Last week Mr R N Speigner stated in this paper that I would succeed him the 1st of January as manager of the Kingst^^e Insurance, Real Estate & Loan Company. But Mr Speigner will continue to be interested in the welfare of the company. I have just come into this county,' and am acquainted with only a few I of the people, but it is my purpose j to get acquainted with our patrons and others as soon as possible. In behalf of the company, I wish to thank our patrons for past favors, and we heartily solicit your patronage in the future. To those of you who have not patronized us yet, I would ask that you give us a trial. If you do not see fit to do that, come , in the office, anyhow. I shall be glad to form your acquaintance, and if there is anything I can do for you I will be glad to do it (this of course 1 applies to everybody). I To those who are not very well , acquainted with our business I wish , to give a few pointers. We represent the best fire insurance companies in the world, such as, The 1 Home, Liverpool and London and 11 Globe, Hartford, Aetna, German- | American, Southern Underwriters, Southern Stock Fire, and others. We give you protection against the 1 loss of your horses, cattle, and other 1 stock. For life insurance we rep- i resent the Southern Life & Trust , Company, which has a record unexcelled by any company in the United States.
