New Bank of Manning.

Manning, Aug. Sit is practically
an established fact that a bank will
be instituted within the next two
months to be styled The First Nation
al Bank Of Clarendon. Large amount
of stock has been subscribed and with
ample capital there is no reason why
a very prosperous business should not
be maintained by this new monetary
institution. Manning has now two ex-
cellent State banks and with a ma
tional bank will control the banking
business OF the county. The coming
guarantee of able and conservative
management.
