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 purity of their notes. And the exteriors are fitting houses for such music. See them at J.

ALL ABOUT BUTTS. ■ ' > Butts Superior Court and Uewiy News Items- Editor or the Call: Court ad* journed on Saturday morning early at the request of the city council of Jack son, or account of tbe development of ooe or two cases of small pox in tbe Northern and Eastern part of Butts county. It was only a precautionary action on the part of Jsoksou, as there was no small pox tbsre and nowhere near there. The council was afraid some one exposed might be attracted to Jackson on account of the Court being in session. There is no danger of the disease at Jackson ss that place is determined to have it controlled in the distant local* itiea nt which it has developed. MURDER TRIAL. Tbe must important case tried on the criminal side of tbe court was that of tbe State vs. Vozler Lee, charged with the offense of murdering Bill Ridgeway. Our Col. Thurman defend ed Vuzier very ably, and succeeded in reducing the crime to voluntary man slaughter. Tbe Colonel has had many triumphs iu tbe criminal field of prac tice, but none greater than ibis, for even some ofVcziet’a neighbors thought he was on his way to the gallows. Judge Beck sent him to the peniten tiary fur iwelve years. . One woman was convicted of the illegal sale of liquors and fined $l5O. Such fines as these will sjamp out this nefarious business. Court'was adjourned to Monday week when some of the other blind tigers will be tried. All the blind tiger people were sick when the court open ed the other day, and kept tbe doctors busy swearing. But Judge Beck in formed tbe Attorneys that ho would certainly try tbe cases Monday week, as be was determined to put a st?p to that business. THE PROHIBITION ELECTION. The prohibition election comes off March 3d. There is absolutely no ex citement. The people of Butts have prospered under prohibition and have □o idea of going back to “heathenism.” The county will go dry with an in creased majority. JACKSON. This beautiful and enterprising little oily continues to improve. Mr. Car tnicael, the Carriage man, is building a most beautiful house—-one that would be an ornament even to Peach tree street in Atlanta. With all bis advantages as a builder his house will cost over six thousand dollars. The Morison bouse has also put up an annex It is crowded all the time now and is an honor to Jackson. POLITICS. The beet posted men in Butts in formed me that the Hon. Robert Ber ner will carry that county. Butts adjoins Monroe and recognizes the comity that has always existed among close neighbors. It is thought that Col. Berner will carry all the counties of the Flint circuit, as well as all the counties of tbe Fifth congressional district. These counties are all bound together politically, and for any of them to go against Berner would react on them in the future. For example, if Spalding should go against Berner if we should ever present a candidate for the judge’s place or the congress we could not consistently ask the help of Monroe county. We simply mention this byway of parenthesis, as a political factum that is going to weigh something on the “home stretch.” GRIFFINITE. We bad a pleasant talk with Mr. Harold Griffin, the clever son of ware houseman W. B. Griffin. He has a fine position with tbe bank at Jackson as bookkeeper. CHANGE OF PIKE COURT. Pike court will convene on the first Monday io April instead of, as here tofore, io March. The change was made by tbe last legislature. It is not generally known even in Pike Yours, W. E H. Searcy. There is more Catarrh in thia 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 doses from 10 drops to a tea apoonfal. It acts directly on tbe blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and tes timonials. Address, F. J. CHENEY * CO, Toledo, O. Sold by druggists, 75c. Hall’s Family Pills are the best.

Preparations for war continne in all parts of the country, but are made as quietly ae possible because of the dan gerous condition of the public ' mind. Secretary Gage denies that either be or Senator Hanna baa been in consul tation with New York bankers in ref erence to a war loan. A resolution was introduced in the bouse yesterday providing a contin gency fund of $20,000,000 for the use of the secretary of the navy in adding to the navy equipments. JtOZLETB LEMON ELIXIR.
