The friends of Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Hull, of Saratoga, N. Y., will be sorry to learn of the death of their litil'c son, A. Gerald Hull, which oc curred a few days ago. Mr. and Mrs. Hull and family were in Aiken last season and made many friends. A very interesting protracted meet ing was held last week at the Wind sor Baptist ChurcU by the Revs. J. D. Peacock, Jas. A. Moseley and Joseph Hair. The attendance was good, and I here were four additions to the church. A protracted meeting was held du- viug last week at Clear Water Baptist Church, under the guidance of the Rev. W. H. Moseley. There was a good attendance constantly, until the close of the meeting on Sunday night, timl much interest was manifested in Hit* services. There has been a sensational report in circulation, received via Cincin nati, and published in only one daily paper, that Mrs. George P. Bowler, a lady well kaown in Aiken, lias been captured by bandits in Italy, and is held for ransom. Such a report re quires strong confirmation before it is worthy of belief. A protracted meeting was held at Wagener’s last week, under the gui dance of the Revs. McMillion and Baggott, and much interest was man ifested. The new Baptist Church there, of which the Rev. H. L. Bag gott is pastor, was dedicated on Sun dav, the 3d instant. Mr. Baggott is well known as a most devoted worker. Protracted meetings are now being held at China Spring Church under the Rev. Messrs.

All of them are being well at tended. A good promoter of manliness and hardihood for those whose daily lives in shop or office have a weakening,— indeed almost destructive tendency towards effeminacy—may be found in the fascinating pastime of a vigorous row at Lake Kalmia, where admira ble boating facilities for novices may now be enjoyed, at prices which are within the reach of all. Every day except Sunday. The dov, train from Augusta on the South -olina Railway Saturday morning ran Into and killed a colorec man near the tank at Ten-mile Hill The accident is said to be due entirey ly to the man’s carelessness in walk ing on the edge of the crossties when the train was approaching. He was struck by the locomotive and thrown up in the air as high as the tank. Al most every hope in his body was Death of Mr. Caspar Toole. The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Caspar L. Toole and his family will be sorry to learn of his death at his home at Montmorenci yesterday morning. He had had two attacks of paral3’sis, the second a few weeks ago, which forced him to keep his house, and lately his room. Yester day morning a thiid attack caused his death in a short time. Mr. Toole was advanced in years and held in high regard by all who knew' him. Destroyed by Lightning. On Surday night during the storm the large barn on Mr. Harrison But ler’s place uear Hamburg was struck by lightning and burned to the ground, together with a large supply of’ oats and fodder contained in it. Four wagons and a number of plows and other implements were also de stroyed. The horses and mules were saved, but three goats and six hogs were killed by the flash jthat set fire to the barm Town Taxes. We beg to call attention to the ad vertisement of the toivn clerk and tieasurer in another coluuiii, that his books will be open at liis office after the loth inst. for the receipt of town taxes. The rates of taxation fixed are a regular levy of ^ per cent., and a special of 1-16 on real estate; and a regular levy of ig and a .-qiecial of 1-32 on sales of m«'r<‘tiHii li.-e. These will realize abont $3. ;3J.67. The val uation of real estate is $1,040,918, an increase of $91,004 over that of last ear; and the sales returned arc$233,- 70, an increase of $13,510. A Bad Washout. On Monday morning as the down day express on the South Carolina Railway was about two miles from Augusta, the engineer, who was keep ing a particularly careful lookout, on account of the heavy storm of Sun day night, observed water over the track where none should be and that it shook and swayed under the pas sage of the train. So lie stopped the train promptly’ and backed it off the overflowed track. Upon examination it was found that a washout about seven feet deep and fifteen feet wide had occurred, and the track had been completely undermined, but the chasm was wholly concealed by the muddy water that covered the track for some distance. It was owing only to the prudence of the engineer that the train was saved from a very bad accident. The passengers and mails were transferred across the break, which was, however, mended by Monday night so that regular running could be resumed. IS LIFE WORTH LIVING?
