To the members Of the Mutual
Benefit Fire Insurance Association Of
Accomac and Northampton division :
We find that the former agents,
Hussey and Long, in writing up APP
plication for membership, in some
cases placed too high a valuation,
thereby giving policies for the full
value of property, when this Associa
tion only proposes to carry three
fourths of the value in risks. We are
only required by our law to pay, in
case of loss, three fourths of the real
value.
would suggest to all such persons
who are holding policies for as much
or more than their property is worth,
TO notify the undersigned and have
their policies adjusted, thereby saw
ing themselves from paying excessive
assessments on over rates.

The entire vote of Accomac for
Hon. w. A. Jones for Congress was
thrown out by the State Canvassing
Board but may be counted after the
Court of Appeals of Virginia renders
its decision in the Yost case next
Monday The majority for Jones was
1882 and not 1900 as reported through
some of the papers and should not
have been thrown out on mere
technicality. The people voted for
w. A. Jones, showed by the splendid
majority they gave him, that he was
their choice and to have their will
defeated because the return was made
for William A. Jones, causes surprise
and much unfavorable comment in
the county.
