In 1873, Thomafc B. Redmond ce-sed
acting as agent for the Masonic Mutual
Benefit Society, and some months later
drifted out into the Cob rado country. He
held a policy for $4500 in the Society,
upon which assessments were paid by a
friend. In September, Co). A/artin was
called upon to pay the benefit in behalf
of M.s, Redmond, who accompanied the
application with a letter from Carson City
Colorado, written hy one Griffin and stal
ing that her hu.sband had died from the
effects of cramp colic, while on a trip in
the mountains. Payment of the policy,
upon such sleu'ler testimony of death,
was declined, notwithstanding Mrs. Red
mond's persistent correspondence, and
now Col. Martin is in receipt of a letter
from Redmond himself stating that the
word of his death was sent to his wife be
cause they had parted, and that he had
no idea she would make application for
payment of the policy upon his life.—In

A RELIGIOUS WEEKLY AND FAMILY
NEWSi'APER,
J. L. MICIIAUX, Editor,
W. R. ODELL, Associate,
The paper is now in its second volume, and
lias a large and growing oirculalio;i. At the
same time tliat it is the Olficial Organ of the N.
C. Couferenee, Methodist Protestant Churoli,
such is its liberality and catholicity of spirit
tliat it is successfully reaciiiiig out in all di
rections and among all denominations of the
State, and wlicrever it lias appeared is received
with unexceptionable heartiness and approval.
One of the features of the Veidral Protestant
and wliich is part and parcel of itself is the
brevity and spiciness of its articles, on wliicli
account the leading newspaper man of the
State pronounces it superior to all others.
Tiiose wlio know hinpreally concede tliat there
is no appeal from his judgement.
A paper so eagerly sought and so tlioroughly
read, must also be an excellent
ADVERTISING MEDIUM,
a fact which the prompt and repeated answers
to its advertisements abundantly proves. If
you want a paper that is readable, lively, enter
taining and profitable subscribe for the Cen
tral Protestant. If ymu have an advertisement
■ndiich you desire should have attentive con
sideration, insert it in the Central Protestant.
