Col. David r Hunt, leading and poprl
| lar citizen Of Cincinnati, and a prominent
officer of the Union Central Life Insurance
Co., of Cincinnati, was in town last week,
establishing an agency for his Company.
This is the insurance company of which
Gen. Bonham was general agent for four
years, and ranks among the strongest and
| best in the United States. Col. Hunt was
much pleased with our town. He slys it
reminded him more of Northern town
than any Southern place he had seen.
The Col. met number of our citizens
who were much impressed with bis genial
and affable ways and manners.
An exchange says: Some people object
to being dunned The way to avoid this
is to pay all bills promptly when due.
We have reference especially to newspa-
per subscribers. No sensible man should
or ever does get angry because man duns
him for his money. A dun is not an i'm
parchment of subscribers integrity, but
is simply an outpouring of publishers
necessities. For instance, one thousand
men owe man from one to tea dollars
he has to dun them in order to pay his e1-
penses. Instead of getting angry and
stopping his paper because the publisher
asks for what is due, the subscriber should
thank the editor for waiting so patiently,
and pay up like man."
The New Years number Of the STANDARD
Designer is an ESPECIALLY interesting one,
even for that always up-to-date publica-
ton. It exhibits q charming array of
fashionable winter toilettes for ladies,
misses and little folks, also the latest
designs in millinery and neckwear. The
contents OF the book, outside the fashion
departments, are we'll worth noting; not
only for the reading matter but the illus
trationa. The lovers of flowers will be
particularly interested in seasonable arti-
Gle on this subject, and the latest inven-
tions in bicycle accessories should claim
the attention of the wheelman and woman.
The other departments relating to art,
literature, fancyWork, toilet, cookery and
the household are all fully up to the usual
high standard maintained by this maya
zine.
