In an other place will be found the address
OF the Directors Of the Farmers Mutual Fire
Insurance Co., in answer to most unjust
charge brought against the company by an
anonymous writer, who procured his advsrtis-
ing dodge to be published in several of the
newspapers Of the county. The Farmers
Mutual is safe, and at this time, as well
managed IS any insurance company. Insur
ance is just as cheap, yes, cheaper than in the
foreign stock companies who engage in insur-
ance for the great profits there is in the bust
ness to them, while in your home company
you pay Just what is required to pay home
losses, and meet very economical running ex-
penses. We warn the people not to be de-
ceived by any hue and cry raised by the agents
OF foreign companies, who come to you with
smoothe exterior and oily tongues, but stick to
your home Institutions, as it is for your inter-
est to do. The money you pay Is all expended
in your midst, and must flow back to you. Not
80 with foreign companies. The great bulk OF
your payments go out to enrich people Of other
States. It is the duty OF all good citizens 10
encourage and foster legitimate enterprises in
their midst. Insurance is one worthy of the
care Of the people; and the Farmers Mutual
should not be suffered to be stamped out OF
existence by foreign intrigue.

of opiates or narcotics will produce sleep in
nervous persons. This is mistake, II is a
matter OF much consequence to heads of fami-
