To Farmers /:

Liberty Ridge April End
We present you a short statement
Of the condition of the German Ma
tional Fire Insurance Co. of Liberty,
simply to show the cheapness of such
a company This company has been
doing business tor seven years. 1t
has had 4 losses, for which (and all
other expenses) the assessments were
67cts on 500 90 or 6&7- 10 mills on l
dollar for the whole seven years, be-
ing a yearly percentage of less than
Ito of mill. The whole of prop
erty insured is S250,o0O
Now there are plenty of farmers
who are paying from one to three per
cent. for from three TO five years; the
first being the lowest we have heard
of, which is indeed low but don't
come within 10 to 100 per cent. of
being as low as this. We do our
business in as saving manner as
possible that is we keep no money
in the treasury, pay no salaries. only
days wages for work actually done,
which is the only way to make the
percentage low. This showing is not
given to enlarge our business as it is
large enough, merely for the benefit
of our members, and other towns who
contemplate organizing township
Companies. A MEMBER.

Cassville Notes Doorstep Lodging

Editor Grant County Herald
As very little public notice is taken
Of our beautiful and fourishing little
port, | shall jot down few OF the i'm
portant things that occur here that
the readers of the HERALD may know
that Cassvile still lives and holds her
place among the towns of Grant
Comfy.
Our public school under the super
intendence ID. j. Gardner, of Platte
vile, is making its best efforts IN
tesching the young idea how to shoot.
Our merchants appear to be doing
well The new firm Of Klint, Geiger
Dc Co. are receiving large supply of
goods and we are told that they are
going to deal in hogs and cattle the
coming season. Knapp In the upper
part of town has lost his clerk, John,
who has taken the fever and gone
West. Our tradesmen are doing well,
f. J. Rockefeller has the Champion
shoeing shop. j. Sharfenstein is man
ufacturing lot Of buggies, open and
covered. The brewery is to be sold
but it is supposed that it will be
bought by one of the partners.
Stevens q Bartlett have a large
stock of lumber on nand. of their own
manufacture and are selling at re-
duced prices.
We noticed an article in the Du-
buque Herald, from Volga City, Civ
ing an account of some Dubuque girls
visiting that place and on going home
leaving some fluttering hearts behind
them. This is not to be compared
with the fiuttering hearts that couple
of Beetown girls LETT in Cassvile last
week. Two of our young men Git is
reported) became so infatuated with
the ladies that they took lodging OF
the hotel steps where the girls were
stopping. L.
