The windows of bo:h stores arc made of large sheets of heavy plate gias-*. The building is two stories high and an ornamental Iron balcony runs across the entire front of the two stores, serving the useful purposes of piazza and awning. The entire front is of handsome pressed brick, made by Bouduraut <fc Jopling, of Augusta, finished oil' by elegant iron columns from the works of Chas. E. Lombard, of Augusta. Taken as a whole the establishment of Hahn & Co. is probably the hand somest and most complete to he found anywhere in the interior of the State. The entire floor over the dry good* store lias been fitted up in fine style us the residence of Mr. Henry Halm, and the floor over the grocery store has been divided into neat apartments which may be used as oflices for pro fessional or business men. The sidewalk in front of these stores has been covered with a preparation of Portland cement, which makes r perfect imitation of stone and is said to be fvr more durable than brick. Tile Arm is now regularly estab lished in its new quarters witii a large stock of dry goods and groceries, in fact of everything usually carried by j n first-class establishment. Matt Mc Creary, Christy Hahn, Jesse Pett\ and Braddy Ott are at their posts of duty, ready to serve every customer wiiii their usual politeness and atten 1 ion. In constructing so handsome ami substantial a building Mr. Henry Halm has not only built wisely for himself, hut has enhanced the attrae- tious of the business portion of our j 10th. town. Our best wishes attend the en lerprisiug firm of Halm & Co. Perhaps the most ornamental fea tures of this unique store are the eight beautiful bracket stands and four cab inet- that line the right hand wall in lie i of shelves. When we say that (he scroll work on these brackets are as pretty as any thing we ever saw, we mean exactly, what we say and we feel glad to know that such work can be done right here in Aiken. It is worth a visit to the store simply to view this beautiful work. The rear is cut off by an orna mental partition for the prescription room. None of the wood work is to be painted, except the four mortars alluded to above, which will be made to resemble marble while the project ing handles will be guihled. All the rest of the wood work will he highly varnished displaying fully the rich grain of the wood and the beautiful work of Mr. John Laird’s Coker Spring Factory to the very best ad vantage. Messrs.

The cold continues and is re tarding larm work some. The fruit is about all killed and vegeta tion generally is being kept back by the cold went winds and frosty mornings. Corn will not come up, gardens are backward, and altogether the prospects are mu very encour aging. But the thing that is especially discouraging just now is the high price of provisions, notably bacon and coflee, and the prospects are that ba con will be still higher. Men who buy bacon on credit, to he paid for next fall, may expect to pay two pounds of cotton for one of bacon. Would it not be litr better for farmers to raise more corn aud make their meat than to raise cotton and buy it, when cotton costs the farmer upon an average o , -.j to G cents at the very low - est estimate. Then he sells at 7}^ and 8 cents, h aving him about 2 cents per pound, which will not pay land relit, much less feed ana clothe his family. But this subject has been discussed so much already without any good re sults that it is useless to say more.
