Lost His Quart.

Joel johnson, a former Tick
Ridge tough but now denizen OF
Port, came to the Sun last Satur-
day in company with first class
jag. He wended his zigzag way to
Cummings livery stable for the
purpose of hiring a team but in
stead of getting a team he got a
surprise in the form of warrant for
arrest for abusing a team hired
a few weeks ago. At that time in
addition to his usual load he had
Moore-one Amanda-and aside
from abusing the horse they made
themselves obnoxious to all whom
they passed along the road in the
neighborhood of Harrisville.
johnson was tenderly escorted to
the magistrates Office, but un.
fortunately lost a whole quart of
prime "likker' which fell from his
pocket while enroute. The un.
sympathetic squire added insult to
injury by imposing fine which
deprived Joel of the wherewithal
to replenish his stock of liquid.
However he was promised a free
trip to Jessup's cut as a recon-
pense the next time he gets gay.
The fair Amanda is also promised
a like amount of attention as soon
as the authorities can get her to
grant an audience.

ANNUAL MEETING.
Insurance Company Elects Direc-
tors-In Flourishing Condition.

The 32nd annual meeting of the
Farmers & Mechanics Mutual In.
surance Association of Cecil county,
was held at Zion, July 81.
The election Of officers resulted
in the re election of the old Board
of directors Alfred Kirk, Aaron
J.. Michener, John P. Wilson, VIM.
I. Patten, John T. Dewitt, Charles
w. Shippers and Thomas B. Miller.
E. D. Carhart was re elected Sec-
retary and Treasurer.
The association is in flourish.
ing condition. During the year
there were written two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars of new
risks, having policies in force of
over four million of dollars, the
losses have been comparatively
small, amounting to $3347.77, with
one assessment of one half mill on
the dollar on per cent basis.
The receipts during the year
amounted to $9437 .3S and the ex-
penditures $9196.S7, closing the
fiscal year with a balance in hand
of $3S61.74 and all obligations paid
except two small damages amount
ing to 1890. The expense of
management is very small, there
being paid 1904 to the Board of
managers for per deim adjusting
losses.
The management is conservative,
and the comparatively small mum.
Der of losses is due in no small
manner to the care exercised in the
selection of risks, and seeing that
proper care to avoid fires is taken
by all members.
