SOUTHERN GlEANlNGS.
The Great Southern staple.

The season of 19O1-1902 was rather
unfavorable to the production Of cot
ton, owing to disastrous droughts in
the southwest and excessive rains in
the South Atlantic States. Notwith-.
standing adverse conditions, however,
the crop reached total Of 10,76s,ls5
bales. This year the climatic condi-
tions have been more favorable, with
a phenomenally mild fall and the
absence of killing frost. The picking
season in most localities has been all
that could be desired. But the early.
conditions were not of the best, how
ever, and the crop is now estimated
at something over 100000 bales. At
any rate, growers can take comfort in
the fact that there seems to be a cer-
tainty that the price will be well
maintained as compared with recent
years. 1

VIII take one OF the beautiful new
pianos at Powers store now being
sold by orion Bros. The Kimball pi-
ano is endorsed by many artists Of
the world and has attained a high po-
sition among Americas artistic pi-
amos. Elaborate styles are shown in
walnut, oak and mahogany. These
instruments are among our very best
styles and more expensive ones and
we probably should not have brought
in pianos of such high grade and price,
unless especially ordered. But we
take it that as the railroad will haul
q good n as cheaply as n of low
er grade, that it will be as cheap in
the end.
Also, we notice a demand in Lewis
town for the very best in other lines
of merchandise and see no reason why
an exception should be made in pur'
chasing the family piano. BY getting
a piano OF absolute correctness of ac'
ton and mechanical construction, com,
bined with a faultless tone, any stu
dent and player can easily form a
correct a and develop a touch i'm.
possible on cheaper instruments. 1t is
not how cheaply we can supply you a
piano but how surely We can satisfy
you.
BY the fact that fully one-half of al
the pianos sold in Montana last year
were sold by us, proves lowness ol
prices as well as highness of grade
for our instruments.
