A CORRECTION.

To THE EDITOR: I beg leave to
correct one item of your Seaforth
correspondence in your paper dated
Dec. 25th.
Your correspondent varied alittle
from having correct statement
about the D. of II. Christmas tree,
probably on account of having sent
in the item two or three days before
the event happened.
The entertainment aud tree was
on Christmas eve, not Christmas
evening as stated.
Thanks are not entirely due to the
outsiders for furnishing the music,
for it was the work of a. few of the
members OF the D. of II. Lodge that
prepared the programme.
OF course, we are grateful to the
outsiders who assisted us in the
programe, but the greater part ol
the music was given by members OF
the Order.
The girls and boys did receive
many gifts and candies and nuts,
and all report the entertainment q
grand success, thanks to the D. d
H. a MEMBER.

MUTUAL FIRE INSURANCE.
The Annual Meeting Of the Farmers In
surance Co. a Success.

The annual meeting of the Farm
ers Mutual Fire Insurance COM
pany convened at the grand jury
room of the court house last Satur-
day, about 80 stockholders being
present, although only 26 remained
to- vote Secretary Stewards an
nual report showed very satis-.
factory condition of affairs. AS it
was subsequently voted to mail a
copy of this report to each of the,
stock holders, we copy only few
Of the more important items:
A member OF the association called
attention to clause in the policies
issued by the company. which can
celed insurance on all dwellings
left unoccupied for more than 20
days. After quite an extended dis
cussion, the secretary was author
lied to grant extensions on such
hazards for ninety days, upon for
NAL application and the payment of
a fee of one fifth Of one per cent. of
the amount of such insurance.
The ballot for seven directors re
suited in the reelection of all of the
old board. out of list of IA nomina-
tions. The directors are: NJ Bred
void, A. D. Stewart, Leo Aftermath,
T, L. Gilbert, VIM. Steele, John
ongbotto1n, Thos. March. Subse-
quently the board reelected M.
Bredvold president, Leo. Alter
matt vice-president and A. D. Stew
art secretary and treasurer.7
Following the election Of directors,
the stockholders had an interesting
discussion over-a clause in the reg
ular policy which provides that no
additional encumbrance shall be
placed on insured property without
notice to the company. 1t was
finally voted to strike out the clause
in future policies; as the bylaws,
which are made part OF the com
pany s contracts, stipulate that no
property shall be insured that is
mortgaged for more than two-thirds
of it's true value.
The number of policies in force on
Oct. 9th, 1900, was 1878, aggregating
S1,S77, 1873 on farm property of insur-
ance value. During the year $50 poll
|cies, amounting to S799, ,554 were added,
while there were S93, ,625 added to the
policies previously existing, making a
total number of policies in force dur
ing the year 2,358, and total value of
50, 78O,352. During the year 259 poll
cies expired, the face value of which
was S2S7,31O. During the year 223 pol
icies havinga a face value of 2S4, ,O98,
were cancelled, leaving the number of
policies in force at the date of the an
nual meeting, 1876, having face value
of S2,25S, ,944.
The cash on hand at the beginning
of the year was S244.S3 There was re-
ceived from cash premiums SS27.O9,
and from additions to premiums $97.51.
The amount received from 1900 assess
ments was 81, ,699. 80, and from 1901 as
sessments 81 1924, making the total
receipts S7,O50.57. The total losses paid
amounted to S4 ,572.15. The total dis
bursements for all purposes was S., $780,
