GOULD NOT HAVE DONE DETER.

a Business Firm Which Has Thoroughly
Demonstrated That Their Methods Are
Correct.
Whenever depression overcomes the
financial world people generally find
the need of retrenchment, and those
merchants who deal in luxuries feel il
most While it Is true that pianos and
organs are no longer strictly CT assed as
luxuries, certain persons SO regard
them, and those engaged in their sale
realize the fact to greater or less
extent.
During the past two years there have
been many changes among agents and
dealers in this line Of goods, but the
Hobbie Music Company have continued
right along uninterru ptedly, although
not transacting the vo ume of trade
usual when times are normal. They
have sold, in spite of the tightness of
the financial market, large numbers of
pianos and organs, and taken care of
their customers throughout the panic
and are, to day, better prepared than
ever before to offer hrst-class instru-
ments at lowest prices and on the most
liberal terms.
Tho reason for this is in the fact that
their business methods arc correct, thew
having found no reason to change them
during successful business career of
fourteen years. When Mr.. Hobbie
moved his headquarters from Lynch
burg in May, 1891. the LYnchburg Vir.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Sept. six negro
barn burners were taken from the cus-
tody of officers at Millington last night

One OF the men, Hawkins, threw His
arms about the white driver, implorinQ
protection, when ono of the mob placed

not masked, but neither tho deputy nor
Driver Atkins recognized any Of them.

The Peak of MT. Anthony

Since the Mount Anthony observatory
blew over for the last time, and that
magnificent view from the observatory
deck is only thing of the past, few peo-
pie have cared to ascend to the mountain
top, as the carriage road has long since
been abandoned and the underbrush
every where abounds making progress
almost impossible, even on horse back,
but party of plucky horse back riders
composed of Major Fassitt, Miss Scran-
ton and Miss Ely of New York City,
Chas. F. Sears and Geo. A. Robinson of
this place, on Friday of last week paid
this once famous place a visit, accom-
plishing their purpose in few hours to
the surprise of friends. Although there
is but small opening at the mountain
top allowing but a glimpse of the sur
rounding country, yet from the Potter
knolr' the eye looks out upon picture
of rare extent and beauty, which reminds
us of the words Of DR.. S. Irineus Prime,
as he looked out upon this beautiful pic
ture and said; 81 have stood on the ram
parts of Sterling Castle and looked on
the field of Banockburn and far up into
the Scottish Highlands from the home
of old Guy of Warwick; l have seen the
broad intervales of England cultivated
like a garden, and from Geneva have
seen Mount Blanc and the Java range
roseate in its last embrace; have seen
the sun rise over Swiss lakes, valleys and
mountains forty miles around seated on
the ruins of the Amphitheatre; have
seen Vesuvius frowning on the Lost
City, and the crescent bay of Naples,
along whose shore are scattered with
picturesque effect villas and country
homes; from the ball of St. Peters 1
have looked far out to the sea and from
the coliseum have watched the rays of
the setting sun tip the Alban hills, yet
none, nor all of these impressed me as
did the valley of Vermont shut in by the
everlasting hills, whose dark gorges and
defiles but made the sun shine brighter"

Notes from the Muster.

--Olin Scott and wife drove to the en-
campment and spent a couple of days
there.
Among the visitors at the camp yes
terday were H. G. Root and W. A. Root
of this village.
u. S. Marshal Emory S. Harris, who
is attending a special session of the Dis
trict Court, made the boys a visit one
day.
The sanitary report yesterday gave
Company K 100 points. There were
only two other companies that stood as
high.
The sanitary condition of the camp
is remarkably good. The report of We'd
nesday's inspection gives Company K on
street 100, on quarters 100, on mess 9S,
an average of 90 2-3. There were only
three companies that had larger aver
age.
AT the rifle shoot for the centennial
trophy held at the range Thursday
morning, Company K stood fifth on the
list, scoring So out of possible 1875, at a
200 yard range. The emp was won for
the third time in succession by Com
pany l of BrattleborO, who scored 81
points. The cup will now belong per-
manently to that company.
The minstrel show was success,
and drew an audience of over 1900 peo-
pie. The show was helped much by the
assistance of M. S. Taft, professional,
and F. G.. Warner, who was general man
ager. The music was furnished by the

Of interest to Bennington Knitters.

A. L. Traver of Mellenville, N. Y,
who sued Eugene II. Brown, formerly of
Bennington, for infringing patent for
trimming knit goods, has issued a circu-
lar to the trade claiming that Judge
Wheeler has decided the suit in his IA
vor, has sustained the validity of his
patent, and has issued an injunction
against Brown. This is wrong. The
case is still open. No decree has been
made and no injunction has been issued.
The court lntimated in an opinion filed
that particular kind of Raveler blade
would be an infringement, but as Brown
does not make use or sell that blade, it
does not touch the machines of his
make, now in use. TraYer's claim for
damages was refused. Further proceed
ings will be had and a further hearing
before final decree. franklin Scott of
