tPo"isout sOaDuuuanCly 50 upon Lnose aihiS'-
cd by disaster; the countless benefits it
showers upon the suffering-all these are
fast becoming apparent and more warmly
appreciated than ever before. People are
beginning to understand and, to under
stand in earnest, that their best interests
are conserved by these wise and benevo-
lent corporations. Thus understanding and
appreciating it next follows that parties
seeking security in fire insurance compan-
les should determine beyond the possibili-
ty of doubt the stability of the institu-
tions in which they risk their property
their all. g.
We're we asked to designate an agent
| who in himself possessed responsibility
nd integrity and at the same time repre-
sented none but responsible companies we
should at once designate Mr.. A. Gardner,
Jr., No. l07 South High street, and we are
| confident that the response would be In ac-
| cordance with the opinion entertained by.
every candid business man in this COM
munity. In another column we print
schedule of losses paid by Mr.. Gardner, on
policies written, by him during the three
years just past. ~ fisTas
MIR. Gardner has long been identified
with the Insurance business in this city and
represents no less than fifteen different fire
and marine Insurance companies, whose
losses in the time above specified amount to
the sum of S74929 65, all of which were
adjusted and paid with rapidity unpar-
Lalieled in this or any other country. with !
perhaps, a solitary exception, these losses
were paid in less than ten days after de-
struction. UDlike less responsible agents
Mr.. A. isnot compelled to await the pro-
longed and oftentimes unnecessary delay
of the staid and slow going officers of insu-
surance, but effects an adjustment Just as
soon as proof and estimates can be oh
tanned.
AS lan instance of the rapidity with
which ''the old reliable" transacts his busi-
ness we mention the case of Michael Der
rer, insured not. long since in the sMer-
chants" ofCincinnati. Late one evening
during the recent drought. Mr.. Derrer ap-
piled to Mr.. Gardner for insurance upon
lot Of wood lying in the vicinity of one Of
the railroad lines entering this city. The
policy was written September 25th, the
premium amounting to $4.05. In three
days thereafter the wood caught fire and a
portion OF it was consumed. The day fol-
lowing an estimate of the loss was
made, and in less than one week from date
of policy, Mr.. Derrer received $3l5.56; suf-
ficient to cover the entire loss.
To all owning property we advise insu-
n,
Agent from whom it should be obtained-
To all acquainted with Gardner and his
companies this advice is not necessary, but
is given solely for the benefit of those who
are strangers to the man and his charac-
teristics for promptness and reliability. =
JACKSON TOWNSHIP JoLLIF1cAT1oN.-On
Invitation of our. Democratic friends of
jackson township, we drove down to Bor-
ror's store on Tuesday evening last, to as
sist in a township celebration over the late
Democratic victories. Such township
turnout We never did see. There were
fully 500 persons present, and happier,
jollier, freer-hearted, pleasanter we nev-
er passed an evening with. Matt. Martin,
Esq, was called for and made one of his
characteristic, earnest, telling speeches,
showing it to be the duty of the Democra-
cy in the day of their victory to '.let mer-
cy temper Justice" and urging his hearers
to refrain from following the Radical exam
pie, but to cultivate neighborly and gener-
Gus feelings and ostracise no man because
he differed in political opinions. 1t was
splendid effort and was listened to with
marked attention. After the speaking, the
crowd Joined in singing a song to the tune
of t'John Browns body" and then came
the fun, rockets, Roman candles, and
other fireworks were set off, fire balls were
thrown, tar barrels made the heavens lu-
minous with their blaze, and all were as
happy as men and women could be. 1t
was a glorious occasion, and the arrange
ments for making the jubilee "a success
were perfect But our friends of old Jack
son are not. in the habit OF doing things
halfway. When they had their rat hunt
during the canvass, it was an immense al
fair. When they fitted up the two great
wagons for the Democratic meeting held
in Columbus on the Both of September,
they were of those wagons that received
the highest commendation. In short, what
ever the whOle-souled Democrats of jack
son township and their beautiful and ac-
omplished wives and daughters UNDER,
take, they do up magnificently.. Why, it
lis an acknowledged fact. that they have
handsomer, fatter, smarter babies in Jack
SON than in any other township in the
county, and more of them. r.. sa.. -..i sd
