TO ESTABLISH NEW DIVISION
Mr.. Gurr Will Give Decatur COunty
Farmers Benefit of Mutual
Fire Insurance.


The News learns that Mr.. w. H.
IGurr proposes to establish a division
Iof The Farmers Mutual Fire Insur-
ance Co. in Decatur county.
We are in position to know some
thing of Mr.. Gurr's success in es-
tablishing and maintaining this or
ganization in other sections. He es-
tablished division of the company
in Houston county, which is the old
home of the editor of The Dawson
News, and we know that the institu-
ton is working satisfactory there.
The editor of The News has also been
member of the Terrell county di-
vision for nine years, and knows the
plan is working admirably here, and
is looked upon as one of our best and
most highly appreciated institutions.
In both of these counties (Terrell
and Houston) unsuccessful efforts
had previously been made to estab-
lish and maintain organizations of
somewhat similar character.
Mr.. Gurr has given much time and
thought to the Farmers Mutual FIRE
Insurance Co., and knows exactly
how to manage every detail of the
business so as to place and keep the
insurance on as safe and sound a
basis as old line companies. Under
this plan of insurance the farmers
are enabled to insure a class of prop
erty which otherwise could not be
insured, and at lower rates than are
enjoyed by property owners in cities
with paid fire departments.
We predict that the farmers Of
decatur county will be pleased with
this institution after it is once estab-
llished among them.

publican editors living west of the

The Tribune said
1.-THE question was asked in this form
IF you would vote for President to-
day, for whom would you cast your
ballot "
No names of candidates were sug-
gested. but the editor was forced to
write the name Of his preference and
also the name of the party with which
he was affiliated.
Only those editors who counted them
selves Republicans we're included in the
count The Tribune declares Roose-
welt has not only a majority of the
votes but his strength runs so uni
formly that he has been endorsed by
the editors Of the States.
"He is strongly in the lead in the
Lake group" says the paper. where
he has 4S6 votes to Taft's 427. He
leads in the prairie States by 617 to

leads. the Presidents margin is nor
row. it being Sc TO Ga in the mountain
States.
The vote in Ohio is of interest There
Taft has 112 votes. which is only Il
more than Roosevelt. OF the Lake
group, Illinois is most strongly foi
Roosevelt, the vote being Roosevelt lot
and Taft 100"
Regarding the ballots cast for Bryan
the Tribune says:
Most Of the forty who voted FOL
