We have a very interesting let
ter from our longtime young
friend, Mr.. E. H. Amelung, super
intendent of the Prudential Insur-
ance Company at New Albany,
Indiana. He is one of the old

well in the business world. We
are glad to hear of his continued
success.

to his room with sickness, but is
slowly improving. Mrs. Cocker is

their share of sickness this winter,
as they have been confined to
the house for at least two months.
