We are pleased to announce that the little boy is now much better and that our Sen ator is again at his post engaged in the diligent performance of his duties. During his absence Mr. Smythe, of Charleston, introduced several mat ters of interest to Aiken County. Miss Ida B. Hk.vpuksiiott, third daughter of Col. II. B. Hendershott, of the U. 8. A., wdio has for many years boon a resident of Aiken, died on Tuesday last, Dec. 6th, after a long and weary illness, of consumption, and was buried at St. Thaddeus Episcopal Church on the afternoon of the 7th inst. She had been a communicant of the church since March 1879, and bore her sufferings with a sweetness and gentleness of disposition which were fit accompanyments to a firm anil abid ing faith in the redeeming blood of our Savior. Her remains were followed to the grave by a numerous concourse of sorrowing friends. A sweet dower has sunk to rest in the bosom of the earth from whence it sprung, to reap pear again in more beautiful form in the celestial realms of eternity.

[Correspondence News and Courier.] “The South Carolina building occu pies one of the most eligible positions In the Cotton Exposition. It is a source of pride to every visitor from the Palmetto State, and an unfailing attraction to thousands of strangers from every part of the Union. I would not willinglv exaggerate a sin Kl of be hi bit exquisite taste, and every article is displayed to the best advantage. Ex tending down the middle of the space occupied by the exhibit and along the walls of the building on either hand are long lines of shelves upon which are arranged the different articles on exhibition. There are in the collec tion nineteen different exhibits of wheat, fourteen of corn, Icy, twelve of cotton, fifteen of water- flowed rice, six of upland rice, nine of oats, ten of peas, and three specimens of Carolina-grown tea, representing nearly as many varieties. The grains are contained in glass jars, which are handsomely labelled, and in boxes built especially for the purpose’ The specimens of the red rust proof oats, in the production of which the upper part of the State Is so justly famed, are finer than from any other State in the Union, and the other grains are equal to anything in the Exposition.” From the list of exhibitors from the various counties of the State, we take the following list of Aiken exhibitors: “Stalks of cotton, Dr. R.
