THE PENN MUTUAL'S RECORD.
This Staunch Old Company Celebrates
Its Fiftieth Anniversary.

Mr. II. B. Raney, General Agent of the
Penn Mutual Life for the State of North
Carolina, has just returned from Phila-
deIphia, where he has been the delighted
guest Of the company for several days on
the occasion Of the fftieth anniversary of
its commencement of business, May 25th,
1S47. All of the most prominent and sue
cessful general agents of the company
had also been invited and with few eX-
ceptions they were all in attendance.
They had come from the Pacific, the Gulf
States and the far Northwest, inclusive
of thirty-nine States in which the Penn
Mutual Life Insurance Company trans
acts business, and with the officers it was
a gOodly company that gathered in the
Medcantile Library Hall ON the morning
of May 25th The trustees, who were also
out in large numbers, WED with the Of
ficers and local force in making each WISH
tor feel in point of fact that he was at
home SO pleasant and intimate were the
relations that men meeting each other
for the first time, though having enjoyed
business relations for many years. felt al
most the tie of kinship. The proverb
seemed to be reversed, and speech was
golden and silence was clay. A number
of learned and interesting papers were
read at the morning and afternoon SEES
sions, and the jubilee ended on Thursday
with a shad dinner at Washington Park
III the afternoon, followed by an elegant
banquet at the Union League Club in the
evening.
At the banquet a number of post
prandials were delivered by promin-
ent insurance journalists and officials of
the company. Accompanied by words of
the highest commentator, a complete re-
cord of the company for fifty years was
presented, and every one who was in any
way connected with this noble institu-
ton felt prouder than ever of his share
in the good which it has accomplished and
the enviable position which the company
has obtained in "Old Line" life insur-
ance In commemOratiOn of it's jubilee
year, the company has concluded to issue
two or three new forms of contracts, en-
bodying all that is best in similar con-
tracts of other companies, and eliminating
their Objectionable features.
The members of the Penn Mutual
Agency Association held their annual
meeting on Friday, the 2Sth of May, and
returned the hospitality of the company
by giving a ma gnifcent banquet in honor
of the company's officers at the new and
elegant Hotel Walton on Friday evening.
1t was stated by many present that
handsomer entertainment had never been
given in the Quaker city.
At the earnest request of Mr.. Raney
and several of the other prominent Cen
eral Agents in the South, the next an
nual meeting of the Penn Mutual Agency
Association, COMPOSED of all of the Cen
eral Agents of the Penn Mutual Life In
surance Company, will hold their next
annual meeting at the Hotel Jefferson,
Richmond, Va, and it is probable that
attendance will be larger then ever
before, owing to the historic interest Of
the Capital of the Confederacy.

A New Discovery by the
Shakers

FOR more than hundred years the
Mount Lebanon Shakers have studied the
cultivation of medicinal plants and sought
to extract from them their healing es-
senCes. Their labor has not been spent in
vain. They have made a discovery that
will prove a blessing TO mankind 1t con-
sists of cordial that causes immediate
relief in cases Of Indigestion. The impor-
lance Of this discovery will be apparent
when we realize that nearly nine enths
of our suffering are caused by dyspepsia
or Indigestion. Nearly every person you
meet has this digestive trouble in some of
its varied fOrms-sick headache, distress
after eating, pain and fullness in the
chest after eating, paIpitation Of the
heart, etc, are but symptoms of indiges-
ton. To relieve these sulferings has been
the study of the Shakers, and they have
ucceeded. The reason the Shaker Digest
i've Cordial has such an immediate and
SalutaTy effect is that it causes the food
eaten to be digested, for it is undigested
food that causes the distress. The Cordial
auses the fool to be digested before there
Is time for it to ferment and sour on the
stomach. When the food is so digested it
gives strength and vigor to the feeble
body, makes one feel bright and cheerful,
and makes one gain in flesh.
The Digestive Cordial is so prompt in
it's action that the very first dose will
have Il perceptibly favorable result 1t
gives immediate relief
Every druggist has been sent a supply
of our handsome Donkey Puzzle Books,
and a copy may be had for the asking. 1t
ellis all about the Cordial as well as Lax
oil, the new ceStor OIL.
Try a twenty-five cent bottle of Diges-
tive Cordial ana see what it will do for
you.

THE NEW STREET CARS.
\ Tracer was Sent out Yesterday for the

The new street cars are beauties. The
only objection to them is that there are
not enough of them, and therefore as yet
the old Commute schedule maintains
But the three other new cars are expect
ed every day-they have been shipped
and should have been here Saturday. AS
soon as they arrive they will be put on and
run ON a 15-minute schedule.
Some much needed repairs are being
made in the track, the men have been
newly uniformed and the dynamos are all
new and of the best patterns made-with
this outfit Raleigh will soon have the
best street car system in the State.
The new cars were put on for the first
time Sunday. They are not only pretty
to look at but pleasant to ride on. They
glide along as smoothly as a boat and are
commodious and elegantly appointed in
every particular. A tracer was yesterday
sent out for the others, which are delay
ed some where on the road, and they are
expected at any time

 Some time ago this journal urged the need of a territorial brand book. There is general belief that some system should be devised whereby the duplica- ton of brands in different counties of the territory could be prevented. A ter ritorial brand record, in charge of the secretary of the territory, or the Live Stock Sanitary Commission, with suit able provisions governing the admis- sion of new brands should be the ratio nal solution of the problem. A copy of the brand book should be furnished to the recorder of each county and to all cattle inspectors.

Brockmeyer, who, as Lieutenant-Gov- ernor, was presiding over the Senate. was lolling back in his chair on the Presidents stand, smoking cob pipe and awaiting notice of the time for the Senate to proceed to the hall of the House of Representatives. where the two bodies in joint session were to re- ceive the new Governor, and the in auguration would be consummated.
