Did You Visit a Friend
Who Bought An
AUTOPIANO
For Christmas?
Did you notice how much more cheerful the home was, and how
much better you were entertained than at your former visits. Mu
sic makes the Home Happier, and the Autopiano makes the music
just as you want it.
For a Few More Days
The Great Removal Sale
Makes it possible and easy for any one to buy and pay for an Au
topiano, or any one of the many makes of Pianos and Player Pi
anos. All we suggest is: Don't put it oif too long. Small month
ly payments, without interest.

J \\ ICLLSHL' KG, Va.. l.'ec. 27. ? Con
siderable speculation is being indulged
In throughout the slat.: as to the choice
of the members to preside in the senate
i and house of deb-fates at the coming
.session of ihe l-'KlsIat lire. Inasmuch as
the lower house is iVinocratic and the
upper branch l!? -publican, each party
will ha ve a presiding officer In the next
session. As Brooke county sends a Ite?
j publican In the person' of Hun. Thomas
? I. Mahan of ("'oil an dice to represent
j them in the lower house. Mr. Mahan
j will be one of the minority.
In the tipper house, however, Brooke
| county has a very able representative
.from, the First senatorial district. Be
j -ddes being honored by the election of
| Hon". Klmer Hough as senator, Mr.
; Hough has been signally honored i>y
; the voluntary support of several dls
i tinguisbeil members of Hie upper branch
? Ms their choice for tin- presidency. Sir.
: Hough's name ha* hern mentioned but
. recently, but because of his state-wide
I prominence and his w -II known ability
J as a lender and his fair and impartial
; business judgment his name has been
' ivell recived and his friends believe him
to In? the logical man for the senate
honors. Mr. Hough being a newly elect
ed senator, without previous legislative
j experience, has !>? en very modest and
reticent concerning the use,of his name
I by his friends, bill they have been ,'ic
' live in his behalf and refuse to he
I stilled by his statement ta'it he had not
i consiil-red being a candidate. The fa
vorable mention Mini he has received
. -ind the voluntary support that he has
.been promised Is an lienor that is to be
| highly regarded and the local friends of
Mr. Hough are very much gratified and
; feel Hint should he consent to having
I his name presented before that body he
j would be n strong contender.
