ÆTNA
LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY,

OF HARTFORD, CONN.

Raleigh, N. C., November 1st, 1888.

**THE ÆTNA LIFE** needs no introduction anew to the people of North Carolina. Its past record is a noble one; and hundreds who have been Beneficiaries under its Policies are its fast friends. The North Carolina Branch has paid to widows and orphans since January 1st, 1888, ($118,975.00), ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTEEN THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED AND SEYENTY-FIVE DOLLARS, and this has been distributed among all classes in twenty-one counties.

**MINISTERS:** Many among the ablest in your calling are insured with us. *Are you? If not do not delay.*

**LAWYERS:** The Bench and Bar are largely insured with us—University men and Professors of Law. *Are you? If not, we shall expect your application very soon.*

**DOCTORS:** You know the value of a human life, and among our insured are many who rank high in your profession. Aid us by a word to those who are careless about insurance, and send in your own application.

**MERCHANTS:** The largest Merchant in the world is insured with us *for all we will take*. You insure your Goods, be as liberal with your Life.

**FARMERS:** Men who toil hard for little money, your safest investment is a GOOD Life Insurance Policy in the ÆTNA LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY.

**YOUNG MEN:** While insurance is cheap and you can put by something for the future, take an Endowment Policy or Limited payment Life Policy in the Ætna. You will never regret such an investment.

THE WESTERN UNION TELEGRAPH COMPANY.

ALL MESSAGES TAKEN BY THIS COMPANY ARE SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING TERMS:

To guard against mistakes or delays, the sender of a message should order it REPEATED; that is, telegraphed back to the
originating office for comparison. For this, one half the regular rate is charged in addition. It is agreed between the sender
of the following message and this Company, that said Company shall not be liable for mistakes or delays in the transmission
or delivery, or for non-delivery, of any UNREPEATED message, whether happening by negligence of its servants or otherwise,
beyond the amount received for sending the same; nor for mistakes, or delays in the transmission or delivery, or for non-del-
ivery, of any REPEATED message beyond fifty times the sum received for sending the same, unless specially insured, nor in
any case for delays arising from unavoidable interruption in the working of its lines, or for errors in cipher or obscure messages.
And this Company, is hereby made the agent of the sender, without liability, to forward any message over the lines of any
other Company when necessary to reach its destination.

Correctness in the transmission of message to any point on the lines of this Company can be INSURED by contract in writing,
stating agreed amount of risk, and payment of premium thereon at the following rates, in addition to the usual charge for
repeated messages, viz: one per cent. for any distance not exceeding 1,000 miles, and two per cent. for any greater distance.
No employee of the Company, is authorized to vary the foregoing.

No responsibility regarding messages attaches to this Company until the same are presented and accepted at one of its
transmitting offices; and if a message is sent to such office by one of the Company's messengers, he acts for that purpose as
the agent of the sender.

Messages will be delivered free within the established free delivery limits of the terminal office. For delivery at a
greater distance, a special charge will be made to cover the cost of such delivery.

The company will not be liable for damages in any case where the claim is not presented in writing, within sixty days after
sending the message.
