The Silvers Piano 20. certainly
has no complaint to make. We've
been open for business less than
two months. Therefore we can't
expect to be doing "more business
than all other piano stores COM
bined." We make no eXtravagant
claims-probably have set no Lew
pace nor broken the records IN
piano selling up to date. But
what we candidly believe is that
we are doing as much business
young as this store is, as any other
lpiano house in town. We dom
want to get rich too quick. Moth
ing like that. What VIC do want
is to let the people know what pl-
amos we have to sell, and just how
much lower our prices are ON
given values than can be secured
elsewhere. That done. there can
he no question about doing the
business.
WHAT WE ARE DOING
First--We ere paying less rcnt
than any other piano store in Ia
coma. Yes, less than an eighth
as much as some big, fine, SNOWY
store would have cost us.
Second-We do our own selling
our own managing, our own tuning
and polishing, cur own typewrit-
ing, our own bookkeeping, our
own advertising-in fact, we have
cut down this expense proposition
10 where its costs us about one
twelfth as much to sell q piano az
1t would otherwise.
Third-As a result of the above.
we are selling high-grade pianos,
such as the Hallet & Davis (Amer-
ica's second oldest) at prices on an
average OF from $50 to $135 be-
low what the former Pacific
Coast representative asked for The
same makes and styles of pianos
for which we now have the exclu-
sive agency.

In the matter of the decision
of the supreme court giving the
Hayti public square to the Hayes
heirs, the CaruthcrSville Argus
says it has not read the decision
and does not know what it is, but
proceeds as follows:
by an improper decision at the
trial, Judge Riley decided in favor OF
the plaintiffs. the defendants prompt
ly appealing. 1t is stated that the
decision at that time was prompted 10y

Riley himself admitted as much Ia

Now, the truth is. the decision

Riley and said that his decision

is published elsewhere. The re.
marks of the Argus, as usual.
are very unfair to Judge Riley -
and why?

the county held such block in trust for

that this block should be used for

The above is the decision of the SUI
preme court of the State Of Missouri
in the now famous public square case,
and in commenting upon same it is
not our purpose or intention 10 con-
demn nor to speak deSparagingly of
that high tribunal. OF course we do
not understand fully how the supreme
court decided that the act of the cOun-
ty court in deciding the property back to
the Hayes heirs was null and VOID and
that the decision of Judge Riley in so
finding was correct, and then make its
own finding against us. unless the re-
cords and evidence before the supreme
court should be very meagcr, imper-
feet and obscure: in fact, the decision
seems To indicate that the supreme
court knew very little of the true ma
tur. of the case. and, perhaps, if this
court had known more, the decision
might have been different

cisiOn, as we understand it, effects
only the title of Pemiscot county to

diyested OF any further right, claim
or title TO the property, the way is

that in order to end future litigation,

 emplifed from the fact that ninety per cent of Alabama s poultry today is reared and ma tured wholly in the open. It is an industry very much in its infancy and the market is top notch all the year.
 To those who are seeking lection in which to raise poultry for profit, we will say there is no better place in the wide, wide world The cost of production is lessened by the comparatively small cost of maintenance in both feeding and housing, and bX the abundance of forage crops the year round, which later advantage is the one great es- sential in the production of eggs.
 The Alabama hen is happily at home; give her but half a chance and she will cackle dollars into the egg basket. Broilers can be produced any month in the year. The field for supplying stock and eggs for the fancy will be good for twenty years.
