International Exhibitions may fairly be accepted as evidence that the firms who gained them have reached a certain high standard of manufacture. At some of the great World's Fairs of the past the highest awards have been won only by such concerns as richly derserved them. Furthermore, the Judges, even if capable and unbiased, could only pass upon such exhibits as were submitted to them. The product of the factory is the main part the purchaser should con sider. What is a testimonial, and what is it worth? You see the testimonial but you never see the displeas ed one; you see all the good sides but never the bad. For instance, say a hundred buyers purchase an article and five or ten say twenty-five send in or write a testimonial. The other seventy five you never hear from. WHY? Well, you can judge for yourself. If a man comes here and sells five hundred horses in a week, does that convey an idea of truth that he is selling the best and only stock on the market and that everybody was highly pleased with their trade and got their money's worth and no one can make a complaint? No. He was just selling horses because he knew how. Investigate what you are going to do or buy, if it means dollars. Don't just simply do a thing because some one else did, but see if you can't form a basis of your own. Take every body's advice but do your own deciding. Now in conclusion of this lecture, will say that we handle and control the agency for four different makes of Pianos, viz: CROWN, CONCORD, FARRAND and NYSEWANDER. In this line we have as good as any and can save purchaser enough on a Piano worth considering, because we sell from the door, cut off out side expense and are satisfied with the same profit on our entire stock of Furniture and Musical Instruments. Get up your papers and read this lecture from start to finsh. If you don't want to buy a Piano, see us about an Organ. Next week you'll read about the con struction of Reed Organs. Keep it up.

In Memory Of Mrs Amret Spivey. wife of 2.r, C. U. Spivey. whose death occurred Oct. 6. 1909. When a girl she joined the Back Swamp Baptist church, hold ing her membership there until two or three years ago when sne Decame a member of the East Lumberton Baptist church. Her life was a benediction to all who knew her. In her home an ideal mother and a loving nd sympa thetic wife, her personality was charm ing, her life was as gentle and as pure as that of a babe. Her engaging man ners made her attractive. There were no clouds in her spiritual sky and no trembling of doubts in her soul, for she possessed a growing faith and a stead fast hope. The funeral was conducted by her pastor, Rev. J. M. Fleming, and her emains were interred in the family burying ground. She leaves a heart broken husband, two sons and two daughters, a father and mother, four sisters and four brohters, a host of relatives and friends to mourn her de parture. She bequeathed to ber sons and daughters a legacy worth more than any earthly crown a Godly life; To all the bereaved we tender our sin cere sympathy and may the loving father comfort them. Tme dead are like the stars by day, Withdrawn from mortal eye. But not extinct they hold their way In erlorv through the sky. Jan. 10, 1910.
