The firm of Oorm’ck and Boyce, the well known Aiken hariiers. has Ixen disolved and each are out In an adver tisement in this is**ue, calling ntten lion to their respective places of basi- nese.

The shade trees are growing Ariel v, and the pub lic « ark in front of the >Suoerinten dent’s olfice is a thing of beauty and a joy forever. In our notice about the assembling of court which appeared in our la-t isssue the word “week” was left out which made the notice read “next Monday.’’ instead of next Monday week. Court will meet next Monday, September 10th and Judge Wallace will preside. We are told that there is a young man in the neighborhood of Windsor, S. C., who is 20 years of age and ha« been engaged 1 ( » different times, thus nearly averaging an engagement (o'- 4e very year since he came into the world. The young ladies call him the “long legged flirt.” Mr. Geo. A. Bailie, the well known dealer in carpets, rugs Ac., of Broad street Augusta, Ga., lias associated with him in business, Mr. Thos. W. Coskery, Jr. The business is nowcon- ducted under the firm name of Bailie A Coskery. Bee advertisement in an other column. We publish In another column the advertisement of Brown’s Iron Bitters, manufactured by the Brown Chemi cal Company, of Baltimore Mary land. This company stands high for reliability and prompt dealing, and our rcadetsutoun purchase Jheir goods with cuery assurance that they arc val able and care u!ly prepared com pounds. Bee advertisement elsewhere. On a recent visit to Madison we were struck with the evidences of sub stantial and intelligent improvement. The streefs are being widened, good sidewalks built, and a neat and tidy air pervades everything. The people wii. p«r attention to the improve ment or their streets are laying the foundation for solid prosperity. Mr. James E. Cook, of Granitevflle, is receiving a very large and attrac tive stock of goods for the Fall ami Winter trade. Persons in want o dry goods groceries and in fact every thing usually found in a first-class stole of general merchandise, should not fail toghe him a call. On Saturday night Simon Pinckney, a negro from the country, while on a dr>.nken spree assailed a young man with a stick in Lu lekens «fe Son’s sa loon, when a m Ice endued, d <riinr which Pinckney w as cut in the head. 'J lie in g o left town on Sunday, and Intcudant Da' is fined one of the other pastes ten doll. rs. Our O aniteville agent, Mr. Jas. A.

Delinquent sub scribers to t e Rkcort>er at that post office are respectfully invited to give him a call a*-c unpanled by the cash when h" will f rni-h them with a re ceipt in the most graceful style.

The order, (or note), may he tor an\ amount, from one cent, to five dol lars, and ninety-nine cents. They are to be receipted by party procuring money at post office; but are payable *0 bearer, and will lie cached ai either the office of issue, or office drawn up on. They cannot be replaced if lost, and are invalid after three niontAs from last day of the mouth in which they are issued. However, if presented for payment alter becoming invalid, by going through a prescrilied form, and pay ing an additional lee of three cents, a new order for same amount can be procured and cashed. Tiie new postal notes, Will undoubt- edly prove a great convenience, ami e'msidering tiie small amounts for which they will be used, it is thought that there will he but small risk o:' their loss. However, it must be dis tinctly understood, that postal notes are not to take the place of money orders. A person may select at his option, either a money order or a pos-, tal note, as a means oi remitting money by mail. But remitters will unders a id that a p >stal note is sent at their own risk, while the Govern ment is responsible for the payment o. a money order to the true payee, if both remitter and payee comply with the laws, regulations and instructions of the post office department. The fee for postal notes is three cents. For money orders of same amount, (less than $.3.00), eight cents. 3rd. The reduction of postage on first class matter, (any matter contain ing writing, or any package which is scale I, whether containing writing or iml), from three cents, to two cents per hal.-ounce or fraction thereof, will go into effect on the 1st of October. Two cent stamped envelopes bearing special return request, may be ordere.t by parties desiring same, on or alter September 1st, in anticipation of their use, October 1st; but such envelopes must not he used until the latter date. In conclusion, I would caution the public to avoid confusion of dates, and consequent trouble. The reduction of commissions charged on money orders, took place July 1st, 1 -83. The ue w postal notes begin issue on Scptem oer 3rd, 1383. The redaction of postage will come into effect on Monday, Octo ber 1st, 1881. B. 1*. (.’hatfield. Postmaster. Mr. A. P. Padgett, of the town of Madison, with his tine stock of choice liquors, cigars, tobacco and fancy groceries is doing a fine business, as how could he do otherwise, when ho advertises in liberal style in the col umns of The Aiken Recorder? His billiard rooms are well patronized, and neatness and good order are the watchwords on his premises. • A Card From the Victim of theMtn- derous Assault at AVhlte ftVmd. Windsor, So. Ca., Aug. 29,1883 Editor of the Aiken Recorder: For fear I may not have the pleas ure of meeting with eaeii one individ ually, I beg space in your valuable paper to extend my many thanks 10 tiie citizens of Wh te Pon t and Aiken County, f r their kimlnesst«» me w.iile in the difficulty, with the notorious c uored man R.chard Mims I would U;so beg leave to correct the erro made in regard to tiie origin of ttic d.ffieuliVi i» was money that he was justly owing the 8.

Respectfully, W. S. Walker. Mrs. N. E. Selin, proprietress of the popular Granite .rile hotel ts doing a thriving business. She has been en tertaining thirty odd guests during the best part of the Summer and her house is now filled with visitors from Ba'annah, Baltimore, Augusta an-! elsewhere, who are delighted with their entertainment and the health and comfort of Graniteville. Our friends of Madison, while en gaged in f heir work o. improvement must not forget to plant a plenty of nice shade trees. A good plan is to set out water oaks fifty feet apart aim in each interval to. plant a pride of In dia (china berry; tree. The latter will grow rapidly and soon make a good shade but as the ro.its are super ficial these trees are apt to be upr..oteu by storms, therefore if desired they may l>e removed as so..11 as the slower growing water oaks obtain a proper size. Mr. G. W. Baker, of the town of Madison, has obliterated every trace of injury to his flue new store building from the recent vicious incendiary at tempt. i'loni a personal inspection of the premises we are led to conclude that his escape fr in the total dis. ruc tion of his premises was entirely due to tiie lit any good w ill with whieh he was helped l>y friends and neigh bors on the nlghi ol the fire. We are happy to State that the colored people behaved handsomely. Ellegaut Milli eery. Mrs. X.
