The Policy Holders Assurance Company
&c 4l,:. liz o,J ,,.4os

The advertisement of this reliable and enter
prising Life Insurance Company appears in
another column, by which it will be seen that
Messrs. B. F. Crayton & Sons have accepted
the agency for this place. The superior man
agement of the affairs of this Company, during
the first year of its existence, has caused it to
rank among the foremost in the United States
Its careful and prudential course confers addi-
tional honor upon its officers, who are widely
known as men Of integrity and ability. There
are two features connected with this Company
worthy of especial attention from those seeking
to provide against future contingencies in be-
half of their families, namely, purely mutual
and strictly cast. The holders of policies re-
ceive the benefit of all profits accruing from
the business, while the cash system is the only
true method of conducting Life Assurance, as
is attested bv the best companies in the world
The Charleston Courier, in noticing the busi-
ness prospects Of this Company, speaks as fol-
lows:
We need not speak of the character of its
managers. Fhcy are well known and arc rep
eut communities in which they reside. The
many friends of this Company will notice with
much qualification the sure and steady progress
it has made and the enviable position that it
has in one year attained. It's officers, though
fully alive to the progress of the business and
prompt to adopt any measures that were for
the best interests of the assured, yet steadily
refused to yield to an unhealthy greed for bust
ness that characterizes the conduct of some
Companies. They were unwilling to leopard
ize, or in any way inure the future interests of
the assured for the sake of present appearances.
They preferred to work prudently, patiently
and perseveringly, trusting that time and expe-
rience would justify the wisdom of their course.
Their reward has come earlier than they had
hoped. This success is due mainly to the sa-
gacity and financial ability of its most worthy
President. Having accomplished 80 much
without means and in the most trying times,
we have no doubt as to the future of this ster-
ling young Company. We predict for it a no.
BILE career of usefulness and honor.

Air Line Railroad.

The proceedings of arpublic meeting, hold in
tho Court House on Saturday night last, will
be found elsewhere in to-aay's ISSUE Although
the subject had been freely discussed among
our citizens for several days previous, only
few hours notice was given to the people gen
orally, and there was a large attendance OF our
|; ;towusmen, including the most active and enter
prising amongst us. The Anderson Brass Band
enlivened the occasion by sweetest music, be-
fore the crowd fully assembled and after the
business was concluded.
The action of the meeting was truly impor-
tant, and it will either have the effect of secu-
ring the Road or result in total abandonment
of any future effort. The committee has gone
energetically to work, and has taken measures
to communicate with President Buford by the
most rapid means, and ascertain when and
where it will suit him to have personal inter
view with the committee. This conference
will likely take place within the next few days.
of which our readers shall be duly advised.
The citizens of this town and vicinity always
evince a.deep interest when they assemble to
discuss the Air Line Railroad. Any apparent
apathy heretofore is not attributable to want of
interest on the part of citizens generally. They
are ready to discharge their whole duty in
reference to this project, and from their long
connection with it, having kept the charter
alive for many years, they are exceeding 10th
to abandon the hope of achieving the result of
their labors in days gone by, now that the Road
is being rapidly pushed to completion. We
are not envious of our neighbors who have been
fortunate enough to be placed upon the line,
and would not for moment detract from their
enterprise and sagacitv; but it is a common
feeling here that Anderson is entitled to much
consideration, from the officers of the Road
and all interested, and we would seek to obtain
fair recognition at their hands.

II. V. Redfleld's Winchester Tenn, Letter
to Cincinnafi COMMERCIAL
A great deal of breath has been
wasted in Congress and other places
concerning the Ku-klux and where
they originated. That question is
now happily at rest. 1t was settled
here to-day. I attended the closing
exercises OF the Donnell Female In
stitute this afternoon. A class in
history were examined. The cause of
of the revolutionary was discussed.
The teacher wanted 10 know if the
men who threw the tea into Boston
harbor were disguised. Yes they were.
If such an event were 10 happen in
this day and time what would the
perpetrators be called? ku-klux, an
swered the sprightly class in ore
voice. "Then," asked the teacher,
+" where was the first Ku-klux out
rage committed? ain Boston," was
the answer. "They were the first
Ku-klux, were they?" he asked, to
which the class responded in the af-
firmative. This settles vexed
question, and throws the responsible
ty of the Ku-klux organization upon
Boston. This miserable city will
have this sin to account for in addi-
ton to the sin of having first brought
the gentle niger from his warm At
rican sands to this country to work
for his board and clothes. -. -. -

Tennessee River Improvements.

We learn from the Chattanooga
Times that Maj. WALTER MCFAR-
LAND, OF the United States Engineer
ing Corps, has been assigned to duty
as Superintendent of the Improve
ment of the Tennessee River, with
headquarters at Huntsville.
A surveying party of twenty men
left Chattanooga last Monday, with
two fiat boats fitted out with supplies,
for tie Muscle Shoals, for the purpose
of surveying the canal route from
Browns Ferry to Florence, around
the Shoals.
In addition to; the work upon the
Tennessee river, the party is charged
with the duty of surveying canal
connecting the Tennessee at Gunters-
Vile with the Coosa near Gadsden.
An appropriation Of $4,000 was made
by the last Congress to provide for this
survey. The Times says the work al
ready done at the Suck, near that city,
las produced great effect. The
steamer Last Chance recently came up
through the Suck with two barges in
tow, without laying line-the first
time such a thing was ever done.
When the work is completed, the Suck
will be no obstruction to navigation
at all.
The improvement Of the Tennessee
River is Of the utmost Importance 10
the states OF Virginia, North Caroli-
ma. Georges, Alabama, Mississippi,
Kentucky and Tennessee, and OF vital
interest TO the trade and commerce OF
tbe nation; and Congress should not
be permitted TO adjourn again without
making appropriations necessary to
complete the canal around Muscle
Shoals. and remove other distractions
/ To navigation in this great river. 1t Is
shame to cur country aud q disgrace
to its legislation that this important
work should have so long been neglec>
