We are pleased to-hear that Henry
F. Baily, whose death we reported
last week, had a policy of $4,000 on
his life in the Inter-States Life As
ISOLATION, of Staunton, Va. A policy
in that company is as good rs a
Government bond. The reason we
say so is, that we know that every
loss the company had in our and
ajacent counties has always been
promptly paid through their Gen
eral Agent, Gus Jordan, of the
firm of Jordan & Bryan, of this place.

embrace Jackson, yinton, Gallia,
Meigs and Lawrence counties, Ohio,
and Mason, Putnam, Jackson and
Cabell counties, West Virginia. By
the Gallipolis papers of this week,
we see that great preparations are
being made to make this occasion
one of the most pleasant in the his
tory of reunions.
