In nothing is purity a matter of more importance than in wines and liquors, whether they are used for ordi- naiy consumption, or medicinal pur- >oses. We would frankly say, that if iquor will be drauk, it had better be had pure. With that view we would mention tho two stores of E. R. Schneider at 601 and 802 Broad street, Augusta, as places where wines and liquors of the best quality can al ways be had. John J. Bredenberg. The Aiken Church Directory. Baptist.—Rev.

The South Carolina Railway morn- ig express train from Charleston w’as Jiours behind schedule time yes- We are accustomed to a half ^tenesg, but two hours is a luch. / ■ . ■ i mm, -— Jdward C. Rainey, the well known colored barber who lias kept a barber shop on Laurens street for several years, ha- returned to Georgetown, nis native place, as his health has failed. His stand is now occupied by John Scott, colored. Miss Campbell of Philadalphia has taken Mr. John Gary Evans’ cottage for the season. She has been for many years a missionary to India, and has with her a Hindoo girl, whom she is educating for mission work among her own people. Read the new advertisement of Messrs. Welch & Eason, of Charles ton, in which they announce a reduc tion in the price of staple groceries, and invite a trial order from those who have never patronized them. The liberal patronage which they re ceive in Charleston and the State is the very best recommendation that could be given. Correction. Thomas Brown writes to us in ref erence to the affair at Hawthorne a fortnight ago, and asks that we cor rect the misstatement that he was lodged in the Aiken jail on account of it. As we seem to have been mis informed we take pleasure in making the correction. Y. M.C. A. There was an effort made last Tues day evening to erganize a branch of the Young Mens’ Christian. Associa tion in Aiken but interest in the mat ter was not shown by a sufficient number of persons to render an or ganization advisable. W. C. T. U. There will be a meeting of the Wo man’s Christian Temperance Union next Thursday afternoon, 14th inst., at 4 o’clock, in the Baptist Church, and the members will please lurn out in full force. The Band of Hope will also meet at same time and place. By order of the President. Hec. & Trkas. W. C. T. U. Our citizens were much surprised when they looked out of their win dows yesterday morning to see the ground and housetops covered \vitb dry snow about an inch deep. With the exception of a half dozen flakes a few weeks ago, this was the first time such a hoary visitor has been seen in Aiken in three years. But it could not remain. By 11 a. m. the sun shone out brightly and soon ob literated the last vestige ot the snow king. He may be thought a good deal of elsewhere, but he is a failure in Aiken. Geo. S. Hacker & Son. We would particularly ask the at tention of persons in Aiken who con template erecting or repairing dwel lings or other buildings to the advertisement of Messrs. Geo. S. Hacker «fc Son of Charleston. This firm is among the oldest in the man ufacture of doors, sash, blinds, &c., in the South, and from our own expe rience we can recommend them as most reliable and setisfaetory. THE SECOND ANNUAL BALL OF THE COM US CLUB. usical anti Litera-y Entertainment. The above entertainment will be, ven under the auspices of the Aiken istitute at the Lyceum Hall on Fri-! ly evening, Feb. 15. The leading ;erary and musical talent of Aiken ill be represented and a pleasant me is assured to all who may attend, rice of admission 25 cents. Bondurant, Jopling & Co. This excellent Augusta firm well deserves the patronage of all persons who appreciate the value of prompt ness and honest dealing. For the past fifteen or more years, the members of the present firm have had charge of the old, and well-known Delaigle and Augusta brick yards, just ou the outskirts of Hie town. These yards were established by Mr. Nicholas Delaigle about seventy five years ago and have furnished the bricks that have contributed to the building up of not only Augusta but many of the other towns of both Georgia and South Carolina. A capital of over $75,000 is invested in tha business, and one hun dred and fifty hands are employed. All the modern appliances, labor sav ing machinery and improved methods including steam relolving machinery are in use in the yards of the firm, and every grade of brick is made, from the finest red and pre-sed to the cheapest. A large stock is kept al ways on band, so that large orders can he filled promptly. The superior clay no abundant in the vicinity of Augus ta is used, and the bricks turued out are equal in durability and finish to the best that can be had anywhere. Persons contemplating building will do well to correspond with Mess Bondurant & Jopling before making any contracts elsewhere. The Charming Ladies and Their Ex quisite Costumes. The second annual ball of the Cornus Club was given at the Lyceum Hall on Wednesday evening last, and al though it did not eclipse its predeces sor, still it was in every way a brilliant success. There were present repre sentatives from several different states, many coining for the pleasure of watching the lovers of Terpsichore who indulged in their art till the “wee small hour” of 4 a. m. \ Bearden’s Orchestra of Augusta, as usual acquitted themselves handsome ly, and all present united in pronounc ing the Bull of ’89, a most enjoyable affair, and many are the regrets that at last it is over.

ABSOLUTE SAFETY FROM YELLOW FEVER, from the follow- v ing comprehensible reasons: First—Reliabe medical authority asserts that Yellow Fever could not become epidemic iu this climate, even if brought here in mid-summer. Second—There is no case of Yellow Fever nearer to Aiken than Jack sonville, Fla., and a rigid system of quarantine prevents its nearer approach. Third—Even were all precautions abandoned immediately, the frosts already experienced here render infection impossible. . For those who wish to go further South, Aiken olFers a desirable stop ping place, until frost reaches the localities they wish to visit, and renders it safe for them to continue their journey.
