Pianos and Organs

l am pleased to that Mr.. Carl
Hoffman, of Lexington, Mo-, my nephew,
after a numbe of years in the employ of
Chickering q Sons, of Boston, as piano
tuner and salesman, will in the future be
In my employ. 1t is an axiom in the
music trade that the employee who can
please the Messrs. ChickerIng, the leading
piano makers of the world, must be a
thoroughly good workman. MY nephew,
from the hattering testimonials he has
received, must nave thoroughly pleased
his late employers. In my employ he
makes one of six of the best piano tuners
to be found in this vicinity. As a piano
salesman he should find no difficulty in
pleasing a piano customer, having the
largest stock of pianos in the west to
select from. The matchless Chickeripg in
the lead, followed by the Mason & Ham
lin pianos and organs; the Emerson &
Sterling pianos. In addition, a large
stock of second hand pianos and organs.
We cordially guarantee his work as a
piano tuner, and hold ourselves respon-
sible for any Misrepresentation he may
make concerning our pianos that he may
sell.

A GREAT REVIVAL

The revival now being conducted at
the Methodist church is one of the best
things that has ever happened in Lex
ington. Any kind of religious meeting
Is ii good thing for a town. Make the
christian sentiment and prayer unan-
imous in Lexington, and there will be
no need of Il calaboose and Jail. There
will be no paupers, no homes blighted
and no courts of criminal correction.
1 There will be no suffering, want and
tdespair. Homes, where curtains of
sorrow have long hung low, will be
thrown wide open for the reception OF
the sweetest sunbeamo of peace and
p~leanty. Homes that have been
feeders tor the gamblers hell and the
drunkard's grave, will be the feeders OF
the church, of the honest business
pursuits and the noblest professional
callings.
Give to Lexington a unanimous
religious life, and iron bars of the
county Jail or state prison will never
clash behind a Lexington citizen.
There will never be another funeral
over a drunkards bier. There will
ever exist a feeling of fraternity among
her citizens which will prompt men to
assist and encourage each other, where
now the spirit may exist which would
drag down and destroy.
Lexington may never be a town
where Christ and Christianity are in
control of every heart, but Lexington
can and ought to be a more religious
city. She is much better now spirit
aally than a week ago. Many who
were living in sin have seen, through
the teachings and ~preachings of Rev.
John b. Culpepper, the error of their
way and have resolved to lead a higher
and nobler life. Young men, just
about TO launch out on the broad e
of life to fight their own battles and
bear their own responsibility, have
resolved, by the grace of God, to lead
noble christian lives. Older men,
many whose brow are decked with
silvery locks, have resolved that their
examples in this town and TO all the
world shall henceforth be a christian
examples. Young women and old ones
have been aroused to their opportuni-
ties and duties and have declared
increasing diligence in fighting for
Christ.
The meeting is n grand success.
1t has shaken this town from center TO
circumference, and still continues.
The power of God through Rev. John
B. Culpepper has done Lexington a
vast deal of good in the last week.

Last February we published a short

item detailing the assassination of j.
L. Lamborn, a wealthy farmer OF
LeavenWorth county, Kas., by parties
at that time unknown to the officers OF
the law. Recently his daughter con-
fessed that her sweetheart, Thomas
Davenport, committed the crime
because her father had refused his con-
sent to their marriage. She is now IN
Jail at Leavenworth, as Is also her
brother Charles and Davenport. The
latter undoubtedly killed the old man,
and it is thought that Charles and his
sister Annie, who were not far away
when the crime was committed, knew
that Davenport had made arrange
ments to kill their father as soon as
they left the house. All three attended
. dance the nIght of the murder, and
when they returned home they vent to
bed without notifying the neighbors of
Whst had occurred.

Judge II. M. Ramey of St. Joseph is
a candidate for the democratic nomina-
tiOn for a place on the supreme bench
of Missouri. He was in Lexington
Tuesday, meeting leading democrats
and incidentally laying his case before
them. Judge Ramey has served with
distinction on the circuit bench, and a
host of friends all over the state want
him to dispense his legal ability from a
higher place. He is a democrat of the
highest type and is going into the con-
Tention with a strong following. His
own section Of the state will follow him
to a man, which is said greatly to his
credit. 1t Is an important position
which Judge Ramey wants, but he is
every inch a lawyer, a man and a
democrat and he would fill it well.

Spring Time

Is when nearly everyone feels the need of
some blood purifying, strenth invigora-
ting and health producing medicine. The
real merit of Hoods Sarsaparilla is the
reason of its widespread popularity. Its
uneqQaled success is its best
dation. The whole system is susceptible
to the most good from q medicine like
Hoods S%arsaparilla taken at this time,
and we would lay special stress upon the
time and remedy, for history has it
recorded that del avs are dangerous. The
remarkable success achieved by Hoods
Sarsaparilla and the many words OF praise
it has received, make it worthy of your
confidence. We ask you to give this
medicine a fair trial.
