unsolicited and generous contribution of
Behr Bros. & Co., of this city, toward a
fund for the proper celebration of the one-
hundredth birthday of that city. The fol-
lowing, which we clip from a Nashville
journal, will be read with interest:
Every man at the Tabernacle last night
thoroughly appreciated the contents of the
telegram from Behr Bros. & Co., the en-
terprising firm of New York piano makers.
It was sent to their representatives here,
Messrs. R. Dorman & Co., authorizing
them to subscribe $250. They have shown
by this action their appreciation of the
Nashville trade and their firm belief in the
good to Nashville to be derived from the
Centennial Exposition. Hundreds of the
beautiful Behr pianos have been sold here,
THE Hallet & Davis Co., and the Merrill
Piano Co., have issued invitations to all

A RATTLING good march for piano has
been sent us by the publishing house of
Thomas Goggan & Bro., Galveston, Tex.

the melody has that swing and breeziness
that foretells popularity.

Gross will hold their annual picnic, in aid
of the Benevolent Association, at Lion Park
on Wednesday, September 14th.
THE Ann Arbor Organ Co., Ann Arbor,
Mich., will enlarge its factory to a five-
story brick structure. This company has
placed an order with the Andrews Dry-
Kiln Co., of Chicago, for a dry kiln to be
put in about September 1. This kiln will
be so constructed that the lumber will be
dried and handled in a most practical way,
whereby a board will not be touched from
the time it is placed in the dry kiln until
it is run direct on the sawing table.

past has been engaged in the piano and

that place, and demanded of him payment
of $409.66 on instruments which Schocke
had sold last fall, and until a few days ago
