Dunhar's Bells Made in England
Finest in World.

Dunhar's Bells Made in England
Finest in World.
The chime of 200 bells used by the
celebrated Dunbar Quartet and Bell
Ringers who come to City hall next
Friday evening, Feb. 20 were made
by John Taylor & Co, of Loroburough,
England, the most famous bell MAX
ers in the world.
This company has been making bells
from father to son for over 400 years.
They made the famous bell at st.
PauPs Cathedral, known as big Ben,"
which weighs five tons and is one of
the largest in the world. The famous
bell of Moscow was also made by
them.
II is notable fact that the Dunbars
made a tremendous hit in England
with their bell ringing, although that
country is the home Of bell ringing
and many of the greatest bell ringers
in the world have resided there.
Mr.. Taylor, the head of the bell
making firm, heard the Dunbars when
they were playing in the Henry lr-
wing theater in London. He was so
much captivated with their playing
that lie invited the company to his
magnificent home where he royalty en-
tertaiued them.
The same peal of over 200 bells, the
finest in the world, will he used by
the Dunbars at City hall, Friday eve
ing. They are wonderful in intonation
sustaining their soft and mellow tones
so long that the company is often
accused of having concealed organ
operated in connection with them. Ihe
most difficult compositions are given
with d grace and effect absolutely un-
obtainable on any other instrument.
Not only are the Dunbars the great
est of all bell ringers, but they also
offer an unexcelled male quartet, su-
perb trio bass, tenor, cello and Vlolln
soloist, a clever impersonator. an un-
usual pianologue artist and two real
fun -makers.-Ady.

work. Other members belonging to the
association are: Kenneth Wilson, Jo-
seph Young, Warren Lathe, Norman
Murphy. Arthur Conant, Scott Dam
rem, William Jenkins. George Dennis,
ano Lester Beals. All of the club MEM
bers are deeply interested in the work

People not being able to find the
key hole on their return home from
a ball or something of the like is
quite a common thing. and has been
such in times gone by as well as the
present, but when a party or parties
are not even able to find the door
something out of the ordinary is the
matter" said a well known Augusta
gentleman. Friday night two of the
lady teachers in the new school build
ing at the corner Of Eastern avenue
and stone streets were returning from
a Valentine party at the Green Street
Methodist church. They had reached
their destination and of course did
not care to pass any lengthy time on
the piazza as the night was a cold
one, the wind was howling and 1t was
very uncomfortable out of doors. 1t
is not known whether the two ladies
found the door or not, but there were
not signs that they did. Suddenly the
proprietor Of the house was awaken
ed from his slumbers by the loud ring
ing Of bell. There goes that tele-
phone" he muttered to himself, II
am not going to get up and answer
still the supposed telephone kept up
it's ringing for a period Of about 10
minutes. A short time elapsed when
voices were heard. 1t then came to
him that his door bell and the tele-
phone bell sounded much the same
and he also came to the conclusion
that the young ladies were locked out.
Dressing himself he tiptoed down
stairs and went to the door. Tried it
and 1t opened readily. What could
it all mean-the two half frozen
school marms had been standing on
the cold piazza for fully. half hour
and the door unlocked for them to
enter If they wished? They lost no
time in getting into the house. dane
ing about the kitchen to get warm. FL
na!ly they concluded that they must
have found the door and that because
1t did not open readily for them on ac-
count Of the fact that it stuck little
they at once concluded that it was
locked. In speaking of the affair aft
erwards both agreed that Friday night
was a cold one and that the next
time in all probability they would try
more than once before they passed
any length Of time on any ones pi-
aZza.

ScrOfula and All
HumOrs Give Way
Hoods SarsapariIla, the Great Puri-
fer, Cleanses the Blood.

There are many things learned from
experience and observation that the
Older generation should impress upon
the younger. Among them is the fact
that scrofula and other humors, which
may be either inherited or acquired,
and which produce eczema, boils,
pimples and other eruptions. can be
most successfully treated with Hoods
Sarsaparilla.
This great medicine is a peculiar
combination of remarkably effective
blood purifying and health giving
roots, barks and herbs, which are
gathered especially for IT,
Just remember that this pure, safe
and effective remedy has been tested
for forty years.
Get bottle today-now-from your
nearest drug store. Always keep it

1t is likely that the basketball game
between Rumford and the Senators,
which was to have been played in this
city Feb. 25, will take place the gath
instead, as E. w. Hanks desires to
stage a boxing exhibition here on the
night Of the 25th. Manager Carey of
the Senators is already negotiating
with the management of the Rumford
for the desired change. This game
should prove to be the most interest
ing game seen in this city this season
as the up-river team is considered to
be the fastest quintet that has made
its appearance in Augusta this year.
The Senators will have Walter Daicey,
the Wassitt star. in the line up and
there is likely to be something doing
from the time the gong sounds for
the game to start.
