and exact justice as possible in reaching
the end sought. It affords the Directors
great pleasure to add that, unless our fill
ture losses exceed even the present rate
(Which they by no means anticipatel, those
members who have insured since Novem-
Der l, 1876, and therefore paid twenty per
cent, have paid sufficient to meet their
liabilities during the life of their policies.
We have said no word of apology would
be offered None is demanded. Our losses,
are heavy, and must be paid. The char
| ter contemplates this method of paying
them, and makes definite provision for the
same. 1t has never been resorted to be-
fore, for the sole reason that hitherto the
advance payments have been sufficient.
While our losses have been severe, they
have been less, in proportion to the amount
at risk than any other company in the
state. UnquestionahIy too large - per
centage have been tinctured with fraud
but of what company is not this more true
than of the Farmers MutualP For GER
tainly its Directors have been untiring in
guarding against temptations to commit
fraud, and in detecting and Furnishing The
guilty. Witness the fact that they have
within the past year, secured the convic
ton OF four inccndiaries, three of whom
are now expiating their crimes at Wind
sor. Including the assessment now laid
no other insurance company in existence
has furnished so cheap insurance to the
people of Vermont as this; and no com
pany has done an equal amount of bust
ness without very much larger percen
tage of cost. Not dollar of the com
pany's funds has been stolen, or hazardeC
in speculative uses, but sacrcdly applied tt
Legitimate ends, according to the bes
knowledge and belief of the Directors
These things being true--and we chal
lenge even our enemies to show the con
trafy-we confidently leave the present
and future interests Of the company in thu
hands of those who have made trial of i
for more than quarter of century.

TO TAN PAYERS.

BY the back-tax law passed at the
last session of the Missouri Legisla-
ture, all the accrued costs and penal
ties. on delinquent tax bills are remit
ted, and forfeiture of real estate is
waved, and the owner is allowed to
relieve it of all tax encumbrance by
simply paying the taxes on it without
interest or penalty; provided he does
SO by December 31st. After that the
collector is required to add 10 per
cent on the bill and bring suit against
every delinquent, employing attorneys
making publications, and otherwise
increasing the costs, all of which will
have to be paid or the delinquent
property will be sold under summary
proceedings and a final deed given to
the purchaser. These back taxes in
clude all kinds of taxes due and I'M
paid from 1865 to this time, and
amount in the whole State to about
five millions of dollars. Delinquents
who do not intend to lose their prop
erty must look out and pay up by
the end of the year.

EXCURSION TO CENTRALIA
GRAND MASONIC sUPFER-MExICo WELL
REPRESENTED.

About 5 o'clock yesterday evening
a coach load of passengers left forthe
grand Masonic supper at C~entralia.
Several prominent Masons from
Mexico, as well as others, were in the
crowd. Among others we noticed
j. Carroll, j. Murray, J. Pasqueth,
r. II. Fowler, w. j. Robinson, DR..
Humphrey and lady, L. Phillips and
daughter, j. b. Clark, j. Coons.
Charles Settles, Kit Carson and quite
Il number of the boys.
When we reached Centralia we
found the hall already crowded, about
80 persons were present from Surge
on and about 80 from Columbia.
We had the pleasure of meeting on
that occasion, Davis of the Sentinel,
Rodemeyer of the Guard, and Carter
of the Leader, Col. Switzler was also
present.
The assembly WAS very much dis
appointed at the failure of DIR. Vim
Gil to appear and deliver the address
for which he was billed.
The supper was simply superb.
Everything that was good was foand
on the tables and the refreshment
tables under the supervision of Mrs.
Ferris and Mrs. Garrard were laden
with all the lighter delicacies.
We think the managers must have
Melted at least 3 or 4 hundred dollars
for the Centralia lodge.
The dining room was crowded from
Z o'clock till one and still there were
many who had not been waited on as
yet,
One feature of the entertainment
was an elegant cake, which, was to bt
given to the young lady that received
the most votes at 10 cents a vote,
Although Mexico's chivalry was not
very well represented. when oul
crowd left at II o'clock, Miss SalliC
Wade, Of Mexico, was Is votes q head
of any one and Miss Clark, Of Mexi.
! co, came next. We learn since tha'
Miss Wade carried off the cake.
Mexico is not to be out done, even
in gallantry.
