Piano Tuner VS.. Jacks of all Trades.

There are plenty of clever itinerants
throughout the vest who exc out an
existence by performing odd jobs from
house to house-re p.ating siiverware.
mending clocks, door bells, and some
even profess a proficiency in Turning
pianos. These bunglers sometimes sue
coed in passing themselves off for skill
ed professional tuners and the decep-
ton is not learned until they have dis
appeared only to repeat the trick in
other places. Florence has not been
exempt from their presence but the
owners of pianos are learning a lesson
they will likely remember and they
will hereafter await the stated visits of
A. Redeuill, who is a permanent resident
of Arizona and the possessor of creden-
tIals that fully attest his skill and abil
ity. He did a lively business in Flor
encs this week having sold six pianos
and tuned nearly two-thirds of the
instruments in town.-Florence Enter
prise.
Mr.. A. Redewill is now in this city
having come at the request OF many
prominent piano owners. His reputation
as piano tuner is as wide as the Pacific
coast. over which he is we'll known for
the excellencies of his work. He rep
resents the leading piano manufacture
ers in the United States, is skilled
workman and absolutely reliable.

A Heavy Legal Suit.

The Prescott Journal-Miner says that
]. V Vickers, of Tombstone, has fled
with the clerk of the district court
at Prescott two complaints of suits
against the Baca land grant syndicate.
Geo. F. Thornton is in one case and o.
b. Lewis ct al, in the other. The suits
in question are brought for the recovery
of 1000 acres, respectively from each of
the owners of the above grant in Yava-
PAL and Mohave counties at present in
the possession of the Piedmont Cattle
Co. and used by them for a stock range
No stipulated value OF the land sought
is given in the complaint, neither is any
particular reference made as to piece or
parcels.
From legal view it will be one of
the most arduous and perplexing propo-
sitions ever brought before the bar of an
Arizona court-a case in short in which
title to the land from the day when
John Moss had it staked out in 1864
down TO the present time will be traced.

since the order to abandon Fort

About the

The new schedule is unsatisfactory.
The ADyERrIsER WAS anxious for "a
through train between G~reenyille and
Columbia via Laurens. We have It
and IL Is a great convenience. But
heretofore we had two trains on tho
Greenville road and two on tho Now
berry. If the accommodation train leav-
~ing IIaurens at noon connecting with
the afternoon train on the G.. 81 c.. at
Newberry, had been left, passengers
from Laurens could have reached Co
lumbia as early at least as passengers
from GrocnYille and IL would have been
possible to go further south without
spending a night i'm Columbia.
vi course 1t is a miserable range
ment by which we can only arrive at
columbia at the unreasonable hour of
9.45 at night and be compelled to spend
o night before getting away. Tho States
assumption That the Herald complains
FOR The State to get in ahead of the
News and Courier appears TO us as UNI
reasonable and uncalled for.
1t must be a source OF satisfaction to
tho Herald 10 have the Register early,
II not The State, and the ADvERTIsERi IS
glad to get both as fresh from the press
as possible. The State ought to remem-
her that If all papers had an even start
for Laurens, the Greenvillo News n
Spartanburg Herald would boat it out
or sight. However, wo expect very soon
to have convenient schedules without
further complaints. SO far, tho Kicking
a been entirely i'm order.
