A GOOD ADVERTISING MEDIUM

Editor BEE: An advertisement placed in THE BEE of one week ago, offering l5 pigs for sale, resulted in my selling all of them inside of four days, and I could have sold as many more i' I had them to sell. My plaster is all cleaned out, par ties from half dozen different towns coming around to buy. Please give mo- tice through the same source that have no more pigs or plaster to sell this sea- son. It will save time for all those who are thinking about coming to my place, and they will not be disappointed. Mon- ey paid for advertising in THE BEE brings good returns. Yours truly-EW. c. Johnson.

The brook was lined with people on both sides for some distance and conservative esti- mate of those in attendance from New town and several of our surrounding towns, Is l50. The service was to have been held at , o'clock, but there was some delay, and it was nearly 3 before everybody was ready. The outdoor service was opened with singing and Rev Mir Davis led in prayer and made short address. He then led the converts down Into the water one by one and baptised them while the choir on the bank sang gospel songs as they went in and came out.

This Is the only machine with horizontal folding finger bars, has the lightest possible draft ever attained on any mower, contains the fewest parts of any machine made. and Introducing an eacased gear different from any gear heretofore used on any mower. With all these improvements they make the Buckeye" perfect machine. T.

1 ASSOCIATED WITH PROF BRISTOL
 | in teaching at his summer school at 1 Marthas' Vineyard, Mass. Last year Prof Hayes passed the summer in Europe
 and there studied with Prof Sbriglia of 1 Paris, the teacher of the celebrated De | Riske Brothers, who are ackno owledged to be two of the finest singers in the Old World. He also studied for a short time l in London. During the time he was in | Minneapolis, he sent number of pupils l East, among them being Miss Olive Fremstadt, who at once took position in one of the prominent churches. She has been accredited by one of the New York papers as being second only to Schalki. among contraltos in this country. When MT Hayes first met Miss Fremstadt she was singing soprano, having studied with several leading teachers of the North west. He discovered that her voice was contralto. She is now occupying the solo contralto position ia St Patrick's Cathedral on Fifth avenue, New York City. Another prominent contralto who has been under his instruction, also from Minneapolis, is Miss Emma Mueller, ,now successful singer in New York. She
 now occupies the solo contralto positi on in the Fifth avenue Baptist church in New York City. He has many other PUPILS IN PROMINENT POSITIONS.
 Prof Hayes has sent out several success ful teachers, one having charge of the music in Southern college, others locat- ed in New York state, Boston, Omaha, F at Minneapolis, Duluth, etc. Certain of these have during a period of six months study by close application, been placed by his help in positions command ing handsome income. Prof Hayes re- turned to New York, last fall, and began teaching at Music hall, where he will be permanently located. Prof Hayes, by the way, is an old newspaper man, and the editor of THE BEE was the more pleased to enjoy his hospitality, the other day. He was once editor of the Torring- ton Register and Southington PhGnix.
