s There is a romaace connected w
th
the early acquaintance of William
Jennings Bryan with Miss Mary
Baird, now Mrs. Bryan, which has
never been published. Only a few
persons know the story. Oueof this
' number is a Topeka man, who re
lates it. At the same time that Miss
Baird was a student in the Jackson
ville Femala College, at Jackson-
' iVille, 111.' young Bryan was attend
ing the lliuois College at the same
place. After a certain hour in the
afternoon the young ladies of the
college were free to promenade
about the college grounds, and while
enjoying this recreation took the op
portunity to "flirt " with the boys
trout the Illinois College, who were
invariably on hand. It was during
the promenades that Miss Baird al
traded the attention of young l!i v
an and a flirtation was begun. This
led to an acquaintance, and a meet
ing was arranged at the home
of a relative of the young lady 's in
the suburbs of Jacksonville. The
first meeting was but a forerunner
of a series of weekly visits by both
parties to the same place. But the
enjoyment of the young couple was
not allowed to proceed without in
terruption. The matter came to the
president of the female college and
b,3 at once called Miss Baird to him
aid questioned her concerning it.
She acknowledged thatshe had been
in the habitof meeting young Bran
and as such conduct was distinctly
Vv wnteuce was expulsion. She was
'ordered to lie in readiness to leave
ie college at a certain date.
The news of Miss Baird's expul--'
'.on' reached Bryan the same day.
V d, without waiting to map out any
" ns of procedure, he hastened to
resident's office. Young Bryan
; WSsyven then the prize orator of the
-. Illinois College, and he started in to
- nvince the president that he had
vifaken the wrong course and that the
I expulsion was unmerited. A few
" days prior to this event Bryan had
, jwritten the parents of Miss Baird,
i5king their consent to visit the
, " '- TOung lady . Although he had not

it
p the end of an hour young Bryan
'd the president of the college look
AOg at the matter in an entirely dif-,.-
ferent light. Not only was the sen-
tence of expulsion repealed, but
- Bryarf obtained consent to visit Miss
.Baird. at the college weekly. Al
though it was not until after the
young couple had left their respec
tive colleges that their engagement
was announced,1 it was while at

Raleigh, N. C, March 10, 1896.
On the 14th day of March, 1895, we
took out a policy in the Southern
Stock Mutual Insurance Company of
Greensboro, N. C, and paid the com
pany J16.50 and received a return of
20 per cent, dividend, amounting to
$3.30, making total cost of insurance
but $13.20. Same insurance in other
companies cost $16.50.

Last year we paid the Southern
Stock Mutual Insurance Company
$184. .00 for lire insurance. We have
received notice of dividends to our
credit of $12.30. Our policies are for
three years, and if our dividends for
the next two years are no less than
they were for 18!).) (as we have every
reason to expect ) the total saving in
the cost of our insurance will lx- J.'!li.!)0,

NOTK --If vou are a policy-holder
of the Southern Stock Mutual Insur
ance Company, or if you exiect to tie,
you are interested in "the profits of the

select risks the company ear, secure,
the larger the prolit to policy-holders.
Therefore, if your neighbor has good
property to insure, tell of the advan
tages of insuring in the Southrrn
Stock Mutual Insurance Company.
Hand this statement to some reliable
property-owner who is not a policy
holder. N. B.--When eometitors criticise,
remember that they are competitors.
and that we are taking business from
them.
The 20 per cent, return to policy
holders for 1895 was made on the first
year's operations, in spite of the com
bined opposition and hostility of com
peting companies and their agents,
and in t he face of more serious diflcul
ties than the Company will ever en
counter again, and it maybe counted
upon with reasonable certainty that
the profit to poliey holders will never
tie less than it was last year.
This i the only company doing
business in North Carolina whose
policy holders participate in the
prolits and at the same time assume
no liability to assesemcnt.
