It was in the line of his business that
he visited our section. We repeat
what we have so often said before
that no business man or owner of
property can perform a duty more
important than that of insuring his
property against loss by fire in some
reliable, solvent company. The large
fires, or the smaller accidents of the
same sort that daily occur, warn us
to be ready, for we know not when
such calamity may befall us. 1t
is the part of wisdom, then, to be
we'll insured. In possession of
houses and goods to-day, tomorrow
it may be swept away, Our readers.
can not find a more thoroughly re-
liable and amply able set of COM
panies than those represented by
Mr.. Brooks, and especially none
having stronger claims upon their
patronage and confidence than the
knoxville Fire. Get him to in
sure your property. See advertise
