CONSOLIDATION EFFECTED.
Perry B. Loves Insurance Agency Now
Represents Maryland Casualty.

Mr.. Perry B. Love, the insurance
agent Of this place, is announcing to
his patrons the merging of the Gen.
tral Accident Insurance Company of
Pittsburg, which has heretofore been
represented in this section by the
Love agency, with the Maryland
Casualty Company, of Baltimore, Nd,
the business to be conducted under the
name Of the latter company. The
change will in no way affect the poll
cies OF the Central Company except
to back them with the increased as
sets of the consolidated companies,
amounting to 100000 as against
the Central's Individual assests of
S773,000. Present policies will remain
as they are at present until due
for renewal, when they will be re-
placed with new policy which will
be an exact duplicate Of the old one,
excepting that the name Of the COM
pany will be changed to the Mary
land Casualty. The consolidated COM
pany will retain both the Pittsburg
and Baltimore offices and the business
will be handled and the claims looked
after in the same prompt and equitable
manner which has made the Central
so strong with its policyholders. The
consolidation of these two companies
makes the Maryland Casualty Company
the strongest accident insurance COM
pany in the country, and puts the
Love agency in control of headliner
in the matter of accident insurance.

Standard Commissioners Kelley and

not appear to him fair deal for home

quests OF the Reynoldsville Business
Mems Association that the commits

the exclusion OF Reynoldsville brick as

way Department to have the name of
Reynoldsville brick inserted on an
equality with the one named. Many OF
the local citizens did not have much
hope of favorable action on this ard

drastic measures. 1t did so. The meet :

Of very lively session. But the real
point at issue, fair consideration for
home brick, had virtually been settled
by the Hattens during the afternoon,
and under the circumstances it seemed
unwise to attempt the original pro-
gram. Under the skilful handling Of
Chairman d. Fl. Breakey much good
was evolved however in the way Of
drawing out explanations from all par
ties concerned and the establishing Of a
better understanding After long de-
bate it was finally resolved:
"That the commissioners OF Jefferson
county and supervisors OF Winslow

the paving contract as soon as they
have heard from the State Commission

made in regard to insertion of Reynolds

ing he might lose his wife, and his
health began to fail. The first OF this
year he came into Reynoldsville to
visit his son, John, hoping that few
days away from the cares and worry
of home would benefit his health.
That was his last trip to this town.
He was confined to bed about three
weeks before he died. He was con-
scious until the last moments, but was
unable to talk some hours before death.
Friday he asked Tor his son, John, and
son-in-law, D. w. Dinger, but when

before death, he could not talk plainly.
He tried to tell them something that
he seemed anxious for them to know,
but he could not make them under

Peter Baum will be missed In the
the neighborhood where he resided
three score years. He was good
