CARLSTEDT & JOHNSTON,
dealers in dry goods, groceries, etc !,
are a new firm, commencing here
about two months ago, with new
and complete stock. Although a
new firm, the gentlemen composing
1t, are by no means strangers to the
people of this city, as they have both
been for several years Identified with
it's business interests. This fact has
contributed materially to the success
in their present undertaking, for
they are not only known to a large
circle of acquaintances, but they also
brought experience into the business
as we'll. Their stock which is Of a
general character, is made up of
goods of the most reliable character,
and a scale of prices mentioned
that are sure to draw trade. They
have just passed through holiday
trade that might we'll be envied by
many older and larger concerns.
Good and honest goods at lowest
prices is the motto of this house,

Worthington and vicinity.
INSURANCE.
Under this head we desire to call
the attention of the readers of the
ADVANCE to the agency Of S. Kind
lund of this city. Mr.. X. is tho rep.
resentative of several reliable fire in
surance companies for this vicinity,
but his specialties are the Home, of
New York, and the Alliance Hail &
| Cyclone Mutual, of Austin, this
state. Of all the state companies
doing similar business the Alliance
Hail & Cyclone Mutual is the only
company that has paid all losses in
full. Mr.. K. has been engaged in
insurance business here for the past
two years, is we'll and favorably
known, and as the representative of
companies that have stood the sever
est tests, there is no reason why he
should not build up an extensive
business. The ADVANCE commends
Mr.. kindlund, and the companies he
represents to the farmers Of Mobiles

passage tickets by all reliable com
panies to and from Europe, for cash
