Beatty's Organs and Pianos.

Hon. Daniel F. Beatty, of Washington,
New Jersey, the great Organ and Piano
Manufacturer, is building and shipping
more Organs and Pianos than ever. In
1870 Mr.. Beatty left home penniless
pillow boy. and by his indomitable will he
has worked his way up 80 as to rell so
far, over 100000 of Beatty's Organs and
Pianos since 1870. Nothing seems to dis
hearten him; obstacles laid in his way,
that would have wrecked an ordinary
man forever, he turns to an advertise
ment and comes out of it brighter than
ever, He was mayor of Washington,
New Jersey, from 1879 to 1883, five terms,
and recently declined denomination for
the sixth term. His instruments, as is
well known, are very popular and are to
be found in all pats Of the world. We
are informed that during the next ten
years he intends to sell 100000 more of
his make; that means business of s2O,-
100000. if we average them at 10000
each. 1t is already the largest business
of the kind in exitence. Write OF call
upon Daniel F. Beatty, Washington. New
Jersey, for catalogue.

Decorating Old Graves.

It is reported to us that some
jackals and hyenas walking on two
feet have Of late torn up and dug
open three or four old graves in
ward two. The report is that some
idiotic chaps have got hold of what
they call a mineral rod" with
which they are SO silly as to sup
pose that they can find buried
treasure. The grave of Henry
Bray, former husband Of Mrs. E.
Bynum, and other graves, are said
to have been shamefully desecrat-
ed. If the neighbors out that way
were to make use of some good
stout hickory rods on the backs of
these human skunks it would be
nothing amiss. 1t is astonishing
that any such ignorance and SUPER
stition could find believers in this
day and time, to say nothing of the
infamy of the thing.

pie OF Colfax we invite all interest
ed to come in the day before If

DIED..

BONNETTE = At her home, in Pol
lock, La, on January Goth, 1897, MRS.
IRENE LUCILLE BoNNErTE, (neo Thrasher)
wife of DIR. j. V. Bonnette, aged q years,
10 months and 81 days.
1t is with more than ordinary SORROW
that the writer chronicles the death OF
Mrs. Bonnette, woman whose existence
reflected all that was good. true and
beautiful in womanhood; whose death
was no less than calamity to the COM
munity, the extent of which is only real
lied now that it cannot be repaired by
human agency.
To those who were blest by her lave, it
was happiness. To the husband and
mother about whose hearts hearth
stones the ashes of buried hopes are
strewn, and whose eyes are wet with
tears Of love and regret. there rests the
consciousness that happier existence is
hers, inasmuch as she was prepared for
death, because she was christian.
The wealth of a mothers love was Law
ished upon the darling babe, who cannot
realize the heavy loss she now sustains.
In contemplating her generous spirit
and charitable disposition, we are forcibly
reminded of these words, so beautifully
spoken Of another: Had a rose been
cast at her feet, for every good deed, the
heap would reach we'll nigh to heaven"
Her example and deeds Of kindness have
her memory in the affection of
those who survive. A FRIEND.

From the last Winfield paper
to hand we see that Mr.. Henry
Bernstein has secured a marriage
license, which we suppose is for
himself and some bonnie lassie, al
though the paper don't say SO.
Taking it for granted that congrat-
ulations are in order, the CHRoN-
IcLE makes it's usual felicitatioD,
and hopes that Henry and his bride
may have full allotment of life's
joys, and if they have any troubles
may they all be little ones.
