Don’t Buy Consigned Pianos and Organs.
Those instruments are liable to have been on sale already at other
------—«--•=-=• places and may have been in the houses of several people and reject-
ed. Manufacturers of flrstclass reputable instruments can sell all
they make for cash to reliable dealers. Tnose who make g-ood instru-
ments and consign a portion of their product will naturally select
the best for cash buyers. This is common sense. You can easily as-
certaih whether ihe instrument offered for sale belongs to the con-
signed class or not by simply offering to purchase it on easy payments
without signing- notes. Consignment agents when selling instru-
mentson installments, demand not only iron-clad contracts, but notes
with interest and frequency these carry an additional 10 cent, legal
fees. Notes are not taken as additional security, but generally for
the purpose of transferring to the manufacturers or selling them, in order to raise money to
secure further credit. Those notes must be paid on the day they become due or the loss of
instruments and all the cash paid must be expected. We are cash buyers. We have six
houses in Texas. We carry a lai’ger stock than all dealers in Texas combined. We have been
established over 38 years in Texas. We do not ask for notes on time sales. We refer to any
bank in Texas.

Shook’s Reply to Nunn.
1 regret very much to have to appear
m the public print about a personal and a
private matter, but as an unjust and wick-
edly malicious attack has-been made on
me, I shall give the public a few state-
ments in reply to D. A. Nunn, jr., and
let an impartial public be the judge as to
who has acted In bad faith. 1 charge said
D. A. Nunn with wilfully and maliciously
making false statements and deductions
from my letter ot April 10, 1S94, to him,
with the wicked and diabolical purpose
of making it appear to the public that I
had wilfully and maliciously wronged
him. He had in his possession my letter
of April 10,1894, giving him all the tacts
connected with the matter about which
he rants, and saying further, in plain, un-
equivocal language that 1 had not intend-
ed to do him any wrong. My language
was plain enough to be understood by
any one except an arrant tool. If Nunn
desired the public to judge impartially of
this matter why did he not publish my
letter of April 10, 1894, instead of giving
his own false deductions therefrom? I
have written Nunn two letters since I
heard of his intended attack upon me,
stating that I thought I had made the
amende honorable, and so believing, 1 did
not keep a copy of my letter, and asked of
him as a favor to send me a true copy of
it. He has refused and still refuses to
send me a copy ot said letter. Has he
acted fair and honorable? Would you
say that the acts of an assassin are fair
and honorable?
Not having my letter ot April 10th, I
give from memory as best I can, a few
quotations: T wrote Nunn I had seen and
talked with a man at Bailey’s hotel in
Jacksonville, on Feb. 4th, 1894, and saw,
as I believed, the same man at the depot
at Tyler, and was afterwards introduced
to him by Henry Aycock as D. A. Nunn.
The man I saw at Bailey’s suited your
description in every particular, even as to
dress, etc. The first time L saw Bailey
after being introduced to you, I said to
him, “I have found out who your man
was. If you will send your bill to D. A.
Nunn, jr., at Crockett, you will get your
money. He is a gentleman and not a
dead beat—that he rorgot his bill.” I also
stated in said letter to Nunn that 1 was
as honest in telling him (Bailey) that the
man was Nunn, as I ever was about any-
thing in my life.” In the same connection
I said this to Nunn: “You can see from
the facts herein given how 1 could honest-
ly be mistaken.” 1 also said to him that
I had no intention ot doing him a wrong
—that I had no cause lor it, and would
not do any man a wilful wrong. I don’t
recollect that I said in so many words
that I was mistaken, but as he is such a
fine hand to draw deductions, it does seem
to me he could see from all I said, that I
said in “effect” that 1 was mistaken. No
other sensible deduction could be drawn
from my letter, else why should I go to
the trouble to give him all the circum-
stances, so he could be his own judge ot
my mistake, aud also see how reasonable
the mistake was, and how innocent 1 was
in the matter? Nunn knows now, and he
knew when he prepared his miserable tis
sue ot lies which he caused to be published
in the Jacksonville Banner, that I was
innocent of any intentional and willful
wrong, yet prompted by a wicked heart,
he seeks to make me appear to the public
in the character of doing my fellow man
a willful wrong, or else he desired to gain
some notoriety. I must say he has gained
notoriety, but it is not enviable. He lias
succeeded in making a complete ass of
hirmelt.
Nunn evidently discounted his own
word, for he wrote to Bailey stating that
he was not the man, and why press the
matter further, unless he believed his
word was unworthy ot belief? Any man
who regarded his word as worthy of be-
lief, after stating to the hotel man that he
was not at his house, would have regard-
ed the matter as settled, unless he was
still pressed, which was not done in this
case. He has kicked up all this furor
about a little of nothing, any way. Sup-
pose as a fact he had left his bill unpaid,
would any one have imputed to him dis-
honesty or dishonorable conduct? Cer-
tainly not, and I, believing as I did at the
time I told Bailey it was Nunn, exoner-
ated him from any such charge, as Mr.
and Mrs. Bailey will say. A great many
men who are 1000 per cent, better than D.
A. Nunn,jr., of Crockett, Texas, have
forgotten to pay their hotel bills and no
one ever thought ot anything wrong.
Nunn is entirely too thin skinned for his
good.
Mr. Henry Aycock is referred to by
Nunn, in connection with the hotel regis-
ters of Palestine and Troupe, and he says
Henry Aycock was in Crockett on Feb.
3rd, 1S94, and he (Aycock) knows that he
(Nunn) was in Crockett on that day.
If the hotel registers referred to don’t fur-
nish any better evidence as to Nunn’s
whereabouts on those days than Mr, Ay-
coek can, he (Nunn) is without evidence,
for Mr. Aycock was in Rusk on the day
Nunn says he was in Crockett, and this is
“susceptible ot the fullest proof.”
In conclusion 1 will say that I made
one statement to Mr. Bailey that I un-
qualifiedly take back, and that is, that
D. A. Nunn, jr, ot Crockett, Texas, is a
gentleman. I now say that he has not
a manly principle in him. 1 expect to
say no more about this controversy,
J. E. Shook.
Rusk, Texas, Apr. 26th, 1894.
Tine Boy and the Billy-Goat.
Children’s Corner, Texas Farmer.
The little girl was on the covalescent
list after an attack ot the measles and she
had the old woman to tell her stories to
pass the time away.
•‘Aunt Cloe, smell of this perfume,”
asked the little girl, holding out a bottle
filled with hartshorn. The unsuspecting
old woman took a long whiff and drop-
ped the bottle, and turned as if to leave
the room.
“Where are you going, Aunt Cloe?”
asked the little girl.
“1’s gwine ter git my time, l’s done, 1
katnt stay round yer. My time’s done
up. I’m er bleege ter go. Yo’r ma en
Marse Will dey bin mity kin’ ter me, but
when yer do me disLer way I’s bleedge
ter go.”
“Why, what is the matter?”
“No’m; 1 aint excusin’ yer er tal; itjes
happen so; jes like it wuz when de little
boy made de billy goat knock de man
inter de riber. Itjes happen so, en I amt
blaimin no one; but I’s er goin.”
“Aunt Cloe,” said the little girl, “I am
awful sorry, and if you will tell me that
story 1 will give you the loveliest present
you., most ever saw, and I’ll cross my
heart never to do it again. You know 1
am sick, Aunt Cloe, and if you was sick
I’d do anything you asked me.”
“Dat yer would, honey; en if yer’l
promise ter neber play pranks wid dis ole
woman ergin I’ll tell yer.”
“I’ll cross my heart, Aunt Cloe.”
“Well, once on er time dar wuz er man
en he had jes one ole ram, en he thought
more ob dat ar ram dan a picaninny do ob
a rag doll. So he sot his yelder boy ter
herd dat ar goat. But ae weder wuz
good en de fish wuz bitin’ fine, so de hoy
sez ter de goat, ’now, baldy, I’s gwine ter
go ter de creek. I won’t be gone a rninit,
en yer had better be here when I cum
back.” Den de boy he went ter de creek
en when he saw de fishes in de water his
eyes dey wall up en he sez, I’ll jes ketch
one peerch den I’ll go.’ But de fishes dey
bite so well, honey, dat it wuz mity near
sundown when he went ter hunt fur
‘Baldy,’ but when he got dar Baldy wuz
not dar. He wuz fraid ter go home fur
de ole man hed sed dat if dat ar goat gits
lost yer will suffer. So de boy he stay
way all night en jes er bout day break he
hear de ole man er callin. Den de hoy
sez, ‘Here I is, dady.’ When de ole man
foun out de ram wuz gone he did sho beat
dat boy. De boy sez he’ll git eben.
’Bout dinner time dey foun ole Baldy er
sleep under sum bushes. But when dey
tried ter ketch him he run’nd erway.
Now de boy sez, ‘daddy, I’ll tell yer how
ter ketch him. Yer git behind dat ar
stump en tie dat hankercher on yer hed
so ez ter ‘spicion’ his attention.’ De ole
man did ez de boy tole him. ‘Now bob
yer bed, daddy,’ en de man bob his hed.
De goat he walk a step cr two, den he
stop. ‘Bob yer hed, daddy, en jes keep
er bobbin it.’ De ole man kep on bobbin
his hed till de ram got purty close. Den
he stayed still. But de goat stopped still.
De boy he hollered, ‘bob yer hed.’ De
ole man bob his hed en de billy goat but-
ted him square inter de riber, en de goat
went in wid him. But de boy stood on
de shoar en hollered, “ketch him dad,
ketch him dad.’ De man he cuss en cuss,
but de boy he laff en laff fit ter kill.”
W illiam N. Wiggins, chief clerk in the
comptroller’s office, is receiving very flat-
tering and complimentary notices and en-
dorsements from various papers over the
State tor State comptroller at the next
election. Mr. Wiggins’ promotion to
chief book-keeper of the department
under Hon. John D. McCall, the best
comptroller Texas has ever had, affirms
better his qualifications for the position
than all the newspaper compliments he
can receive, and we have no doubt he
would make an acceptable State officer
should he he nominated.—Burnet Ava*

Some “Pop” Sketches.
We take the following from an article
in the Cleburne Review ol last week:
The Review here now states, and it
challenges contradiction, that they have
not a man among them, from Weaver
down, who can lay any claims or preten-
tions to leadership, that is not a disap-
pointed office-seeker. Take Judge
Nuirent, and about him personally we
wish to say nothing offensive; we concede
that his private record is clean; he made a
good district judge in a western district;
he was defeated for nomination for the
court of criminal appeals in 1892; he was
disappointed in getting an office from
Gov. Ross; then he turned Populist.
Take Jerome Kearby; he was defeated
before a Democratic convention for the
office of district attorney; he left the
Democratic party then and there, not. on
principle, but because defeated.
Take Cyclone Davis, he was candidate
tor the State senate repeatedly, and was
always defeated beiore a Democratic con-
vention, because they had other and bet-
ter meu in the party, better qualified to
fill the position; he quit the Democratic
party because Mr. (Jleve'and wrote a let-
ter on the silver question, yet he knew
r. Cleveland’s position on the silver
question when he was candidate lor office
in the Democratic party, as well as he did
when he quit. Mr. Davis, it is presumed,
will be a candidate for congress this year
on the Populist ticket, hoping lor better
success than he could possibly achieve
while with the Democrats. He will be
nominated, but never elected.
Take Harry Tracey; the only public
office that he ever filled, it that be a public
office, was to engage in the banking busi-
ness, where he succeeded in “busting,”
and the best job he has had since that
time is canvassing the country for the
Populists, aud taking up collections from
the deluded people who follow him.
As tor Evan Jones, every one knows
his record. He could get office neither in
nor outside ot the Democratic party, and.
by the way, Evans has subsided. He has
said nothing this year, doubtless disgust-
ed with his last canvass against Bell in
the Fort Worth district tor congress,
where he was snowed under, even though
the Democracy wa> divided.
As for Bill Farmer, another leading
light in the third party ideas, he is an an-
archist, and simply can be elected on no
ticket, although he has repeatedly tried to
be on an anti-Democratic ticket. He is
the man who declared that the anarchists
executed in Chicago would be as much
venerated by the libei ty-loving people as
Jesus Christ is by the Christians.
As for Senator Hutchinc^n, who by the
way is a good man ot. lines, but he
is an old time Republican—nas been a
Republican ever since the war—though
an ex-confederate soldier. He occupies
toward the Democrats and the southern
people, precisely the same situation that
the other southern Republicans, who are
Republicans tor revenue only.
Last, but not least, Gen. Weaver. He
was a Republican—he is a Republican
now. He got disgusted with h1-- ->wn
party because Gov. Gear hear m: -m-
governor before a Republican - i ■
of his own state.

Tlie Perfect Man.
Yankee Blade.
The right kind of man from Bersheba
to Dan 1 sought with an infinite zest,
from the end of the East my search never
ceased till I came to the end ot the West.
He’s gentle and quiet and plain in his
diet, and never gets mad in a crowd; he’s
a tireless searcher for all kinds ot “yir-
cher,” and never is boastful and loud.
He’s modest and sweet, and he gives up
his seat it a washerwoman enters the cars.
If he smokes out of doors then the smoke
he outpours always comes from a ten-cent
cigar.
On the great Wilson bill he will neyer
talk till you wish he would languish and
die. He’s in love with his wife, and stays
so all his life, and praises her pudding
and pie.
And 1 sought for this man from Beer-
sheba to Dan, I sought from the West to
the East, but I’m sorry to say that he
didn’t come to stay, and he’s long since
defunct and deceased.
