THE KENT COUNTY MUTUAL INSURANCE
20. The annual meeting of policy holders of
the hent County Mutual Insurance Company
was held at the office Of their agent, J. S. Huff
hngton, In this town, Monday, I7th inst, for
tne purpose OF receiving the report of the Sec
retary and Treasurer, and electing directors to
serve tor the ensuing year. The reports of
TINS company are not as explicit and compre-
henslve as they might be, though its general
management Is entirely satisfactory to the pol
icy holders. F-
The following exhibit shows the condition of
company up to January lst, 1870:

The assets of the company including depOsit
notes, money loaned on individual bond, and
cash III hand, amount to $392, POS. r. The
losses sustained during the year amount to S..
COS. "A, which we believe is the largest loss sus
talned by the company during any one year
previous. But hve per cent. dividend was paid
to the policy holders, the company reserving
about $4,000 OF Its earnings to add to the in
Vestment fund for the purpose of immediate
payment OF any loss by fire it may sustain. 1t
will be seen by the above exhibit the COMPANY
Is rapidly increasing in magnitude, and its pros
perlty should be entirely satisfactory to the
policy holders. No corporation in the State
IS in better condition than the Kent, County
Mutual Insurance Co., and persons having pro.
perty to insure need have no fear of insuring
in this company. Geo. B. Dickson, for MANY
years Secretary, and JAS. Cowgirl, Treasurer,
have resigned, and Andrew j. Wright has
been appointed, at a salary of 1900, to per.
form the services of both Secretary and Trea-
surer.
For Directors, the following persons were
elected, to serve the ensuing year: Geo. w. |
