THE BEST YET.-Parties contem-
plating life insurance should read
with especial care the advertisement
elsewhere of the Sun Mutual Aid So
ciety Of Baltimore. This company
provides inlmance for all classes,
foor as well as rich, the amounts
ranging from 1925 to $4,000. Risks
are taken with great care, policy
which keeps the asses ments within
easy bounds. The maturity and per.
manent disability commend them.

THERE are some people who i'm
agine they know how to run a news
paper although they cannot tell q
sentence from paragraph, nor a colon
from semi-colon, neither do they un-
derstand the "whys or wherefores" OF

from other papers, and 10 and be-
hold, his paper is finished for that
issue; but where does the other papers
get the news from? All, there's the
rub.
