Excellent Urogram Was Much Enjoyed. Grant recit- On Tuesday evening Mrs. Am gave one of her most delightfu als at the Hotel Park in the Pines. The following charming program was ren dered and enjoyed by a large concourse of people: Doris A Munley. music by E. Neyin. Hiawatha—Longfellow, music by^ Hll9r Cble. Little Boy Blue—Eugene Field, mu sic by Guy D’Hardelot. In Arcady—Egan Mew, music se lected. A Ballad of Hell—John Davidson, music by Stanley Hawley.

Mrs. Grant is a very accomplished musician and all of her corps of enter tainers are are well above tlie average. The entire ente* tainment rols a charm ing success and well worth much more more than the price of admission. Worked Like a Charm. Mr. D.N- Walker, editor of that spicy journa 1 , the Enterprise, Louisa, Ya , says: “I ran a nail in my foot last week and at once applied Bucklen’s Arnica Save. No inflammation followed ; the salve simply healed the wound.” He ils every sore, burn and ski disease. Guaranteed at W J. Platt & Co. II. H. Hall Druggist. 25c. o o o The South Carolina division of the United Confederate Veterans will hold their reunion in Columbia in May. An oflicial o der issued by Gen. Carwile. the commander, names Columbia i s the place for the gathering and state? that the date wall be announced latei o o o Dr. William L. Linder, one o f the best known practicing physicians in Union, was shot and seriously wounded in his office there Monday by a notori ous mulatto woman by the name (f Lucy Lipsey. The shooting is myste rious, and no statements have been made to tnrow any light on the affair, o o o The Croft-Croft wedding on ne> t Wednesday evening is naturally a-n event of much interest; and it is a matter of great regret, that on account of ihe recent bereavement in the family, the receptlor., which had be<»n so pleasantly anticipated will not be held. We learn that all invitations to it have been recalled. o o o The executors of the estate of the late Hon. George W. Croft are having a cement sidewalk put down in front of the Croft block, on Laurens street, in the place of the unsatisfactory brick, that has been there. This will be a great improvement, and will connect with the similar sidewalk in front of the'Bank of Aiken. o o o Barnard Villa, Mr. W. H Barnard’s residence opposite the Golf grounds, which has recently been rented by Messrs. John Laird it Son, to Mr. H. E Hooper, of London, fetches the great est rental of any place in Aiken. What the present tenant pays is not stated, but it is stated that the great railroad man, Mr. J. J. Hill, paid $15,000 for it last season. Tourists on the Move. The tourists are now going back to the North and within the next few weeks almost all the Northern visitors who have been in the city since the early part of the winter will be gone. At the railway office, it is stated, that every train carries away a large number, but the incoming trains bring some to take the places of those who ' are leaving. The present season Ims been the ' most successful of any that has evi r j been had in Aiken. The warm weather which has been I prevailing here for the past two or three weeks is responsible for the early move northward of the visit* rs, and the season this year will necessa rily be a little shorter on account of this fact. I The Southern’s Palm Limited \Ciil not be taken off for some weeks yetT i lanta, which occurred on Thursday night. Mrs Brown as Miss Badger, resided in Aiken for a number of years, and was well known and quite popular here. Seve al years ago she was mar ried to Mr. Brown, and they made their home in Atlanta She is survived by. a husband, child, mother and one brother, Mr H. S. Badger ! 1 & Don’t neglect your cough. ^ Statistics show that in New York City ^ alone over 200 people die every week from ^ consumption.

ALL DRUGGISTS; 50c. AND $1.00. John William Chafeo. The community was shocked on Tuesdpy afternoon to hear of the death in New York of ?. T r, John William •’hafee, the last survivor of fifteen children of the late Mr. Otis J.
