The Manning graded school began
its fall session under very favorable
circumstances, and with bright pros
poets for successful year. The
teachers were all on hand, and there
was splendid turnout of patrons to
greet them. Rev. A. r. Woodson OF
the Presbyterian church and Rev. Fl.
K. Williams of the Baptist church were
present and made talks. Superinten-
dent of Education E. j. Browne and
Prof. J. C. Daniel also addressed the
schols.s and the visitors. The enroll
ment was the largest the school has
ever had on its first day, 296 was the
number of scholars, and there would
have been several more but on account
of death in the district, and sickness
among some OF the pupils a number
were not enrolled on this occasion. The
school has a splendid corps of teachers
for the coming session, and from what
the Superintendent tellsus we believe
it will be a banner year.
The Home Bank and Trust Company
is now in the new quarters, one OF the
handsomest little banks in this State.
The building is two story with press
ed brick and plate glass front. The,
upper floors are being used for the law
Offices OF Charlton DuRant, Esq, the
banks president and these are con-
veniently arranged and splendldly
furnished. The bank proper has It's
lobby floors laid in mosaic tiling, and
the furniture is mahogany and marble;
it is of rich appearance without being
fashy. This addition to Manning Is
greatly appreciated. The officers OF
the bank are Charlton DuRant, Esq,
president. Charles w. Wells, cashier,
and it has splendid board of directors
who give their personal attention to
the financial management OF the bank,
and as will be noticed from the state
ment il this issue there is a good show
ing Of deposits for the length OF time
| the huk has been in business.
We direct attention to another "big
advertisement of a. Abrams, Man
ning's special bargain man. Abrams
just will not let business get dull with
| him. nor will he be content TO DO an or
! dinary trade, he must keep things NOV
| ing at a fast pace. He has large stock
OF goods and he is making it interesting
for the purchasers of goods. The bar
gains he IS offering has attracted large
number of people to the town. and while
Abrams is doing large selling IL is
such 3 drawing card that the overflow
reaches others. There IS nothing like
keeping in touch with the trading pub
lie when YOU have something TO sell, the
people look upon the advertiser as the
man who wants TO Go business with
them, aud is catering TO their wants.
Hence the reason why those who aGver-
tise get the cream OF the business, while
the others have TO pick up the crumbs
which cannot be gathered in the busy
stores. Abrams is putting on these
special sales as business drawing prop
osition, it must pay Or he would not con-
tinue them, and the public must be sat
istied with the offerings or they would
not 60 there to take advantage of his
