On August 22nd the editor of this
paper paid to Mrs. Fannie Hoffman a
check OF sc. 900 for the Union Central
Life Insurance Company, it being .
full settlement for the insurance car
ried in the company by her late hus-
band, Mr.. Max. Hoffman.
When it is remembered that Mr.
Hoffman died In Norfolk and was bur-
led il Petersburg and that proofs OF
death had to he secured from the ply.
stefan in Norfolk and the same par or
sent to the undertaken in Petersburg
for his Ger .lticate and then returned
b re before being sent TO the hem'
Office in Cincinnati, 1t will DC seen thai
it was quick settlement, it being Of
;ected inst 33 days after Mr.. Hoffman {
death. While living Mr.. Hoffman re-
garded the insurance he carried in the
! Union Central as among the very best
! that he carried, and 1t was.
! Recently we have promptly paid
three claims for the company, and We
make free to say that it is one OF the
best companies in the United States
None surpass 1t and few equal 1t, al
things considered.
Any one wishing Insurance in thi'
excellent company will please apply tt

Meeting in the Baptist Church.

The meeting In the Baptist church
continues through this week. DIR.
Rlackwell's sermons have all been
strong and iorceful. Large congrega-
tions have attended the meetings with
one or two exceptions when 1t rain
cd or was very warm. 1t is the gener-
al remark that DIR. Blackwell Is great
preacher. His eermons are unique,
bristling with strong gospel truth and
sometimes the preacher rises to heights
of eloquence, though he makes no ef-
fort at such. There is a beautiful
gospel story in every sermon which
always lmpresses.
The Sunday afternoon service Tor
men only was deeply impressive. A
large audience of men turned out, not

THE JUDGE's CHARGE.
Judge Hoke ls one of the ablest and

bring to light any and all violations OF
the criminal law and showed that only
through the grand jury can many
cases be brought TO light and justice
which would otherwise go unnoticed.
Judge Hoke took up IN order the capt.
tai offenses and defined them and
showed the grand jury's part and duty
IN fully discharglng their duty in
bringing to justice any and all who
Commit crimes Of any kind.
The whole criminal law was given
the grand jury for their consideration
and they were faithfully and strongly
charged to guard the Interests of the
State in strict discharge Of their duty.
Judge Hoke's charge was listened to
with close attention by the jury and
by the entire audience in the court
room.
Solicitor Daniel was promptly on
hand to guard the interests of the
State in the prosecution of those who
break the law and commit crimes
against the peace OF the State. Mr.. J
w. Hammlll was appointed as Officer
to the grand jury.
There is pretty full docket, there
being SO cases on the criminal docket
| FIR trial or other disposal.
| The term OF court is for two weeks
and perhaps the docket will keep th'
court busy for that time.
