has $4,000 on deposit with the Auditor, as
required by law. This company believes la
the principle of reeiprosity, and of invest
ing at least a portion Of its income in safe
securities at home For instance, it loaned
the Masonic fraternity of Okolona the sum
of ten thousand dollars, taking first mort
gage bond on the new Masonic Temple at
that place, and the fraternity, showed their
appreciation of this timely aid, by giving
the company Insurance business to the
amount of $500. 600. We will add that the
writer of this and several other citizens Of

ferred their policies from the American
