Gordon Institute, Bartlesville, Ga., one of the leading institutions of learning in this section, with a Music department that stands second to none and under the direc tion of capable and educated musicians, last week opened a competition among the leading music houses of the country for the supplying of the Music department with a compile ol dfit liew Upright Pianos. This brought into direct comparison the merits of the different makes of Pianos, and no such searching tests have heretofore been -iyen Pianos in the Stater of Georgia. It gives the Gable Piano Company pleasure to state that after a careful and conscientious examination of the various makes the famous KINGSBURY PIANOS were selected to go into the Gordon Institute, on account of the beauty of tone, perfect action, artistic case designs, and a durability that will with- 4ar)d the hard usage a Piano is subject to in school work. Messrs. B. M. Turner and J. W. Stafford, president and secretary of board of trustees of Gordon Institute, have kindly given us permission to publish their letter: Gordon Institute, Barnes ville, Ga. Barnesville, Ga., June 24, 1898. H. B. MORENUS, Manager Cable Piano Co., Atlanta, Ga.—Dear Sir: At a special meeting of the Board of Directors,- held this day, it was unanimously voted to place an order with you for the purchase of six ne>\ Style B Kingsbury Pianos, to be used in the Musical Department of the Gordon Institute of this city. In purchasing these pianos of you it gives us pleasure to state that we have selected the Kingsbury in preference to many other makes which are now being used in various colleges in the State, on account, as we believe, of its superiority in tone, action, wearing quality, and the excellent and workmanlike manner in which the cases are finished. You may deliver the above number of Pianos immediately. _ B. M. TURNER, Pres. Board Trustees Gordon Inst; J. W. Stafford; Sec. and Treas. The selection of a Piano is a serious matter, and especially so when one is not familiar with the various makes. The decision of the trustees and musical faculty of the Gordon Institute is an aid to any one in making a selection. Profit by the investigations of these well known people and buy a Kingsbury. More Kingsbury Pianos are being sold in the southern states to-day than any other make of Piano in the world. Scrofula to r.W WILLING EXILES. Hmption. •d/f; csed to Scrofula can r vigorous.

Th o Sngllsii nnd Americans Are Imps** taut Factors In Paris Life. “On nnd after this date,” wroti Napoleon I to Douche, “see that the English are expelled from Paris.” Such an edict would seem. a very large order at the present day, but it. was by no means a small one in Napo leon’s time. What would the Paris of today be without its English colony? From Sir Edmund Monson. our embas sador, to the palo boy who xiies the English journals at Neel’s library in the Rue. Cnstiglione the English are very important factors in Parisian Pie. There has been an English colony in the French capital for many centuries, yet one might search in vain for a sim ilar French colony in 'London. The Leicester ond Soho square districts, ok though owning to a large French popu lation, possess hardly a trace -a vjie flavor or mien that disting^i Les the quarter the English frequentParis, and it is not a fifth the size. : To speak broadly, Paris lias within.,' its walled borders a little London of many thousand persons—not squalid and impoverished, but boasting splen did mansions, fine shops, hotels, churches, hospitals and libraries, and all these to such an extent that it is difficult to believe one Is not in the British capital itself* < The inhabitants of this colony might roughly be catalogued as follows: Re tired people and gentlefolk who have seen better days, those who desire to have their children educated in the lan-, guage, business people, authors, artists, students, journalists and professional men, those who have the best of private reasons for living out*of England and cranks, which term includes certain in dividuals who for some cause or other have developed a feeling of hatred for the land of their birth. Nearly all are exiles of their own accord. On Sunday the elite of the English colony turns out to the Church ot^the Embassy in the Rue d’Aguesseau. Here for a number of years Dr. Nayes, who was formerly a Jbeytonstone incumbent, has preached, and here a collection bag goes regularly round, and is as regular ly returned in a condition of compara tive emptiness. For your Englishman of the English colony is either in a con dition to help largely support the church and dobs or else gives nothing at all. One thing must be said about the English and Americans who go to Paris. They support the city. Without their patronage there is scarcely a . big shop on the boulevards that would not close its doors within a few months.—London Mail. Costs Nothing.

Macaulay drew this picture oi' the power of Spain 000 years ago: The empire of Philip II was undoubt edly one of the most powerful and ; splendid that ever existed in the world. It is no exaggeration to say that during several years * his power over Europe was greater than even that of Napoleon. In America his dominions extended on j both sides of the equator into the tem perate zone. There is reason to believe that his annual revenues amounted, in the season of his greatest power, to a prim ten times as large as that which England yielded to Elizabeth. He had a standing army of 50,000 troops when England did not have a single battalion in constant pay. He held, what no oth er prince in modern times has held, th6 dominion both of the land and the sea. During the greater part of his reign he was supreme on both elements. His sol diers marched up to the capital of France; his ships menaced the shores of England. Spain had what Napoleon de sired in vain—ships, colonies and com merce. She long monopolized the trade of America and of the Indian ocean. All the gold of the west and all the spices of the east were received and distribut ed by her. Even alter the defeat of the armada English statesmen continued to look with great dread on the mari time power of Philip. * * * Whoever wishes to be well acquainted with the morbid anatomy of governments, who ever wishes to know how great states may be made feeble and wretched, should study the history of Spain.—Ex* . charge.
