REASONS FOR INsURING IN THIS COMPANY:
1st. This is a Western Company, managed
by H'eSteT4s men, whose known financial char
acter, ability and position, affords ample guar
aranty for its careful and successful manage
ment.
I'd. It's policies are all non, forJettiag.
3D.. Premiums all cash. 1t receives no notes
and gives none. Policy Holders have 40 in
upon their Policies.
4th. Dividends and losses are paid in cash.
9th. lnsures at IOteer rates than any East
9Th. Its risks are in the West, where the
rate OF mortality is lOaoer and the rate Of in
tereSt higher than in the East; hence the accu-
mutation of dividends to the Policy Holder is
greater than in any Eastern Company.
9Th. 1t has no restriction upon travel.
Sth. Its dividends are made upon the cOitrt-
button plan.
9th It's business is exclusively Life hasur-
dnce.
DIVIDENDS

ums paid, hence the Company that loans its
assets at the highest rate of interest, can give
you the largest dividends Eastern Compa-
mics invest their monies at sic per cent. while

ion, for he gives US the Times comments on
whatever occurs here very promptly The fol-
lowing from its editorial on the proposed
change of Democratic candidates is curious
mixture of sagacty and nonsense, and we
give it for what it is worth:
The Times says the Democrats will doubtless
think it best to fight the battle to the end, and
lose If it must be with Governor Seymour at
their head, rather than at so late an hour take
Mr. Chase as their leader. Although the pow
er will be thrown into the hands of the Radi-
Gals, General Grant is likely to act with more
discrimination than the zealots of the party
he has eyinced kindly feelings for the South

under more favorable conditions than with
General Grant at the head of the executive

woman who was living in the family of Mr..
Wider as she was seen going towards the
barn about the time of the fire, and had before
threatened mischief The loss which amounts
to about $500 is severe one to Mr. Wilder, but

taking measures to rebuild the barn and make
up in part at least his loss.
