lIlHIS Society, which confines it's bust
a ness exclusively TO assuring the lives
of persons resident in the West Indies,
presents advantages such as no other As
surance Company, labouring in the same
field, can offer. It's scale of Premiums,
although considerably lower than that of
any other Company, has nevertheless been
found quite adequate TO provide for the
risk of life in the West Indies, and sufi-
Gent TO create large surpluses, out Of
which ReverSionary Bonuses, averaging
% per cent per annnm upon the amount
assured have been distributed among tt e
Members Of the Society.
Its career, during a period of 20 years,
has clearly demonstrated the fact that the
lives of persons residing in this part 70
the world, are, when carefully selected,
almost as valuable as those inhabiting
Europe, and that they do not demand
such excessive Premiums as are charged
by every other Company.
The following abridged Table shows
the Premiums required to assure 500,

The School Fund.


Where and what is il? AK q state barn.

loaned TO the State, for greater security
against loss The fact is, the Regency has
squandercd the fund, and now tax the PEG
Pile for the amount annually distributed
among the counties, for the support of
schools. There Is no school, fund, except
as drawn from the people by taxation. The
Regency have squandcred the money, and
the people are Vow paying interests on
the amount squandered. The following is
frou the PrarIe du CHEN Courier.
The SCReoL FUNDs-Persons who are
well informed, are Ia the constant practice
Of saying thai. THE School Fund has
been squandersd.' or in other words, that
there is now no such Fund in existence
Now, the truth Is hat there is MT one

Well then, says our Republican School
District officer, where does our School
Money come from each year?'
My respected friends, 1t does not come from
any School Fund in the State Treasury,
1.-THE Fund was used mp not long ago ! but
i does come from your own pockets.
Ia this way:

the amount needed each year for this pur
pose-it is assessed upon each courtyard
being collected, and big share of it tax

triauted among the Districts. They
charge the people for handling their own
money.
The whole thing is hunlbug intended
to delude people. The School Fund was
merged in the War Bonds and when the
general government refunded the money TO
the State, it was again used up, and to day
there Is not one dollar OF School Fund in
the treasury, and the State is in debt over
two million dollars that must also be paid

and proofs which were ever presented IN
the case. These applications were heard and
considered by the Governor. ana after ma

without qualification, ana without holding
out the least hope Of reconsIderng. SIX
or seven months pass away after the last re

Regency Chairman, appears on the scene.
He undertakes the. JOB "f procuring par

We are again hearing from all quarter.
the old, Old story Farmers are holding
grain for higher prices. Last year ex per-
fence IS SO soon forgotten. Because farmer
is good, is 10 reason at all for his letting
his store debts run along months after they
should have been paid. What do the
farmers seem to care for the anxiety and
distress they cause a merchant by not pay.
|, Ing lin his dues? Why should merchants
be so tender of the farmer that they allow
him TO bring them to as near ruin as ia
possible and live through, and only to
humor the farmer in their idea of such
large advances IN wheat soon? Ever year
1t Is getting worse, and it must be stopped
sometime, then why not now? If farmers
VIII not sell wheat enough to pay you what
they owe you, sue them and bring them to
realize that they are not the only people
who have any rights that ought to be
respected.
We cannot allow this as an excuse for
your letting your account with US go unpaid
any longer. You owe Us money and the
farmers owe you, SO that virtually i, is our
money that the farmers refuse TO pay, and
We can't allow such to be the case any
longer We state the sentiment of the
entire trade, when we state these truths.
We cannot, ought not, WILL NOT allow ouI
money to be looked up by the foolish VIII ms
