Baldwin Piano

Was selected to represent the Piano Industry of the United States at the Paris Exposition of 1900, because itembodied in its construction the best ideas of the older makers, arid some ideas far in advance of these older ones. This gave the BALDWIN Piano great prominence at home. But the honors conferred upon it at the Exposition, where all nations were represented, were so many, and carried with them the decision of an international jury of 34 expert judges, that it was placed at the top of the column of high grade pianos. If you buy a piano without seeing

Obituary.

Joseph Miller Hopping was born near Princeton, New Jersey, Oct. 12th, 1819, and departed this life in this city April 13th, 1901. He was the youngest and, so far as is known, the last survivor of a family of five brothers and two sisters. When he was quite young his parents moved to near Auburn, New York, where he grow to manhood. In 1843, his mother having previously died, he and his oldest brother, Sylvester, together with their father, moved to Yountsville, Indiana, where he worked on the farm until the discovery of gold in California in 1849 when, with a number of others, he made the overland journey to that state in search of the precious metal. His venture was a reasonable success, and in 1852 he returned by the ocean route and landed in New York City. Coming back to Yountsville he purchased the farm which he has ever since owned.

On April 12th, 1870, he was married to Miss Mary Berkshire, of Rising Sun, Indiana, who was a sister to Judge Berkshire. To this union was born two sons, Benjamin and John, and two daughters, Thursa and Bettie. Thursa died at the age of three years, the mother's death occurred in this city about two years ago, the two sons and the one daughter survive. The family have lived in this city for about three years and have made many friends who tenderly sympathize with the children in their great loss.

The death of "Uncle Joe," as he was familiarily called removes another of the few remaining pioneers. For fifty-seven years he contributed his full share to the development of this country. All remember him as an affectionate husband and a very indulgent father.' His neighbors will ever remember him as a good citizen and neighbor whose word was always as good as his bond, and who took pleasure, in fulfilling his every promise. He was a firm believer in the Bible, in the essential doctrines of the Christian religion and in the final and universal triumph of right over all wrong.

On Tuesday afternoon, his body was laid to rest beside that of his wife in the beautiful cemetery at Wesley. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. T. E. Ballard in the M. E. church at that place and were attended by a large number of the old friends and neighbors of the deceased. W

A BAD BOY.

He Steals From Horsemen and Will Go Over the l^oad for a Season.

Last Tuesday Marshal Brothers arrested Marvin Earle, a son of John Earle, on a charge of larceny. Some days ago the boy, who is about nineteen years of age, and who has been a roustabout around the livery stables, stole from Lon Young a set of knives used in a machine for clipping horses and mules. A day or so later a machine was stolen from Quillen's barn and the lad had an outfit. He was seen with it in his possession and the fact was reported to Young and Quillen. They at once complained to the police and Earle was arrested. At first he denied the accusation very vigorously but when confronted with proof of his guilt he gracefully gave in and acknowledged that he was the party wanted. Information will be filed against him in the circuit court and he will plead guilty in a few days.

A Great Time.

Wednesday. April 10, was a gala day for teacher and pupils of Hunt's school. The patrons had planned a surprise upon the teacher and it proved a success in every respect. About noon, while the teacher and pupils were busily engaged arranging a literary programme to be presented in the afternoon, the door was suddenly opened and the house soon filled with persons carrying well filled baskets. To be sure the programme was immediately changed and preparations made for dinner. The platform erected for the entertainment was speedily converted into a table and loaded with a bountiful supply of eatables. About one hundred persons eDjoye'd the rare repast, among those being Supt. Walkup and wife and Trustee Brown and wife. After the dinner was cleared away the platform was hastily made ready for the evening entertainment. After a few remarks by Mr. Lauthers the evening programme was presented and all did themselves justice. The entertain ment consisted of music, dialogues and declamations, and was well received.

At the close of the exercises Mr. Lauthers made a short talk to the school, presenting each

who had

been neither absent nor tardy a valuable book. There were ten who had not been absent from a recitation.

At the conclusion of Mr. Lauther's remarks one of his advanced pupils stepped from behind the curtains and ia a very touching address presented him with a beautiful book, it being the compliments of his eight year pupils.

Mr. Lauthers replied, heartily thanking them for their kindness. After a few remarks of approval by the superintendent, trustee and patrons, all bid each other goodbye, hoping for many more such days.

The school is one of the largest in the county and every grade represented. The term has been one of success, and we join in wishing Mr. Lauthers such success in all of his righteous undertakings. A PATRON.

In Memory of Lela Hester.

Again the death angel has entered our midst silently and unawaree and after a warning of only a few short hours has taken from us our beloved darling, Lela Myrtle Hester. She leaves a heart broken mamma and papa, three loving sisters and three dear brothers to mourn the loss of one

All deaths arc sad, but this seemed one of the saddest, as only her mamma was permitted to be with her in her last hours, her papa and six brothers and sisters being down with the meas les. We feel that God in His infinite wisdom has called her for the best, and although we ne'er shall hear her voice again here, it will be one of those that calls us to the golden shore.

The family have the sincere sympathy of all in this, their sad bereavement.

This lovely bud, so young, so fair, Called hence by early doom, Just came to show how sweet a flower

In Paradise would bloom Ere sin could harm or sorrow fade, Death came with friendly care, The opening bud to heaven conveyed,

And bade it blossom there.

Snowy hearse and snowy casket, Snowy flowers without and in Snowy robes enfold our darling "While she lays there free from sin. Darling Lela, our hearts are broken.

Never, never to bo healed, Till we press you to our bosoms Where Go3's mysteries are revealed.

sweet, so tender, so precious to us all. Lela Myrtle, daughter of John and Ida Hester, was born Jan. 28, 1899, and was called from this life April 8, 1901, age 2 years, 2 months and 11 days.

Lela was an unusually bright child, always loving, kind and patient, the idol of her parents, and will be greatly missed by all, for to know her was to love her. She was taken sick with the measles, and ere we were aware of the fact, pneumonia set in and took her from us so suddenly.

"Stick to It."

Geo. L. Heard, of High Tower, Ga., writes: "Eczema broke out on my baby covering his entire body. Under treatment of our family physican he got worse as he could not sleep for the burning and itching. We used a box of 'Banner Salve' on him and by the time it was gone he was well. The doctor seeing it was curing him said, 'Stick to it for it is doing him more good than anything I have done to him.'"

THE SPRING CAMPAIGN.

Never before has The Big Store been so well prepared for a season's business. More [thought and time has been given to selection, the varieties displayed are greater, and because of larger purchases prices are lower and values offered are better. This store is gaining every day in popular favor, and more people are learning they pay less and have more to select from here than anywhere else, and the larger our business grows the lower our prices are, so if you help us to grow you help yourself to buy for less. On this basis we ask your patronage.

Dress I Goods and Silks.

While fewer fancies are being us^d the line of plain cloths have grown apace and colors have multiplied until there's no danger of somberness. We've every wanted cloth and almost every wanted shade. We ^ay almost every wanted shade, because we're truthful about our statements and it's seldom we or anyone else can show every shade. We buy goods to sell, and often you want, them faster than we can get them from the manufacturer or importer. That's the reason we have to say "almost every shade" sometimes. But even with our truthfulness we'll show you more than most stores It will pay you to see our assortment of dress goods. Yes, and silks also. It's wonderful the way black taffetas are selling. The only question is to get them fast enough. We are doing our best to keep a selling line of the guaranteed taffetas, especially the dollar a yard kind.

Wash Goods

If every lady in the county and all the counties adjoining would coma just once to see our line of Wash Stuffs it would not be necessary for us to say another word about them this season. Suppose you try the experiment. We are willing they should talk for themselves. They are legion and past our powers of description. Everything that an ordinary dry goods store has in]Wash Groods, and in addition as many novelties and high class stuffs as any city store. We have shown the line this spring in many towns larger than this and the mail orders we receive every day is proof that they are appreciated away from home. Do you know the goodness of the line?

Draperies.

Wei do the Drapery business completely and cheaply. No fancy prices here just because of the novelty of the line. You pay no more for goods that are exclusive than you pay for ordinary styles elsewhere. We invite you to test this statement.

Spring Underwear, Spring] Hosiery, Spring Wraps, Spring Millinery, New Linens, Corsets, Wrappers,fEmiroideries, Laces, Kid Gloves, Ribbons, and all articles 'usually found in a first class Dry Goods store.
