In commenting upon the annual state
ment of the Aetna Life Insurance Com
pany, of Hartford, Conn, which appears in
another column, it is worthy of note that
while there were such marked gains in all
essential particulars the total business
was conducted at percentage of cost no
greater than in previous years. There
must be cause, good and sufficientrea-
son, for the remarkable fact that the
stormy and warlike year of 1895 was the
most prosperous and successful one in the
history of the Aetna Life. There must be
some logical explanation of the fact that
last year the Aetna comprised results ex-
ceedinG those of any year through which
it has come: Increasing its assets over
So, 642, 900, its surplus over 1885,, 900. and
its total insurance in force over SIS, 1885,
9S4. The total income. of IS, sos, Sos, o.
the largest in its history, and over $500, 343
larger than it was in L o7, makes this great
life and accident insurance company the
largest and strongest corporation of its
kind in the world. We think it must be
'St4 SLll ~ I4lS SiuCSTS ING ulrGr tnat these
Surprising results are due to the strong,
steady, conservative policy of the com
pany' 5 management, to the entire absence
of " boom " or = racing tactics, and the
substitution therefor of steady, progress
sive systematic effort, to wise campaign
ing and cautious fnanciering. To every
gain that this great company has made it
is justly entitled, and truly may it be re-
corded that its position has been honora-
bly, and faithfully won.
This Company is carrying the bulk OF
the life insurance in this section. The
Aetna has been paving steadily increas-
ing dividends for twentY-six years, which
is record unequalled, and many pa.
irons IN this locality have received much
larger dividends each year than was
promised.

EVANSVILLE, IND., April s. 1899.
j. Frank Weller, Charles Town, w. Va:
DEAR SIR.-Our attention has been called
to an advertise ment in the Farmer So dvocate
of March % warning the public that the Vul-
eau Pillow Co is selling plows that are au in
fringemeut of your patent.
We find that the patent you obtained in 1925
claimed the invention of u ribbed mOldooard-
As the Vulcan pillow was placed upon the
market with ribbed moldboard ten years Cl0)
before you received your patent it is clear
that we are not the iufringers. You may not
be aware that the Patent Commissioner is not
expected TO know all the different devices in
existence. His Investigations are confined to
what is on file in the patent office, and the APP
plicant for patent takes the risk of discover
inS, after he has his patenti that the invention
is not new.
Any responsible patent lawyer will inform
you that Your patent is invalid if tue inycn-
ton has been in public use for two years or
more before your patent was issued. As more
than 100000 of the Vulcan Plows, all with
ribbed moldboards, have been sold since they
were intri duced in 1858 the proof of our claim
to precedence is conclusive, and we trust you
VIII at once satisfy yourself of this fact and
If found correct withdraw your unjust
charges of infringement
Respectfully,
THE VULCAN PLOW CO.,
All-4t. BY A. c. Roscucranz. Pres't.

OBITUARY.

Died, at the residence of her son-ir-
law, Mr.. James w. Gore, near Millvi1le,
this county, on March "a, 1899, Mrs.
Sarah E. Wilmington, aged GO years, g
months and days. So sudden and so
unexpected was her death that the mind
can scarcely be brought to realize the sad
truth that she is no more Her death was
caused by heart trouble and bronchitis.
She was kind and affectionate mother
and was devoted to her children She
was member of Oakland NJ. E. Church
South, She leaves five daughters to
mourn her loss-Mrs. James w. Gore,
Mrs. w. H. Griffith and Mrs. Charles A.
Watson, of this county, and Mrs. Charles
Wade and Mrs. Harry Bepler, of Frost
burg. Md.
Our mother now has gone to rest,
Beneath the tree of life;
She leans upon the SaViors breast.
So free from pain and strife.
Our mothers troubles now are past,
Their pain disturbs no more,
But Jesus in his arms at last,
Bore her to the heavenly shore.
Dear mother could you speak to us.
And could you live again,
Our aching hearts would then be healed,
But this We wish in vain.
Our aching hearts are sad and lonely,
Our grief too deep to tell,
But time will come when we will meet,
And all to you will tell.
In love she lived, in peace she died,
Her life was asked, but Christ denied.s

1t might be a good thing to have Gov.
Atkinson notified as soon as a criminal is
convicted of such crime as murder, ar
son, etc., and just let him send the par
don on at once. Such action, at least,
would possess the merit of saving the
trouble and expense of transportation to
Moundsville, and might be utilized to
lesson the cost of running the now farcical
State penal institution on the banks of
the Ohio.
