Out on the Edgefield road, just be
yond the town limits, a handsome, new
two-story house attracts the attention
of passers-by. 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

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.

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-

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.
Last week we mentioned how Mrs.
Victor Newcomb had applied for a di
vorce from her husband. This week
we see it stated that her daughter, Mrs.
Reginald H^^ard has applied for a di

TWO YOUNG GIRLS’ WORK.
A Worthy Example of What Two Industrious
Young Girls Can Do.
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.
