Three ways are used by farmers

bacco for the market; namely sun
,s>cured, air cured and fue cured.
The old and cheap way is called air
cured; the later discovery and i'm

@rIn fue curing the tobacco is taken
from the fields and racked in barns
especially built to retain heat and
there subjected to continuous high
temperature, produced by the direct

A REMARKABLE Event
Probably the Liveliest Especial Sale
Ever in History Of MarshaIItown-
Eadie- Ward Music Company Sold
and Delivered Eight Pianos During
Past Three Days.

After distributing hundreds of pian-
os as the Eadie-Ward Music Com
pany have in the past few years. the
natural supposition would be fnat they
would be surfeit of pianos in the
county. The demand seems to be on
the increase, however, as the Eadfe-
Ward Music Company, between the
hours of 10 Saturday and Tuesday
noon sold and delivered eight elegant
pianos. OF course. the extremely low
special prices quoted on their entire
line is in measure responsible for
this rush Of anxious buyers.
The Eadie-Ward sale up to the press
ent time has certainly been remark
able affair and as they still have over
thirty pianos that must be disposed OF
before Saturday night at 10 o'clock, the
rush will PROBABLY continue.
