A man up in Illinois has been goot to the penitentiary indefi fiitely just because he had eleven living wives. Old bach elors tavor hanging for such a fellow. The latest is that Grover C. is slated lor a 2Sew Jersey Judg eship with a seat in the United States Senate to follow. In of fice he is more valuable to Wall aireet. Gov.

How will tbe peo- V pld be subject to their way & ? lany of our people cannot understand why other markets sell so much Pitt county tobac co when Greenville prices aver je more than those other mar kets. Several buyers on our market, who have recently vis ited others, expressed the same surprise. If they waat to know why it is, they hae only to ex amine the papers of the differ ent towns, and see how much advertising they do, and how little Greenville does. That's all there is about it. Henry George is a much nom inated candidates tor the May oralty of New York. We be lieve he has accepted four nom inations from as many parties (H tactions, and indications are that he will be very much elect fid and by a great big majority, is election seems certain. And then he will be a candidate for the democratic presidential domination in 1900. Good-bye Bryan. That item, copied from a Astern paper, stating that a ember of Primitive Baptist torches were going over bodily the Missionary Baptists is strongly discredited by the Primitives ot this section and tas created some concer: among kem. We have seen nothing ontthe matter recently and nnot say if they have 0V to the Missionaries. gon.e The low price of cotton is very moralizing and there is much Pmkmon as to its future. If flfcpn ;e continues as low as at rent it looks as if'it willhave abandoned as a money But what can ?take its place ONLY 5-COLUMN THE BEST INSURANCE Greenville, N. G, Oct 5th, 1897. Editor Weekly :The splendid attendance upon the Farmers' Mu tual Fire Association of Pitt county which met in annual session in the Court House yesterday at noon, was indeed a very interesting one, and shows the farmers are waking up to a solid business reform. This Association held its 2nd annual session, having been organized only two years ago, with that excellent gentleman, Col. R. .R. Cotten, as it's first president and who was re elected the third time. This , asso ciation shows a wonderful record in the insurance of property. There was reported by that efficient -and clever sterling business man, Jas. L. Little, cashier of the Bank of Green ville, as follows : Number of holders of certificate, 480 ; amount of insurance, $387, 805 ; number of losses during the two years since its organization, five; amount of losses paid; $955, 09 ; the average cost per thousand dollars, $1.20. Thus it is that the members..of this Association have felt the security of - rot-class safe insurance fortwo years " at a cost absolutely nominal. These are features in this plan of insurance that strike with force the common sense of every man who will think of it for one moment The losses are paid by the assessment of its members, and is promptly adjusted by our own home people, and paid with a I promptness that is most highly gratifying, showing forceful demonstration of the great principle of the brotherhood of man, and car rying out the divine injunction of ' bearing one another burdens. Not a single delinquent has been found since the organization, but all promptly respond as soon as an as sessment is reported, not waiting the usual time allowed by old-line insurance companies to pay the loss. It seems to be a labor of love, as JL have heard some of the members express it This method of insur ance is within the reach and means of every man owning farm property, and if the masses would insure at this insignificant" rate, it would have such a wholesome effect of destroying in the minds of the peo ple of taking around a subscription 1If ?iA enmp nnor unfortunate when he sustains a loss of his home rbr his barn, etc This principle of insurance would do much to stimulate a love and respect for the citizenship of the county. The increase of i37o in the past year shows the popularity sentiment and better understanding the people are becoming to have in it, and the splendid official man agement that has been faithfully administered by its officers and agents, is an earnest of good faith and confidence akin to inspiration. No money is carried beyond the State. No costly elegant office buildings and hige-salaried offices ( and supurflous "red tape' charac- 3-PAGE WEEKLY NEWSPAPER IN THE U. S. terize the purity of people as arc often, and almost always displayed in the old-time companies. This is an association spcciclly for the farmer and laborer, and on ly farm property is insured ; and last, but not least, it is an alliance of the farmers in which politics can never come, and it is to be hoped every farmer will become a member J who owns property subject to loss. Isaac A Sugg. The Big Shows- The Great John Robinson and Franklin Bros. Combined -Shows will be here on Wednesday the 27th inst One of the distinguishing fea tures with the grandest and best shows, 'which will be seen in all their unapproachable completeness is the notable equestrian act per formed by the world's most famous Miss Grade Thomas, ' the most petite and handsome young horse woman, whose surprising accom plishments have made her the idol of every country. No other lady rider has ever achieved that high grade of excellence accomplished by this gifted young artist Even her professional rivals acord her the palm of superiority, and point with pride to her as their leader. No prettier picture can be conceived than this young girl, endowed by nature with rare beauty of form and face, dancing and pirouetting upon the back of a swiftly running horse, with the same ease, grace and abandon as a premier behind the footlights of the mimic stage. Miss Thomas is, however, , only one of the scores of exclusive features which are daily presented by thi3 collosol tented exposition, which, as a whole, far su passes any amuse ment enterprise the world has ever known. It is the only place in all America where 20 lions in one cir cus can be seen. For the Pen. Sheri IT.
