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
com mission houses, the notes you
give are sent 10 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 it.
Furthermore we will sell you a
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 few bargains in Sec
ond hand uprights that we will
sell the coming week very low and
on easy payments.

DEBARRED FROM THE MAILS.
United States Slave Owners Bureau De.
olared Fraud.

WASHINGTON, d. G. April 49,
Postmaster General Wilson has
declared that the United States
slave owners registration bureau
of Washington, ID. g., was in vio-
lation Of the postal regulations and
was not entitled to the privileges of
the mails. This bureau was but
recently incorporated under the
laws of the District and the Depart
ment made an investigation of it's
method of business. 1t was as
Certained that three of the incor-
poratOrs Of the Bureau gave Wash
ingtOn as their residence but none
resided in the district at the time
of Incorporation. They have just
established offices here, but began
doing business in a sub-office in
Savannah, Ga, several weeks ago
by sending out literature. The
plan Of the bureau was to secure a
record OF all persons holding slaves
on January LIST, 1868. Instructions
and blanks We're sent out TO eX-
slave holders or their heirs for
them to state the number of slaves
owned and their sex. These
blanks We're to be filled out by eX-
slave holders and returned to the
Bureau with a fee from one to five
dollars, the bureau promising to
have bills introduced in Congress
looking to. repayment for slaves.
The report OF the Postoffice inspec-
tor is that the scheme is a fraud
pure and simple.

its effect is wonderful, is only using a
