MUTUAL LIFE INSURr ANCE C<L BUYS AFRO AMERICAN MUTUAL. Announcement is made that; the N. C. Mutual Life Insurance Co., of Durham* has bought the business of the Afro-American Mutual Insurance: Go.*, of this city. The purchase includes all business in fordsthroughout the State, as well|g|f the splendid three-story office building and furniture; located ' on Second street. Messrs Thed L. Tate and .; J.‘ W. Crockett, who has charge of the Afro-American since its organization, about fifteen years i ago, have become so busy with other lines that they have found it necessary to take this ; step. While we regret to learn that our local friends are selling their business, we rejoice to know that it is being kept with in the race. The last public ut terance ef John Merrick, the founder of the Mutual* was : “I want this company (N. C. Mutual) to; live to serve the race and its institutions, and it will.” When we think of the hundreds of our people being employed by this company and; realize that ft has bought every other race company in its terri tory that was failing and saved the business for the race, we see his wishes coming true. Messrs. Moore, Spaulding, Avery, and young Merrick have kept the ideal of the company pure and we find it the greatest race in stitution of its kind in the world. Mr. A. E. Spears, who had a large part in negotiating this purchase, has been placed in charge of all the company’s bus iness in the western- half of North Carolina. His offices will be continued in the new Meck lenburg Investment Building, while the other offices will be rented. TRIBUTE TO MRS. LOTTIE mcdowell.

Next morn ing at 5 o’clock she whs stricken with apoplexy and succumbed 14 hours later. Afflicted With indigestion and heart trouble,, Mrs. McDowell realized her condition and fre quently predicted that her end would come quickly. For the last year her life has been one, physically, of constant strain and pressure. , The burden was heavy, but she carried ft evenly and steadily and without a mur mur. She was a true companion, qt sweet and .lovqble disposition, and' the Christian influence shje exerted ’over all who knew her will ever be rempmjbered.

He seemed to possess a double por tion of the Holy SJjjirit which seemed to bum as fire in dry stubble. His text was found in Acts 20:18, “And when they Acts 20:18, “And when they $jere comedo him, hfxsaid unto? them; ye know, from the first day that I come into Asia after what manner I have been with yon at all seasons/’ After listening to such an in spiring sermon our deacon, Mr. A.
