BUY YOUR PIANOS AT HOME.

Why buy pianos from strangers
and commission agents whom you
do not know, and whose guarantee
is not worth the paper upon which
it isl written? Why give notes
when you purchase a piano, bear
ing "interest" and lien besides?
When you buy from strangers or
commission houses, the notes you
give are sent to the dealers and
wheu not discounted to banks or
money lenders by them, are trans
ferred to the manufacturers, who
use them for collateral. Hence
you do not know who holds these
notes and can get no extension
when they fall due.
We do not ask for notes bearing
interest. We are to be found at
home when you want an extension
besides we are here and keep your
piano In tune free Of charge,
whilst you are paying for 1t.
Furthermore we will sell you q
better piano for less money and
upon easier terms, than you can
get from strangers, "who are here
today and away tomorrow"
1t will pay everybody contem-
plating the purchase of a piano to
call on us and get terms and prices
before placing their order. We
carry the largest stock and variety
Of pianos in the south.
We have a few bargains in sec
ond hand uprights that we will
sell the coming week very low and
on easy payments.

SHORT STOPS.
What the People Are Saving.

Politics becomes the business Of
all the people this year. The man
who affects to have nothing to do
with politics is a sneak, undeserv-
ing Of respectful treatment.
Political parties are as essential
to the good of society as all our in
situations; in fact they constitute
our government, and the American
citizen who is not p partisan is un-
worthy of being citizen.
We know parties by their names,
and by the public policy they
maintain; in this state we have
the democratic, populist, republic.
can and prohibition parties.
The republican party should
stand first, hut by reason Of its IN
fortunate attitude, ranks third. 1t
is the triumphant national party,
and in a state like Texas, should
be at the head.
The republican party is split upon
question Of organization. The
convention to be held at Houston
will present to the people a party
worthy OF the support OF every in
telligent man in Texas who believes
in the republican party.
The great body OF the people Of
Texas are intelligent and patriotic.
The republican party must be gov.
erned by intelligence and respecta-
bility. The Houston convention
will demonstrate tie fact that this
is possible.
