PATRONIzE HOME INSURANCE.

With the above caption the Poto-
mac Progress, of Hague, recently
gave the following editorial "send-
off, to our booming home insurance
company:
From commercial view point great
piece OF unwisdom on the part of the
people OF Virginia has been their failure
to establish home insurance companies.
both life and fire, and give them liberal
and general support.
The money that has been paid by Vir-
ginians into foreign insurance companies
since 1865, and which has been added to
the wealth of other States, would have
added many millions of dollars to the
wealth and prosperity of her own citi-
zens.
There is no safer or better plan of in
surance than that known as the mutual.
where every patron becomes n stock
holder. This has been attested by the
success of the New York Mutual Life.
which is as strong and stands as high
financially as any of the oldrline insur-
ance companies of this or foreign ooun-
tries.
We have in the Northern Neck a local
company which is worthy the patronage
OF all our citizens who seek insurance on
the class of property il insures.
The Northern Neck Mutual Fire Asso-
citation, with headquarters at Iryington.
Va, has been in operation for seven
years, and in that time has demonstrated
the wisdom and economy of its estal,-
lishment. This company insures only
dwelling houses, barns, furniture and
similar risks, and only places 81 900 on
any building. Yet this company has to-

books. IL has paid out n large amount
to it's patrons, yet at no time has the
cost been as much as per cent. for five
years to it's policx=holders.
The great advantage in this company
consists in the fact that every new policy
issued strengthens the company and les
sens the chances of any increase in any
future assessments. The more business
done the lower the cost to policy holders.
Some argue that local companies are
safe enough under ordinary conditions.
but In ease OF panics or war they would
be less secure than the large old-line COM
panies. We think this is n mistake. The
securities held by large corporations are
generally the first to weaken and depre-
clate in case OF unsettled conditions of
the markets OF the world, while the sur
plus of the local companies is invested in
solid home property which does not re
spond to the fluctuations of panics.
There is every reason why this home
company should be patronized by our
citizens. Ii is the most economical The
premiums you pay in are returned to
home business. IL is manifestation OF
local patriotism and neighborly pride
that marks you a progressive citizen.
The Progress sought insurance i'm the

but is not in the class of risks that COM
pany accepts.

IT is seldom that vice or british
ness get their just rewards in this
world, but the singular judgment
against a Russian brute is very re-
freshing. In tussling with his wife
in an effort to throw their babe to
the wolves that were pursuing their
sleigh the woman and child fell out
and rolled down bank. The wolves
continued pursuit and captured and
devoured man and horse, while the
mother and babe were rescued.
Human brutes are always towards,
and a companion illustration to the
foregoing is the case of Chapman,
the London poisoner of three women,
who was hanged last week. On the
scaffold he cringed aud collapsed and
had to be supported by wardens.

How few parents and teachers un-
derstand the thoughts and imagina.
tons of little childrenl Often a
child comes to parent or teacher
with question which to their little
minds Is dreadfully important. and
they are answered at random and
sent off with their brains puzzled to
understand what was meant. In
order to come in close contact with
little children it is necessary to see
the world and the child's surround
ings with the child's eyes. A child's
life indeed is not real; it is magma.
ton from morning to night, from
year to year. To rob children of
imagination is to rob them of the
sap of their mental growth-to
dwarf their intellectual faculties.
Books of travel never took child so
far as the all-over-the- intense
Journeys it takes through imagina-
tion. There is no limit to it's boun-
Diary. 1t reaches the farthest wall
OF farthest space and goes right on,
around and around INCREASINGLY.
Therefore every parent and teacher
should always be willing to instruct
little children, and help them to gain
knowledge that is always necessary
IN making the child's after-ife a
success.

Confederate Bazaar to Open April
18th.
All over the South we have placed
monuments to our private soldiers
and sailors and their great COM
manders.
1t now remains for the Capital of
the Confederacy to crown the whole
by raising one to our first, our last,
our only President, the head of our
civil governmental government as
wonderful as it was brief.
We owe this duty to ourselves, and
to our children, that they may real
ize what a sublime record was made
FOR them in history. The whole
South unites in this loving tribute
to the men who died to uphold that
government, and to those who, with
no less devotion, steered the Ship of
State. What have you done to help
us? What will you do to complete
the work? We ask both your infiu-
ence, and your sympathy, that We
may build monument worthy of
our people and their deathless past.
This movement is endorsed by the
United Confederate Veterans and the
Daughters of the Confederacy.

POLITICIANS and some newspaper,

POLITICIANS and some newspapers
have tried their hardest to prove that
the people were not back of the
movement in favor of the Mann anti
liquor bill, and that the many thous-
ands who signed the petitions that
flooded the present Legislature did
not count for much, were fanatics,
or else of that class of nonchalant
and chronic petition signers easily
coaxed. The Legislature. though,
thought to be controlled by the
liquor element, could not see it that
way. And it is we'll it did
not. The abuses in liquor selling
throughout this State have become
exasperating, and the liquor sellers
are in the main responsible for the
overwhelming temperance sentiment
that now prevails throughout Vir-
ginia. These same law violators are 60
ing down with the tide, and more than
one legislator will sink with them.
Many others saw the way the wind
was blowing and have gotten under
shelter. The people are back of
this movement in no uncertain way,
and neither politicians nor press can
discount the earnestness of this up
grsde movement. In the few places
that temperance fights have failed
during the recent past it is safe to
assume that the sentiment was a
little backward in crystalizlug. But
it is growing, and even the by-ways
and hedges of the Old Dominion will
soon be brought under its beneficial
Influence.
