap raj road
rates to visit city with a grand his:
toric past and brilliant commercial and

The Barkout Carnival Company IS
here with many pleasing attractions.
There are about POO people in the ag'
eregation and they make genteel ap-
Dearance upon our streets. They have
a very fine Italian band, discourslng en-
cellent music. and the tented city pre-
sents the appearance OF worthy
carnival of pleasure. The attractions
are clean and won the admiration OF the
Columbia State during the State Fair.
This great daily spoke Of the Barkout
company in Aattering terms. The busl-
ness element Of Manning were not favor.
able to carnival company coming here
at this season of the year, mainly for
business reasons, and would have, II
left to them, kept them away: but they
are here now, and everybody is attend
ing the shows. all of which are deserv-
ing of patronage. People can have
more fun at the "tented city " for the
money than anywhere else, so let the
crowds turn out and enjoy themselves.
In one Of our recent issues we boasted
of Manning;s cotton market being the
equal of any in the State, and we say so
now: but prominent farmer from the
DnRant section, seeing what we had TO
say about our market, was induced to
bring few bales of the staple. striking
the town when the market was see-saw-
ing, and, unfortunately for him, he SOLD
at the lowest price for the day. When
he reached home that night he found
that neighbor had sold cotton the
same day in Sumter for quarter OF a
cent more This made him sore on US
and this market, but had he investl-
gated he would have found there were
times during that same day cotton sold
for three-eighths of cent more per
pound in Manning than he got when he
let his 60 to the brother who caught
him on the low drop. Manning is a
good market this season, and we want
our friend to try it again and not be
discouraged because he was slapped
down by q bear.
