POLK MILLER AT HOUSTON. Mr. Polk Miller has arranged to be in Houston, Tex., during the reunion of the United Confederate Veterans, and will give his recital May 22, 23 and 24th in Assembly Hall. Polk Miller is one of the original members of R. E. Lee Camp Confederate Veterans, of Richmond, Va., one of the first camps organized after the war. He will be one of its delegates Mr. Miller has appeared before Confederate Camps in Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Kentucky Tennessee and Missouri, and has many personal friends in all these States. His entertainment is not a lecture, and there is not a dry moment in it. His songs, stories, etc., are brimful of fun. He is certainly the best delineator of the peculiar wit and humorous characteristics of the old time plantation negro in existence. Rev. J. William Jones, Chaplain of the University of Virginia, says that "Mr. Miller's dialect recital is a chapter of Southern history which all ought to be familiar with. The old Virginia plantation negro of ante-bellum days has almost entirely passed away, and few of the young men have ever seen him. His caricature as presented in many books, magazines and newspapapers is very far from the real character whom our fathers received a savage from the slave ships of Old and New England, and so far elevated,Christianized and enlightened, that our Northern brethren in 1865 deemed him worthy of citizenship. Polk Miller represents him just as he was,and incidentally brings out the kindly relations which existed between master and slave."

If the VETERAN was called upon to name a business man in the city of Nashville whose career is deserving of special mention, he would not go amiss if the name of J. P. Givens was singled out. Less than fifteen years ago Mr. Givens, then a country boy, left the farm in an adjoining county and came to the city in search of work. It was not long after arriving until he secured a place, for the shrewd business men could see in his countenance that determination and honest purpose which would fit one for valuable service. His first work was for the Weil clothing firm, where he started at the tail end of the long list of clerks. Promotion and advance of salary came regular with the years, until at the end of five years he was given an interest in the large business, and the same continued until the great fire in 1891, which wiped out the contents of the building when the firm wound up its affairs. INVENTION. Ice Made Without Cost. Every Family Given an Op. portunity to Make its Own Ice at Home. Can Be Made Quickly, and in Quantities From Five to Five Hundred Pounds. One of the most wonderful inventions of the nineteenth century is now being presented to the Southern public by the Home Ice Maker Company, of this city. which proposes to furnish each family with a machine which will make from five to five hundred pounds of ice daily, at absolutely no cost after having provided themselves with the Home Ice Maker. In fact, it is the quickest, cheapest, and most convenient means of supplying each household with an abundance of pure ice. The Home Ice Maker is very simple in its construction, and, in fact, no labor; yet it does its work quickly, taking about two and a half to four hours to make a freeze. While the scientific world has been wrestling with this question for years, the Home Ice Maker Company is the first to place upon the market an individual ice machine at a price within the reach of all. The Company propose to at once establish agencies in every State in the Union for the purpose of supplying this long-felt want, and there is no longer any excuse for being without the greatest of all luxuries-fresh butter and milk and good drinking water. The ice is made by a chemical process which is entirely new, and the chemicals used are non-odorous, non-poisonous and indestructible. One of the most remarkable features in connection with compound is that constant use does not effect its cold-producing power; consequently,the same chemical can be used indefinitely, the only cost being the original purchase of the machine. Thoroughly familiar with the affairs of the old firm, Mr. Givens, thereupon, opened up business across the street on his own account as successor. where he remained until the Weil building was remodeled, when he moved into it and ever since he has been alone, and the mammoth six-story building corner of Broad and Market, packed with clothing, shoes and gents' furnishing goods, tells of his wise management and unprecedented prosperity. It proudly ranks refrigerator, which will save the cost of the outthe city, and Mr. Givens stands high as the largest clothing establishment in as a prosperous merchant. The wholesale department is patronized by merchants in all portions of Tennessee and adjoining States, and it is the aim of Mr. Givens to prepare in a still larger way for the visitors to the Centennial, with a view to covering the entire South with his trade. It takes men of the go-aheadativeness of Mr. Givens to meet the requirements of the times. He does not stand back to trail in after others who dare to lead, but THE LIVURA MFG. CO. leads the way and is showing to the world that pluck and perseverance if rightly directed brings reward. 111 Duane Street, NEW YORK In addition to the Ice Maker, the Company will make family refrigerators, using chemicals instead of ice. Attachments can be made to any fit in a few months, as the same chemical can be used over and over again. Chemical in a refrigerator with the Company's attachments will produce a lower temperature by from 6 to 8 degrees than can possibly be gotten with ice. The Company is composed entirely of Nashville gentlemen thus making it strictly a home enterprise. The merits of the machine will certainly insure for it a liberal patronage. The Company has established headquarters in Noel Court, where the Ice Maker can be inspected by any one interested. For further particulars, address THE HOME ICE MAKER CO.. Nashville, Tenn. Strong Endorsement Of the Electropoise by Rev. W. H. De- Would Not Take a Thousand Dollars for The following is from Rev. W. H. DePuy, A.M., D.D., LL.D., editor of the People's Cyclopedia, and several other well known works, and now assistant editor of the Christian Advocate at New York, a position which he has filled for more than twenty years: NEW YORK, Dec. 20, 1893. Myself and family have received so much benefit from the use of your Electropoise. and I have become so thoroughly convinced of its practical value as a curative agent that I feel warranted in commending it without reserve to the public. One of my friends, a widely known and highly esteemed clergyman and educator, after using the Electropoise for nearly two years in his family, said to me more than once, after thoroughly testing its merits, that if he could not get another he would not take $1,000 for it. I cheerfully give you my permission to use this brief note in any way which may aid you in introducing the instrument to the attention of any community. Very truly yours, W. H. DEPUY. 150 FIFTH AVE., NEW YORK, April 5, 1895. John E. DaBois, Esq., President of the Electrolibration Co.-My Dear Sir: Please say in response to the enclosed inquiry just received, that my estimate of the value of the ELECTROPOISE. as expressed in my testimonial bearing date Dec. 20, 1893, has not diminished, but, on the contrary, has greatly increased, and my confidence in the merits of this method of curesimple, convenient, economical and effective as it is-has constantly grown with my increasing observation and experience.
