Edgar w. Nye.

TNAMILIARLY known as BILL Nye,"
IL was perhaps, the most popular hui
morist of the Nineteenth century, and mil
lions Of people read his productions each
week, and were panied to hear of his
death short time ago. Mr.. Nye's home
was Buck Shoals, near Arden, Bun
combe county, n. G. He had a very in
teresting family and was devoted to it and
it to him. He realized large income
from the products of his pen and accumu-
lated considerable fortune. He was a
business man and realized the value of
life insurance as means of protecting the
widows and orphans, and carried large
sum on his life, $1,000 of which was in the
Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association:
His policy was No. $3.50. We delivered
No. 3O3, GA on last Thursday to gentle
man in Chester. We only make this
statement to show the reader how rapidly
the Association has grown since Mr.. Nye's
policy was written IA years ago, the COM
pany is little more than Is years old) and
that be was shrewd enough to see that it
was safe and sound even in its infancy.
During the IA years that the policy was
carried $S3l.S9 was paid in premiums, on
an average cost of S59.42 year or, Sll.SS
per 81, 900 each year. If Mr.. Nye had had
an ordinary life policy in an old line COM
pany and paid it the same amount in pre-
miums that he paid the Mutual Reserve
his wife, who was the beneficiary, would
have received S2,526 instead of S5,000
