Best Organ Tor easy payments

Rest Organ for easy payments.
The new scheme Of easy payments for
Cabinet Organs, offered by the we'll
known Mason s. Hamlin Organ Co. has
these advantages: - "
1. An organ may be obtained by first
payment Of ten dollars or more.
2. If it does not prove satisfactory, or
the party taking it gets tired of it, he may
return it after six months, having paid
nothing more than the rent of it.
8. If he concludes to purchase and pays
for it in the course Of year, the whole
cost to him if but five to ten per cent.
more than if all cash had been paid
Dealers say this will certainly ruin the
business of organ selling as they cannot
afford to compete with such terms. The
Mason & Hamlin Co. know so we'll the
quality of their organs, and that scarcely
one will be returnd to them, that they be
leive they can afford such terms. Circr
lars can be obtained with full particular:
by writing to the Company for them t,

Shocking.

The community was startled last Mon
day by the announcement Of the violent
death of Mr.. E. w. Conner, of Browns
dale, long resident and much esteemed
citizen. During the last few weeks, Mr..
Conner had manifested unmistakable ev.
licences Of insanity, the result of brain
disease from which he at times suffered,
and on one or two occasions, to such an
extent as to require special attention from
his family and friends. On the morning
of his death, he appeared usually we'll al
though somewhat melancholy. He re-
marked to his wife that the colts seemed
affected by some distemper and required
care, and that he would go to the barn
and do something for them. In a very
few moments, Mrs. Conner followed and
u pom opening the stable door, was shock.
ed to find him hanging by the neck, fac
ing her, and so near that she could touch
him without stepping. Crazed by the
horrible spectacle, she could do nothing
but scream and before help arrived, her
husband was dead For some time,
trouble had existed between the deceased
and one of his neighbors concerning line
fences, and recent collisions between The
parties had intensified the feeling to such
an extent as to disturb the reason of Mr.
Conner. He wrote brief note to the
father of his wife, commencing her 70,
faithfulness and devotion and asked for
her his protecting care. He said that cir
cumstaaces seemed to close around him,
as it were, with arms of brass, from
which he saw no way OF
escape, except through the gat
at the end OF life's journey He
was prominent member Of the Baptis,
Church and consistent Christian so ia,
as we have been able to learn, and hi
loss will be severe blow to the commu
nifty in which he lived. His wife and an
adopted daughter about sixteen years o
age survive him to whom he was devot
eddy attached. He. was buried yesterda,
at the age of forty-threc years and eleveI
months.

that so small an instrument in size should
