In six years the insurance In force
has doubled, and the surplus has in
creased tbreefOld.
The Fidelity does not claim to be of
the largest, but does claim pre- eminence
in security and equity to it's policy
holders and agents. Its plan is the
same as that which has been in use in
Great Britain for over one hundred
years, without the record of one single
failure. This system was introduced
into this country by Mr.. L. G. Fouse,
it's President and Actuary, (who ia a
recogniz9 d authority on life ~insurance)
and is now commonly known as the
''Fouse System" of life insurance.

found themselves out ov a job, fer that
year at least. Butler reminds me Ov
Daniel in another respeck. The Bible
says that a certain king wanted Daniel
ter be a very bad man an do Rwl sorts
ov mean things, such az playin' cards,
drinkin', dealin' in futures, an the
like. Daniel knew that il he did he
would go ter hell. So he sed he
wouldn't. Then the king tole hiz men
ter cast Daniel inter the lions den.
They did so, but the lions weren't hun
CRY an didn't eat him. Daniel lay
down an went ter sleep with hiz head
rite on the name Of n of the lions JET
like Butler did when he laid hiz head
on Chairman Jones name in 1896
Daniel slept a long time an when he
woke up he remembered that the king
had tried ter make a bad man out Of
him an had failed. Then he wUz glad
he hadn't obeyed the king, fer if he
had he would hev gone ter the bad
place. So he got up an stretched him
self looked Ground at the lions an sed:
This beats hell" That liz whut But.
Ter sed the mornin' after the dyma-
KRAFT convention in 1896. But he is
goin' ter make the third capture ov the
dymakrat party an I reckon he'll u
coed jist az he did before. He don't
seem ter care whut comes ov hiz own
party il he kin capture the dymskrat
party, an bein' a dymakrat myself, I
can truthfully say that I don't care
whut bekomes ov the Populiat party,
either. Gudebye."

The most remarkable thing about
Mrs. Nellie J Lord, of Sire ford Cor
ner, N. H. is that she is alive to day.
No one, perhaps, is more surprised
at this than Mrs. Lord herself. She
looks back at the day when she STOOD
on the verge Of death and shudders
She looks ahead at a life of happiness
with her children, her husband and
her home with a joy that only q
mother a realize.
Mrs. Lord is the mother of three
children, two Of whfm r twins; III
til the twins came nothing marred the
Joy of her life.
Then she was attacked with heart
failure and for a year was unable to at
tend to the ordinaryrduties Of the home
In describing her own experience Mrs.
Lord says:
Il had heart failure so bad I was
often thought to be dead.
with this I had neuralgia of the
stomach 80 bad it was necessary to
give me morphine to deaden the pain
Sometimes the doctors gave mo
temporary relief, but in the end ii
seemed as if my suffering was multi
piled.
Medicine did me no good and was
but an a~ggravatiOn.
Il was so thin my nearest friends
failed to recognize NE.
mo n thought | would live.
II was IN despair and thought that
my days were numbered. Ny mother
brought me DR.. Williams Pink Pills

for Pale People and the first box made
me feel better. I continued the treat
ment and to day I am we'll.
when I commenced to take the
pills l weighed 100 pounds now I weigh
146 and feel that my recovery Is per
manent.
I owe my happiness and my health
to DR.. WIlisams' Pink Pills My hus
band was benefited by them. / have
recommended them to many of my
friends and will be glad if any word Of
mine will direct others to the road of
good health"
DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People have cured many cases of al
most similar nature.
The vital element in Mrs. Lords
blood were deficient. The Femoglo
bin was exhausted. She was unfit for
the strain she was compelled to under
go. Her nervous system was shat
tered and her vitality dropped below
the danger point.
A collapse was inevitable.
Dr.. Williams Pink Pills cured her
by supplying the lacking constituents
Of health by filling the veins with blood
rich in the requisite element Of life.
The heart resumed it's normal action /;
the nervous system was restored to a
state of harmony, and the neuralgia
ELECTION disappeared.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
druggists every where, who believe
them to be n of the most t6cacious
medicines the century produced.

SWEDISH SYSTEM AND PORTABLE CREAM
ERIES

SWEDISH SYSTEM AND PORTABLE CREAM
ERIES
The introduction in America Of the
Swedish system of cream raising was a
boom to our dairymen and to all farm,
ers who kept COWS and made butter.
After the invention Of the portable
creamery, the Swedish system became
still more valuable, not only to farmers
but also to hotel and restaurant keep
ers. It can be used to good ad vantage
in boarding schools, asy lums, hospitals
and in all public boarding institutions
where milk is used daily. One of the
best portable creameries on the market,
Moseley'e o 3cident Creamery, is adver.

BUSINESS NOTICES FOR FARM
ERS.

An interesting and descriptive book
let, called the A. B. Q. of Fence Max
ing, has been published by Mr.. J. P.
Vissering, Box 1853, Alton, Illinois. The
primary object of it is to describe the
Farmers Fence Tools, which weave
a variety of low cost, yet the best farm
fences on earth, but it also contains a
vast amount of useful fence informa-
ton. It is a very able attempt in this
line and no farmer can fail to derive
profit from its perusal. The paper
may be had free by addressing a postal
card as above. See his advertisement
elsewhere.

We would call the attention of our
readers to the Annual Statement pub
lished in this issue, of the Fidelity Mu
tual Life Association of Philadelphia,
whose advertisement appears in our
columns each week. This company
has been doing business in North Caro-
lima for the past sixteen years, and
during that time has paid it's policy
holders over two hundred thousand
dollars, and has never refused t pay
an honest claim.
When it first began business in this
State it was a very small organization,
having only about four million dollars
insurance in force and about eighteen
thousand dollars in assets. To-day this
progressive company has about seven
ty five million dollars insurance in
force and over two million dollars cash
assets, and has paid out in death losses
about four million, five hundred thou
sand dollars to the families of deceased
members, and has done all this at a
saving of many millions of dollars in
cost to it's policy holders, as it's premium
rates run from 90 per cent. to 40 per
cent less than the rates in the other
level premium companies, on similar
policies.
is business for 1897 was highly salts
factory, the result of which will not be
exceeded by any company in the coun
try, and equC Te by a very few. Tn
insurance in force increased 10 pei
cent, premium income IS per cent
invested assets % per cent, while the
mortality cost vas only 81 per cent O
the expected, showing q surplus saviDl
| of SO per cent. from that source alone
