Misses Mil nie Chofee and Carrie Goodrich, of Augusta, are in Aiken on a visit at Mrs. Walpole’s. Col. C. E. Sawyer is at Salt Springs, Ga., where he is enjoying the rest he so much needed. Mr. and Mrs. B. P. Chatfield left Aiken on Wednesday for Connecticut where they will make a visit of a few weeks. Mrs. D. W. Seigler, with her two sons and Miss Florie Jenkins, have gone down to the Edisto on a visit to relatives. The scholastic excercises ef the Ai ken Academy, Prof. J. R. Mack, will be resumed on Monday, the 2d of September. Mr. V. M. Glover has at his place a watermelon vine that has yielded thirty-two melons of an average weight of twenty pounds each. The Revs. D. H. Crosland and Ar thur Buist have been conducting a protracted meeting with much suc cess at Mt. Ebal during last week. John C. Hutson, Esq., with his lit tle daughter Bertha are in Aiken on a visit to their family. His many friends here are glad to see him back, if even on a short visit. Dr. Geoige H Winkler, the dentist so well known in Aiken, left Augusta yesterday for New York, in which city he will make his home in the future. Mrs. R. W. McCreary has gone down to Sullivan’s Island for a visit of a few weeks, while Mr. McCreary has gone to Bell Springs, Ga., for his health. Mrs. Thomas H. DeSaussure and children have come on from Mil- ledgeville, Ga., to spend some time in Aiken with their family, the Misses Hutson. A v>rotracted meeting was held at Mt. Ebal, in Wards Township, under the supervision of the Rev. Messrs. D. H. Crosland and Charlee Jones, and was largely attended The Enterprise Brick and Tile Workr, of Hamburg, have been sold to Mr J. E. ’Murray, of Aiken, by Mr by whom the works id _ r ubtton. It is' hoped - the period of inactivity will be very short. A successful protracted meeting was closed at the Town Creek Baptist Church on last Sunday afternoon, af ter a week’s session, under the con duct of the Rev, Messrs. Cuthbert and Tyler. There were four additions to the church, and much earnest in terest was manifested. It is surprising that persons who drink beer will be satisfied with that of an inferior quality, when so much better can be had directly at hand. There is no doubt that the best beer in this locality is that made by the Au gusta Brewing Company, and beer drinkers who really appreciate good beer should demand only this. Notwithstanding the dull season, the old reliable Augusta Hotel Is get ting right along, and is well patron ized, as a really comfortable house deserves to be and always is,—neat in all its appointments, the attend ance good, the tables abundantly sup plied and the cooking excellent. Mr. Benj. Terrell, lecturer of the Farmers’ National Alliance and Co operative Union of America, will de liver a lecturw in the Court House, at Aiken, S. C., on the 24th day of Au gust, his subject being the Farmers’ Alliance. Every farmer in the County should be out to hear what he lias to say of this new order. We regret to learn that Mr.» John Whaley, the popular engineer on the Cumberland Gap Railway, is about to move his family from Aiken to Edge- field to live. He will occupy a cot tage near the station there. On ac count of its being a terminus of the railway, Edgefield is a more conve nient place of residence than Aiken. We are glad to see that the Town Council proposes to fill up that por tion of Newberry Street between Curve Street and Richland Avenue. This has always been a low spot that accumulated water from every rain, and remained wet and an unsightly place, threatening the health of the neighborhood. An esteemed correspondent writing from Kitching’s Mill complains that he was slighted on a recent Sunday by a young lady with black eyes, and wishes to inform her most courteously that he will call to see her again when three Sundays come together. His heart appears now to be broken, but we fear it will be a long time a mending. . At a meeting on Monday evening the members of the Palmetto Itities discussed the question of the proposed hull, hut nothing definite was decided upon, and the meeting was adjourned until next week, when the same defi nite decision will be made. The plan proposed is to have competitive ?n grounds in ! ’ Miss M. Li. Carson has on sale at her news and stationary stand next to the Recorder office, some of the best Cotton Picking Books for farmers’ use that we have seen. Each book is arranged to record the the names of the pickers, amount of cotton picked each day, price per 100 pounds, total amount'due, besides any general re marks of interest. The books are for sale at 50 cents each. Citadel Cadetship. On the 12th of next month a com petitive examination will be held in the Court House at Aiken for a bene ficiary cadetship at the South Caro lina Military Academy. Prof. J. R. Mack, with two other examiners, will form the examining committee. This is an excellent opportunity for some boy who appreciates the value of a good education and is industrious and ambitious enough to strive for it. Real Estate Sale. The White Teachers Institute. Mrs. Agnes Kilpratrick has sold her lot and new dwelling on Hayne Avenue, to Mr. B. P. Chatfield, for $5,500. and will return to Philadel phia with her family. The family came here a few years ago for the health of one of her sons, but after his death there was uo longer any reason for their remaining. The members of the family have made many friends in this community, who will regret their departure. A Small Robbery. Yesterday morning Mr. W. J. Moseley discovered that the cash drawer at his store on Laurens Street had been robbed of its contents du ring the night. There were no indi cations that the store had been broken into, but one of the window shutters in the rear was found unkeyed, and t is supposed that some thief had se creted himself in the store, and al lowed himself to be locked up in it, and after emptying the cash drawer of its contents, about $5, had gone out of the rear window and closed the shutter after him, putting up the bar and inserting the bolt from outside. Nothing else has thus far been miss ed, and there is no clue to the thief. Missionary Appointments. Appointments of Rev. M. L.

Yesterday afternoon William Q,uat- tledaum, colored, met with an acci dent that will probably cost him his life. When the freight and passenger train from Edgefield was coming into Aiken, and at the Union Street and Park Avenue curve, Quattlebaum at tempted to climb on top of one of the moyiug cars. He lost his footing and H:^7 Aox>k, or tO ~Clie irrestdenU Manly, D. D. An institute for the white teachers of Aiken County was convened in the Court House on Monday morning, and has Ween in session since. The exercises were opened by prayer by the Rev. R. H. Jones, after which the School Commissioner made a short address and introduced the principal of the institute, Prof. J. F, Brown, of Johnston, S. C., and h;s assistant, Prof. Bothwell Graham, of Griffin, Ga. These gentlemen have addressed the teachers, both hearing and asking them questions day by day for the past four days, and the remarks have been very interesting and instructive. The attendance, however, has been very small and seems to be composed entirely of teachers, although all citi zens are invited to be present. The gentlemen in charge of this Institute have gone to considerable trouble and expense for the benefit of the teachers and those who do not attend the meet ings lose excellent opportuuites for improvement. On Thursday the 22d Inst., Col. J. H. Pice, the .State Superintendent of Education, will be in Aiken and de liver a lecture before the Institute, which will remain in session until Saturday the24th. The Edgelfedd Monitor says: En gineer John Whaley, of the Cumber land Gap, who made the special run to Columbia last Sunday in carrying John Yeldell and party, received a highly and well deserved comp!imen tary telegram from Superintendent Averill for his excellent run. He made the run of 140 m'le.s in three hours and thirty-seven minutes. If your liver is clogged, take a ta- blespoonful of Frog Pond Chill and Fever Cure in half tuinWiermll of water every night until relieved. 50 cents a bottle. Sold everywhere. —Tiltre is no grass under the sun like Bermuda, we don’t believe. As an illustration of what it can do when given a showing, we recently iieard Dr. John Sims, of Lincoln County Ga., say that he had about 195 acres of pasture land, sodded in different gras ses. Ten acres were in Bermuda grass and he got more forage from this ten acres than he did from the 185 sown in other grass. Who will say Bermuda grass does not lead the world in grasses? To prevent chills and fever, take Frog Pond Chill and Fever Cure in broken doses. Sold everywhere at 50 cents a bottle. —It is much easier to issue railroad bonds than it is to pay them, as the people of a number of townships in South Carolina have found by experi ence. The/Supreme Court has decided that the township bonds issued by York County in aid of the Charles ton, Cincinnati and Chicago Rail road are valid obligations, and Assis tant Attorney-General Bachman has given it as his official opinion that the Auditor of York County will have to levy a tax sufficient to meet the interest on these bonds. The law provides a way for the collection of taxes, and the tax-pa.\ era will be re quired to meet the obligations which they assumed when they voted to tax themselves to build the road. To cure chills take Frog Pond Chil and Fever Cure. If it fails to cure go back to the store where you bought it and get your 50 cents back. Every bottle bears the following inscription “If it cures you tell your neighbor— if it fails condemn it.” Frog Pond Chill and Fever Cure pays the conn try merchant a good profit to handle Uci gives, the customer satisfaction emium List. to Secure a Good Prize.
