OUT OF THE WooDs.-We are glad to
inform our readers in this county, who
have taken insurance upon their lives in
the Centennial Life Co., that the Temporal
ry check to the operations of the compa-
ny, owing to recent decision of the At
torney General, is now removed, and that
it is about ready to resume operations up
on sure basis. The company has been
reorganlZcd as stock company, and
stock subscriptions to the amount of $780,
600 have been taken by the solid men of
Burlington, such men as Hon. John II.
Gear and others. The sum necessary to
secure the policy holders has by this time
been deposited with the Auditor of State,
thus placing the company upon a sure
foundation. Mr.. Dunlap, the general
agent for this section of the State, will be
here this week or the carly part of next,
with the Auditors certificate, when the
business of taking risks will be resumed
with vigor. We have been placed in pos
session of enough facts to convince us
that the management of the Centennial
Life is composed of honorable and re-
sponsiblc men, who have had no other in
tention than to deal fairly and legitimate
ly with the public. The defect IN the
plan of organization was not noticed at
first, and upon the rendition of the de-
cision of the Attorney General, steps were
Immediately taken to comply with the
law. This was more than successful, and
the company is now OH firm basis of
paid up capital. 1t is cherished institu'
ton of Burlington, and has among its
stockholders some of the best citizens OF
