which will be closed out in the next ten days, bringing us probably $15,000.00 to $18,000.00. It’s your chance
and don t make a mistake by letting this opportunity get by you. Owing to the great reductions in the prices
which we have made on these pianos, we wish to particularly impress upon your mind that these instruments are not
a lot of shoddy pianos, just to sell at cheap prices, but are taken from our “Overstock” regular lines and it is an estab-
lished and well known fact, for tjie past 43 years, that Thos. Goggan & Bros, handle only the best of everything.

Dear Sir: The test of truth is evi-
dence. Words in themselves prove
nothing.
When we say Devoe takes less gal-
lons for a job we prove it by the fol-
lowing offer:
Paint half your job Devoe; paint half
with any other paint. If Devoe half
don’t take less gallons and cost less
money, no pay.
Here’s an instance:
Judge I D Fairchild owns two
houses exactly alike, in Lufkin, Texas.
J M Torrence painted both houses, one
Devoe 15% gallons; the other with an-
other paint sold at same price; 25 gal-
lons. That 25 gallon paint is weak and
15 per cent whiting; that’s why it took
9% gallons more.

Regardless of the fact that it was a
postponed date, the celebration of Ger-
man day in Galveston yesterday was an
unqualified success. ’ The efforts of the
officers and members of the committee
in charge met with a rousing response
from the German residents of the city
and their friends, and long before the
time for the opening number on the
program Harmony hall was crowded to
the limit.
Germans, Germ^i-Americans and just
ordinary AmericWs were all there—old
people, middle-aged. people and young
folks down to babies in arms. Men
high In official and public life and men
who make a. living by hard manuel labor
all mingled, listened to th^ music and
songs of the Fatherland, exchanged
greetings in both German and English,
listened to speeches in both languages
and in the usual happy, free-hearted way
of these people celebrated the landing
of the first German settlers in America
over 225 years back.
The program opened with music by
Conway Shaw’s orchestra, 'then Hon. M.
E. Klebery Sr. was introduced and for
about twenty minutes he. addressed the
gathering in the mother tongue. His
remarks were frequently punctuated with
prolonged and hearty applause, and were
thoroughly enjoyed by all who could
under stand his words.
Following the firs>t speaking the Con-
cordia Singing society favored with a se-
lection and then gracefully responded to
an encore.
President Kleberg then introduced Hon.
John T. Wheeler, who in a short address
delivered in his usual happy manner con-
gratulated the German speaking Amer-
ican citizens on. the rapid advancement
that /they had made In this country and
congratulated the race on. the excellence
of its citizenship, its advancement and
its loyalty. Mr. Wheeler’s remarks were
enthusiastically received.
The floor was then cleared for danc-
ing, and when the grand march was an-
nounced there were over 150 couples in
line, the march being led by Mr. August
Badrow and Mrs. Anna Elsenbroich.
A program, of ten dance numbers was
enjoyed and .as each and every num-
ber was called the floor was found to
be filled to its capacity.
The committees in charge handled the
crowd in an efficient manner and deserve
great credit for the way they carried out
their duties. During the evening refresh-
ments were served in the lower hall.
