The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1879-05-08

Yesterday Afternoon, the 10th inst,
the Mason & Hamlin Organ Company
celebrated, by dinner at Young's Hotel,
the twenty-ffth anniversary of the com.
mencement of their business, which, by
its own merits has grown to large pro-
portions. At the start the capacity OF
their works was two or three melodeons
per week, the best of which sold for
about one hundred dollars each; their
present capacity is over two hundred
cabinet organs per week, and they are
most of the time behind orders, while
their best productions now command five
hundred dollars each, and in except onal
cases several times this amount. In
numbering their instruments they have
reached 104. 600, having actually made
and sold nearly that number. Organs
of their make have obtained an extraor-
binary reputation all over the world, and
are sold in every civilized country where
the tariff is not SO high as to be piohib-
tory. Musicians recognize in them a
distinguishing excellence in quality of
tone, the result, in large measure per
haps, of peculiar skill in voisiag reeds,
an art which originated with this COM
nany. But in every respect it has always
been a principle with them to make in
each detail the best instruments possible,
and to sell them SIS low as possible.
The skillful carrying out of this policy
has resulted in this great suceess.-BoS-

A horrible affair lately occurred at
Lincoln, Neb., resulting in the death OF
two boys. The family of Rachel Broad
well, consisting of herself and three
boys, aged II, 10, and II, slept in one
room in a residence. Before retiring
they built large fire in a soft-coal
stove, and shut the stove tightly. Gas,
escaping in the night, filed the room
with poison. Henry and James, the
eldest two sons, had their lungs SO
charged with gas that they died, in
spite of the exertions of the physicians.
The youngest slept near crack in the
side of the house, through which pure
air entered, and saved his life.
