We clip the following letter from the Knox
County Observer. Its tone shows the high
opinion entertained Of the officers of the
Farmers and Merchants Insurance Com
pany, by all who have business relations
with them; especially those who have suf-
stEed in that Company. Their course has
been such as to enable the Company to
build up very large, and satisfactory bu-
siness in this State and which is being sue
cessfully extended into Indiana ard Iowa.
MAQUoN, KNOX Co., H., Sept. rs, '63.
Mr.. Editor Il desire to state to the pub
lie, through your paper, that the Farmers
and Merchants Insurance Company, of
Quincy, His, has this day paid me ten
hundred and fifty dollars, the amount due
from the Company by their policy No. 1884.
And that they have, in adjusting and pay
ing my loss, treated me in business-like
and gentlemanly manner, acting honorably
throughout, SO much so, that I this day in
sure my new House, Barn and contents in
the said Company to the extent of thirty
seven hundred dollars.
1 have adopted the plan Of insuring
against fire and lightning all my home pro-
perty as the safest to pursue, and recon-
mend my friends to the said Company for
insurance. / have found in the burning of
my House, that care in building chimnies
and precaution in other household arrange
ments is not a sure protection against loss
by fire, but that insurance in a good Com
pany is. Respectfully, DAVID HoUsH.
