The town put the 'slld" on coca cola
good and strong last Sunday and those
whose palates called for "cold DOPE
every Sunday could only be Quenched
with water. In the afternoon some
fellow placed on the front of the post
Office the following notice, with piece
of crepe around it. ''The relatives
and friends OF Col. Cold Sunday Dope,
who came to his sudden and untimely
end at 7:30 this am, are respectfully
| invited to attend funeral services to be
held at II o'clock to night"
A wisely conducted newspaper is
like a banquet, says an exchange.
Everything is served up with view
to variety. Help yurself to what you
want and do not condemn the entire
spread because pickles and onions may
be included. IT you do not relish
them somebody else may find them
palatable. Be generous and broad
enough to select gracefully such read
ing matter from newspapers as will oe
agreeble to your mental taste, You,
as an Individual, are not compelled to
swallow everything. We do not all
think alike on every subject and it is q
good thing, as it makes more variety,
and variety is the spice of existence.
The half page advertisement Of The
Home Bank and Trust Company in this
issue of The Times furnishes some re-
liable and interesting Information for
the tobacco growers. 1t shows from
the official report of f. ] Watts, COM
missioner of commerce etc., that out of
a tobacco markets in the State in 1914
Manning was in the lead as 10 prices.
The average price paid for tobacco in
1915 in the entire State was S4.3l per
hundred, some markets running as low
as $3.50, while the average price paid
by the Manning market was IS IL.
The Home Bank and Trust Company
has always shown lively interest in
the welfare of the tobacco producer,
as well as the farming interests gener-
ally. This reliable bank is soliciting
your business. and deserves your con-
sideration. Hon. Charlton DuRant,
State Senator elect, is President, and
Mr.. #. Mitch Wells is cashier. These
courteous gentlemen are two well
known to the public to need further
commendation. We ask our readers

The Home Bank and Trust Company.
AS an example of good business
methods and vim and determination,
Dickson's Drug Store deserves special
notice. On the 7th of May this reliable
drug concern was demolished by the
storm. Although the building was a
mass of ruin, and the stock of goods
almost utterly destroyed, they moved
into temporary quarters until they
could rebuild. They have now moved
back into their handsome and we'll
equipped new building, and the place
is one of the most convenient and up
to date, as we'll as one of the most re-
liable drug stores in every particular
to be found in the State. The honest
and reliable business, with courteous
men to run railways commands good
patronage, and this is what Dickson's
Drug Store merits and receives. DR..
Dickson is the sole proprietor, and he
always has competent and reliable and
courteous men TO serve the public.
We invite our readers to examine the
advertisement of this reliable house in
this issue, and remember that when
ever anything to be found in a well
ordered drug store is wanted, they
have it.
