A Card.

To all whom it mav concern:
Certain misleading reports having
bern .or some days in circr alton,
which are detrimental TO inc. ! take
this OPP ortu ritv to r.fute them.
In the month of July, 1891, four
policies of insurance were procured
by me for certain gentlemen in Po-
comoke City, Md. AT that time l
did not represent a fire insurance
company licensed to do business in
the State of Maryland; and the said
policies were procured from Frank
w. Anthony, Esq, an Insurance
Broker. licensed under the laws of
the State of New York. and doing
business at No. 1Sj Remsen street,
Brooklyn.
1 regarded Mr.. Anthony then. and
still regard him, as an honorable and
straightforward business man; and
when he sent me the four policies in
the Columbia Fire and Marine In.
surance Company OF New Albany,
Miss, I looked upon them as being
good and. responsible in every re-
spect.
Since that time the raid company
has failed, and is now, as / AIN in
formed, unable to meet its obliga-
lions; but at the time of the issuance
of the policies mentioned above its
standing in insurance circles was
good: as will fully appear by the affi-
davits published herewith. And the
knowledge of any financial. troubles
under winch it labored was confined
to it's own officers. Other agents as
leading agentin Norfolk, are placed
in the same situation with exceo-
tions of loss) that I am, to wit: Hav-
ing received few policies through
other a gents who represented it.
Now having made this candid state
ment, [ submit to all fair minded
business men whether / should be
held responsible for thot which no
one could foresae, after l had in the
usual course of business. and with all
the care that could be used, obtained
the policies of insurance from liz
censedGbroker, on property that my
own companies could not insure.
Thanking my patrons for their past
fayors and appealing to them for
their future patronage, promising
them the work OF a dutiful servant,

Yours very respectfully,

existence was suspected at The time

verified by Tote which he left be-
hind him, showing thlt fears of CON-
ing imbecility brought on by pro-
gressive paralysis had led him 10
commit the deed.
Judge Parr: more was in the 61st
year CT his age, had been prominent
as a lawyer and no one could be
brought in contact with him without
being impressed with the brightness
and vigor of his intellect. He repre-
scented Accomac in the Legislature
during and after the war and was
ju6ge of Acconac county court from
1870 to 1884, and in the latter position
his name will long be remcmb 'red
and cherished by the people of the
co, nty. His reputation is that of a
pure and incc rruptible judge and h; S
decisions were always respected, be-
cause every one believed in the hon
est convictions and good judgment
Which led him to his conclusions.
The fear or favor of no man influ-
enced him in his decisions.
His death was a great shock to this
community and was received with
sincere regret by his friends through
out the county.
