At congregational meeting OF the
Presbyterian church held at the rrgu-
lar hour for service last Sunday morn
ing it was decided to extend call to
The Rev. L. B. McCord OF Louisville.
Ky., 70 succeed the Rev. A. r. Wood

church channels and it is hoped that
the congregation will soon be again
supplied With an acceptable pastor.
The Rev. Mr. McCord has the highest
recommendations as to ministerial quail
ificatious and being a native South Car
Gilman there seems 70 be no reason
Why the happiest relations should not
be established between him and the
Manning congregation.
The Manning post Office was inspect
ed last Thursday by two Post ONCE ln-

HollidaS. The Office was thoroughly
gone through, perhaps the strickest ex-
aminatien it has ever had, not the least
detail was overlooked. These officers
we're courteous to the force, at the same
time they were exactioy, and they CAV.
valuable instructions 70 those connect
ed ri;th the working force. They COM
pleted their work and when they 6nish.
ed cotnplimented the force on the meth
Cd O. conducting the Office. The few
technical irregularities they discovered
WAS received as valuable information
and will be avoided in the future. The
post Office force is always glad to have
their work inspected, especially when
it is done by such courteous and consld'
crate gentlemen.
