It is the new fifteen- room residence of Mr. Alden R. Holden, who has had it built upon the site of his other residence destroyed by fire some months ago. This house may be called a three- story one, with its two b*oad flights of stairs and three large halls. This build ing makes a very imposing appearance, and is said by experts to be one of the finest constructed buildings, both in side and out, in this county. Most of the inside work is finished in oil. The rooms are large and square, and not cut up as in most houses nowadays. In ad dition, there is an unusually good house for servants, laundry, barn, stable, and fowl house. The material used was first-class in every respect, and mostly furnished by George Brothers, of Aiken. The sash, blinds and doors are of Michigan white pine. Mr. L. F. Oliver had charge of the carpenter work. The brick work was in charge of Sam McClain, and the plastering was done by Ben Miles and his gang. The painting was done by Ed Young, and is a credit to any man. Mr. W. C. Hyer did the plumbing and elec trical work in his usual first-class man ner. Mr. A. R. Holden was the archi tect and general superintendent of construction. The residence cost in the neighborhood of $4,500, and is a credit to the town. Bro. Holden is to have a grand brings Infirmities, such as slug* bowels, weak kidneys and Mad- ■andTORPID LIVER. in- His auction room is worth seeing. \V. E. Berrie has just received sam ples of all grades of wall paper which he will be glad to show at his place on Park avenue, near the Court House. On Friday morning, the 28th of Sep tember, the first ice of tike season was formed. The mild weather has con tinued, this fall, to an unusually late date. The county Board of Commissioners held its regular monthly meeting on Monday, but only the routine business in the approval of the usual bills was done. Mr. John C. Livingston, of New York, has rented the Alison house, through Mr. C. S. Wallace, for the season, and with his family is expected in Aiken in a few days. With a superabundance of the purest artesian water, and anthracite coal ob tainable by those who can pay $12 per ton, Aiken will enjoy its usual advan tages this season. Mr. Marion Bell, a farmer of Aiken county, has made a success of four acres of tobacco this year, and will go into the cultivation of the weed more extensively next year. Dr. John Woodward’s bell buzzard was again in evidence, at Mr. S. E. Hol ley's place on Wednesday. He keeps about the neighborhood, and seemingly does not object to his bell. The cold wave has taken hold of Texas. Heavy snow and sleet fell throughout the middle and northern part of that State on Wednesday. The wave may be expected in Aiken to-day or to-morrow. The Magnolia Inn was opened, for the season, last Monday, unaer the man agement of Mrs. J. B Carter, of James town, R. I. All of the appointments of this house are first class, and the cui sine is of the best. On next Monday, the municipal elec tion for Mayor and Board of Aldermej "k’ill take place. The polls will oj k City Hall at nine o’clock, and remain opeu ui in the afternoon. Lchambers ii spection party in December, at which i time “Holden’s Dead Ripe Limburger I Cheese,” with rye bread, etc., will be J much in evidence. There will be a phy- ! sician in attendance. Although there is no elevator as yet in the building, friends will find a quiet place with a sideboard in the attic where they may become “elevated ” Aiken's Carnhril. A week of fun and entertainment will begin Monday. As we stated last week, the arrangements for the carnival were readjusted, and the Oriental Carnival Company will appear in Aiken on Mon day, and during the week give our peo ple all the amusement they can digest. The carnival will hold sway from Mon day morning until Saturday night, and will present attractions and amuse ments never before seen in Aiken. The company comprises ten high class and strictly moral shows, which ladies and children may attend without fear of offense. The exhibitions will be on Laurens street, between Richland and Park avenue. Among the leading attractions will be the celebrated Street of Cairo, with 21 oriental entertainers, camels, donkeys, Turkish sword fights, acrobats, etc.; the Turkish theater with beautiful ori ental dancing girls, giving their na tional dances ; Bobo, the carnival, who eats snakes and other reptiles: Hanna, the wild girl; the house upside down ; the old plantation; the Ferris wheel, and many other £reat attractions. All the specified shows, and others equally gooa, will be exhibited on the Midway, attended by bands of music. The best of order will be preserved, and nothing will be permitted that will offend anyone’s sensibilities. Tits Evils sf Divorce.

The New York Times says: Two bright college girls are proprietors in Springfield, Mass., of a bakery which is unlike any other in the world. Miss Bertha Stevenson, a South Carolinian, is the manager. Her partner is Miss Frances Elliott, the daughter of a To ronto physician, a graduate of Toronto University and Radcliffe. Miss Elliott oversees the breadmaking Miss Stevenson is a graduate of Con verse College. To her is due the idea of a bakery which should turn out only perfect bread—bread which would meet all the requirements of wholesomeness and toothsomeness. With Miss Elliott she started a laboratory bakery. At first they did their own baking and the sales paid all expenses. To-day they have five trained bakers working in two shifts. The demand far exceeds the capacity of the “plant.” They make three kinds—a health bread, cream bread, and whole wheat bread, and their process requires from eight to ten hours’ careful work.
