Suit Is Filed.

Huntsville, April 1S.-lSpecial.) )-James H. Pride, administrator of the estate of the late Green Connally, has entered suit against the Armour Packing company for $10.000 damages The bill recites that Con- nally was electrocuted while working in the packing house of the company in this city. Connally's death was peculiar. He dropped dead as if struck by lightning when he stepped on the elevator in the Armour building several months ago, A subsequent investigation showed that the floor of the elevator was soaked in water and that the steel frame work was in contact with powerful electric wire, forming a circuit through the wet floor through Connally's body and causing in stant death

Estimated Loss S5O,OOO.

Huntsville, April 1S.-(Special)-Th damage that has been suffered by the farmers of Madison county as a result of the freezes of Sunday and Monday has been variously estimated at from $50,oG0 to $100 O00. The fact that there is only one big commercial fruit orchard, and that being not damaged, is responsible for the difficulty in making estimates on the total loss. It is believed that 95 per cent of the peach, apple, grape and pear crop has been killed The fruit nurseries in this locality did not suffer.

Don't Worry About the Terms of Payment We Would Rather Put These Pianos in the Homes of the People Most Any Kind of Terms Than Store Them. Come to the Sale Open Until 9:30 D.
 2017 First Avenue
You may want a piano.

You may want piano.
 Would you like to save, say S160 in the purchase of one?
 Of course, you would.
 We'll, then, will you spare us just ten minutes of your time and investigate the great bargains we are offering at this sale?
 We are making some broad state- ments in telling about the wonderful money-saving advantages and easy terms offered on the very best makes of pianos while We are closing out this stock but we know the deep cut prices justify us.
 Now, listen.
 We. want to sit down with you this morning and tell you in a few plain words what we are doing.
 You see, we recently let contracts for the complete remodeling of our store, such as new ceilings, new piano parlors. changing elevator and other extensive alterations.
 This work, according to contract. must begin April 29. and there can be no delay in the matter.
 And now the contractors have noti- fled Us to get our pianos out of the way to SdVC tHGifl ITOtIl udHldge ITOrl dirt, dust, brick, mortar, etc.
 Our only alternative was to cart every piano to a storage house and back, with consequent expense and damage to the stock, or, close out every instrument at cost or less and open our new store with a new stock.
 We decided on the latter course. As we are facing a loss, no matter which way we turn, we prefer to take it in loss in profits on this stock and give it to the buyers in this sale, every one of whom will be our staunch friend, a living, talking advertisement for our house.
 That is the simple story.
 That explains why we are selling pianos at these sacrifice prices.
 That explains why so many people have bought pianos during the first four days of this sale.
 Now, then, do you want piano?
 If so, would it not pay you to come to this sale and investigate for your self?
 You can save S160.
 You just come and see.
 Don't worry about the terms.
 They will be made to please you.
