Insurance Rates.

Last week the town was looked over
by representatives OF the leading in
surance companies doing business
here. A careful survey was made and
the gentlemen decided to raise the rate
very materially after January LIST,
There are several reasons for their
decision. In the first place, the city
has no fire department and will not
have water works for Two or three
months and again, there are two or
three frame buildings in the fire limits
that are considered very hazardous
and for these reasons the town is rated
as 4th class. When these buildings,
viz. Jobe's livery stable, the Crouch
and Hart buildings and the E. T., V,
& G. r. r. freight and passenger de-
pots are removed as they will be in
another year, and the water works are
in operation, the town will be raised
to the I'd class. With the exception o.
the buildings above mentioned the
business portion is practically com
posed of frst.cass risks and it is hard
" fair for O person to have to pay
ligh rate OF insurance on good prop
erty because building is located neal
It that is not insurable at all or marked

1t mas pleased the Great Creator OF the Uni

that death must terminate the earthly existence

| Should We not pause a moment in busy life,
take our reckonings and learn wisdom by
| these solemn occurrences.
| Brethren, let us remember our sacred VOWS,
and let us look well to the widow, the light Of
whose life has been darkened by this sad oc-
currence, and let US seek so far as in us lies, to
assist in binding up the wounds and bringing
consolation to the sorrowing.
Resolved, That we tender our sympathy to
the family and friends of Brother Taylor. and
especially to tbs widow and that we wear the
usual badge of nourning for thirty days.
That these proceedings be spread on record
and that copy be sent to the family of Brother
Taylor. Also that the news papers of Johnson

Philadelphia Record,
The timid capitalists who have been
tying up money, says the Philadelphia
Record, according to the calculation
Of Mr.. Jay Gould, have taken out OF
active use and circulation $100,000,0O0.
But there is no panic in sight, and no
prospect of panic. The stringency,
wholly created by the fear OF stringen-
cy, has brought about heavy importa'
tons OF gold, and, now that money is
becoming easier, the hoarders are be-
ginning to lend again. Money on cal
is not difficult to obtain, and a de
mand is springing up for good com
mercial paper. 1t will not be many
days before the tables will be turned
and instead Of a pressure to borrow
there will be pressure to lend.
