Bank IN LERoY.-We have often
wondered why some enterprising capital
list did not start bank in Leroy. The
town is a good one; is far away from a
town having bank; has number OF
well Ito do live business men; and the
country surrounding is good, and well
settled up. We need wonder no longer:
The vacancy has been filled-and well
flled-by Messrs. Strong & Farmer of
Spring Valley, who have recently pur-
chased the old bank building and lot
formerly occupied by G. L. Henderson &
Co., and Tuesday of this week opened a
branch at the old quarters, to be
known as the Bank of Lekoy, with MIR.
NJ. w. Williams in charge. A complete
record of the textbooks for Leroy and
adjacent towns will be found at the bank.
where taxes for 1884 can be paid. Our
word for it. this bank will be a popular
undoubtedly as sound and substantial as
the everlasting rocks. If the TRAN
SCRIPTS endorsement is worth anything
we chcerfully give it.

The Kaw Life Insurance Association,
ZumbrOta, Minnesota. since their re-
organization under the law of Minnesota
recently enacted covering co operative or
Assessment Life Insurance Associations,
the officers have been taxed to their ut
most to take care of the applications and
letters of inquiry in relation to the new
plan. The basis of the KaW, or in fact
any Life Insurance Association permitted
to do business in this state since the new
law came in force. cannot be questioned by
any person of ordinary intelligence. The
Kaw had to submit their plan, securities,
&C., to the Attorney General and Com
missioner of Insurance of Minnesota for
their approval and certificate of authority
to do business, and are under their super
vision, subject to their investigation at
any time they see fit or deem it necessary.
That section of the law of Kansas requir.
ing policy holders to make deposit of
any amount equal to one per cent. of the
face of their policy, to be paid in semi
annual or half-yearly payments in two
years, to he known as the reserve OF
guarantee fund, is a grand feature for
those who are faithful and hold fast, but
of no benefit to those who fail to pay
their assessments according to contract
The beneficiary will receive, in addition
to the amount named in policy, the
amount of their reserye-deposit,a also their
pro rata or portion of the lapsed reserve
fund, which will amount to Il large in
terest on said deposit. Adding to the
above features, their grip-cable, the joint
feature, taking man and wife, or any two
relatives, under the same policy, the sur
vivor receiving full amount OF policy, has
given the Kaw prestige and business un.
preccdentcd in the history of Insurance,
and with an outlook for a marked in
crease over the past, especially in this
state. The officers and board of directors
are men of integrity and energy, most OF
them men OF means: The fact that tho
name of Rev. w. G. Rice, State Dairy
the Kaw Life Association, is sufficient
honorable, energetic, and to the satisfac
ton of the Insurance public.
