The Central Missouri Insurance Com
naOu


On the first page of our paper will be
found the Charter granted by the present
Legislature to our citizens for the Estab-
lishment of nm Insurance Company, which
on persual, will be found to be one of the
most liberal charters ever granted by the
law making powers Of this State to any SIM
liar Institution.
1t is, we learn, the intention of the corpo-
rators 10 take steps for the stock to be TAX
en-, and the company organized and ready
oI business in as short time as possible;
the premiums paid by the citizens of this
place 10 foreign Insurance Co.'s annually is
not less than ten thousand dollars, which a.
mount, could as well be retained in the pock-
els of our citizens as TO be sent abroad 10
aid in enriching others. That the business
OF Insurance is profitable there is abundant
proof. We observe from notice Of work
jus, published in New York. OH the subject
that the profits of the companies doing bus
mess in that State for the year just passed,
averages over sixteen per cent. and the av-
erage profits Of the ST. Louis local compa-
mics are much larger.
Tie company to be organized under the
charter above named, will, in addition to
other liberal privileges, have the right &c
receive deposits Of specie and currency, al
low interest thereon, buy and sell exchange,
and discount business notes and time bills
The capital Of the company will not be less
than fifty thousad nor more than five hun
dred thousand dollars; and parties taking
stock will be required TO pay in ten per
cent, Of their respective subscriptions, and
TO execute their notes for the balance with
security, that will be satisfactory to the Di'
rectors. Due notice will be given IN this
paper of the opening of books for subscrip'
tion 70 the capitol stock.

future occasion. Others, however, marched
boldly up to The President, sticking manu-.
scripts at him, in regular succession. The
President bowed as the papers were pleC
