The Executive Committee of the
Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance Com
pany has directed the Secretary to post
pone for one year the collection of the
5per cent. interest Oh premium obliga
tons, which fell due on the first day
of this month. This action was taken
in consideration of the fact that a year 8
interest has not yet accrued on
any of these obligations, and the
committee thorght it best not to col
lect, ut this time, the pro rata part of
this interest. Persons who have paid
it, however, will, of course, be duly
credited.
