Cove have received the tenth an
nual report of this company and find
that they are in hourishing and pros
porous condition. On the first of Aug.
last, the company had at risk Sl3,l2l,-
1877 90, having in force 1862 policies,
being an increase of 1910 in one year.
The company has on hand cash capital
of pools 90, being an increase in one
year of $3.50 IA, after paying all losses.
There can scarcely be found an intelli
gent farmer who will not admit that the
fundamental position of this company is
correct, and that it is entitled to the con-
fdence and support of the public. We
understand that Mr.. w. NJ. Tibbets, an
authorized agent of the company, who
has been acting in that capacity in Gale
donna Co. has removed into this vicinity.
He has located at Barton Landing, and
will be found ready to insure any and
every body inside Orleans Co. He has
made arrangements 10 pay all losses
when due, and those who may have bust
ness with him will find him prompt and
reliable. This company has been in OPP
Grafton eleven years and has made no
assessments. From the fact that the
company insures only property not haz-
ardous, and also from the fact of their
great popularity and the increased amount
of cash capital, we feel warranted in say
ing that no assessments are probable.
John II. Kellam of Irasburgh, is the
Director for Orleans County.
