their way rejoicing.
PRESBYTERIAN SUNDAY-SCHOOL.
The children of the Presbyterian

under the auspices of the Hon. D. tS.
Henderson, superintendent of the
8abbath-schooi, assisted by Messrs.
P. A. Emanuel, W. M. Hutson, L. C.
Ligon and W. H. Townsend. The
hall was well, filled by parents and
friends, including those of other de
nomination?, and taken altogether, it
was a most delightful and interesting
occasion. ^
BAPTIST SUNDAY-SCHOOL.
On Christmas night the Baptist
church was filled to overflowing with
persons anxious to see what Santa
Claus had brought for tiie children
of this congregation. The church was
tastetuliy decorated,«nd a beautiful
tree laden with presents stood in
front of the pulpit, which at the right
moment was brilliantly illuminated
with smail wax caudles. The exer
cises were commenced with a prayer
by the pastor, Itev. L. Cuthbert, then
followed some excellent singing,with
M iss Eunice Brow n at the o.g iii, sup
ported by a strong choir of weil-lttued
voices, in the ntefvais hetwe n the
singing the audience was entertained
by responsive readings, led by the
superintendent of the Sunday-school,
Mr. C. K. Henderson. After this tin-
Itev. *Mr. ChlUb irt delivered a short
aivi pitfueing auchess,. and the it fol

the weather was unfavor
able, thirteen gentlemen in their car
riages, appeared in iroiit of Croft’s
Block bent on paying their New Year
respects to the ladies. The three car
riages contained the following gentle
men—Messrs, H. Stevenson, W.
Asiiley, H. Jackson, J. (Tool and and
Dr. A.-hiej—Messrs. J. Fair, Ransey,
J. Mon ay, and W. Townsend, and
.Slissrs. J. & T. Morgan, J. Cliatfield
an<i \V. Penick, all of whom the
writer ihinks spent a very pleasant
afternoon.
The ladies appeared in party cos
tume, and feceived as follows—Misses
Bardeen and Johnson at Dr. Bar
deen’s residence, .Misses Edzertou, at
th" residence of Itev. Mr. Edgerton,
Misses Kavanel and Mahan, at the
residence of 31r. II. W. Kavanel,

man’s residence. Miss Percival. at
home, Mis>es Hammond, at the resi
dence of Mr. D. 8. Henderson and
M Gs Ambereronibie at home.
The wilier feels a delicacy in pay
ing the ladies such a public compli
ment, but he cannot refrain from say
ing that they ulf looked exceedingly
sweet and pretty, and waited upon
their callers w ith charming grace. It
was gratifying to note that the re
freshments were of a strictly temper
ate character, coflee and chocolate
being the predominent “liquors”
offered lor refreshment of the “inner
man”
felt want, and will be similar to the
one gotten up bv* the same gentleman
on Western North Carolina. Mr.
Helper is stopping at the Highland
Park Hotel, and will remain in Aiken
for two or three da vs. We bespeak
for him the courteous attention of any
of our citizens to whom he may ap
peal for information.

The Methodists came lust with their
Christmas tree festivities, the event
not taking place until Tuesday even
ing, December 28, but for elaborate- ^
ness of decoration, variety of enter
tainment and the intrinsic value ol
the presents, it surpassed all others.
At an early hour the church was
owded li»m vestibule to ali-ar ami
‘»nrgffoundTibor fb gallery, and ah
were unstinted in their praise of the
beautiful scene presented. Every
-ST
• Irt
portion of the church was elaborately
festooned with garlands of evergreen
interwoven with flowers and milt,
the orange occupying.a cousuicuous
{ dace in the picture. The altar was
rrllliantly illuminated by a semicir
cle of wax caudles, and within this
two other rows of caudles were artis
tically arranged, besides lights in
profusion all over the pulpit. Jji the
midst of this brilliancy the Christmas
tree, deitly arranged by skillful
hands, round its majestic and beau
t ful proportu ns. The presents were
ofj.coiiBideiuble value and were not
suspended from the tree, but arranged
in convenient-proximity for easy dis
tribution. To the left of the altar and
communicating with one of the retir-
hrg rooms,w us an artfully constructed
chimney in close iramitation ol a ver
itable red brick chimney, and it was
soon whispered around the audience
that dow n this chimney at the proper
moment, a veritable 8anta t’iaus
would appear who would take a
prominent part in the proceedings.
This, of course, only served to increase
the interest of the adults and stimu
late the vivacity of the children. Tiie
exercises were opened with prayer by
the Rev. W. M. Duncan, pastor of Un
church. This was followed by the
singing of several beautiful hymns
appropriate to the occasion. Mrs. J. P.
\Viatitersbee presided at the organ,
and Mr. Wedlliershee, superinten
dent of the school, announced the
hymns to be sung. The was follow
ed by an address from the Rev. Mr.
Duncan, which was short, pleasant
am! appropriate. After this, it was
announced by Mr. Duncan that Santa
Claus was expected to make his ap
pearance and lake personal charge of
matters.. Fo/ a few uu ments all eyes
were turned towards the mimic chim
ney, when suddenly a noise was
heard, and Santa Claus burst upon
the dPtl^hted ntidlonce 'all covered
with snow in tho person of Mr. Chris
tine 8audcr, of New York. TUG
gentleman had taken most enthusias
tic interest iu the preparation of the
tree, and afi concerning this joyous
occasion, ami not content with con
tributing most liberally in a pecunia
ry way, aiso lent his personal ser
vices to heighten the pleasure of the
entertainment by personating
haracter so dear to childhood under
t e nameof Santa Claus. Mr. Sander
made his way to the front of the
Religous Services at Langley.
Rev. John R. Dow, preaches at

Vancluse Letter.
From Our Regular Correspondent.
Vaucluse. 8. (’., )
January 2nd 1SS7J’
On the night of Dec. 24th and
Christmas day we had several rows
and fights in Vaucluse, but I am
happy to say that no one was killed,
hut several were badly wounded.
Win. Turner, Wm Feagin, Joel Fea-
gin and Joel McDaniel are the men
who got wounded, hut the wounds of
the three former were not serious.
Joe McDaniel was seriously shot in
three places, and stiil he lives and is
rapidly recovering. His father and
mother took him home this morning
He is a son of Mr. John McDaniel
who lives at Langley. Joe McDaniel
is not twenty years old vet and this
makes the litih or aixth time that he
has been shot and he says that he
will soon be well enough to be in the
ring again, Tiie article that was pub
lished in the Augusta Chronicle on
Dec. 28th gave as correct a statement
of the difficulty as 1 can give, and as
I am truly sorry that these whiskey
rows occurred in our little village.
I will say no more about ihe matter
at present. Mr. Rennie our po’puiar
superintendant bus discharged quite
a number of the party oopoern^d in
the rows. He certainly means, re
form for Vaucluse.
Mr. Emery.Williamson Sr., is very
sick and is not expected to live long.

town has been remarkable for its good
order. Three persons were put in tiie

Christmas eve, but with this single
exception nothing has occurred to j

per bushel (of 3!) pounds) delivered at Aiken Depot—50 cents per bushel de
livered at my barn, or I will exchange 1 bushel of Peterkin Seed for two and
one-half bushels of any other cotton seed delivered at my barn 2 X 2 miles
from Aiken. This seed is very prolific. I commenced using it in 1884, and
have continued it ever since to the exclusion of any other seed with most
gratifying and profitable results. Notwithstanding the unfavorable season?
of the past year, I will realize from my entire crop of 78 acres, one good 40!
pound hale of cotton to the acre. It exeellsall other varieties in the amount
of lint yielded troin a given amount of seed cotton. Cotton Irorn Peter kin 1 1

100 pounds of seed cotton, of 38 to 40 pounds of good lint cotton. 3Iy entirt

to more than to refer you to any one who has used my seed. I also ofler
