c. w. LONG, m. n.,
Was horn in Da.nelsville, Madison
county, Ga., on the 1st of N*. v<m’ or
1815. He graduated at Franklin
College University of Georgia in
1835. He studied medicine and
graduated at the Medical Department
of the University of Pennsylvania in
1839, and diet! in Athens, Georgia,
June 16th, 1878. Having been for
nearly forty years engaged in the
practice of medicine.
Dr. Long was an honor to the
profession, regarding it as a medium
through which to make his life a
blessing to the world. He was a
high minded Christian gentleman,
always just and liberal toward bis
professional brethren, holding sacred
their reputation, as his own, by
strictly observing the highest code of
medical ethics in all his association
with them. He was never heard to
make reflections or criticisms detri
mental to any with whom he was
called in consultation. As such, all
his neighboring practitioners held
him in their highest esteem and con
fidence, and almost invariably Dr.
Long was called on to attend the
sick chamber of physicians and their
families. Truly did he subordinate
his desire for fortune and fame to the
one great purpose of benefilting his
race. His highest ambition was to
do good and leave the world better
by his labors. Truth, honesty and
candor marked his character while
he cultivated the noble qualities of
love and mercy.
Not only did lie visit the bonus of
wealth and luxury when called to
relieve affliction, but was liberal in

Hitherto there has been an un
satisfied demand for a Parlor Organ
hub should combine power, sweet
ness and variety of tone with a per
fect action, enclosed in a rich and
ornamental case, which could be sold
at a very moderate price. After
spending large sums of money in
experimenting, J. Estey & Co. have
at last succeeded in manufacturing
an organ which covers the whole
ground. -’The action, by an ingenious
and yet perfectly simple mechanism,
has been rendered independent, and
cannot be affected, like others, by
changes in the weather. A now and
surprisingly beautiful design of ease
has been fashioned, and many other
improvements been made, and we are
informed by G. P. Guilford, Estey
Managing Agent for the South, that
in bis experience ot twenty-nine
years, lie has never seen such a
universal favorite as this organ seems
to be. He has sent it out on trial to
be tested with other organs, and that
not one has ever been returned;
neither has he failed to sell it to any
customer wiio has ever seen it.
Having done away with all local
agencies, Estey has determined to
sell through Mr. Guilford directly to
customers; thus giving them the
benefit of all discounts and commis
sions. july.23.tf.
