BETTER to have it and NOT NEED
1T, than to NEED 1T AND NOT
HAVE IT.---A Fire Insurance Poll
cy in a Reliable Company.
THE ETNA INSURANCE %aRn Co.

rs the strongest exclusively fire insur-
l. ance company in the world, and with
all it's financial strength, it is neither over
bearing or contentious; but to the con-
trary its liberality is proven bal among its
patrons and insurance people, and its adj
justment of losses are always satisfactory.
The IEtna has been before the insuring
public for SIS years and in that time has
paid out over EIGHTY-FOUR MIL
LION DOLLARS in fire losses and now
has cash assets to the amount Of over
$50, S0,OOS.OO / have six companies
in my agency. all of whom are old, strong
and fire-tested and no one can give you
better protection, or lower prices than /.
In the Rock Hill fire recently, only four
companies in my agency were interested
but these losses have long since been
paid and the money is now figuring in
the rebuilding Of the burned district:
The IEtna's loss, Ss,-................S6,SN SN 90
The Continental's loss.......... 100 90
The Delaware's loss, ,.............. $500 90
Norwich Union, $500 60
Total, ,.."..... ........Sl, ,f3I w
Now the thing to do, if you have not
already done it, is to insure your proper
ty against loss by fire. A small policy for
a fourth of its value is better than no in
matter over, will appreciate your busi
ness and give it my best attention.
There is one thing, however, that the
public should be cautious of, and that is
the many wildcat companies that are
doing business in this territory, whose
indemnity contracts are not worth the
paper they are written on, and which will
require only one fire loss to demonstrate
the fact. My companies are business en-
terprises of the highest class and standing
and since the indemnity they offer is the
very best, they do not seek to impress you
with the idea that they are SO philan-
thropic that they will indemnify you
against loss at less cost than experience
dearly bought has taught them that it is
worth. My companies are now carrying
polices on much of the most valuable
property in the county and as agent, l
would be glad to issue you a policy.

rRIAvEL NOT so HEAVY.

The travel from the lower part Of
the state and this city to the Peace
Jubilee is not so heavy to-day as for
merly. From O'Clock Wednesday
night to 1890 O'Clock yesterday over
5000 special excursion tickets were
sold on the p, w. & B. railroad alone,
but to-day in the same space Of time
not one-third that many have been
sold. The reason assigned for this is
that a great many remained in Phila-
delphia over night. The travel on the
Baltimore and Ohio and by steamboats,
is also much decreased to-day.
