His First Ceremony.

A man never knows what he can do till
he tries. When Mr.. NJ. Gillespie was first
appointed trial justice for Pumpklntewn,
he was unexpectedly cornered by two
love smitten persons under very trying
circumstances, not only to the young
people, but also to the new officer.
Thunder, wind, rain and darkness were
making the night hideous, when there
was sudden alarm at the door. He at.
tended in haste to the cause, opened the
door, and In rushed q young man and
maiden almost out of breath. "What's
the matter" asked the new Aedged jus.
tice, iu great astonishnent. BE quick, !"
said the youth, "We want to be married
and the old man is right after US with q
shot gum" The officer explained that be
had no forms and knew none. "Hang the
forms p' said the young man, mary u.s.
"If I must, must" said the officer and
while the two joined hands he said:
Dark and dismal is the weather
That joins this lad and lass together,
Let none but him who makes this awful
thunder,
Part this man and wife asunder.
I pronounce you man and wife
For the term Of either'5 natural life.
"That's the best I can do for you," said
tbs trial justice. "Thank you, sir" said
the young man, "and that is the best I
can do for you," as be dropped q dollar
on the table, and hand in hand they
quickly disappeared in the outer darkness

Delays are Dangerous.

The benefits accruing to poor men from
carrying life insurance have recently had
at least two striking exemplifcations in
this county in the deaths of Messrs. De-
Witt G, Holcomb and s. B. Brownlee.
Each of these two had only paid an annual
premium and settlements were promptly
made as soon as the necessary papers were
made out. Brownlee and Holcomb were
both insured in the Mutual Benefit, of
Newark, MI, which is represented in the
Fork by G, N. G. Boleman, and in this
city by G. W. Miller. This is one of the
strongest and most reliable companies, be-
ing in its 46th year of existence and hav-
ing so millions of assets. 1t deserves
special mention for its prompt settlements,
having adjusted Mr.. Holcomb's claim
within ten days from the time proof was
made.
''Delays are Dangerous EVERY one
should promptly attend to this important
matter and thereby protect their wives and
children, in case of death, from the dread
full Inconvenience of poverty. Look out
for the Agents of the Mutual Benefit Life
Insurance Company, and take a policy
without delay. G. W. MILLER,
