ing a wise investment and are assured a Life Time Satisfac-

ton. We shall be very glad Of the opportunity to explain
to you our Easy Payment Plan which has REVOLU-
T1ONIZED the piano business.
Did you ever stop to consider the difference in the
price of pianos since we started our piano Department. We
established this department over 20 years ago, and we were
the first department store in the United States to open a
piano department. We have taken the piano out Of the
Realm of Mystery" which for years has surrounded the
purchase of a piano. We have made it possible for a piano
buyer to buy a piano that will last them a lifetime, and only
ask an honest and reasonable profit.
We make the same margin of profit on a pair of shoes
or a hat as we do on a piano, that is the amount invested
taken into consideration. Quality is not lost sight of in our
store and during this GREAT SALE we are
offering special inducements to piano buyers. We are com
PEELED to make room for our fall stock of pianos which will
begin to arrive in July, Therefore, we have marked every

Steward H. Strickland.
(Cor. to The Commonwealth.

On Feb. third, 1909, a summons
came for brother Steward H. Strick-
land to meet the King, and he passed
quietly over the river.
Having been born Oct. IA, 1880,
he wss in his seventy-ninth year.
He was married Dec. 20, 1860, and
his wife, six children and two grand
chrildren survive him.
He was a soldier in the army of
Northern Virginia, and a member
of Company D., 43rd N. C. The
First Lieutenant of his Company
said Of him, He was good soldier. y
He was a devoted Christian and a
loyal church member. He was in
the true sense Christian gentleman,
ever mindful of the comfort and
happiness of others and forgetful of
his own. When it has been said that
he was Christian gentleman, what
higher encomium can be pronounce
ed.
During his last years he was a
great sufferer, but he bore his suf-
fering with patience and fortitude.
He expressed himself as willing to
suffer if it was the Lords will, yet
anxious to depart to that land where
there is no more pain.
We shall miss him from his accus-
toned place, and shall be lonely
But for him, to depart and be with
Christ was far better.
He hath gone before your face
