Notice to Piano Players.
MIR. A. NOrdm ann,
manufacturer of pianos
from San Antonio, is in
the city to tune and re-
pair pianos. Also sell
new ones. Leave orders
at Miller Hotel.


Among the recent arrivals in
Brownsville are +. VI. Priestley and
family, Of Jacksonville, Texas.
Mr.. Priestley had his household
effects billed TO some point in Mex
leo, where he intended 10 locate,
but when he reached Laredo, found
it would cost him 5000 duty on his
goods to Mexico. The price was
a little too steep to suit the gentle
men, so he decided to have his
eff ects sent to Brownsville, and IS
now awaiting their arrival. Mr..
Preistley has rented w. d. Mar
shall's residence, and will occupy It
when his household goods arrive.
He is a practical truck grower, and
THE HERALD would be glad to
have him locate here, feeling he
would make no mistake in selecting
this section for a permanent stop
ping place.
My First Ball" is the title of a
very sweet song by Miss Mary +.
Duffy of this city, which has just
been published in the Classic Edi-
ton of Popular Music, by the Sue
cess Music Company of Chicago.
Miss Duffy has achieved success
with several other of her compost
tons which have been set to music
and published, and is also known
as a writer of fiction. Her new
song is on a popular theme, set to
waltz time, and will no doubt make
quite hit. A limited number of
copies are on sale at the Putegnat
drug store, at so cents a copy.

The engine pulling the Fordyce
train fell dead this morning four
miles from Brownsville, the fuel oil
becoming exhausted. The engine
crept into Brownsville, but was un-
able to pull the train in. The pas
sengers were forced to remain and
wait for the 4:45 train, or walk the
distance of four miles to town,
which it is safe 20 say very few of
them cared to do.

Der returned yesterday from Hidal-
go, where district court has been
in session the past few days, a

Mr.. Kleiber left this afternoon for
Rio Grande City, where district
