Gordon Institute, Barnesville, 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 departmeut wdth a
!:omplete outfit of uew Upright Pianos. This brought into direct comparison the merits of the different makes of Pianos, and no saieh. searching tests have heretofore been
idven Pianos in the State of Georgia. It gives the Cable Piano Company pleasure to state that after a careful and conscientious examination of the various makes the famous
KINGSBURY PI NOS 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
stand 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, Barnesville, Ga. Barnesville, Ga., June 24, 1898.
II. B. MOBENUS, 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 new 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 KmgsBury Pianos are being sold in the southern states to-day than any other make of Piano in the world, .

The Fart These Busy Workers Play Ln Lhd
Fertilization of Flowers.
Barney Hoskin Standish writes ao
article on “The Bumblebee” for St.
Nicholas. Mr. Standish says: The work
of the bnmb.ebee in bringing about the
cross fertilization of flowers is as im
portant as that of the honeybee, and
these two stand at the head of the list
Cf insects useful in this respect. Each
has its flowers which it alone visits,
but there are many flowers on neutral
ground visited by both. So we may
eay of the bumblebee, as of the honey
bee, the morcT bumblebees the more
seeds; the more seeds the more flowers
—especially wild flowers, as the tall
bellflower, touch me not, Solomon’s seal,
gentian, Dutchmen’s breeches and tur
tle head. But probably the most impor
tant work this insect does for agricul
ture is upon the fields of red clover.
There is abundant proof that this plant
will not produce seed without the co
operation of the bumblebee. It is im
possible for the wind to bring about the
fertilization of the seed, as it may do
in the case of Indian corn, grain and
some forest trees. The tube of red clo
ver blossoms, too, is so long that other
insects (including the honeybee) are
not regular visitanta
Here is proof that this plant must
have visits from the bumblebee. This
insect is not a native of Australia, and
red clover failed to produce seed there
until bumblebees were imported. As
soon as they became numerous the plant
could be depended upon for seed.
Again, the blossoms of the first crop of
the Medium Red clover of our own
country are just as perfect as those of
the second crop, but 'there are too few
bumblebees in the field, so early in the
season, to produce fertilization, hence
little or no seed in this crop. If bumble
bees were sufficiently numerous, there
is no reason why much larger yields of
clover seed might not be expected than
at present.
Here is what a well informed farmer
says about it:
“It was formerly thought that the
world rested on the shoulders of Atlas.
I can prove that its prosperity rests on
the bumblebee. The world cannot pros
per without the farmers’ product The
farm will not be productive without
clover. We cannot raise clover without
seed, and we cannot have clover seed
without the bumblebee, because it is
this insect that carries the pollen from
flower to flower, securing its develop
ment and continuance. Let us- learn to
know and to protect our friends. ’

Fully Guaranteed.
Each piano and organ in the Hudson
House Block is fully guaranteed by the
wealthiest piano and organ man
ufacturers in the United States, and
any bank in this country will confirm
the statement that such a guarantee is
as good as any that can be given. Do
not be lead to believe that any other
guarantee clothed in ambiguous lan
guage is any better, for if such as the
Steinway, Knabe and Cliickering do
not give any different than is given on
the pianos in the Hudson House Block
there is something not exactly right
about it. Some say they will guarantee
a piano ‘Muring its life.” Well, what
is its life. Can anyone tell how long
anything will live? It may live two
years, and it may not. Then who can
tell when a piano is dead. The fair
and square way of making a guarantee
is to say just how many years you will
guarantee it, as anything else is guax*-
anteed. It is proof positive that a
guarantee “during its life” ’ is not the
best way to put it in the fact that the
leading manufacturers of, the world
will not give such a guarantee, and
never have.
Keene’s Quarter Cigar.
Tom Keene was a good story teller.
“For ten years, ” so went one of his
tales, “I bought all my theatrical cos
tumes from one dealer, and as during
tnuch of that time I was playing many
new parts in the old California theater
stock company of San Francisco my
trade was a matter of considerable im
portance. When I was about to leave
the slope and come east, I went to make
a final order and bid my costumer good-
by. ‘I’m very sorry you’re going, ’ he
said. ‘Here, Jake 1’ calling to a clerk.
‘Run out and get Mr. Keene a good
quarter of a dollar cigar. *
“As Jake started my costumer whis
pered behind his hand, ‘Two for a quar
ter, Jake; two for a quarter. * ”
