Very Young Effort. « | On Friday evening last^lie citizens : of Aiken were favor?*] by the appear-1 I ance of the Broom Brigade, composed j ; of 8 fascinating youug'ladies, at the' j Lyceum Hall, for the benefit of the j i funds of the Bapt ist Church. The en-! ! tertainmeut wa* opened by a tableau | ! which representeii the brigade on a i c impiug expedition. Several of tlu j feminine soldiers were in the midstof' a pleasuiit game of cards, seven-up in appearance, but at tf»e roil of the drum by Master N. C. War pole, the soldiers spraug to arms and prepared for the drill. The drill was very in teresting and amusing, and was con ducted br their C a Pt*ini Mr Larny Oakley. ' After the broom brigade re tired from the stage, a small detach- iqent of' the palmetto Rifles were drilled. The audience was next fa vored by the Hon. D. 8. Henderson, who read with fine effect the response to a toast “The Baby,” which was de livered before a regiment of flip Army of Tennessee. After tbjs there was an intermission of twenty minutes for refreshments, during which the labl6s were liberally patronized. We were next favored with a recitation by Mr. Walter Ashley, a flourishing young lawyer of bur town,'after wljich an other recitvilixii was given by Mr. Thomas Morgan, a student in the office of Messrs. Henderson Brothers. The Broom Brigade and the ^Phl- metto Rifles were then assembled on the stage to coiffpeftf In apprize drill. The Palmettoes, of course, 'muds complete failure, and the ladies were victorious. The prize has not yet arrived from Augusia/bUt‘frheVi ft'does, it will be awarded to the Broom Brigade. The kiidienee was large, and the re ceipts for ticket’s'of admission and the sale of refreshments will be an ac ceptable addition to the funds of the Aiken Baptist Church. The enter tainment was a success and was great ly enjoyed by all. W. H. D.

On Sunday morning last at tl Aiken Baptist Church, the Rev. Li cius Culhbert preached to a large con gregation, from the ' text : ( “That ye should do that which is honest,” found in verse 7 chapter 13 of 2nd Corinthians. The sermon was elo quent, impressive and practical. O i Saturd iy next March 27th, at 4 p. ui , a grand foot race will 'fake place at the Schuetzen Platz between Jason Spires and Arther Weathtrsbde WRh of Aiken Comity.

This makes’ the committee number eleven members and fur nishes a representative from the West cm portion of the town.

We call the attention of all our read ers to the new advertisement ofFlem- ing& Bowles, Furniture Dealers of Au gusia, Ga. which appears in another column. This establishment is one of the most extensi»’e in the South, and the well established character of the gehftleiuen composing the firm commends in their magificent stock to the favorable attention of the people of Aiken and the adjoining counties. ‘ • • Our young friend, T.

' Aiken County Auxilliary Bible Society A meeting of the above society was held at the Aiken J^aptikt Gnurch on Sunday' evening in accordance witK ilrevibus notice through the col umns of The Aikbn Recorder. By 8 o’clock a large congregation had as sembled made up of members from all tlie Various denominations and after the reading of the scriptures by tlie Rev Lucius Cnthbert and prayer by theRev W. M. Duncan, tlie Rev. E. C. Ed- gerton was announced by the H°ti. D. S. Henderson, President of the society as the first speaker of the eve ning. Mr. Edgertou at once proceded to deliver an eloquent and appro priate address on the wenderous utility and saviug grace of that great book of books,* the Bible, without which poor mortality would- be like a ship cast upon 1 the : «toriny sea of life without chart or compass. He was followed by the Kev. Lucius Cuthbert in Ids usual eloauent and happy style. President Hemferson next introduced the Rev. Ijr Carter, President of Wil liams College,NewHampshire,who he introduced “as a distinguished scholar and one who during his stay among us has already endeared himself to many «f our citizens.” Dr. Carter though an invalid made an address of some length, which received the strict attention of the large audience and was highly appreciated by all present. This closed the- addresses of the evening, and R resident Henderson then made a statement ot the affairs of the society, showing the number ot books purchased and sold at cost price, and slated that the socie ty had a cash balance on hand of six ty-seven dollars. The officers of the previous year were then re-elected and the executive committee sjppoint- ThefoJ wing are the officer Presi dent, D. : S. Henderson ; Secretary and Treasurer, E. J. C.

Atlanta, Ga. March 1G, I83G, This is rightly named the Gate City,for it is like a sentinel at his post, and all cqfnmeree thafwobld enter tlie South must stand and deliver. But to Tne, a* my train neared the city, there was a slight sensation of sneaking in through the back w-ay, not unlike the boy who after smoking his first cigar wishes to get hit* the House unobserved. w For I had felt that I wus already in the South, when I was In South Carolina, and yet I had not entered via Atlanta. A gentleman, with whom I con versed on the ears, spoke enthusiasti cally of the city we were rapikiy ap- I jroaehing. He was not anativeof At- anta but had lived there some eigh teen years or more. He was born and raised in South Georgia, but on reach ing his majority had left his father’s fa£m and gone to Atlanta, (then by n6 means the city it now is, having been laid to the ground during the war) to seek his fortune. He had evidently found it, for he looked pros perous, and one could see he was a man of sound sense, square and hon est, but sharp—in fact a gobd speci men of the “Georgia YanKee,” who are said to down the New England article By the way, it may be noted as a curious fact, that you rarely meet a man here who is a native of Atlanta A lady who had lived in the city for six years, told me she had' met only one' native 'born Atlantian in that time. The gentleman said, he supposed I would stop at the Kinbatl, I asked if he could recommend it. He looked at me and asked me if I had hever heard of tho celebrnteij H I Kinball House? I said I believed its fame had reached South Carolina, although the people of that Stale were slow to admit that Georgia could boast of anything bet ter than they had. He got quite enthusiastic, and while he was de scribing its beauty and immensity the train rolled into the depot and the conductor called out in stentorian tones: “Kimball House—aliem, At lanta!” ' ’ V Tlie first thing that caught my eye on coming out of the depot was an im mense’ building across the way. It was seven Stories high, had one cor ner surmounted by a small tower with a gilded dome, and Was built of a pleasing mixture of stone and brick It had stained glass windows, and all in ail, It was a beautifull structure. A blu'e-ebated knight of the club was standing near and 1 asked him what building it was, He stared at me a moment, as if astonished that I did not know, and then answered slowly and impressively: “That is th* new H. I. Kimball House, sir.” Mr. Charles Dudley Warner describ ed Boston in a simple sentence, when he said it vasneity where you could go anywhere by horse-Oar for 5 cents; Atlanta is a place where you can buy a t hrong ticket to any part of this great and glorious country. Of course the headquarters of the ticket and passen- S *r agents are located in the Kimball ouse building. This fine structure is greatly disfigured by numerous cheap, poster signs, dodgers and hand bills, elalo ately setting for h the merits of each railroad and the' cities they take in on their way to Swamp- loh, Fla., or Tombstone, Arizona. Every one lives on Peachtree street in Atlanta. Cf course there a e a :ew other streets for business purposes and common folks; but Peachtree is the street. It is lined on both sides with elegant residences, some a little too close together for real comfort perhaps, but then they have to sqeeze prettjy tight to aceominodate'aU.-’ At the junction of. West Peachtree ami Peachtree, there was recently erected a statue of Ben Hill. It has not been unveiled;’blit 'at*a private inspection by the committee it was pronounced a F erfect likeness of the great statesman t ocupies a prominent position and will prove an ornameut to that sec tion of the City. Atlanta is the metropolis of the South. It is the headquarters of pat- eht medicines, industrial jou'nrali^iu and Wholesale houses Of all branehe of trade. Dixie the latest candidate for favor, isan illustrated literary an > industrial monthly magazine of and for the South, In appearance it is li* t unlike the lamented Our Continent, and is really finely prihted arid illus trated, ami wholly devoted to tne Sou’h. I called at their oifice in the Constitution building and was pleas antly received by Mr. G. B. Douglas, the publisher, He stated that Dixie is now on a solul basis, and‘its circu lation Hgrowfhg rapidly. The lead ing writers of tlie South are number ed among its contributors, and ndex- peitse is sjrat’ed to improve where im provement ’can be made. I notice Mr. A, P. Ford, of Aiken re cent contributor. The South needs just such a finely gotten up magazine to atract attention to its undeveloped resources, and now that they have, it should be supported liberally.

The next place visited was' MfeCormick whence our tourists started inquest of some level farming lauds.

March 18.—There is a gi'.r.t deal of discussion among naviga tors as to what caused thesinking of r tne Si earner * Oregon. The Story 01 the collision with a schooner is falling into discredit owing to the slender tes timony in its favor. Two other theories are advanced; one is that the Oregon struck a flouting torpedo, and the other is that her side was tqrn open by ith explosion of some discriptiou from the inside. Steamship officials are Absolutely dumb so far as regards anything ealeuleaded to solve the mystery, but the more the mutter is investigated by disinterested men the stronger becomes the conviction that the disaster was not caused by a colli sion. —Gcvernor Lee, of Virginia, unhes itatingly signed tlie local option law passed by the Virginia Legislature, and both forces are already preparing for the struggle that must come sooner or later in each community. It is thought that the city of Richmond will test the strength of tlte parties before long,and interviews with oppos ing leaders are the first signs of the work being done. The majority of these incline to the belief that the city will vote against local option. Guanos.
