Mr.. EDIToR:-Please permit me trough the
columns of your paper to thank the citizens
of Napoleon, and farmers with their wives,
for the substantial aid they rendered me dur

kindness, thoughtfulness and helpfulness, I
have been able to keep my family together.
I shall never forget them. may never have
the privilege of looking into your kind faces,
but God knows who you are, and what you
have done, and will graciously reward you.

and careful examination of the different Life
Insurance Companies, We find the manage

Our insurance has cost us less in this Com

Life Ins. Co., Cincinnati:
DEAR SIR ii have this day received from
your general agent, @. E. Everett, settlement
in full for policies Nos. 1881 and 49428, is
sued on the life of my late husband, Henry
j. Davis. The first of these policies was
issued Dec. "a, 1887, and was taken in con-
nection with loan. The second was issued
on Jan. 20, 1888. The prompt payment of
these policies amounting to 81, 500, and the
courteous' treatment have received from
your agents fully appreciate. At the time
my husband made application for life in
surance he was in perfect health, and it
seemed at that time as if money paid for life
insurance was thrown away. His sudden
death is another illustration of the uncertain
ty of life. The wise provision made by him
has enabled us to save our home, which we
surely could not have done had he not car
ried life insurance. / earnestly recommend
the Union Central Life Insurance Co., to all
as being worthy of their confidence.
1remain yours respectfully,
(; 2s 4 MARY A. DAVIS.
The above loan was made and the irsur-
ance was written by 7. @. Clewell, who is
representing the Union Central Life Insur-
ance Company at this place, Those wishing to
borrow money on land security or insurance

A week or so ago the postmaster at Holgate
informed us that the NORTHWEST addressed
to II. II. F., prominent citizen of that
place, remained dead in his Office. We were
a little surprised at this, as F. stood indebted
to us since September 18th, 1886, and we were
loath to believe he wished to defraud us of
the amount due. But, we erased his name,
notwithstanding we had right to continue
until he had paid up all arrearages, and sent
him statement of account, and this is the
answer received, in his own words and
chirography:

We don't wish to comment upon the above,
and will leave honest men to draw their own
conclusions. But it took F. a long time to
find out he had not fanny yoase" for the

to consider himself esquire" withu us. he is well
