F. S. .Blair, Local Agt.
We, the undersigned, have
examined the charter, plans
and workings of the Farmers
Mutual Fire Association , of
North Carolina, and find it
to be in every wiy a U gal or
ganization. It was charter
ed by the Legislature of N. C.
H1892-8 and amended in
1 895, and it is useless to say
that any registration is need
ed in any county in the state
It was organized with mark
ed success by -Mr. Howfcins in
the most wealthy counties in
the State, such as Guilford,
Forsyth, Stokes, Wilkes, Alle
ghany an1 Ashe, lad by the
beet citizens of each county
who control the greater a
mount of property. Oneofus
has a policy in said Associa
tion, and the other would
have were his property so sit
uated as to be admitted.
Spencer Blackburn,
"L. D. Lowe. '
After siguing; the above. J
. , have more carefully examin
ed the law touching this mat
ter, and I am of the opinion
that the plan of insurance'fs
both safe and cheap, and all
v that is jiecesnary to make it
; a success in Watauga county
