Paid the Policy Promptly.

Warren w. Ingram, late manager
of the Western Union Telegraph Of
flee at GAINESVILLE, Tenn, was a mem
Der of the Photographers Mutual Ben
eft Association and carried policy
on his life for 81 GOO, for the benefit
of the family, providing by will fol
its Investment for still larger accum'
mutation, and its due the association
and its excellent agent, Mr.. N. M.
Booth, Evansville, Ind, that suitable
acknowledgment be made for the
prompt payment of the same, as also
for other kindness shown and sym
pathy extended.
1t is strange that every telegraph
operator in the land Is not member
of this association.
1t is the cheapest and most reliable
insurance organization known, kept
up by small monthly payments-sc
small as not to be missed. 1t is 8
fraternal association for the benefit
of telegraph operators alone, and no
high .salaried officers to pay. Any
operator disposed to save anything
at all can easily carry a policy. The
family desires to return its sincere
thanks to Mr.. Booth and the associ.

forth by the assignment is as follows:
Total liabilities. ,...........

The schedule does not include
small bills that Mr.. Lewis may owe,
in the way of store accounts, but If
such exist they will not increase the
liabilities to any great extent.
The assets consist of real and per-
sonal property worth three times at
least the amount of liabilities. This
property is set out as fellows:
Eight hundred acres of land in the
Sixth civil district of Stewart county;
one house and lot in Cumberland
City; three vacant lots in the same
town; forty five acres of land in
Stewart county; five hundred acres
of land in the Eighth civil district of
Stewart county; four lots Nos. 6, z,
s and in Smith d Lurton's addition
to the city of GAINESVILLE; sixteen
head of good mules on the above
mentioned Stewart county land !;
fifty head of good beef cattle; all of
MS farming implements; small
stock of goods at Cumberland City !;
a barber's outfit at the same place
and a note of T. M Lewis for $1,000
The assignment was caused alone
by the closeness of the money mar
ket. AS will be seen, the assets are
worth many times the liabilities, and
the general impression is that Mr..
Lewis will soon be able, by the aid of
his assignee, to make satisfactory set
Element with his creditors and re-
sumo business. He is clever and
competent business man and has the
confidence of the people who have
known him longest.

SOME CLEVER FrNANoER1Na.
Less Thar 800 Lays the Foundation fol-
$2,42o.

A young man working on a small
salary managed to carry 81 GOO insur-
ance on his life and twenty shares in
the Tennessee Building and Loan
Association, at a cost of $l2 per
month. He calculated that in case
of death he would have 81 900 to
leave his relatives, and should he
live would, in a few years, have
81, 900 laid up for himself. He was,
however, overcome by disease, and
at his death he provided by will that
the proceeds of the insurance policy
be applied to the discharge of the
building and loan stock, paying up
the twenty shares in full. The re-
suit of this at maturity of the stock,
in seven years, will be $1,000, face
value of the stock, and seven years
interest on $1,000, amounting to
1920 ; total s., APO.

cattle. His financial trouble, there
fore will be very much regretted.

Missouri. To aid in the enterprise ST. Clair
and Cass counties each voted about three
quarters of a million Ia bonds. The road was
never built, and the counties attempted 70
repudiate their indebtedness. The bonds,
however, had fallen into the hands of limo
cent Purchasers, who brought suit to collect
them and obtained judgment against the two
counties Up to the present time the coun-
ties have SUCCESSFULLY resisted the collec-
ton of the judgments. Recently, United
States District Judge Phillips, on petition of
the Plaintiffs in the case against the counties,
ordered the county judges OF Cas- and St.
Clair counties to make q special tax levy to
hquidate their railway bonded Indebtedness.
The county judges, well as the people of
the respective counties, were determined not
TO pay for what they had not received, and
declined TO make a special levy. Then Judge
Phillips ordered them to appear before him
for contempt of court. The three Judges
from each county Appealed before Judge
Phillips, pleading eEtenuating circumstances
and asked for time to arrange a compromise
of the Indebtedness The judge gave them
until March "a
So intense Is the popular prejudice against
paying this railroad debt that, rather than IN
cur the odium that would attach 10 the respon-
sibilIty of providing for It's payment, the coun-

Senatorial Sealing Sentiment.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 10.-The senate
in executive session considered the arbltra-
tion treaty of the Behring sea dispute, re-
eeived from the president. The text of the
treaty was read in full. The discussion of it
was animated, but not acrimonious. It be-
came apparent that the treaty was to receive
severe and formidable opposition in its con-
sideration.
One body of senators resented bitterly the
idea OF ratfylng any arbitration trea y.
They hsld that the right of the United States
to the waters acquired from Russia was be
yond question, and that it would be COW
andy surrender on the part of the govern
ment Tor 1t to consent to submit its rights to
the uncertain decision of foreign arbitrator.
considerable number of senators ap-
peared TO believe the approval of the treaty
would be a distinct gain in the diplomatic
battle, inasmuch as it committed Great
Britain to the recognition of the fact that
the United States had claimed jurisdiction
over the waters of the Behring sea under the
Russian title, point which she has hereto
fore steadily refused to allow.
The third party thought the treaty should
not be approved finally without the addition
of a clause renewing the modus Viyendi.
Some of the senators took the ground that
while the treaty may be safely ratified by the
senate, the administration should be in
iusal OF the British government to insure
protection to seal during the course of arbi-
tratiOn, to order the vessels of the United
States to seize every offending vessel, with
out regard to nationality. They announced
that If trouble resulted, from the adoption of
this course, they were prepared to fully sup
port the administration in taking all neces-
sary steps to give effect to the existing laws
of the United States for the protection of
seals

STOCK AND FARM.

From Coronado: Wheat in this coun-
ty is in a fine condition. Better pros
pect for a crop than we had at this time
last year. We have had an immense
amount of moisture this winter, which
has kept the ground in fine condition
for wheat to grow
Oskaloosa Independent: John Nc
Lucas, of Meriden, who has one hun
dred acres of wheat on his farm, says
the growing plant is looking so well in
that part of the county that he believes
there is going to be good crop. The
weather of late has been very favorable
for it.
EIDorado Times: The farmers are
making preparations for putting in the
largest acreage of all kinds of grain this
spring ever sown or planted in the his
tory of the state. Already teams are
busy blowing and three or four plows
running in one field is not an unusual
sight.
Beloit Gazette: The implement deal
ers say that an immense amount of prai-
RE will be broken this year-more than
ever before The farmers are going to
break up their ''mow land" and pastures,
and depend upon alfalfa. This means a
revolution of the farming interests, and
continued prosperity to all.
Hoisington Dispatch: John Arm
strong, living south of town, says he
has discovered innumerable flies in his
straw stack, the result of the worm in
the wheat last year. It would be well
for the farmers to examine their stacks
and if they contain the flies set fire to
them and all other rubbish so as to get
rid of the pests before they can do dam
| age.
