quired an experience and an extern

advantage, IN other words with
this Us u basis, they have through
strict attention to business and al
ways keeping good quality Of
goods and plenty of them, built up
business probably second TO none
in the furniture line in this portion
of Texas. The firm is remarkable
certainly for both Judgment and
taste III the selection and for energy
and skill in the management and
sale of goods, With but a small be-
ginning the business has already as
suned very large proportions at both
retail and wholesale, and with u
stock justnow beginning TO arrive,
which we are assured will be by FAR
the largest and best they have ever
had, and with prices correspondingly

J.H. HUTCHINSON
Stoves and Tiuware.

1t is one .of those remarkable facts
in human history that there is no
success without energy and perse-
verance. And where these two quail
tiles are present there is seldom a
failure of any well directed efforts.
The lives of our most successful bus
mess men are nearly uniform in one
respect at least. That is 10 say, they
began business aud formed business
habits AT an early period in life. Bui-
mess with them has been a confirm
ed habit which they cannot throw off
if they would. and would not if they
could. The result has been that
habits thus formed have made the
fortune of many Il man who has be-
gun life under the most adverse cir
cumstances. We are led TO make
these observations while calling the
attention of our readers to the adver-
tisement of j. ii. Hutchinson, Waco's
great stove dealer on Austin street.
When but a boy, thirteen years Of
age. he left the parental roof in West
Tennessee TO seek his fortune in tie
neighboring State, kentucky. He
was without influence and without
means. But applying hiirself with
energy TO whatever came i'll his way,
he was not long in finding steady
employment and friends who encour-
aged him. In this way he advanced
step by step until he came To Waco
about twelve years ago, and set up
in business for himself, and to-day
we have no merchant amongu Us more
highly esteemed or more generally
respected. But pluck and energy
no: alone did this. The conner
stone OF Mr.. Hutchinson's business
prosperity has been his business in
tegrity. To use the popular slang of
the day, Hutchinson has not gone
back" on the public, and the public,
therefore, has not gone back on
him. He stands to-day nnrivaled in
his particular line of business, which
is Stoves. TinwHe and General
Household Furnishing Goods" The
public know that Ilutch's word is
his bond, and therefore he has Il pros
porous BUSINESSES well patronized by
all classes of our people, and will we
predict, be some day Il rich man.

This house has achieved in ~
two or three years an envia Eepu-
tation and large and profitable
trade. Its business is conducted in
accordance with the strictest rules of
justice and fair dealing. The MEM
bers of the firm are Kentuckians-
men of character. culture and honor.
They would scorn TO misrepresent
any article they sell, or to ask any
thing above a fair and Reasonable
price. Their stock of Whistles in

celebrated Ashland sour mash and
Others of equal standing and repdta-
ton. They make speciality of the
purest WHISTLES and brandies, and
their house never contains anv other
kind. Their stock Of imported and
domestic wines and fancy goods is
large and complete. All they ask of
any man is to call and examine their
stock and prices, and if when this is
done he is not satisfied to trade with
them, they are entirely willing that
he should go elsewhere. But they
will never he convinced that anv
house doing business in Texas can
offer better inducements to the
trade than they do, until it can be |
proven that other men keep better
goods, and are fairer and more liber-
Il in their dealings.

WACO NAr1oNAInANK-

Erected upon the ruins of the old
bank building, which was destroyed
by fire, Feb. 2s, 1878, at the corner of
Third street and the Plaza, now
stands one of the mast unique and
superbly finished structures of its
class anywhere to be seen. It is of
brick, faeings ofPhiladelphia pressed
brick, and trimmings of Austin,
Texas, stone size. 25x90 feet, two
stories, with an elaborate ornamental
eOrnice, presenting, as a whole,
quite striking and artistic appear
ance.
The walls are all sixteen inches
thick and surmounted with parapet
walls, and as further safeguard
against fire, all openings are provided
with heavy iron shutters. The front
doors and windows are of plate
glass, one pane to each window.
Within there is the highest possible
combination of comfort and utility
with simplicity and good taste. No
artistic flourishes. but everything
though plain the very best of its kind.
The main vault, which is built of
the best rock, with heavy iron lining,
is ten feet square, and within this is
fitted burglar-proof safe-a protec-
ticn which subjected to the most Sc
we're test in the recent conflagratiOn,
proved entirely adequate to all pur-
poses. the numerous books, papers
and other valuables it contained, sus-
tanning not the slightest injury. To
this vault, in the reconstruction of
the building, has been added another
similar in construction for the safe
keeping of books, papers, special de-
posts, etc, making this department
fully adequate to all demads.
The furniture, made to order of
most modern style, is of black wal
nut with marble coverings, and with
wire guards around the Teller's desk
and all approaches to the vault, thus
etfectually precluding bank rob-
berry of the late notorious Sam Bass
STYLE.
In the building as a whole, in the
bank itself as an institution, in the
arrangement and construction of the
former as in the management of the
latter is eXemplified, not only the
best of Judgment and good taste, but
Il regard for the interest and accom-
mediation of patrons certain very
creditable to the Directory.
The lease under which the Waco
National Bank held the house they
are now doing business in, expired
Yesterday and they were moving in
TO their magnificent new Banking
House. They have been badly dis
appointed however. at not receiving
their new furniture, and Mr.. George
W. Jackson, the energetic cashier
was '',UShed right Hceiy' last even
ing to arrange temporary counters,
