Mr.. Il. Ed Gordon and o. p.
Rutledge have secured the agency
for the farm department of the Com
tinental Fire Insurance Company.
This old and reliable company have
large number of policies in force
in this and adjoining counties, and it
has become necessary for the com
pany to have agents in this county
that will give their business careful
attention. 1t is well known that the
Continental will insure farm, viii
lage, church and school property on
the installment plan; this is, the
party who insures takes policy for
a term of five years, and pays his
premium in five installments in
stead of all at once. This firm will
have the counties of Maury and
Lawrence to look after, and it is
needless to say that it will be
well attended to, and the interest
of their patrons carefully studied.
Mr.. Gordon will be actively en-
gagged in canvassing the field and
offering the people of this and Law
renee county the advantages of sound
insurace indemnity. The company's
assets are about eight million dol
lars, and all of their policy holders
are protected by the safety fund law
of n. Y, whereby fund is set aside
for this purpose as required by law,
and can be used for no purpose eX-
cept to satisfy the claims of all
policy holders. We bespeak for the
new firm the success which they
deserve.

Card to the Farmers of Maury
County.

The Columbia Creamery Co. has
secured a lot and has begun the
erection of the building, and the
expectations are that it will be in
running order by the middle Of
February. This is to call the at
tention of the farmers of the county
who live within a radius of ten or
twelve miles of Columbia, to get
their cows ready so as to furnish
milk. l have made enquiry and
find that the farmers of Giles and
Marshall counties find it profita-
BILE and satisfactory business to
| furnish milk to the creamery. For
example, you feed a steer and make
one pound of fat per day, for which
you get, say 1 cents. The same food
| to a COW makes two or three gallons
of milk, for which you get from 10 to
I 20 cents-see the difference?
will be glad to confer with the
/ farmers and explain our methods to
them, and how arrangements can be
made to get milk to creamery cheap
! ly, etc.
Get ready to send in your milk
money twelve times per year is
better than twice a year.

The earliest authentic mention or

who refers to Jewel valued at one

diamond glitter in the turban Of the un-

Half-unconsciously, Sir John thrust
It, wrapped up in numerous folds Of
cloth, into his waistcoat pocket, the
whole being contained in an insignifi-
cant little box. He went on working
hard, as usual, and thought no more Of
his precious treasure. He changed his
clothes for dinner, and threw his waist
coat aside, still forgetting all about the
box contained in it.

horror-stricken, but with no external
