 As the disease becomes chronic, the dis charges are increased in quantity and changed in quality they are now thick and heavy and are hawked or coughed off. The secretions are offensive causing bad breath; the voice thick and nasal the eyes weak the sense of quently takes place.

THE AMERICAN ORGANS are the ONLY REAL REED ORGANS now before the public The only Organ having REvERBERAT1NG SOUND FOX or WIND CHEST-which has the same important part to perform as the Sounding Board has in the Piano Forte (to give body and resonance of toae) and without which the Organ becomes merely Melodeon in an Organ Case. The American Organs not only have the Wind Chest or Sound Box, but have the large Organ Bellows. giving power and great steadincss of tone. These with their extreme fine voicing of the Reeds and perfect ing of the tone, make them the MOST PER- FECT ORGAN KNOWN. These great improve ments and superiority of tone and workman ship of the AMERICAN ORGANS place them in the front rank as the best, and command a higher price than any other reed instrument in the Market. A careful examination of them in comparison with others, will quickly show their superiority.

There have baan ,.to 1a ported fifty-two murders of freed nersons by white men in this State, in the s- ,u nast three or four months, and no reports have been received that the murderers havebaan imprisoned or punished In some parts of the State, particularly in the southwest and southeast freedmen's lives are threat ened If they report their wrongs to the agent of the Bureau, and in many instan- ces the parties making reports are missed and never heard of afterward It is believ- ed that the number of murders reported is not half the number committed during the ime mentioned
