Attention is called to the advertisement
under this heading in another column
This Company is Of recent organization and
holds its headquarters in Frostburg An
examination of its system exhibits not sim
ply plans upon the Life Insurance princi-
pie, although it includes this idea in its
widest scope, but makes provision, also,
for the illness of its members.
In the first place, after paying member
ship fees persons are entitled to from $500
to $4,000 in the event of death. This mon
ey is not drawn from the general fund,
but is collected by small assessments upon
individual members as soon as possible af, er
the fact of death can be made known-the
payment of these assessments being Obliga
tory upon all-making it entirely mutual
In intent and character
The same procedure Is largely followed
In the event of illness of a member, cN-
cept that the assessments are almost tri-
fling in comparison with the amount a
large number of contributors would thus
raise to relieve distress.
An examination of their plans is invited
by the Company, who are sure they can
make it to the general interest, especially
of this community, to join with them in
establishing an institution SO promising of
benefit to the town and community

been conferred upon me. | was not

for your Fair than I should have done
for any one else under the same cir

not think they have done anything
more than they would expect others
to do for them under similar circum-
stances. | am sure we did not give
our little assistance with the expecta
ton of receiving anything for it. We
simply desired to see your Fair sue
cess and we We're willing to do all
we could to make it so, which We
would do for any other. However,
we will let that matter rest. Until
short time ago | had no suspicion of
ANYTHING of this sort, and it certainly
is a surprise to me, particularly to re-
cieve so handsome and valuable Il
present as this. | hardly know how
to thank you for this mark of respect
can only say, my friends, I accept
it in the same spirit with which it is
given, and | do assure you | shall
preserve and cherish it, and | hope
the friendly spirit now existing may
be increased between us. | do not

Cash,

MIR ErIT0E i, with many others,
have read your editorial under the
caption of "Cash. in an issue Of your
paper few weeks since, and while We
all agree upon one point, viz: the gen
cral good desired-ani that your adj
vocacy of the adoption Of the cash
system BY our business community,
springs from a wish to enhance the
being of our people. This, !
think. is unquestioned still there are
many things connected with our way
of doing things that you have not
dwclled upon. Permit ne, therefore,
10 ask of you the solution Of one or
two questions:
How are those strangers (who
come to US from the other side with
out a cent to bless their names when
they reach here to get along? Every
one here knows that hundreds Of peo-
pie in our neighborhood came here
without anything, save their personal
effects, and these often Of scanty ex-
tent, who were taken to store and
there would buy complete outfit from
barrel of flour and cook stove down
to anutmeg and crater, and thus owing
alone to the blessing Of credit they
We're saved from what would have been
absolute wunti This is every word
true, as nearly all of us, who to-day
are property owners can testify
Would you leave them to the cold
charity of the world ? | hardly
think YOU would then why adj
vocate system that will crush
the poor ? | admit that as a
rule merchandise can be sold cheaper
for cash than upon credit but the
question recurs-what will those peo-
pie do who horcnt the cash? If they
cant buy on credit, then, upon your
theory, they must go without; this
would be serious and sad consequence
if they happened to want to buy flour.
The inference is, they must starve or
steal to suffer the one or practice the
other is hardly to be encouraged in a
christian community.
What say you, Mr.. Editor? Come,
discuss both sides; then perhaps, you
may be able to accomplish good.
Don t understand me as holding that
the credit system here is faultle.s. 7
well know that like everything hui
man it is not perfect. | strongly CON
denim, in public as in private, the
man who will buy goods on credit when
he has no money, and then, when he
has money, spends it at places whore
he could not obtain credit for a dime S
worth of sugar. Such man is not
only without honor, but positively
without principle There are some
who do it, but to the good name Of
scores be it said the majority of people
will not compromise their sense Of
right by following course so disrepu-
table
Let the people hear fully from you
on these points, and, if you can, clear
away what seems to them insurmount-
able difficulties in the way of cash
system. A MINER.
There is "food for reflection in the
energetic intcrrogatories and observa-
tons of "a Miner" We defer reply
until next week. Meanwhile, let 9TH
ers speak out.-ED.
