The Bumps az chatham .

About the only advantage accrued
from the famous bumps at Chatham
has been to fill the town with crowd
of curious. Although the raised cross
walks were widely advertised as sure
cure for excessive speeding they have
been quietly lowered by the authori-
ties OF that town. 1t was learned af-
ter legal advice was secured that the
corporation was liable In damages for
any injuries sustained by automo-
bIlists by reason of the distractions.
Many manufacturers took advantage
of the bumps to test their cars and
use the result Of the tests in adver-
tising the stability Of their machines.

The Lauter Piano

On account Of the Pianomens
Convention that was held at Wash
lngton lately, we have had recently
very large number Of visitors from all
parts OF the country, both dealers and
manufacturers. These gentlemen
made a special pilgrimage to the Lau-
ter plant, for all Of them knew or
knew of the piano, and were anxious
to see for themselves the construction
OF the instrument.
1t we were not well aware of the
extremely fine quality, artistically and
mechanically, Of the Lauter Piano our
heads might have been turned by the
flattering remarks of these visiting ex-
perts. On all hands the piano was
proclaimed wonderful, and we were
congratulated by manufacturers who
make highest grade pianos themselves
on being the producers Of the best
piano that the industry affords.
Those who have not critically ex-
amined the Lauter or seen it in course
of construction at the factory can have
no idea Of the care that we take with
every item in every department We
go to extremes in this matter, for we
have recognized more, we think, than
anybody else that good quality work
manship in every detail is responsible
for musical quality of tone. If you
think that this is not necessarily so, we
shall be glad to prove to you that
practically it is so.
It will please us to let you into
the secret of the Lauter's high artistic
standing, and to demonstrate that it is
really no secret at all. We like to
have visitors at our factory. We never
fail to interest everyone who inspects
our plant.

Councilman Leet received a

Councilman Leet received a
circular letter from Binghamp-
ton, New York, stating that
Broome County will give a
weeks entertainment for all of
the people raised within her
border, that is, those who were
born there. These are sent out
all over the United States to
those who were formerly citi-
zens of that county and they
expect to make it an interest
ing entertainment. They will
have several parades, among
which will be the "Madris
Gras," but given on a smaller
scale than at New Orleans.
This is somewhat in line with
the Kentucky Home Week"
given not long ago.
An entertainment of that
sort would seem a good idea,
for it brings old time friends
together in a different spirit
than could be otherwise done.
