Quarter of
a Century
Has The Junius Hart House
Been in the Piano Business
IN New Orleans.
In Future to Devote Entire Time
and Attention to Pianos, Or
gans and the Angelus
Piano Player.

About twenty-five years age
Mr.. Junius Hart started a gen.
eral music business at the cor
ner of Canal and Burgundy SITS.
He secured a mum Der of good pi-
ano agencies, and by hard work,
close attention to his business
and treating his patrons with
good, honest and fair dealing he
soon built up one of the largest
music businesses in the South.
Ten years after he started he
found his quarters entirely mad
equate to accommodate his large
business, and he bought the prop
erty, tearing down the old house
and building the present house.
Mr.. Hart died in 1898, and
since that time his wife, Mrs.
Sallie J. Hart, has carried on the
large and extensive business left
by her late husband. In October
Mrs. Hart secured the services
of Mr.. J. P. Simons, an ex-
perienced piano man, to take
charge of and manage her bust
ness.
On account of their extensive
piano business throughout the
South, the Junius Hart concern
decided to sell it's sheet music
and musical merchandise depart.

now going on at the Hart house
and in few weeks they will be
ready to wait ON their friends
and customers, showing the larg'

exhibited in New Orleans.
In the meantime special in

An exchange tells of lady who
tried to scare her husband, who
was hard drinker, so he would
reform. To do this she produc-
ed the costume of devil that had
been worn at masquerade. The
next time the errlng spouse came
home feeling happy she quickly
donned the costume; as he opened
the door she stepped forward and
said in sepulchral tones: "Come
in with me am the devil" The
result rather startled her, as the
response which he greeted was:
"Zat-so? Shake, OIL boy. I'm
your brother-in-law; l married
your sister,"

We are glad to publish to the
world that during the week of
Notification and merriment just
passed not casualty worth
mentioning occurred in Poplar
vile. Everybody seemed to en-
Joy themselves and everything
passed off quietly and pleasantly.
No fights, no fires and no accl-
dents. The young people enjoy
ed numerous socia bles, tacky par
ties, drives, etc, while smaller boys
were contented to pop their can
non crackers and the older men
enioyed their Christmas-din-
ner which their good wives had
taken SO much pains to prepare.
Truly, we all had much for
which to be thankful, and having
spent a prosperous year during
nineteen hundred we can look
back with pleasant memories up
on the close of the Nineteenth
Century and start out upon the
New Year and New Century with
bright hopes and eager anticipa-
tons of happiness and prosperi-
ty.

The curse of country journal
ism is the disgusting little per
sonals, which take up space and
time that should be devoted to
other things. There is a certain
amount of chep vanity in all OF us
which makes it pleasant to see
our names in print, but if we
would just think a moment, we
would see very readily that it in
terested us alone. What does Bill
Shucks care about Tobe Toodles
coming to town? 1t pleases lobe
of course, to see his name in type,
but Bill does not care continent
ell about it. Like lobe, he would
rather see his own name in the
paper, but he is not interested in
the mention of the other fellow.
And yet there are great many
people who dislike and who would
not subscribe for paper that did
not have these locals. l would
not reflect upon the mental caliber
of such person, but it is little
bit discouraging that at the close
of the Nineteenth Century, with
all of it's achievements, books, pa
pers-a1most universal education
if you please-the ''heir of all the
ages in the foremost files OF
Time" that there should have
survived such vain and var1gated
"dearned" tool to mar the sym
metry age. l have known very
few men of that caliber, thank
God, but sad as it may sound,
have seen one or two. They pre-
fer a paper full of "Mr. So and Sc
and So in town." with a patent
medicine d vert S m n
as the leading editorial, to
the ablest periodicals in the
land, whose columns are filled
with the best thought of the age
1t is strange, but when we shall
see this old world as it really is
we will find that all the freaks are
not in the museum, IDIOTS in the
ASYLUM and scoundrels in the
penitentiary. "-Vardaman.

MORE OIL.

The two oil wells brought In this
week are regular summers. One Is
on the Isett land and the other on
Rosenthal. They are both very
productive wells and greatly encour-
age the companies drilling them.
Chanute has now passed the ex-
permental stage in oil prospecting.
1t is already developed that thous-
ands of acres of our lands are under
laid with rich bodies of oil. Just
how far out the oil extends, no one
knows as yet.
The land is being rrpidly leased
all along the river from Humboldt
to Erie. The whole valley will be
thoroughly prospected just as fast as
money can secure the proper ma
chinery and the work be done. Just
what the results will be, no one can
tell. From recent developments, it
looks like Chanute is right in the
center of very rich gas and oil
field.
Gas we know we have In greatest
of abundance and oil is being dis
covered in such quantities and over
such wild field that every man who
owns a quarter section of land with
in ten miles of Chanute thrusts his
hands down to the bottom of his
trouser pockets and struts like
millionair.
City property is gradually look

pecting is being done.
