li .J3L_ ino ifty bi M Edgefield Probably the only organs that can be obtained in Edgefield county this year or next. I bought one hundred and forty organs in February, and fifty of them were shipped July 23 to Edgefield and should arrive there by August 7. After the organs I have are sold I do not know whether I can get any more for many months. I advise every one who thinks of buyiiVan organ either this year or next year to get one of this lot, for it is very doubtful if I can furnish another organ to any one in Edge field county for at least a year hence. " Prices on the various stlyes will be found in another place in this paper, and the prices will be regularly printed every week through August and September. The organs will be in the store next to L. T. May's grocery store. The store will be open until October first for the sale of these organs, and there will be a representative to arrange terms with purchasers. These instruments will be all sold by October first or removed elsewhere. This is your only chance to get an organ this season. I have tried the organ market and bought all that I could obtain. My facilities have not been limited. The only limit I have had to buying was the ability of the factory to supply the organs. Call and see these organs or write to me at Greenwood. JOH! A.
