The Relative Financial Strength,

OF the great mutual life assurance
companies, from official sources, 10
compared in the advertisement Of the
Equitable on our Sd page. The grav-
est objection ever urged against life
assurance as usually conducted, was,
in popular parlance, thai" man must
pay till he dies, and must die to win"
This objection ia obviated by Tontine
life assurance, without any increase
in the rates Of premium, by the aecu-
mutation Of all surplus or profits dur
ing periods of 10, Is or 20 years, for
division among those who then sur
vive their periods Of Tontine accum-
ulation, are secured the right at their
option to either continue the assur-
ance without further payment Of
premium, or to surrender the policy
for the largest possible surrender val
ne in cash, as 4 provision for old age.
Some die early, some live out their
Expectation, others survive to eX-
extreme old age.
The Equitable devised Tontine life
assurance in 1868. The record reads
thus: When these policies began to
mature in 1878, New Business $50, ,00O,-
600; Total Assurance sl6OOOO,0OO; In
1887 New Business 100000; To-
tai Assurance $4S3, 100000. The
Equitable secured last year nearly
one-third Of the entire rew business,
and had upon Its books at the close
of 1887, one-fifth Of the total assur-
ance in force in the 20 American COM
panies. Tontine life assurance has
thus been demonstrated to be the
grandest success of the age.

TOBACCO NEWS.

The local tobacco market this weel
is unchanged.
About one-tenth of the present to-
bacco crop in this county has beer
housed.
Capt. NJ II. Clark, of Clarksville
says that in twelve months the visi-
BILE world supply of tobacco will be
the largest ever known. DR.. Wheel
er thinks that every farmer ought to
put in large crop next year.
The spell of dry weather we are
now enjoying makes glad the heart
of the farmer especially. While a
great deal of tobacco was completely
ruined by the recent drouth, yet
there is enough still on hand to make
fair crop if Jack Frost will only
defer his vi sit for few weeks.
OUTLOOK FOR THIS YEAR.
Western Tobacco Journal, Sept. lOth.l
From all sections of the Leaf Tobac-
co belt we hear of rain, rain, rain,
and too much rain to insure the
barning of the whole crop before
frost is likely TO occur, and too much
rain for a fine quality crop, especially
of Brights. That there will be a
great quantity crop in the West, II
we pass September without frost,
there can be no doubt, especially in
the Dark producing sections where,
by the way, such crop is at least
desirable. To judge of the weight of
the crop in some of the notable dark
producing sections of the West, 1t is
estimated by one who seems to have
some knowledge OF the matter that
the Christian county crop will be
100000 pounds, more than double
what it has been heretofore, even
when it was tho "banner county" of
Kentucky, and three times the yield
of Graves county, the banner county
last year. While this may be a full
some estimate, yet it indicates the
crop will be an exceptionally good
one, and we hear the same from
Clarksvills and Nashville, (Tenn. y
Paducah and other Kentucky points.
OF course If an early frost should
come it would materially reduce
these expectations, yet with a great
deal already cut, and more to follow
this week, it is likely that goodly
amount will assuredly escape the
frost, although it may be damaged
in the barn.
GAINESVILLE TOBACCO MARKET.
Tobacco Leaf.l
Receipts are small, but still some
tobacco comes drifting in every week.
The brakes, however, are more than
half filed every week from the re-
served stocks. The sales for the week
will probably foot up $50 hogsheads.
The market moves on without mate
rial change since the late decline In
values. Holders continue their ef-
forts to close out the remnant of their
lots or crops and accept the situation,
seeing no prospect of an advance in
the near future. The cropin the field
is ripening and the early planting ia
being cut. Our planters should not
mistake sap for substance, and cut
their tobacco when half ripe only.
The plant needs time to digest the
sap the recent wet spell has filled il
with. The world needs a ripe crop
of leafy tobacco, and not half ripe
nondescript.
