70 u1r regret. bu; the importance OF

OF the live towns IN this section OF the
State, very important commercia!
point. strong rival Cor the county seat,
therefore i, is OF the utmos; importance
that it should keep before the people II.
each issue o; the county newspaper.
Is Clarendon 10 have q county fair
this year, If Sc, why is it that we 90
DO. hear acy,hing moving? Oa years
are the very ones TO ge: such things
under way, for ia campaign years the
promoters are usually suspected OF be-
ing prompted by political designs.
therefore we say lets all ge, together
farmers, bankers. merchan;s-especi-
ally nerchants-lawyess, doctors and
all. 70 promote the county fair scheUe
fer the general good. but principally TO
bring tie people 70 ,own TO do business
here.
Attention is directed TO the halt-paSe
advertisement, o. The Peoples Bank. OF
Manning, in this issue. This organ;za-
ton is ar Independent bank, having no
connection with any other bank, and Is
organized to do legitimate banking
business. 1t is well o.Scered, and we'll
directed |, is here as Z permanent
business concern, with every promise
Of success. Manning does large vol
ume OF business, and it is increasing
every year, therefore, the business
needs Of the county makes room for an
o:ker competitor among the BANKS, and
this one being made up Of local capital
entirely, and largely OF farmers, we
think !: will draw business TO the town.
