day and will end November 3Oth,
1894, making just ten days to close
ont this entire stock Of goods. We
have the leading makes of pianos
and organs also violins, guitars,
banjos, mandolins and accordeons.
We do not expect all cash for our
goods, but must have Il good cash
payment down. If the goods must
be sacrificed, sacrifice it is, they have
got to go, and they have got to go
within the days above mentioned.
This will be the opportunity of your
lives, to get something big for a
little money. Remember the date of
the sale and do not fail to tell your
friends.

UNION GOSPEL MEETINGS
Will Open On Thursday Even
ing-Conducted by 9. ~.
\ n H. Hunt. &" ~

4 4 t!,-E p
On Thursday: evening a series OF
Union gospel meetings will open at
the court house in this city. They
> will continue until December IL. Fol
lowing is a short sketch Of Evangel-
list Chas. N. Hunt, who will conduct
the meetings. ,..~ "~&>' -
Chas.N. Hunts apparently IS years
of age, liz of good height, rather slim
build, dark hair, and slightly dark
complexion. He is of an active,
mental temperament, yet with
practical faculties predominoting,
which give useful direction to his
energies. The clear voice, quick per-
ception and general mental activity,
combined with earnest conviction,
make him an attractive speaker.
Mr.. Hunt began the career OF q
lawyer in 1882. at Minneapolis.
Nearly eight years ago he felt strong
convictions, as. Of a special call, to
the evangelistic work. But the
prosperity of his professional posi-
ton, his family cares, and such con-
siderations led him to rebel, or at
least to defer a'ay step towards
yielding. But during the Mills meet
ing at Minneapolis, less than two
years ago, he saw his duty SO clearly
that he yielded. StraightWay he
left his Office desk, his law books,
and his profitable practice, and took
up the work on the 2Sth of March,
1898, in which he has since been en-
gagged.
Mr.. Hunt has never solicited an
engagement, yet has been continu-
ously at work in response to calls.
He has labored at st. Cloud, Austin,
Brainerd, Sank Centre, Minneapolis.
St. Paul, and in the two Dakotas.
A great pressure of work is now on
hand, and actual engagements have
been made for the coming nine
months.
Thought an OF active temperament
the lawyer-evangelist is Of the prac-
tical kind. The emotional nature
does not predominate. He works
rather on a straightforward, business
plan, appealing to the will, rather
than to the emotions. Both at st.
Cloud and Austin the members of
the bar, without regard to religious
opinions, commended the work and
methods of Mr.. Hunt, speaking very
highly of the influence of his efforts.
While at Austin, Il correspondent to
the Minneapolis Journal stated that
nearly 1000 persons had signed
pledges to lead Christian lives.
Mr.. Hunt was reelected, at the
recent convention at Winona, to the
Office OF president Of the State G. E.
society of Minnesota, which is GER
tainly a good endorsement.
