They were disturbed and I frightened by some persons coming down to the station, and fled, after getting only $1.65. When the agent came down a short time later, con siderable money was scattered over the floor, indicating that the thieves had been disturbed. They will be tried to-day before Trial Justice Weeks. The darkies of the town and neigh borhood felt it their duty to do some- thing or other on New Year’s day, and therefore bail a parade and suffer ed from a speech or two on the sub ject of emancipation. The parade was a sight to behold. A band blow ing brazen instruments preceded a motley crew: souse in carriages, some in wagons, some on horse and mule back and some on foot. Two or three of the emancipated, rigged up in some nondescript uniforms, were especially conspicuous and gavu lono to the parade One large two horse wagon was filled with mulatto children, each waving the stars and stripes most patriotically. The procession paraded through the principal streets, followed by a dusky crowd, and then resorted to the lower part of the town, where the speeches were administered. The Columbia Record says: “The Augusta Evening News is responsible for the statement that 'farming lands sold in Aiken county last week for $04.40 per acre.’ Tnese'farming lands’ must have a first-class hotel on every good-sized parcel.” We are responsi ble for the above statement; and will add further that three years ago a large tract in the same neighborhood was sold for $55.00 per acre, and later still another larger tract fetched $53.- 00 per acre; and what is still more important is that the purchasers are among the most prosperous farmers of the County, and are doing well at the business. Tke prices are not speculative in any sense, but indicate real value. At the late Exposition in Augusta, one of tne handsomest exhibits was that of the Alexander Drug and Seed Company of Augusta. This exhibit attracted general attention, and indi cated the extensive facilities of the company for supplying the demands of the farmers and gardeners. The office and store of this company at no. 708 Broad street is well worthy of a visit by all persons interested in such things; and the constant aim of the Firm is to make highest quality the first consideration, and to sell as cheaply as business prudence will warrant. Among the largest and most reliable music houses in the Houth is that of Peter A. Brenner & Co., at 840 Broad street, Augusta, Ga. This firm be sides handling musical instruments of all kinds, make a specialty of the celebrated Chickering pianos and Ma son and Hamlin’s well known organs. Their stock of instruments is large and varied, and all persons will find it to their interest to examine their stock carefully before buying elsewhere. Special attention is also paid to tuning and repairing. On the lot of Mr. H. Smith, at the corner of Laurens street and Edge- field avenue, may ao seen a stone that was sent over to Aiken by the German Government, to mark the spot where the German astronomers observec the transit of Venus, a few years ago. Aiken was one of the few spots in the United States selected by scientific men for the observations, because of the well known clearness of the at mosphere. The weather in Aiken thus far this winter has been as fine and delightful as anyone could wish. While there have been a few rainy days, the gen eral character since the first of De cember has been dry, sunny, and cold enough to be bracing. The buds of vegetation are beginning to swell, and strawberry plants putting out a few blossoms. On Thursday evening the young men of Aiken gave a costume ball at the Lyceum hall. While all of the guests were not in costume, some were, and made a handsome appear ance. The dancing was kept up until the small hours, and all present passed a very pleasant evening John Thomas, an escaped convict from the Georgia Penitentiary, for whom a reward of $50., was offered, was captured on Friday last by Mr. Sid Hollley, rear Lowetown, and brought to Aiken and lodged in jail. He is supposed to be the party who stole Mr. .Steed’s mul« and buggy. Messrs. Geo. It. Lombard & Co., of Augusta have one of the largest and best appointed foundries and machine shops in the South. Their facilities for doing ail work in their line are unsurpassed. There is a store at no. 510 Broad street. Augusta Ga., kept by Mr. Thomas Medd, that really deserves to be called “cheap.” There a large as sortment of crockery, tinware, toys &c., may always be found.

As | long as Admiral Luce was on hand with two war vessels, the negroes behaved themselves and made prompt reparation to the United 8tates; but the moment he left they broke out again, placed several Americans under arrest and forced others to seek the protection of the Consulate. The United States Government will have to straighten out these savages before they will behave themselves. NEWS OF THE WEEK. Judge Kershaw still remains seri ously ill at his home in Camden. Spartanburg is to have another I hank, and over $50,000 has already been subscribed to the stock.

An orange grove of ten acres, just outside of the corporate limits of Or lando, Fla., has been sold to Dr. Henry Olin, of Chicago, for $4,500. The Metropolis, a daily afternoon paper of Jacksonville, is a well edit ed and readable journal. Persons contemplating a visit to Florida would do well to subscribe to it. The telegrams from the North re port heavy storms along the coast of the New England and middle States on Sunday. Much damage has been done. The Biscuit Trust, of which Frank E Block, of Atlanta, was President, has also gone to pieces; as one bis cuit maker in New Orleans had refu sed to join the trust, and could not be crushed. , George Vanderbilt is pushing on the preparatory work towards the im provement of the 2500 acre tract of laud he has bought near Asheville, N. C., and will make of it one of the show places of the country. The members of the Electoral Col lege will meet in Columbia on the second Monday in January, which is. this vear, the 14th, and will cast their votes for Cleveland and Thurman. On this occasion, however, we fear these subsequent proceedings have but little interest. At Clarks Hill, on the 26th ultimo, O. W. Buchanan, Esq., was married to Miss Sophia Tillman, the daughter of Hon. G. D. Tillman. The marriage ceremony was performed by Rev. J. P. Mealing, at the residence of the bride. After the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Buchanan left for Winnsboro, their future home. The Charleston News and Courier of the 1st contained reports from every countv in tho State, represent ing the condition of the people, and the prospects for this year. These re ports generally represented dullness in every branch of business; and that the past year had been unprofitable. Such a review is of great interest to the people, and the News and Courier deserves much credit for compil ing it. It is generally believed that the de cline of South Carolina Roilway sec ond mortgage bonds will result in the absorption of that road by the Rich mond Terminal. By reason of disas ters the South Carolina company is said to have become embariassed and can hardly pay the interest on its first mortgage bonds. There are about a million and a quarter of the second mortgage bonds outstanding, and while various views are advanced as to what the outcome of the situation will be nothing authoritative can be learned at present, but the general belief is that the Richmond Termi nal syndicate will get control of the road. _ Thomas & Barton—the 4 Blue-Ribbon House. At No. 924 Broad street, Augusta, may be seen one of the most hand somely appointed and best stocked music establishments in the South.

The Georgia Chemical Works, Au gusta, Georgia, is not only the largest of its kind in the South, its plant is a magnificent one, covering twenty acres of ground, the buildings alone cover seven acres. The Georgia Chemical works is the pride of Au gusta and an enterprise that the Souta should be proud of. The factory was established in 1876, with a capacity of 7,000 tons. It has been enlarged four times, and its capacity at the present time is 40,000 tons; this places this great enterprise at the head of the manufacturers of fertilizers in the South. This enormous manufactory stands as one of the most solid and reliable in the country. The brands of fertilizers manufactured by this successful company have a famous reputation for their excellence. Airtong them we mention the Mas todon Guana, Grain Fertilizer, Lowe’s Georgia Formula, Dissolved Bone and Potash, and their Acid Phosphate, both with and without potash, which have no equal. THE DIMENSIONS OF THE WORKS. The different buildings are number ed from 1 to 14, and the adjunct build ings from A to Q, and as we h ive mentioned, cover an immense area. The works give employment to two hundred hands and are provided with mammoth scales, railroad facilities, utensils, machinery, machine shop forges and every appliance pertaining to such an enormous manufactory. The acid phosphate output with or wittiout potash, has never been equalled as is shown by the official reports. This goes to prove, however, the excellent quality and high grade of the goods manufactured. Mr. C. K. Henderson is the local agent here. Uueklen s Arnica Halve.
