LIGHT TOUCHES.
The construction of some Pianos and
Organs is such as to require considerable
force to produce sound. In those we are
showing the mechanical parts are so nicely
adjusted that they respond to the most
delicate touch. But they can stand the
heavier hand of a player made enthusiastic
by the richness of tone, the volume, the
parity of their notes. And the exteriors
are fitting houses for such music. See

There is more Catarrh in this section of
he country than all the other diseases put
together, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it a local
disease, and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced It incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a consti
tutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney &
Co . Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu
tional cure on the market. It is taken in
ternally in doees from 10 drops to a tea
spoonfrti. It acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and tes

A MILK TRAIN. .
One to be Put on by The Central
From Grifln to Atlanta.
Quite a delegation of prominent
railroad men an J citisens of Atlanta
spent several hours io our city yester
day.
Tbe object of their visit was to ex

It is proposed to leave Griffin every
morning al 6 o’clock and stop al every
station between here and Atlanta and
receive all tbe milk to be shipped*
reaching Atlanta between 7 and 8
o’clock, thus affording all the territory
lying on the Hoe of the Central be
tween Griffin and Atlanta the benefits
and advantages of a ready market for
all their dairy supplies.
This is a very important move and
farmers and dairymen on tbe line
should hasten to improve tbe opportu
nities thus afforded.
4 The vegetable gardener will also be
benefited, as vegetables taken from bis
garden in early morning can go with
dairy product to a near and ready
market.

Th® Small Vam That Ar® Received by the
Imsdou Barristers.
A barrister's fees are small, and they
are always paid in advance, and the
nun is recorded under the title of the
brief. A friend who has a large practice
■bowed me his feebook yesterday. The
largest item was 38 guineas, which is
less than S2OO. The average was about
SSO. Fees are regelated by the benchers
of the inn ecoortimg to the service per
formed, and no contingent fees are al
lowed. A barrister may accept -a case
for nothing or return the fee in cases of
charity, but he cannot without violat
ing his oath, dlreotly or indirectly, ac
cept any greater compensation for a
legal service than is allowed in the
regular schedule fixed by the benchers
of his inn. If he does so, he is debarred
from practice.
It is a common custom in America
for a lawyer to undertake a suit for the
recovery of damages or a claim of any
kind with a contract that be shall re
ceive a certain percentage of the amount
of money recovered. In England such
an act would be considered disreputa
ble, and any barrister found guilty
would be expelled from his inn. The
fees are regulated by the amount of
time and labor required, and not by tbe
amount of money involved. A barrister
may receive a fee of $250 in a case in
volving only SSOO, and he may receive
a fee of $26 in a case involving SI,OOO, -
000.
All legal business originates with so
licitors. They bring to the barrister’s
office a case all prepared after certain
forms and written in manuscript. The
British courts do not permit typewrit
ing. The solicitor requests the barrister
to undertake the case, and the fee is
marked plainly upon the brief. If the
barrister does not care to undertake the
labor for the amount of money allowed
or for any other reason, be advises the
solicitor to go elsewhere. If he accepts
the responsibility, the solicitor leaves
the amount of the fee in coin with the
brief, so that the barrister has his pay
In advance. This is the almost invaria
ble custom. The only exceptions are in
cases of close friendship between the
solicitors and barristers and where there
is a large amount of litigation in
which both are involved. Then it is
customary for the barrister to make up
liis bill at the end of the month or the
end of the quarter, lint the fee in each
case must nevertheless be written upon
the brief and recorded in the books of
the court.
It is customary, also, for the solicitor
to leave a fee for the barrister’s clerk
at the same time, which must be a cer
tain percentage of that paid to the bar
rister. When you dine at a hotel or a
restaurant in England, it is customary
to tip the waiter an amount equal to 6
per cent of your bill for the same rea
son. The waiter receives no compensa
tion from his employer, nor does the
barrister’s clerk. His pay comes entire
ly from the clients, and if his princi
pal has no clients he gets no pay. On
the other hand, if his principal has a
very large and profitable practice his
fees are enormous. They say that the
clerk of Sii Charles Russell lives in a
handsome villa down in the suburbs, is
driven to and from his office in a brough
am and hires a box at tbe opera for the
season.—Chicago Record.
No More of It For Him.
He entered the shop of a fashionable
bootmaker, a look of determination on
his face. It was such a look as one sees
on the face of a man firmly re
solved to carry out, at all hazards, a de
cision which will change the whole
course of his life.
“H’ml” he began as the assistant
stepped forward and politely questioned
him as to his requirements in feet
beautifiers. “I want a pair of shoes for
my wife, Mrs. Brown.”
‘‘Yes, sir, certainly,” said the young
man briskly. ‘‘Same style and size as
last week?”
‘ ‘Same style. Size, fives—wide fives, ”
replied Brown decidedly.
‘‘But—er—excuse me. Mrs. Brown
only takes —that is, she usually has
8%,” exclaimed the assistant, who
knew the lady well.
“Are yon married, young man?’*
queried Brown sternly, the look of de
termination deepening on his careworn
features.
“Er—not yet, sir,” answered the
shopman, blushing.
“I thought not," returned Brown,
“lam! lam not going to suffer half
an hour’s purgatory every morning,
watching a woman trying to squeeze a
bushel of feet into a peck of boots. I’ve
stood it long enough, and I’m going to
take her a pair that will fit”—Pear
son’s Weekly.
Making Things Clear.
Au old Peebles worthy and an Eng
lish lady were one day recently occu
pants of a railway carriage in an Edin
burgh bound train. The train had been
waiting long at a certain station, and
there was no appearance of its starting,
when the worthy remarked, “They’re a
gey taiglesome lot here. ”
“I beg your pardon,” said tbe lady.
“I’m sayin they’re an awfu’ daidlin
squad here,” said the old fellow.
“I really beg your pardon, sir,” she
rejoined.
“I’m remarkin they’re a vera dreich
Jot here the nicht,” the old gentleman
further ventured.
“Really, I must again beg your par
don, ” said the lady, with marked em
barrassment, “but I do not comprehend
you.”
“I was just trying to say the train
was late,” be finally, blurted.
“Indeed, sir, it is very late,” agreed
the lady.
And the conversation collapsed.—
