Mr. Brodie of Tabernacle Tov neb ip, ■waa in town yesterday, and reports a very fine corn corp, but cotton grassy. .Mr. It. T. Bell, of Tabernacle Totyn- *diip, sent us yesterday the first cotton bloom of the season. His crop is in fine condition. Our thanks are tendered to Mr. 8. C. Satterwhait for a present of some extra fine raspberries, grown on his model farm near Aiken. On Friday last, Willie Lebby, in fant daughter of Hon. James Aldrich, departed this life after a protracted illness, an«l was buried on Saturday ut St. Thaddeus Episcopal Church. Joseph Oiles, colored, charged with robbing the store of C. D. LudekensA Son, was arrested in Charleston, June 9th, ami will he tried at the present term of Court. The regular communication of the Masonic Ijodge, will he held at the Jxxlge room near the depot, on Thurs day next, when the degree of fellow craft will lie conferred. A general at tendance Is desired. Charles E. Platt* of Oraniteville, brother of our esteemed friend J. C. Platt, lias it*jt returned to his home, offer faithful work as a student at the Hillsboro High School, of North Caro lina. He brings with him a gold medal as a premium, for proficiency in mathematics. On Sunday last, the Aiken Meth odist Church was crowded both morn ing and evening. During this week services will he held each night, con ducted by the Pastor, Rev. W. M. Duncan assisted by Rev. T. E. Norris of Bamberg, and Rev. W. Wroten of v Oranitcville. Members of other re ligious denominations are invited to attend. Owing to the illness of the Rev. I^uclus Cuthbert, no service was held at the Aiken Baptist Church on Sun day last. Having returned to his du ties too soon after his catarrhal at tack, he is suffering from high fevers- and other troubles, which prostrate him on a bed of painful sickness. We hope, however, to hear very soon that he is rapidly recovering. He is under the medical treatment of Dr. B. F. Wyman. Messrs. William Roach Jr Sons, one of the old reliable firms of Charles ton, grace our columns this morning with their business card. These gen- clemeu being agents for several lines of steamers, have extraordinary facili ties as wholesale dealers in Rosendale Cement, Eastern and Nortli River Hav and General Merchandise. This firm is of such long standing high repu tation that an endorsement at our hands would l>e absolutely superfluous Citizens of Aiken, and the adjoining counties are particularly requested to read their handsome double column advertisement, and write for what they want, which will be promptly supplied at prices as low as the articles can possibly be sold. A Handsome Compliment. At a recent meeting of the Ameri can Horticultural Rociety held at New Orleans, Da., Mr. 8. C. Satterwhait of Aiken, was elected vice-president for South Carolina. We are happy to record so handsome a compliment to an Intelligent and deserving Aiken former. * Important Change. In accordance with the unanimous recommendation of the vestry, the Rev. E. C. Edgerton, rector of St. Thaddeus Episcopal Church, an nounced on Sunday last, that here after the Sunday-school will be held in the afternoon at 5 p. m., and the second Church service at 8:80 p. m., instead of in the afternoon. W. C. T. U. The members of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union, are re quested to assemble at the Aiken Baptist Church this afternoon, at half-past five o’clock. A general at- tendenec is particularly desired, as the annual election of ofilcers will be held and other important business transacted. Miih. C. E. R. Duayto.v, Pres. Mas. Dt'ctt's Cuthukkt, Sec. Triplet Calves. Augusta Chronicle, June 12th. Some weeks ago a very line cow in this city gave birth to triplets. The three calves lived and thrived. They were heifers and should have been allowed to live as curiosities, if noth ing else. We regret to learn that the owner sold them for slaughter. One lias been killed and sold for veal. Who will care to save the twins which are of first class blood? Attempted Burglary. On Thursday night last an attempt was made by burglars to enter the residence of Maj. Jus. E. Croslrtnd, by removing the slats from a shutter. Fortunately a pane of glass was broken, the noise of which aroused one of the Major’s sons, who immedi ately came down stairs, ami the would-be-thloves effected their es cape. Housekeepers cannot he too careful in securing doors and windows before retiring. More New SubserlUors.

Aldrich presiding. Ow ing to the continued illness of Solici tor Gantt, O. C. Jordon, Esq. W:ts ap pointed to take his place. The Judge in his charge to tbe Grand Jury, call- ! ed particular attention to the repeated instances of criminal negligence on I the part of the parents, referring espe cially to the locking up of child ren by themselves during the absence j of their protectors, and a’so to the careless handling of concentrated lye, 1 a frequent cause of death among color-; ed children. He remarked that such j cases should be looked into, and aj charge of manslaughter preferred. After some further remarks in regard j to school matters and the careful per- j formance of their duties, the Jury re tired t<* their room in charge of va- rious bills of indictment. The Petit Juries were then organized. In our next issue we will give a full list of ca^es tried during the week, and such other matters of interest as may oc cur. Col. C.E. Sawyer is in his place as court stenographer, assisted by Mr. Van Patten, as his health continues delicate. Mr. George* Bates of the Barnwell Bar is the only visiting law yer thus far. The Judge announced that the hours of Court will be from 10 a. m. to 4 p. m. without intermis sion. There is only one murder case on the docket that being left over from the last Court. The crowd in attendance is not large as the farmers are busy with their crops. VAirCEUSE ITEMS. Testimony in Favor Hard Worker. The following letter with the en closed newspaper clipping, will be read with much pleasure by the nu merous friends of the Rev. Lucius Cuthbert, when we mention that it is from a highly intelligent Christian gentleman: Charleston', June 12, 1885. Col. Chat. E. R. Drayton, Aiken Re corder, Aiken, S. C.: Dear Sir: The News and Courier publisliad from your paper, of the se vere catarrhal fever Mr. Cuthbert had, while in a cobrse of rivival meetings at Aiken. Then a young lady on a visit there was converted under his preach ing, and came down and was baptised in our church, Citadel Square Baptist Church. I am glad tiiat he is better again, and hope he will be well enough to speak at the Limestone’s Springs Female College. 1 clipped the en closed from a paper, and they are true of Mr. Cuthbert, for as a man and a preacher, lie has few equals in my poor humble opinion. Very truly yours. * * Here is the clipping alluded to: “The preacher of to-day must be a two-sided man standing in living com munion with Christ and at the same time in vital sympathy with the peo ple. He gets the truth from Christ, and likea physician, feels the pulse of suffering humanity to find its needs. He assimilates the gospel to himself and lets it spring life-like from his soul, uttered with the tones of /</> voice and stumped with his individu ality.” Attention Farmers. We call particular attention to the Portable Fruit and Vegetable Dryer advertised by Mr. H. F. Warneke, in tliis issue of The Aiken Recor der. This labor saving contrivance is specially adapted to the wants of every farmer who owns an .orchard. Its great recommendations are 1st portability, ad mitting of its convenient transfer to any point. 2nd cheapness, costing only from $30 to $50 according te size, 3rd cleanliness, as it produces dry fruit of a beautiful clear color, ami free from insect contamina- Con or dirt of any kind, 4th expedition, as it does Its work thor oughly and beautifully in a few hours where it would take days and weeks by the sun process, and then the fruit would be dark and full of fly specks and other insect contamination, 5th the superior flavor of the fruit, and the largely increased price obtained for the same. Mr. Warneke presented to us samples of dried apples and peaches looking as white, clean and tempting as possible, dried by the Monarch in a few hours, and right alongside sam ples of the same dried in the ordinary manner, that looked by comparison so dark and repulsive that it seemed strange to us that fruit should be dried in any other way than by the Monarch Fruit and Vegetable Dryer. We also saw berries dried by the same ma chine that possessed a freshness and cleanlines of appearance altogether different from anything we have ever seen in the way of dried fruit. Read the advertisement carefully and call on Mr. H. F. Warneke at his store, corner of Laurens St. and Park Avenue,for one of these grand labor sav ing machines, which will enable j’ou to realize a handsome nroflit on your orchards. Remember unit the fruit you annually suffer to rot on the ground for want of the ability to market, can be made to pay a handsome revenue by buying Warneke’s Monarch Porta ble Fruit and Vegetable Dryer, Exhibition of the Aiken Academy. Editor Aiken Recorder: Aiken, S. C\, June 13th, 1885. As announced through the press last week, the Aiken High School will give an exhibition in Lyceum Hall, on Thursday evening, 25th inst., at 8:30 o’clock. The exercises will be some what varied, consisting of declamations, dialogues, songs, etc. There being, of course, various in cidental expenses connected with the exhibition, such as rent of hall, rent of a piano, and the printing of pro gramme, it is thought by some of the patrons, advisable that an admission feeof 25 cents for adults, and ten cents for children should be charged. We solicit a full turn out of our friends, and promise to give Ibem as much enjoyment as possible. Let each one remember that in coming out and paying a small fee, ho will be contri buting to a long and deeply felt need in Aiken, namely, the building up of a good school for the training and culture of th*' white children of our community. We hope to realize a handsome sum from the exhibition, for the Academy building is very sadly in need of repairs, and especially are student’s desks needed, towards which every cent of the money not used in defray ing the expenses of the exhibition will go. Very respectfully, Jxo. R, Mack, Principal. Miildam Repaired—Contract for a Stone Culvert Awarded at Auction to Dowest Hidder—Health of \ai- cluse.—Death ot a Citizen Vatcluse, S. June 11, 1885. Editor Aiken Recorder: Dear Sir: The miildam that was washed away so badly a short time ago, has been rebuilt, and we now have a full head of water in both of the large and magnificieut ponds. The washout in the railroad has also been filled up, but the railroad along Horse Creek P»nd still needs mo.e work badly. The new bridge across the Good Spring Creek, in Vaucluse, just built last summer is still regarded unsafe by the County Commissioners, who have decided to tear it down and build a rock culvert and then fill up with dirt. On last Wednesday, County Com missioners S. W. Woodruff and Mur ray, met a dozen or move men here, and after some discussion regarding the bridge, culvert, eic., proceeded to let the building of the rock culvert out to the lowest bidder, Mr. Murray act ing auctioneer. There was on’y three bids made, one for seven huu- dollars, one for six hundred and fifty and then Mr. C. T. Johnson of Grau- iteville, bid six hundred and twenty- five dollars and the contract was given him. Mr. May hew of Columbia, (I think) came to bid for the contract hut as his lowest estimate was fifteen hundred dollars, he put up his paper and pencil and left immediately with- >ut making a single bid. Our most excellent County Com missioner S. W. Woodruff, had the Aiken road worked in good order from this place to Bridge Creek last week with the assistance of the new overseer Mr. Hiram Webb of Vau- cluse. There is not very much sickness in Vaucluse at present, wo have several cases of disentery. Mrs. Edney Berry, died here yester day at 0 o’clock, and was hurried this afternoon at 4 o’clock, in Vaucluse cemetery. The religious ceremonies were conducted by Rev. J. B. Birg- man of this place.
