Do all you can as well as you can and as often as you can, when its work in a good cause. There's a man in town who says he neither likes ice(cicles) nor bicycles on the sidewalks. Mr. Louis Cabot and family are ex pected in a day or two from Boston, and will occupy Mrs. Morrison’s cot tage on Hayne avenue. Last week >tr. Luther Eubanks, of Aiken county, was married to Miss Jessie Green, of Barnwell county, at the residence of Mr. Judson Green. Worthy of note is the splendid im- E rovement of the Columbia Evening .ecord. We can’t recall when Colum bia has had a better evening paper. A cold winter is generally attended by much rain or other forms of hu midity. If weather such as we have recently had keeps up there will soon be no lack of water in the wells. Faithful firemen are among the best ublic benefactors. We thought of ours ast Wednesday night and they had our sympathies, but we didn’t feel ready at that particular time to turn out to wit ness their good work. It is probable that when some of the large counties in South Carolina don’t want to give off slices to form a new county to bear the .name of Calhoun, they will not readily do the favor for a county of any other name. The Very Rev. E. N. Joyner, arch deacon of the diocese for the colored mission work, was in Aiken Sunday and Monday, and assisted in the morning service and preached in St. Thaddeus church on Sunday. The little golden bells are perhaps the first bloomers of the season among thefiowers. We noticed some that were thoroughly iced over. By the combina tion of freeze and flowers a happy blend of winter and spring seemed to be sug gested. ■( Senator Hale, of Maine, was elected at the recent election for the fifth term of six years each in the United States Senate. If Jhe serves out his term he will equal Thomas Benton of Missouri, who served 30 years, the longest period heretofore recorded. The congregation of St. John’s Epis copal church, Florence, have decided to extend a call to Rev. A. E. Cornish, of Charleston, to become their rector. A cofnmittee will call on Mr. Cornish at once to present the wishes of the member and-congregation of St. John’s. —News and Courier. spapers last Sunday item about the Rev missing, as he had a E.

Fortunately the weather while still cold was bright and fine. Aiken is quiet. In fact, except for a .-little set, Aiken is always quiet. It is •otherwise the retreat of invalids, who ;go there for the benefit of the dry cli mate and the scent of the pines. In 'the set which dominates Aiken socially 'there is no attempt to do anything elsr to lead the simple life, according to its lights.—New York Times. It appears that difficulties increase in the opening of vlrs. \' ilson’s Union Bank and Trust Company for business >in Aiken, as the contents of the bank ing room are steadily being depleted.

His first wife was a Miss Rush ot Philadelphia.

D. Curier*. On last Saturday an examination was held by Postmaster Carmen for two rural delivery carriers; one for the route from Salley r , and one for that from Perry. The candidates were Mike D. Corbett, C. P. Fanning, Howell J. Salley, Oscar J. Salley, Jno. H. Brodie, Howell W. Cooper, of Salley ; and W. C. Vaun and Curtis S. Hutto, of Perry. ■Mtinc if Bmt4 of Control. The County Board of Control held a meeting at the Courthouse on Friday, and among other things tabulated the rales of liquor by the county dispen saries for the month of January. sThe following are the net profits of the dif ferent dispensaries ; Aiken dispensary $1,044.44 "Wagenerdispensary 143.52 Salley dispensary . 186.33 Courtney’s beer dispensary 37.30 Kennedy’s beer dispensary 24.50 night. Present, the Mayor, and Aider- men Thorpe, Busch, Wyman and Som mer. The finance committee reported cash on hand $572.12; that they had paid $1000 of school bonds and all interest on bonds, and all bills and pay rolls to 11th February; that the Park commis sion had asked for $600 annually, as the mill levy did not quite realize that sum, and they recommended its appro priation. This recommendation was adopted by council. Mayor Salley appointed Messrs. H. E. Pellew and C. B. Soutter members of the park committee. The police committee reported for the month of January: 59 arrests, 50 convictions, 9 discharges, and $178 fines collected. The street committee stated that they had secured two good mules for $350, giving one mule in the trade ; that the roadway on the north side of Rich land avenue, beyond Lancaster street had been clayed, and a portion of Flor ence street; and the Whiskey road hac been worked over, but work had been interfered with by the bad weather. Upon recommendation of the print ing committee $150 was appropriated $50 available at once, and $50 on 1st March, and 1st April—to Mr. Stead man Weathersbee to aid in the circula tion of his weekly publication, “Aiken Life,” he to deposit 50 copies of each issue with the city clerk, and to circu late 150 to bona fide parties in different states. He also to give the space on the outside back of the publication to the city council for such advertising matter as may be desired. The health committee reported the health of the city as good; that only three smallpox patients arc now in the pest house, and they are nearly well, and will be quite w’ell and be discharg ed this week. On motion of Alderman Thorpe it was resolved that the chief of the fire department endeavor to improve the status of the fire department and issue a public call for that purpose ; that the committee be directed to ascertain the condition of the property of the depart ment, and take such action as they may think advantageous; that a better alarm system bt^obtained. and an ea sier way of ringing the alarm bell be arranged. On motion of Alderman Busch the annual sum of $200 was appropriated to the Eustis Park commission. The waterworks committee reported that the agreement had been conclud ed, as directed, w’ith Mr. W. H. Bar nard as to the sewer to his place. On motion of Alderman Wyman the salary of the health inspector was fixed at $40 per month. After the approval of the usual bills council adjouaned. Aa AgmaM* Kyitieal Sapper. On Tuesday night the Aiken lodge of the Fraternal Mystical Circle gave their second annual supper, in the Masonic rooms, to which some of their friends had the pleasure of invitations. Plates were set for about 36, and after enjoy ing the goods things set before them, all repaired to the hall, where an hour was spent in agreeable conversation and hearing a few appropriate remarks from several of those presen . This secret society is one that has )een established in Aiken for only a few years, but is on a solid basis. Like other secret orders of its kind it is fra ternal in its character, and with a very iberal insurance feature is undoub tedly productive of much good. Th« Coldest Weather Yet. We hoped that after the cessation of the cold weather of January, and the irst week of this month, that we were done with the severe cold for this win ter ; but this has not been so, as this week we have had the coldest weather of the winter. After the incessant ruin on Saturday «x> J3dtujday the weather 1 cleared, and the temperature began to fall, and continued to fall until on Tuesday morning at daylight the ther mometer marked 10°. And all day Tuesday it did not moderate much, and on Wednesday morning the tempera ture was at — °. This has certainly been an unusually severe winter, There have been more spells of intensely cold weather than usually falls to our share. But it has not been confined to this section, but has covered the whole country from Canada to the Gulf. Tin Old T»wn Hall Homed. On Wednesday night at about nine o’clock fire broke out in the roof and cupola of the old town hall and com pletely destroyed the roof and gutted the second floor On account of the very damp condition of the neighbor ing buildings and the promptness of the firemen on the spot, with an abundance of water, the fire was confined to the roof. The fire is supposed to have caught from some defect in the stove flue or from the electric wires. During all the morning of that day a magis trate’s preliminary trial was being held in the hall, and as the weather was very cold a hot fire was kept in the stove. The old hall was one of the oldest buildings in Aiken, It stood in the middle of Laurens street from a time when the memory of no man now in Aiken runs to the contrary, and about twanty-five years ago was moved to where what is left of it now stands. There was $1000 insurance on the building. A Trial Jutio V«rw4 in Ua Law. Apropos of the reconstruction period the writer w’as residing in Summerville about 1869, and ignorant of the town law against cutting down pine trees, had five cut down on his lot. The next morning a i egr • constable called on him with a summons to appear before the negro tri. 1 justice. Upon his ap pearance the justice said: “Mr. , you have been reported for cutting down five pine trees. The fine is $5 for each tree, making $25. What have you got^to say?” The writer replied, “Well, Justice, I have only to say that I did not know of the law, or I would not have violated it.” “Well,” the trial justice replied, “then a man can’t be expected to obey it, and can not be punished. You are dis charged.” “Thank you,” the writer replied, “that is good law, and I am glad to see we have a trial justice in Summerville who is so well versed in the law ” Tint’s Pills This popular remedy never falls to * effectually cure Dyspepsia, Constipation, Sick Headache, Biliousness And ALL DISEASES arising from a Torpid Liver and Bad Digestion The natural result Is good appetite nad solid flesh.
