A few days ago just as the cur¬

the departing day, while Mr. John
W. .Snipes, was busying himself
among his houses and cattle, anil
no doubt mounting over the coin¬
ing result of the 6th as whether his
cattle at an early day were distined
at an early to be deprived of the
pleasure of nibbling the grass from
the sand, beds in the public road, and
to be coin polled to broonc upon the
jericy grass of an enclosed pasture
he was aroused .from his deligtful
reverie, by a sharp,“ha,0!” “I would
be glad to get lodging for the night,”
said the individual at the gate. Mr.
S. said “I will consult my wife,”
thinking no doubt Unit he confront¬
ed an Ohio man looking up a place
tolocate. Arrangements were made
for him to spend the night. All
went well till he was taking his
leavo in the morning, and settling
his fare with thanks when Mr. 8.,
remarked ‘you can’t settle that way.’
‘But I have not a cent of money’ I
have a good scoop and am going to
prepare compost to-day, so 1 will
have you to try your hand said Mr.
8. It needless to say the bill was
fully settled and that Snipes is con¬
vinced the man was not looking up
real estate. P.

are than selling Pianos and Organs for CASH or on Installment plan, cheaper
any other house in the country. To verify the above all you have
to do is call and examine their stock, or write for catalogue and prices.
One reason they sell cheaper than some houses, is this, they don’t throw
in any thing with an Instrument. A handsome stool and scarf goes with
each Piano and a Stool and Instruction Book with each Organ, and noth¬
ing else. You pay for what you buy, but nothing more. They give you
a home guarantee for five years, and will deliver an Instrument in your
house if it is not convenient for you to send after it. They have a very
handsome delivery wagon built especially for this purpose. Write for
prices and terms to James Fuicker A Bro., Amerieus, Ga.
