Mr.. W. ]. Poythress, of North
Carolina, is in the Valley and will
probably spend the winter with
us. He is general agent for the
celebrated Baldwin Piano and is
an enthusiastic but logical advo-
cate of its merits. In this he is
supported by some of the most
prominent musicians in the coun-
try. De Pachmann, the famous
Chopin-interpreter, says of this
instrument: sit cries when l feel
like crying; it sings joyfully when
| feel like singing; it responds
like a human being-to my
moods" We commend the piano
and Mr.. Poythress to the public.
