[Flam the Christian Index, July 11,1878. J
Hitherto there has been an un«
satisfied demand for a Parlor Organ
which should combine power, sweet
ness and variety o*‘ tone with a per
fect action, enclosed in a rich and 4
ornamental case, which could "be sold
at a very moderate price. After
spending large earns of money in
experimenting, J. E-tey & Co. have
at last succeeded in manufacturing
an organ which covers the whole
ground. Tbe action, hy an ingenious
and yet perfectly ample* mechanism,
has been rendered independent, and
cannot be affected, like others, by
changes in the weather. A new and
surprisingly beautiful design of case
has been fashioned, and many other
improvements been made, and we are
informed by G. P. Guilford, Estcy’s
Managing Agent for the South, that
in his experience ot twenty-nine
years, be 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
iiisryot'curke n ° l om * * las ever * ,een returned;

’ " customer who has ever seen it.
Having done away with all local
agencies, Estey Las determined to
sell through Mr. Guilford directly to
customers; thus giving them the
benefit of all discounts and commis
sions. jnly.23.tf.

Mr. Jones just as if he had been boil

head were filled with tar. The hair
stuck out in all directions, or at least
a mass of tai stuck out. The sockets
of his eyes were full of solid tar, which
seemed to have been poured into them
and allowed t<> ceol. The whiskers
seemed a large mass of tar. His face,
neck, and we are told, his entire body
had a thick coating. The vigilantes
kindly clothed him before putting him

But we intended on'y in this arti
cle to speak of Athens ns a business
mart and to commend its activity
and enterprise. ■'We were surprised
to see that there was as much rush
and go-ahead-ativeness as thero is in
any other city of Georgia, even At
lanta. And although it is not so
large as the latter place and has not
the railroad facilities, yet for its size
it is quite the equal of the Gate
City.
An immense amount of cot'on was
being brought in every day, and the
people there do not expect less than
seventy-five thousand bales this

producer all'the advania^cs that any
other business centre possibly can.
There are a large number of excellent
business houses in all lines of trade,
and they are prepared to offer as
good inducements as 1 ean be found

are as large as there are in the State,
