Bristol, Term., May 24, 1898.
An organ was recently purchased for
Asbury church, at Rural Retreat, Va.
There was serious opposition to the pur-
chase of the organ, some members of the
church being opposed to the so-called new-
fangled methods of worship. A few nights
ago parties unknown to the authorities en-
tered the church and completely demol-
ished the organ. The windows and doors
to the church were all found to be still se-
curely fastened, and how the guilty parties
entered the edifice is a mystery.
The Mason & Hamlin Grand
PLAYED TO SUCCESS BY ELSA VON GRAVE,
THE DISTINGUISHED PIANISTE.
Miss Elsa Von Grave, a pianiste of un-
usual powers, who recently came to this
country from Germany, has just finished
playing in several large Festivals with the
Boston Festival Orchestra. Miss Von
Grave is a pupil of Von Bulow and a young
woman of exceptional talent.

Bothner's Equipment.
George Bothner has lost no time in get-
ting his molding department into good
shape. Aided by Mr. Hagen, of the late
firm of Ehrhaed & Hagen, whose molding
business was recently purchased by Mr.
Bothner, he has been able to adjust all fa-
cilities so that orders can be promptly
filled, special and from the actual stock
which is large, choice and well arranged.
The Bothner factory in both depart-
ments—actions and moldings—is now one
of the best arranged in the country. The
plant is up-to-date, ample for any emer-
gency, and worked by experts only, in-
cluding many of the best action and mold-
ing makers in the trade.
Guttenberger & Co.'s New
Quarters.
F. A. Guttenberger & Co., of Macon,
Ga., is preparing to move this week into
new quarters on Second Street, that city.
A large force of workmen have been busy
remodeling the premises for some time.
When out of their hands they promise to
be one of the handsomest music houses in
that section. In addition to the spacious
and handsomely fitted up salesroom on the
first floor there will be a large music room
on the second floor, suitably equipped,
where chamber concerts will be given from
time to time.

Music on Your Own Terms
THE GRAPHOPHQNE requires no skilled performer to play
it, and yet it will furnish any kind of music desired.
It is vastly
superior to other so-called talking machines, because on the
GRAPHOPHONE one can easily make records of his own music, song
or story, to be instantly reproduced.
Its performances are not
confined to the reproduction of specially prepared and stereotyped
subjects.
It is fascinating and marvelous as an entertainer
Music dealers will find the GRAPHOPHONE a great attraction in their
stores, and more than that, a most profitable addition to their stock.
Liberal terms offered to dealers; can be learned on application. . .
Graphophones are Retailed at $10 and up*
Manufactured under the patents of Bell, Tainter, Edison and MacDonald.
Our establishment is manufacturing head-
quarters of the world for Talking Machines and Talking Machine Supplies.
