A meeting of the directors or the Carolina, Cumberland Gap and Chi cago Railroad is announced for Wed nesday, January 29th, at Aiken. We regret to learn that Earnest, the Infant son of Mr. F. J. Rankin, who lives on the farm of Mr. W. G, Mood, a few miles from Aiken, died on Fri day last, after a short but painful ill ness. We are happy to learn that Messrs. Parker & Odom, of Aiken, reported by Bradstreet as having failed, are pursuing the even tenor of their way as turpentine farmers in good stand ing. We are happy to state that Mr. Robert Powell has so far recovered from his late serious attack, that he is able to visit his place of business on fair days. We trust he will 6oon be entirely restored to health. The Temperance Worker is now published at Sumter, 8. C., and the Rev, H. F.

Duncan, of the Ai ken Methodist Church, pjrGachtsI at the Union Church in Langley on Sun day last to a good congregation in the morning and quite a large one in the evening. The congregation of the Episcopal church on Sunday morning was larger than usual, owing to the presence of a good many of our Northern guests. The Presbyterian Church was well attended, and the pastor. Rev. T. P. Hay, preached interesting sermons both in the morning and at night. The Baptist Church was attended by large congregations both morning and night, and we had the pleasure of hearing an able sermon from the Rev. Lucius Cuthbert at the evening scr- vices. At the Methodist Church the Rev. W. Hardaway preached in the morn ing, the pastor being absent filling his appointment at Langley. his leaving; his place cannot easily be filled, for a better physician or a kinder hearted man never lived. The best wishes of the people here go with him for his success in his new home, for what is Granitevilie’s loss is Washington’s gain. Mr. Jas. A.

We are sorry to hear that owing to lack of interest by the members in keeping up the organization, it is probable that the Palmetto Rifles will he disbanded and the arms ret turned to tiio This Ts much to be regretted, as a good mi litia company is a source of pride and of safety to a community. Mr. H. L. Ford is agent for the Lightening Lamp Co., and offers for sale a lamp which is said to give a light equal to fifty candles. It is a splendid parlor or office lamp, and is specially adapted to the use of stu dents or those engaged in literary work. Call and examine for your selves at Mr. Ford’s office. On Friday last a white woman by the name of Mrs. Oliver, residing on the suburbs of the town and well known by many of the citizens of Aiken, died at the advanced age of 97. This great old age was attained in spite of the violation of many of the laws of health, and is considered an evidence of a most wonderful c.n.n- stitution. Religious services will be held at the Aiken Methodist Church every first, second and fourth Sabbaths at 11 a. m. and 7:30 p. m.; prayer meet ing every Thursday night at 7:30 o’clock; Sunday-school every Sab bath at 9:30 a. m. Visitors are cor dially invited to worship with us. W. M. Duncan, Pastor. Our gentlemanly young friend, Mr. O. T. Hutson, who has been foreman of the Edgefield Chronicle office for the last year and a half, was in town on Sunday last looking well, and he tells us he Is doing well. We do not know a young man who more richly •deserves success than Mr. O. T. Hut son. During his services in our em ploy he entirely won our respect and kind feeling by his courteous deport ment and faithful performance of duty. We are pleased to learn that Messrs. Grandy’s & Zorn, the enterprising dealers in rough and dressed lumber, who had their mills burnt on Thurs day week last, at Windsor, in this •County, will soon be rebuilt and be ready to supply their costomers with jail kinds of merchantable lumber. These enterprising gentlemen have «old a great deal of excellent lumber in Aiken and the surrounding country at satisfactory prices, and the tempo rary suspension of their business is greatly regretted by the community at large. Pay Up. Parties indebted to The Aiken Re- .COKHER are earnestly requested to call and settle their arrears of sub- ecription. Each individual amount is a small matter, yet nevertheless the aggregate is a formidable amount to the publishers of a newspaper, where «xpendiU;res for labor and material have to be met w’eekly with the cash. We hope this notice will serve as a reminder to our friends, and that they will call and settle at an early day. Augusta Hotel. Mr. L. E- Doolittle, formerly of the firm of Lewis A Doolittle, has recent ly purchased Mr. Lewis’ share in the proprietorship of this favorite resort of citizens of Aiken, aud which will be run hereafter exclusively by Mr. L. E.

His rates are at the reasonable price of $2i>er day, and the house is pro vided with a telegraph office, electric bells, and all the usual conveniences of a well kept hotel. See advertise ment in another column. Alarm of Fire. On Friday last about 5 o’clock in the afternoon the alarm of fire was given and the Aiken steam fire an- gine was promptly drawn out into the street, btrt-R was soon discovered that its services would not be needed. The alarm was occasioned by the shed of a two-story house on Park Avenue taking tire, which was soon extin- guised. It appears that the shed hud been repaired that day by Mr. Vogt, the tinner, and it is supposed that by some means the small furnace used by tinners occasioned the accident, as the lire was found between the shed and the tin roofing. A few square feet of roofing burnt was all the dam age doue, but if it had once got head way an extensive conflagration would have ensued, as the square contains a large number of inflammable struct ures. The house is owned by Mr. J. H. Beckman and is occupied qy Mr. Chris Stafford and family. We con gratulate them on their narrow es cape. South Carolina Railway Charges.

We learn tffat Mr. L. G. Beatse, the accomplished Belgian Artist, who has made his home among us for several years past, has purchased thirteen i u acres of that most desirable property ] d known as Orange Grove, late the f ril property of estate of W. G. Fargo, but more recently tbe property J. Zed Dunlap, Esq. South Boundary street will be extended, and Mr. Beatse has laid off the tract in beautiful building This well known and highly es teemed citizen peacefully breathed his last on Sunday night, the 18th of January, 1885, at his residence three and a half miles from Aiken, after a short illness, in the eighty-first year of his age. Mr. William G. Mood was a native of Charleston, and at a very early age engaged in mercantile pursuits, first when a mere boy as a clerk on King Street, and afterwards as an active partner in the old and well known firm of Andrew McDowell & Co., a large wholesale house on East Bay, which did an immense trade with the rice and cotton planters of the low country. In 1853 he retired from bu siness and moved to Aiken, where he has lived ever since, actively engaged as a cultivator of the soil. His farm near Aiken, which is appropriately named I’eaeedale, will bear testimony to his enlightened methods and sys tematic work. He had been an earn est and active member of tbe Metho dist Episcopal Church for sixty years, and was one of those mainly instru mental in the building of tbe Aiken Methodist Episcopal Church. During the late Confederate war he was an enthusiastic supporter of the Confed erate cause, ami though long past the age when he could otter the aid of his own right arm, yet lie freely invested his savings of long years of honest toil in the bonds of the Confederacy. The result was that he lost all; but with patience and uncomplaining Christian fortitude he pursued the even tenor of his way, bearing his losses like a philosopher and all the more earnestly plying his avocation as a farmer, and succeeded in obtain ing from the soil an ample income for his retired mode of life. His manner of life w as singularly quiet, unassu ming and blameless, bis manners gen tle aud kind, and within his breast be bore a heart which throbbed with a quick and generous response to the troubles of friend or neighbor, lu- very death is an illustration of the line texture of the sensibilities aud sympathies of this kind-hearted Christian gentleman. On Friday, the 16th of January, Earnest, the infant sAi of Mr. F. S Rankin, (who, under . ,. ., | » his direction, has been the active aud lots, most eligibly wtuatei for eouve- fa;ihful business manager of his farm He proposes to lots to ajyproved His idea iiience and health, sell a few of these parties who desire to build, is to sell to such as will help to make this desirable property a pleasant neighborhood. Those wishing nice lots, well drained and conveniently located would do well to apply to Mr. L. G. Beatse, at once at his studio, at Orange Grove. Clay A Hines have the handsomest clothing store in South Carolina. A visit will repay all trouble. It is no trouble to show goods, and the very best attention is shown to every vis itor. ^ for a number of years) breathed his last about 1 p. m. During the illness of this child Mr. Mood manifested in tense interest and sympathy, and was present at its death, w hich so wrought upon his feelings that he retired to his residence a few' steps off, where in an hour afterwards he was visited by Dr. T. G. Croft and induced to go to bed. From this time he gradually sunk, and breathed his last on Sunday night, the 18tli of January, at 10 o’clock. Thus it will be seen that the silver chord of life was broken by his intense sympathy for the affliction of a faithful friend. Such an end was en tirely In keeping with the gentle, up- The Southern Cultivator. We are in receipt of the January number of this sterling Agricultural Journal. It has been changed in form, being made more compact— magazine size—and can be handled with greater satisfaction and preserv ed in better condition than the old form. This issue numliers over seventy pages, and in quantity it is ahead of any agricultural publication that comes to ourottice while in quality it is the only journal of its kind that is fully adapted to the needs of our Southern farmers. The very best Southern talent is employed in its columns. The “Thoughts for the Month,” and the “Inquiry Depart ment,” are alone, w r orth the subscrip tion price. The paper has pages for special departments of farm work, and they are full and interesting. Without enumeration of the excel lencies of this magnificent journal, we advise each aud every one not a subscriber, to seud $1.50 to Jas. P. Harrison A Co., Atlanta, Ga., for a year’s subscription.

The Ladies Out in Force—150 Persons Present—A Bountiful Repast— Speeches by Several Oeiitleineu, and a very Pleasant Evening. On Thurday evening last, in re sponse to an* invitation from the Aiken Lodge, No. 156 A. F. M., we winded our way to the Park Avenue Hotel, where we found the members of this noble craft assembled in force together with a large number of ladies and other invited guests, numbering in all about 150 persons. The Lodge usually celebrates St. John’s day in the month of December with a social reunion, but owing to unavoidable cir cumstances the enjoyable occasion was differed until January 15th. About 9 o’clock, a rap from Wor shipful Master, H. B. Burckhalter, was ft'lliiwrd 1 i 1 V ‘ T1 to take seats at the bountifully spread tables, which order was soon cheerfully obeyed. We understand that the re freshments provided were all prepared by tbe members of the Lodge and their families, and we can testify from personal observation and experience, that the gastronomic part of the en tertain ment was a most complete success, reflecting great credit upon the) committee charged with the preperations. It w r as strictly a temperance ban quet, the only beverage being fragrant coffee, which refreshes the brain and invigorates the body without those demoralizing effects which often cause the festive board to be remembered with regret. After due attention had been be stowed upon the creature comforts of life, the Hon. Jas. Aldrich, at the re quest of Mr. H- B. Burckhalter, the Worshipful Master of the Lodge, rose and made a most graceful and Clay St Hines’ New Departure. Feeling that a first-class shoe store is much needed in Aiken, these gen tlemen have opened such a business at the old stand of the Aiken Clothing Bazaar. It is a well known fact that any special business offers greater in ducements in every way than those that do not confine themselves to any special line. The Aiken Shoe Em porium is prepared to show the hand somest and most extensive stock of shoes in the country, and also the cheapest. They keep every class of goods, from the cheapest brogau to the finest handmade work, and also for all kinds of people. They ask of the ladies of Aiken special attention to their line of fancy and hand-made goods. A Fasting Girl. In Cincinnati a sixteen-year-old girl recently died after a fast of fifty-two days. She had been attacked by some thing like paralysis which rendered it impossible for her to take nourish ment. The human system cannot thrive without good food and good ability to digest it. Weak and im paired digestion is rectified by Brown’s Iron Bitters—better than any other tonic in the world. Mr. J. E.

Chas. E. R. Drayton, W. Q. Davis, D. 8. Henderson, Henry Hahn, O. C. Jordan, and Dr. B. F. Wyman, each of whom made short and appro priate addresses, which were received with generous applause by an audi ence that had assembled for the pur pose of banishing business cares and enjoying an evening of genuine social pleasure. Mr. Hahn, who is familiarly known under the nom de plume of “81am- merhaussen,” made some humorous remarks which, as usual, brought down the house. By some accident, Mr. John T. Gaston, notorious as a funny man, escaped the eye of Mr. Aldrich, which w-as afterwards very much regretted, because he is one of those mirthful individuals who can always contribute to the hil&rity of the festive board. After a very pleasant evening the company dispersed at a reasonable hour, carrying away with them many agreeable recollections of the occa sion. We are pleased to learn that the Lodge is in a prosperous condition and likely to increase its numbers in the near future. The presence of a Masonic Lodge in any community may be regarded as a conservative factor in the general interests of so ciety, and when the glorious deeds of the noble craft are remembtred we cannot but express our most sincere wishes lor the continued prosperity and usefulness of Aiken Lodge No. 156 A.
