The Grea, Southwestern Music Hous

The Great Southwestern Music House.
 Considering the natural advantages of the two places, and the enterprising character of their business men, it is but natural that Memphis. Tenn, and Little ROCK, Ark, should be the commercial centers and great supply depots of their own and several adjoining states. Among the business houses of the two cities there IS none that stands higher or better de- serves the trade it commands than the Great Southwestern Music House of H. G. Hollenberg. A business career If over thirty years in Memphis and of six years in Little Rock, during which these houses have virtually controlled the music trade of Arkansaw, Tennessee, Mississippi, north Alabama, north Texas and the Indian Territory, places them prominently above al! southern competi tors. These houses carry the largest and most complete stock Of the Lest m alses of pianos and organs, sheet music and all goods pertaining to their line, and are prep ared to fill orders without any delay, and at prices less than the purchaser can obtain in the east, freight considered.

 Still, there were one or two men who did not despair. They began to conspire and as result they led a fighting dog into barn near the widows house the other day and one of them paid call al the hou and said:
 In course we knows how you feels about this dog fighting. We feels the same, but there woman across the al. ley who owns dog which she brags on.'

 The dog was taken to the barn and he did not dlsappoint his packers. After a fight of fifteen minutes he was declared victor, and as the referee gave his decis. ion the widows voice was heard saving
 Good That pays her for abusing my hair! I'll fix her on the big feet be- fore the week is out!"

IN ADVOCACY OF THE MORE FREE
USE OF IRON IN HOUSE BUILDING.

BALTIMORE, May 29th, 1885.
Messrs Editors From the frequent occurrence
of fires, causing extensive destruction to both life
and property, it seems to the limited view of the
writer that house builders are rather backward in
availing of the advantages promised by the freer
use of iron than is now made in house building,
for the much desired security against the great
destruction of life and property almost daily an
nounced in our newspapers
The great loss of life, considered in connection
with the growing scarcity of timber bordering on
water courses contiguous to our large cities, and
keeping pace with the increase of our population,
together with the fact that abundant supply Of
iron is to be found in almost every county of our
State, prompt the question, Whether not the
subject now named, though not new one to the
public, has been considered by our house builders
and owners to the extent that its Importance en-
titles it to? The mode of building now referred
to may be somewhat more costly than the mode
in use, but its durability, saving in insurance, and
most especially the protection it offers against the
great slaughter Of human life too oft attendant on
the present mode, require for it more general OBJ
servance than has been afforded it. few build
ings are now in our city embracing at least some
of the improved safeguards belonging to the COM
paratively new mode, and mcritorious example,
the writer is told, may be seen at the Johns Hop
kins Hospital buildings of some valuable improve
ments, much to the credit of their accomplished
constructor and supervisor.
These remarks are made with the hope of see
ing others showing more acquaintance with the
subject, as the writer's ignorance does not allow of
sufficient temerty for q recommendation of ma
tured plan, with it's important particulars.

l9- Since the commission of the dastardly act
of the brutal negro Cooper in this county last
April, there seems to have been wave of this
species Of crime passing over the State, no less
than four deeds of the kind having been reported
since then. The last one, only few days ago,
occurred at Mount Airy, on the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, and was almost as brutal as that
perpetrated by the Baltimore county fend, but in
this latter instance the people had chance to
summarily dispose of the villain, and, strange to
say, they did not do it. We would be slow, at any
time, to recommend violation of law, but in
crimes of this kind we think that the sooner the
perpetrators are disposed of the better. The de-
lays of the law, as instanced in the Cooper case,
are most exasperating to the people. There are
so many loop holes open to criminals of all classes
that it seems almost impossible to convict one,
and, after they are convicted shrewd lawyers fire.
quentIy succeed in getting them off. 1t is the
duty of q lawyer to do all he can-to exhaust
every possible means for the benefit of his client
but in some instances think this otherwise
commendabIe persistence is carried just trfe too
far, and this leads people, who are not familiar
with the laws, to believe that they were framed
for the protection of scoundrels instead Of for
their punishment. With firm determination to
uphold the laws of the State, as becomes all good
citizens yet we do believe that in this particular
species of crime the more speedy the punishment
the more salutary the lesson. To have these cases
carried from one court to another, each report Of
the proceedings bringing fresh to memory all their
horrible details, IS not only outrage upon those
who have personally suffered, but the effect upon
the community generally is damaging and should
not be tolerated.

Ed ors Union Notwithstanding the severe
winter and continued cold spring, the damp
weather has been favorable to the farmer. Where
the grain was not badly injured as to be entire

wheat fields that looked fine as the wheat look

There will be very fine crop of grass. tt
The intersection with the Northern Central
railroad, at New Freedom, has been made by the
Stewartstown railroad, and the work of laying the
track has commenced. The company will in all
probability reach the turnpike south of this place
with the track by the first of July, and complete
the road by fall. Some reports of the building of
this road are very much overdrawn. Whilst the
Stewartstown people required an outlet by rail-
and will have it, and that the cost thereof was Sc
cured by stock subscription it is not true that the
100000 was subscribed and paid into the treasury
before ground for the building of the road was
broken. However, hope the road will be built
without any bonded debt upon it, New Freedom
has now her opportunity and if the proper spirit of
enterprise should govern the place it will lead all
other places along the line of the railroad.

S-The letters written by certain Baltimore
county Democrats to the new Postmaster of Balti-
more, requesting him to retain certain Balti-
more county Republican, have caused more COM
ment than anything that has lately occurred here,
and the end is not yet. Some few affect to believe
that Mr.. Veazey abused the confidence of these
men by making their letters public, but unbiased
people will not think he did when they know the
facts. The Democrats who wrote these letters be-
long to the class who found great fault with Mr.
Veazey because he saw fit to appoint Major ALI
son deputy postmaster, for the reason that the
Major had in the past acted somewhat indepen-
IDENTIFY in politics, once running against the regu-
lar nominee of his party for of the city clerk
ships. To show their consistency they then turn
deliberately around and write strong letters of en-
dorsement for Republican, and Mr. Veazey, in
self-defense, made these letters public. We con-
tend that under the circumstances he violated no
confidence and that he did exactly the right thing
by showing up men who would engage in this
kind of double-dealng. People generally, with
out regard to party, are much pleased at the turn
affairs have taken, and commend the new Post
master for his action.
