Evbvy dollar invested in permanent improve

Yes, and every dollar invested in manufactur

Accidents.
A new feature perhaps in accident insurance
in the South is the recent arrangement of a
solid company of London, England, with W. W.
Haskell, of this city, so that policies can be is
sued at a small cost per day and running only
during the time that one wishes.
For instance, if you are going to New York or
anywhere on a trip you pay a small amount per
day and in case of accident get, if hurt, $lO or
sls weekly, or if killed $2,000 or $3,000.
Insurance is a grand thing. It enables a
man to provide during a pleasant day for the
trials of a rainy day.
This feature of temporary insurance is a good
one {and no doubt will take well with our
people.

We have located the meanest man.
Stinginess is the card that he plays most.
He is worth several thousand, and when
he can’t borrow a Courant from some one,
he steps around to tbe office and begs one.
If by perchance this being should reach
the "pearly gates in the next world and a
small admittance fee is asked to enter, we
venture that he will step around to shed's
printing office and beg a free pass.
The eminent writers, Vox Populi and

It has been nearly four years since Walter
A. Taylor put on the market a very large quanti
ty of his
"PREMIUM COLOGNE,”
In 6 onnee bottles to compete with Hoyt’s dol
lar size. The peculiar shape of the bottle and
the new glass stoppered dollar style of
TAYLOR'S COLOGNE
making its appearance made this style unsale
able as a dollar article. I have recently pur
chased about three gross of this cologne from
parties in Texas and St. Louis, and offer it at
FIFTY CENTS
per bottle. Bear in mind that this is Taylor’s
Genuine Premium Cologne, nearly four years
old and the last on the market.
