it the accumulation of a reserve fund,
ihich grows with each assessment and
which. must be invested, relief lor those
seeding money, while at the same time
hsurance is furnished at lowest possible
cost, and now the degree of prosperity to
ihich it has attained justifies the announce
ment that death claims will be baid in full
ter the fifteenth of March next. (See
dverlisement.) The greatest dificulty
'"ihich agents have had in obtaining pat

ise 5s guaranteed now by the pledges of the
officers who are assured of fulfillment by
the prosperous condition and increasing
membership of the associations and it is
now confidently recommended to all those
ho need insurance to apply at once for a
policy, and this is particularly urged upon
-AX in Wilson county; not only on the
round that it will afford the relief desired
but because it is a home company and
needs the co-operation and cordial support

for us to say one- word in favor of insur
ance in general, that has now become a
necessity to the poor man, and such as this
affords the best and cheapest form. The
payments come in small amounts and it
serves the purpose of saving banks with
the strongest assurances that the family
will get the benefit of the savings. The

merits held by wealthy corporations, and
while ours are dependent on the payment
assessments of individual members, we
feel we cau-say ours is just as safe both

Our Savior once said: "It is more bles
sed to give than to receive." We know
notwhen, nor under what circumstances
he made this remark, but may it hot have
been a part of some unreported parigraph
in the conversation at the last Supper?
May not Jesus have made this answer to
some fond disciple who was trying to dis
suade him from giving his life for the
world? And if Jesus found it blessed to
become poor that we might be rich to give
himself to us, shall we forego the blessing
that always come to those who give for the
salvation of others?

The accomplished editor of the Star
says bandits in Mexico slew the husband of
Mrs. Janet M Baldwin, of San Francisco.
She is .now in Washington and seeks in
demnity from the Mexican Government
through the State Department. She ought
to have it. She is the daughter of a dis
tinguished, noble, high-toned North Caro
linian, the late Hon. Daniel Turner, of
Warren. Her mother was the daughter of
the famous Francis S. Key, author of
The; Star Spangled Banner." We had
the pleasure of an acquaintance with -Mr.
Turner. He was a fine specimen of i
man, mentally, physically, socially, mor
ally. He was an Episcopalian of high
type. He retired from Congress volunta
rily, giving the same reason that Governor
Dudley gave he knew he was sober and
honest, and he wished to get away from
Washington in time. There are very few
Edward Dudleys and Daniel Turners now.

Laura Webster, a beautiful girl of San
Francisco, 18 years old, has been a sleep
for seventy days. During that time she
has had no nourishment except milk and
liquids that doctors have given her through
a tube. Her skin has assumed a transpa
rency that . resembles white chalcedony.
She has become exceedingly thin, but her
face has not lost its beauty. She has.been
an invalid for over a year, but more from
her abnormally nervous organization, says
her doctor, than from other causes. She
spent last summer in the country, to her
great benefit, but on her jeturn she gradual
ly became very feeble, until she passed
into her present state of sleep. It !s not
thought she will live long.
