speak so highly of the house. Their coming
among us in the very dullest season of the
year, the extremely large stock they carry,
the vast quantities OF goods daily sold, are
puzzles for everybody; hence we hear, where
are they found? They come from New York,
OF the large manufacturing establishment OF
A. Steinberg go, 81 Walker street. And
why can they command such n trade? They
are importers and manufacturers of all they
sell, and make 1t 4 matter of Importance to
let everybody find out that what they sell is
the best and lowest in price, and have no
opposition In the city OF Dallas, for they are
daily represented In the b2st market of the

Subscribers in Arrears.

We have many such yet, who have never
got their accounts squared up since we en-
tered upon the advance.payment system.
We have reirained from duuning them Of
late and do not intend to dun them again in
the paper, to offend the eye of those who
pay in advance and do not like to read duns
for somebody else. But we want each and
every one TO examine the label date on his
paper and send US the amount due without
further proceedings on our part. Any one
can tell what that amount is by figuring at
so year for past time and year ahead.
If you wish to pay only up to date, reckon
at $3.50 per year.

The Compartment Milk Pan.

Ofthe large number Of pans which have
been brought out within q few years, the
Compartment pan, so far as we know, stands
as high as any in the ssti nation of dairy
men. At least we know of many butter
makers who would not exchange it for any
pan on record, The popularity Of this pan
is that it is divided by partition into two
unequal parts, by means of which it is
adapted to the ever varying quantity Of
milk from dairy, or to varying number
of COWS. 1t is pleasant to know that the
Increasing demand for these pans has com.
pslled the manufacturers, Msssrs w. o..
Campbell q Co Of RichfOrd, to enlarge their
qu artsrs and make preparations for an I'M

Speaking Of boards Of directors, and their
failure to attend to business, reminds US Of a
case in Concord. There was FIRE insurance
company there, few years ago, Offered
mainly by retired business men. Insurance
policies had to be approved by three direC-
tors, aud the rules gave each Of tn csc fee
Of ten cents. There was as much competi.
ton for this work as there is among Massa.
chusetts coroners for a corpse. Several
directors had keys to the post Office boz Of
the company, and there was considerable
strife for the letters. A wag got hold of =
blank Que day, aud filled out carefully su
application for insurance on a powder mill.
One lucky director got it from the Office,
and at ouce approved il without reading.
Two others followed, happy in tho thought
that they had each earned ten cents, as we'll
as served the company. The laugh which
went around when the story was told will
not soon be forgotten Neios.
