SPECIAL NOTICES.
NOTICE.

The beautiful Piano Fortes of GRovHsTRss
& Co., are deemed by all good judges to be the
Ultima Thule of instruments of the kind.
We cannot suggest what is wanting to make
a musical instrument more perfect, althou Oh
we are slow to admit that the limit of i'm
provement can ever be attained.
Before they had brought their Pianos to
their present excellence, they had submitted
them to competition with instruments of the
best makers of this country and Europe, and
received the reward of merit over all Others.
at the celebrated Werld's Fair. It is but JUS.
tice to say that the judgment thus pronounced
has not been overruled by the musical world.
Still, by the improvements lately applied
by them to their Pianos, 1t is admitted that a
more perfect instrument has been made
They have accordingly achieved the paradox
of making excellence more excellent. Sure
ly, after:his, they are entitled to the motto,

[For the Spirit of Democracy
Monument to the Fallen Heroes OF
our County.

Is it not time that some mark of respect
permanent in its character, was paid to
the brave men of this county, who sealed
with their lives their devotion to their
country?
The writer of this article has waited
for some suggestion from others on the
subject, but as none seems to have been
made, will venture the following: Let the
pump in the Public Square be taken up,
the well filed, and in its place hand
some monument erected to the memory Of
those who lost their lives in defense of
their country from this county. The cost
would probably be $4,000 or 81, ,5Oe,to be
raised by voluntary contributions from the
citizens of the county. How small sum
to mark for ages our yeneration for the
noble men who gave their lives for us!
Our people could look on it with satisfac-
ton. How many father whose heart
has been wrung BY the loss Of son, n,whose
body lies in an unknown grave with moth
ing to mark his last resting g-place, would
have mournful kind of pleasure in see-
ing that sons name marked on the shaft
and honored by his countrymen. The
widows heart would be to some extent
soothed to see that mark of respect to
her husband, and the orphan boy, while
he CARED upon his fathers name engrav-
ed in honor, would draw fresh inspira-
tions of patriotism, and would VOW anew
fealty and truth to his country.
Come then, fellow citizens, let us show
our respect for our dead; let us make
them indeed honored dead, and thereby
show our sympathy for and with the
mournful living. It will do US coed, and
discharge duty We owe.
