THE EXPLANATION
In August, 1888, we conceived the idea of
organizing piano club. The idea was sug-
gested from the fact that this is an era of
brotherhoods, time when is recognized the
fact that we are mutually dependent one
upon another, and that by banding together
in any one enterprise or concert of action.
we are enabled to materially aid ourselves
and our copartners. Is it not reasonable to
suppose that two hundred pianos can be
bought at a much less price and on easier
terms than one single pianol Is not mer-
chant enabled to do with less profit on a
sale Of two hundred instruments than he
could on a sale Of one only9 Is he not able
to make better prices with the manu-
facturer by placing his orders for two hum
dred pianos than he could if he only bought
ones Suppose, though, that he did not save

could you secure such terms on a single
purchase, or on a dozen? Why, then. is it
not to your interest to join this club?
Our first club was an overwhelming sue
cess, but was limited to only one hundred
and fifty members. That number was so
rapidly taken we had to organize immedi-
ately club No 2, also Of one hundred and
fifty members. A few months later we
established club No. Sail of them filed
and working satisfactorily both to ourselves
and our members. The first three clubs
were on q basis of IS initiation fee and 81 so
each week, and limited to only ore make of
piano. We now organize club No. 4 on a
broader and easier basis, at an initiation
fee of So and only 81 each week, allowing
you to take any piano handled By our firm

WORK ON THE NEW CHURCH.
The Foundations Completed Up to the
First Floor Level.

The Foundations Completed Up to the
First Floor Level.
Work on the Independent Presbyterian
church is progressing rapidly. The founda-
ton walls are nearly up to the first floor
level. The work has been very tedious but
it was important that the stone and granite,
and in fact all that formed the foundation
should be well cemented and strengthened to
bear the weight of the church The edifice
will be entirely of granite, including the
columns at the entrance. The contract with
Lewman q Sons is for $114. 600 This in
cludes the spire and the columns. The
church has the option of leaving
off the spire, and it has
until March to decide, but it was said last
night that it is hardly likely that the church
will be built without the spre, To build
the spire now as the church is being built
will take off about 30 per cent. of the cost
of putting up the spire later on.
besides the annoyance and incou-
venience of having workmen on the
church after everything has been finished.
All of this can be avoided by allowing the
work to so right ahead. The contractors
are hurrying TO complete the structure by
December. The material is arriving in
large quantities now, and they hope that no
delay will result from having to wait for
stone. The granite comes from the Georgia
Quincy Granite Company. A large force
of hands is employed on the building. and
after the first floor level is passed the num-
Der will be increased

THE LIBERTY STREET PAVEMENT.
The Papers in Forty-four Cases Filed
Yesterday.

In the superior court yesterday there
were filed In the office of the clerk the
lengthy papers in forty-four cases where
Liberty street property owners are resisting
the payment of the assessment for the
asphalt pavement along the line of that
thoroughfare. The papers are returnable
at the March term. The MORNING NEWS
gave the principal grounds of refusal at the
time the papers were served on the city.
Since that time they have been
in the possession of City Attor-
ney Samuel b. Adams, ESQ.,, and
yesterday he filed them. They make
a good-sized armful, and it is considered
doubtful if auy one of them will be made a
test case, as the grounds of objection are not
exactly alike in all. The city made an
earnest effort to bring about compromise
before executions were issued, and some
property holders paid up the assessment,
while others, it is understood, were inclined
to do so, but pressure was brought to bear
to prevent them, and some who are resist
ing payment petitioned for the very class of
improvements they are now refusing to paw
their share for. The litigation will hardly
end in the superior court.
