Died last Thursday near Pax7il!
after short illness. Dr.. ". II. Rey
nolds, aged about 50 years. The buria
took place in the family bu,yiug grouu,
at Reynolds Mill Tic deceased say
service in Cuba daring the Spanish
American Var. He was i good physl
clan and one Of the best read men II
the county.
What came near being a disastrous
tlre Thursday afternoon was prevented
by the timely work OF those present II
McDonald's clothes pressing establish
ment. The cause of the fire was the
explosion of some gasoline which spreat
but was distinguished before the fire
engine got to the scene.
Beginning July lst, the government
requires poStmaSterS to WelSh the
different classes of mail before sending
it of, and this viii take up some time.
and in order that the postmaster will
not be rushed at the last moment, the
patrons of the Office are requested tC
have their mail matter in as early as
possible.
The Atlantic Coast Line offers round
trip tickets from Manning 10 Norfolk
and return for $40. The tickets are
on sale tomorrow and are good for ten
days. Here is an opportunity to go to
the jamestown exposition to be there
on Carolina Day" There will be
crowds of South CarolinianS at James
town on the 2Sth.
Remember that box rents at the
postoffice are due, and must be paid
not later than Saturday, as Monday IS
the lst, of July. The government does
not allow the postmasters to put mail 10
boxes that have not been paid Tor IN
advance. We are not required TO give
this notice. but do so as Il matter OF
accommodation to parties interested.
The person who treats with contempt
tile appeals made TO them to pay what
they are honestly due, is no better
than a thief who robs a house. The
one who refuses to pay an honest debt,
has secured the goods of another dis
honestly, and the thief who robs a
house has done the same thing. The
difference is. however, the thief is put
on the chaingang and the other is not,
but should be.
The bad road over Brewington's
causeway interferes with having a rural
mail route established in that section,
vet those most Interested Will content
themselves in waiting for the chain
gang TO get out OF Salem to fix it. The
mail route is 100 important to wait on
ANYTHING. if the gang cannot get there
now, the people should get together
and fix it anyway.
Manning has now two good fire
engines, with sufficient supply OF fire
wells to protect the property from fire,
it is now up to our business men,
and town authorities TO take this mat
ter up with the insurance companies,
with a view to reduction of rates. We
believe if the matter is properly pre-
sented to the tariff association there
will be reduction Of fire rates at once.
On Wednesday evening at $50
O'Clock on the 18th, at the home OF the
brides parents, Miss Sally Margaret
Elma Geddings and Mr.. William Ed
ward Tisdale were united in marriage
by their pastor Rev. Geo. E. Spruill:
The bride was gowned in silk, trimmed
with lace. It was beautiful and quiet
home wedding. Alter refreshments
were served the bride and groom went
to their home in the suburbs of Pax
vile.
Dry wells permitted to be dug within
few feet of the nearest nelghbor
should not be permitted. These wells
do not tend towards improving the
health Of community, and they are
very obnoxious very frequently TO pas
sers by, and exceedingly distasteful to
those living near them. The town
authorities ought to do something to-
WARDS stopping the nuisance. A null
sance not half so obnoxious Or danger
Gus, created by poor people would be
stopped Instantly.
Harry War;, son OF former section
