County Court met in special
session Saturday and granted to
e. M. and w. r. Boggs, the right
to lay a tram road down Bear
fork, along the Chenille, Ripley
and Ohio turnpike. Such men
as the Boggs boys deserve to be
encouraged in every possible
manner, because they have done
as much, IL not more, than any
family Of boys that ever lived in
elmer or Calhoun county. They
came 10 the Steer creek valley
about ten years ago, and their
worldly goods consisted of about
a one horse sled load of house
Z hold goods, one COW and two
horses; they were then tenants
on q farm. Since then they
have furnished employment for
hundreds of men and today own
several farms, all paid for, scores
of horses and hundreds of head
Of cattle. And the best part OF
all is that everyone knows thai
they earned every dollar they
have honestly. Such men as
these are what makes a country
grow.

anty fund of sloo,ooO is raised to $500.

anty fund of s1OOoOO is raised to s5OO- 900.
 CD Some of the securities which might constitute said fund have been changed. Securities by "endorsementp are erased, and in lieu thereof joint and several obligations of two or more parties, all residents of this state" may be received This is taken from the statute concerning the investments of savings banks.
 Co The old amendment simply said Pledge of Stocks. This has been enlarged to pledge of stocks, bonds, or other securities" In 1850 there were probably very few bonds available for use In the guaranty fund
 The substantial change in this sec the guaranty fund to s500,000 It is ex- the guarant yfund to $500,000 It is ex- tremely desirable that the company should have this power, Experience has shown that the company is liable to be visited by confagrations of very serious character, and if we should be so unfortunate as to be involved in them, 1t might become very desirable to strengthen the credit of the com pany by means of this guaranty fund. In order to meet the contingency of the San Francisco fire, we raised a guar anty fund of $100,000, and retired it in December The subscribers to the guaranty fund become liable only when all other assets are inadequate to meet the claims against the company. This fund can be raised quickly to meet an emergency; would he taken probably by the larger stockholders of the com- pany, who would be more acquainted with its affairs; and would be raised only in cases of emergency when other stockholders probably would not be willing to come forward with subscrip- tions to this fund.
 So the compensation of 4 per cent. for the emergency guaranty seems, and is, quite reasonable.
 Section II enlarges the power of the izes the consolidation of the shares of of the stock of the company from the present par of $25 per share into other shares at the par value of $10o per share. The desirability of the power is obvious. But it is not expected to make any immediate change in the par value of the shares of the stock.
 Section IIIenlarges the power of the company with reference to loss or dam age by lightning earthquakes, torna- does, cyclones windstorms, or by ex- plosions. This enlarges the statute on the subject by including earthquakes, ;4 Is, pany to have the authority in the charter than in the statute.
 The adoption of this amendment is recommended to the stockholders.
 By authority of the board of direc- tors,
 JOHN W. ALLING, President.
