Fatal Aieitleiit
On Saturday evening about six
o’clock Mr. Jerome Gunter, a young
farmer aged about i"> years, living
about eight miles from Aiken, met
his death under the followingcircum
stances: He hud just returned from
hunting and leaned his gun up on the
side of his piazza, when his attention
was attracted by the discharge of a
gun in the neighborhood of his house
when he hurriedly seized his gun to! The attendance ut Mr..I It Mack’s

amount of breaking up and moving,
and the usual amount of confusion
and uncertainty. There is auotker
disadvantage attending this change—
employers and employesarestrangers
to each oilier and it takes a consider
able tune toadju.sl the grooves so that
both parties can unie:stand each

.jreat hurry to lieai.i work or to m ike
contracts, lurking for better place.-, so
that January will be gone before ev
erything is adjusted and work begun,
rims the time th. t should tie devoted
to ge.ting ready for and commencing
work on the farm is lost, and till these
preliminaries have to tie gone through
when the farm work should be under
full headway. As a general rule very

discharged into his left side, causing
death in less than one hour. He was
perfectly conscious to the end and he
died before medical assistance could

Sudden Death.
p- Mx. Samuel K. Lyon, a w ell known
lawyer of New York, w ho has been
wintering in Aiken with his fan.il\
for a number of years, died suddeiil.N
on Thursday last, January -Oth, at In?
residence in this town. Mr. Lyon had
airived in Aiken only the day previ
ous, and on the nioruimr of his death
was out rilling for a couple of hour>.
apparently in perfect health. About
dinner tini • he complained of feeling
unwell, and after dinner lie retired to
his room and soon after tlie mdse of a
fall was heard, and when reached lo
Ids family he was found in an insensi
ble condition. Dr. \V. H. Gc< l(ling>
was sent for, but death ensued he Con
his arri/al. Death is supposed to hav«
been caused by a stroke of appoplexy.
His body was embalmed and taker

Mr. Lyon was highly esteemed i»\

A Suggest ion. •
In order to build up a substantia!
and well organized tire department
we suggest that every male citizen o
Aiken bet ween the a res of i-S and 4
enroll Ids name as an active memhe.
of the fir« department, a id that ihost
belwei u the ages of 41 and (i ) enroll a
alarm members. \Ve further suggest
that a ham! engine he purchased am
manned by an organized eompany <>
our colored citizens, and that a specia
detail be placed in charge of the U'»ol-
and ladder apparatus, so that it ma\
be used with promptness on ativ
emergency. With the mayor as tin
cx offio/n* chief ami some such pro
vision a*. - suggested above, our steam
fire engine would have a better ehamu
to do good work. As il now stand?
i mir dependence, is in this om
inacliine. wbieh has paid for itseii
better, and better results would crown
tlie year’s work. Doth parties would
