yVyHE undersigned has taken the agency for the
sale of the THOMPSON PIANO, one of the
best instruments in the market, and also for the
sale Of the ORGANS manufactured by the Great
Western Organ Company.
The Pianos 1 represent are in different styles,
both square and upright, full a octaves, and be-
sides having all the modern improvements of the the
superior finish throughout, have also three
strings in the treble and are thus nearly equal in
tone and power to the Concert Grand.
I represent ten styles of Organs, and can suit
any purchaser as to quality and price. If you
contemplate the purchase of an instrument
either Piano or Organ--do not buy until you con-
fer with me- I can suit you with either instru-
ment and will make prices satisfactory. Every
instrument fully warranted by the manufac
turers. There is no longer any excuse for paying
a fancy price for a piano bearing the name of
some old aristocratic maker-which name is
usually the only thing to recommend lt-when
you can buy one equally as good in every respect
for half the money. Correspondence invited,
and all information cheerfully furnished.

The PETROLEUM INDUSTRY IN THE
UNITED SrATEs.-A modern French wri-
ter has said: ''In, the domain of the useful
arts each age reveals characteristic tenden-
cies. In the last century, mankind had
need to clothe itself cheaply. The
nineteenth century has wished for light"
To the development of the petroleum indus
try the qualification of this wish is mainly
due; yet, while the products of petroleum
are used in nine-tenths of all the dwellings
of the land, but few of those who occupy
them realize that $4,000 barrels Of crude oil
flow from the earth every day, that more
than sc, 100000 barrels are now stored above
ground in huge iron tanks, and that ID, 600
barrels are required to supply each days
demand in the United States alone. or
this qast quantity, by far the largest proper
ton is consumed as Illuminating oil, or
kerosene, for the production of which a
stream of oil is constantly flowing through
six-inch pipes from the oil regions of West
ern PENNSYLVANIA to Baltimore, Philadel-
phia and Jersey City. In each of these
cities establishments constructed for the
purpose, convert the crude oil into various
products, principally illumination oil, for
the home market and an. export trade or
vast proportions. In these retineries the
oil is first allowed to settle in large tanks,
in which asmall per cent. of water and sedl-
ment accumulates. From these tanks the
oil is pumped into stills, holding about l 200
barrels each, beneath which fires may be
kindled, and urged by a strong draught until
red heat is attained.-Popular Science

JUST AS B1ND1NG.-A colored brother re-
moving from Coweta to Meriwetner brought
along his church letter. Settling near Rocky
Mount, he concluded to become member
at Bethel, colored church near him. 1t SO
happened that in the same pocket in which
reposed the certificate of church member
ship was also deposited last years guano
note. In handing in his letter to the church
the brother made a mistake and gave his
guano note instead. The church clerk not
being a very good reader, never detected
the error until several months afterwards.
Being at loss what to do about the matter,
he called upon a learned white brother in
the settlement, for advice. The white man
counseled that the matter be allowed to
stand, saying that a guano note was more
binding than anything else in the world. 1t
forbids him even to take a homestead
against his religion and if one lived up to
the notes requirements he thought the
church ought not to complain. So the guano
paper entities the colored applicant to full
membership at Bethel.-Iieriwether, Ga.,

Free From Malaria.

In the fall of 1884 I was taken with a case OF
maarial fever which prostrated me both in body
and mind. was drugged after the old fashion
with mercury and other mineral mixtures, but
with no good results. My health was shatter-
ed and my energy gone. My legs and feet would
swell and had what everybody thought was
dropsy. These symptoms alarmed me and I
was ready to grasp at any remedy suggested. \
friend advised me to try Swift's SPECIFIC: pro-
cured three bottles and commenced its use.
The swelling soon subsidized, l have taken the
three bottles, which made perfect cure, and
feel like new man to-day. There never was
more mertorious medicine offered to suffering
humanity. 1t has wrought wonders tor me.

Indigestion Cured!

I suffered more than five years with indiges-
ton, scarcely able to retain the simplest food on
my stomach. The burning sensation was al
most intolerable, and my whole system was de-
ranged. I was wakeful and could not sleep,
and consequently more or less nervous all the
time. I declined in flesh and suffered all the
usual depression attendant upon this terrible
disease. In a word, 1 was miserable. At last
failing to find relief in anything else, 1 com
menced the use of Swift's Specific. began TO
stomach and strengthened the digestive or
gans, and soon all the burning ceased. and |
could retain food without difficulty. L most

can be as readily healed. Take the prescribed
dose after eating instead Of before.

THE MOST PROFITABLE HORsEs.-Far-
mers make mistake when they slight the
advantages to be derived from keeping
good horses, and from breeding a pair or
two colts every year. A three-year-old colt
can be reared as cheaply as cow of the
same age, but while an ordinary price for a
young three-year-old cow is forty dollars, a
young colt is worth seventy-five dollars, at
the very least, when a year old, and one
hundred and fifty dollars when three years
old. If, however, good thoroughbred sire
is used, at the cost of fifty dollars, the colt
at three years may easily be worth three
hundred dollars. Roadsters in the North
and saddle horses in the South (both are
really roadsters) are the most desirable ami
mails to rear. The thoroughbred blood is
like the steel put into machine; it gives
strength, frmness, lightness, durability,
elasticity and vigor to the cold blood. The
bone is harder, and more solid, and lighter; !;
the sinews are stronger and more elastic !;
the muscles are firmer, and have greater
tension the lungs are more capacious; the
weight is reduced, and with more strength
and vivacity of motion, and less weight, we
have swiftness and ease of movement.

"WoRTH WHILE."-Prince Albert Vic
tor, the prospective heir to the throne of
England, made his maiden speech the 9TH
er day, to an assembly of lads of his own
age. "Whatever is worth doing at all is
worth doing accurately" he said: "Wheth-
er YOU sharpen your pencil or black your
boots, do it thoroughly and we'll"
A young lad who was a pupil at Rugby
school was noted for his bad penmanship.
When his teachers demonstrated, he repll-
ed, "Many men of genius have written
worse scrawls than [ do. 1t is not Worth :,
while to worry about 50 trivial fault"
Ten years later this lad was an officer in
the English Army, doing service in the
Crimean war. An order he copied for trans
mission was so illegibe that it was given
incorrectly to the troops, and the result was
the loss of great many brave men.
A few wears ago the keeper of a life
saving station on the Atlantic coast found
that his supply of powder had given out.
The nearest village was two or three miles
distant, and the weather was lnclement.
He concluded that as sit was not worth
while to go so far expressly for such
trif1e," he would wait for few days before
sending for a supply. That night the YES
sci was wrecked within sight Of the sta
ton. A line could have been given to the
crew if he had been able to use the mortar,
but he had no powder. He saw the drown
ing men perish one by one in his sight,
knowing that he alone was to blame: A
few days afterward he was dismissed from
the service.
The experience of every man will sug-
gest similar instances that confirm the truth
of the young princes advice to the lads OF
his own age. Whatever is right to 40
should be done with our best care, strength
and faithfulness of purpose. We have no
scales by which we can weigh or determine
their relative importance in Gods, eyes.
That which seems trifie to us may be the
secret spring which shall move the issues

MULES FOR THE FARM.-Treat a mule
decently and he will be decent animal.
The best team we ever handled was span
of mules. They had been accorded fair
treatment; and they were as trusty and
gentle as horses could be. They could be
driven almost anywhere ridden by small
children in safety; left standing anywhere
in the field with the assurance that when
you returned you would find them where
you left them; and we were never afraid
they would make too forcible an exhibition
of their good will by tickling our ribs with
their heels. They were always ready for
work and to drive them was pleasure.
For work animal on the farm mule is
superior to the horse. twill do more work.
In proportion to its size it will draw heav-
ier load or pull through longer furroW.
The span we have spoken of was of only
medium-sized animals, yet we could haul as
heavy load or plow as much ground in a
day as any of our neighbors. The mule is
much less affected by the weather than. is
the horse. 1t endures both heat and cold
better. 1t is much more Indifferent to ex-
posure. 1t is very rarely sick; it does not
fail you in busy time. 1t eats less than
the horse, hence costs less while its labor is
