for the facts In regard to an outrage reported to
have been perpetrated upon him on the 14tb of

learn thai Mr. Honey, who is presiding elder of
what is known as the Waco District in the
West Texas Conference, the district compris-
ing both white and colored churches, went on
Sunday, June 18th, to Bolton for the purpose of
holding quarterly conference with the colored

DEFAMATION OF NoN-BoARD COMPANIES
During the last few months, on several occa-
sions we have been informed, that it was and
is the practice of certain agents of prominent
National Board companies in this city and else
where. Extending in fact from East to West
and from North to South to indulge in whole
sale sweeping denunciation of the solvency of
non-board companies without discrimination or
exception. This is contemplate method of
conducting any business, and especially the
fire insurance business. 1t is the vilest way of
obtaining patronage, and we pity the company
which has for its agent any person so despica-
bly, mean, as to run down his rivals in one gem
eral strain of defamation.
This journal has been advocate and sup
porter of local and National Boards from the
day of its first issue. though we have freely
criticised blundars and mistakes in their n an
agemeat, and shall continue to do So We
recognize the fact that amoLg the companies
outside the National and local boards, are some
which are as conservative, as prudent, as re-
liable, as prompt and as safe in their dealings
with the public. as any of those inside of these
organizations. We might name several which
possess equal experience and talent with any of
their loyal neighbors' and some also with large
and well invested assets which have been as
carefully and prudently managed as any of
be applied, excepting the single Que of uphold
ing board rates, they are the peers of the best
and cannot be sneered down, lied down or de-
famed to death. 1t is an unworthy spirit
which animates such defamation.
We would in no manner be understood as
claiming these merits for all non-board compa-
MES, even as we would not claim all the virtue ).
stability and soundness par excellence or all
board companies. In fact there are some board
companies which offer weak points for at
tack, quite as devoid of superior merit as their
non-board rivals. We hold up to public gaze
the bad and Indifferent. whether of the board
or non-board species with equal satisfaction,
and shall not spare the rod in furnishing both
alike if they are guilty of peccadillos in their
business transactions 1t is not our province to
defend any company because it is IN the board,
| any more than to assail another company which
| is out of the board. We do hold it, however,
to be exceedingly impudent md malicious to
| denounce all non-board companies in the same
breath. because it happens that some steal
away risks below the tariff rates. Two wrongs
| never made q right yet, and foul and noisy
| agents who talk about their neighbors will dc
| to remember it.-lVestern Insurance hecieic.

There are many medicines that give transient relief
in sickness without touching the source and seat of
the complaint. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is not
one OF these. The great tonic and restorative does
not cobble the diseased and enfeebed system. 1t is
not mere palliative that only temporarily controls
few unpleasant symptoms. No; its invigorating,
regulating, restorative principle penetrates to the
very source of the difficulty in the fluids and solids of
the body, and hence its radical and thor
ough. In dyspepsia it strengthens the stomach; in
liver complaint it regulates the flow OF bie in con-
stipation 1t promotes punctual habit of body; in
nervous ailments it tones the sentients and motive
hbres; in rheumatism it counteracts PAIN and in
cases Of general debility rehabiates the emaciated
