FROM THE New YORK TIMEs.l
HALLET & DAVIS co.
VICTORIOUS!
THE ONLY UPRIGHT PIANO RE-
CEITING SPECIAL NENTION.

The fiat of the Centennial judges, in
the special instance where they meant
TO confer the supreme hOnors for super
iority III Piano manufacture, is now OIL
cially heralded.
The firm upon which this distinguish
ed eminence has beer bestowed, has
been contented To await the formal action
of these authorities. Messrs. Hallet d.
Davis Co., of Boston, had too thorough
a knowledge of the worth of their in
str1ments to worry about the result.
They placed samples of their Grand,
Square and Upright Pianos in the Expo
sition and then went home. No MEM
ber of the firm remained behind, nor
came on again.
There stood the pianos, their own o.
Oquent evidences of supremacy.
They could afford to bide the calm,
decisive conclusions of the Centennial
authorities, and to wait undisturbed the
official PRONUNCIATION of the Same. How
we'll it pays perfect merit not to fret, is
best shown by the following literal
transcript Of the judges report, just is
sued.
The medal of honor and certificate of
distinction ara awarded the "Hallett 4
Davis Co.'S Grand, Upright and Square
''Pianos for volume of tore, good con-
''struction, and excellence of workman
''ship, and because of originality of de-
'sign, and artistic skill in their Upright
Instruments, with ingenious combina-
''tion of Mechanical devices for securing
''permauence in Tone"
We alone are the agents for this fam
Gus instrument in Seattle; and while We
do not claim to have millions" nor
even a million invested in the bust
ness, yet We carry enough stock to af-
ford you an opportunity to make a
selection, and will guarantee every in
strument We sell to be all that We repre-
sent it to be.
To show the public that we mean
business, we now announce that from
this time forward We will tune Pianos
at San Francisco prices, namely, $3.

The waves portray the great Jehovah's

What saith the waves to those who list

What lessons can they teach to mortal

They speak, and, though unheard their
speech might be
They say to man: Man; l am tyre of

Behold thy changing temper in my

SO often doing i'll. so seldom doing good
Can be calm when storms above me

And toes my yielding surface to and

And then, ah then; my giant powers

And foaming ocean joins the darkened

EDITOR FREE PRESS - After long ST.
lence. we send up few items, which will
likely be of interest.
Our farmers all look glad since the rain,
which was very heavy in this part of the
country. There was some wind, and hail
but not enough to do any damage The crop
prospect is now very fine. Business report
ed lively. MIR. Chapman, our accommoda
ting merchant, has greatly increased his
stock of goods, and is now giving his custo-
mers good bargains.
The demands of our people seem to
be increasing. AS an evidence OF this, Mr.
Fairchilds, one of our esteemed citizens, is
putting up a store. His house is now near
completion. Success to him in his new en-
terp rise.
Mr.. HI. G. Pearcy, former partner in the
firm of Chapman & Pearcy, and Mrs: V.
Womack, started on the 1st on visit to
their old home Mr.. Pearcy goes to Mis-
souri, and Mrs Womack to Virginia. They
expect to return in the summer or fall.
OUR soHooL.-about the middle of June
we moved into our new chapel. The high
school department up to this time had oc-
cupied q room in the Professors dwelling,
which he had snugly fitted up for school
room, until the Academy was ready for use.
His kindness in thus providing for the COM
fort of his school will doubtldss be RENE M
bered by his pupils and pa irons. Father
Morrell was present when we entered the
new chapel, and made the dedicatory talk.
He spoke of the beginnings and growth of
some of our finest schools, in such way as
to brighten our hopes in reference to the
future of our institution. which offers such
superior advantages to those wishing an ed =
ucation. Sixty-four students have been
matriculated this session. This for the first
session of school commenced in the brush,
and under so many disadvantages, is en-
couraging indeed. The student in the pri-
mary department, under Miss Lizzie Morrell,
as the result of their careful and thorough
training, evince an aptness rarely seen in
children of their age. Professor Jorian's
methods of teaching, and manner of con-
trolling are peculiar to himself. He is in
every sense of the word an aggressive teacher.
The close of the session is near at hand.
The examination will commence on Monday
the Doth and end Thursday the 1st day of
June. On the night of the 1st we have our
Commencement exercises. All who feel an
interest i'll such things are earnestly invited.

More "reminiscences from Uncle
Billy Pitts.

II II am not mistaken think il was in the
year of '48 Mr.. Ezell built "A mill for Gen.
Ed Burleson near the place where Smiths
mill now stands. While Mr.. EZell was ut
work in the water snake bit him and came
near killing him We made him 30 drunk
| thought the snake and whisky both would
kill him, but he got over II by tight squeeze.
Az there was but few Of us here then, the
young people would get together OF even
ings TO pass off the time and talk funny
things and old times, and sing love songs.
MIR. Monroe Swisher would sing the Car
rier Dove" and little song he called
Lodged in the Boston JAIL" and Mr. John
Connolly would sing slim Crack" 30 they
would have big laugh over 1t and enjoy
the times as best they could.
To keep up and make things lively, Gen.
Ell. Burloson aud Maj Lindsey concluded
they would run a race, fifty yards, 80 they
put up each one lot in the town of San
Marcos as wager. The ground was step
ped off, the judges chosen, they came up to
the poles, the word given and they started
might and main. When Burleson came
through the poles Lindsy was about twenty
yards behind doing his level best all the
time both mems friends following for his
man. So Burleson got the lots, and that
race lasted a long time to talk over and made
fun for month.
AS we did not have q great deal to do
those days, several of us concluded to hunt
in the mountains. We got q wagon, three
or four axes, four or five buckets, every one
his rifle. OFF we put for Cordoway crossing
on the Rio Blanco, got there. struck camp.
Old man Session. said we must have some
honey, got an axe walked to the river, look
ed up tree, commenced cutting and asked
for help. Some of the boys went, and we
soon had plenty of honey. BY the way, we
had killed two deer before we got to camp;
so we had venison and honey a plenty. |
never saw men eat as much in one night
before. Some of them said q think it was
old Moon) that jim Moore got away with
one bucket of honey during the night.
Some one or other was up all night eating
buck and honey. We had plenty of good
strong Texas coffee, SO we had a real jubi-
lee, had fun alive, all got back home safe
and sound with venison and honey and left
two bee trees on the river.

the various county executive committees are
urged 10 take such steps as will secure the
attendance of delegates from oil the ciuDs OF
