Very respectfully yours, John Ireland. HmneMore Mutual Life Poltcle*. The late Silas D. Montgomery, of South Shafts- bury, Vt., took out policy No. 107,145 in the Mutu al Life in 1870. The policy became a claim last spring and appears in the list of June 18. The face of the policy was for $1000, and the additions amounted to $407, or only $35.20 less than the total amount of premiums which had been paid on the policy. Insurance for sixteen years, aqd $1000 to the estate of the insured, cost therefore $2.20 per year. * In January, 1885, Dr. George W. Blake, of lowea Salem, Washington county, 0** took out policy No. 259,230 in this company far $1000, paying one annual premium of $81.80. On June 10, 1885, he died. In August the company paid his wife $1002. Within eight mouths from the time the policy was issued, Mrs. Blake had received from the company $1002, which had cost her husband $31.80. Joseph B. Barnes, a farmer of Northampton county, N. 0., had paid but one premium of $57.99 on his policy of $1500. At the time of his death last week, his heirs received $1503, as the fruits of this small investment. In 1861, John H. Young, of Beverly, Massachu setts, insured his life in this company for $2000. He allowed his dividends to accumulate, and lost week his widow received $3558 as the result of his loving foresight. this morning, calling upon the ladies to meet at j porting to the office when they fail to get their the library this afternoon, for the purpose of ar- paper.

The protracted meeting at St. Luke church continues with increasing interest. . There was quite a large congregation present last night to hear the very instructive sermon preached by Rev. Mr. MacDonnell, the pastor. There will be ser vices again to-night nt 7:30 o’clock. A CemtniHHsry Burned. Oliver’s commissary, on the Americus, Preston and Lumpkin railroad, was destroyed by fire on Tuesday. The keeper was alone and asleep in the house at the time aiul did not awake until the roof began to fall in, and he barely had time to escape. Nothing was saved, and Mr. Oliver’s loss is estimated at four or five hundred dollars. It is not known how the fire originated. An Attempt to Release Jesse (look. We learn that an attempt was mode Tuesday night to relpase Jesse Cook, the Taylor county wife murderer, who is in jail at Butler. An effort was made to break through the iron grating in the window, but the rescuing party gave up the task from some unknown cause before completing It. Cook is to bo hung to-morrow, and all the arrangements for his execution have been made. Personal. Rev. W. A. Carter and Alonzo Carter, Esq., have returned from New York, Mr. Robert. Spivey, of Greenville, was in the city yesterday. Mr. W. I. H. Pitts, of Wavcjly Hall, is in the city. Messrs. J. B. Huff and George McGough have returned from New York. Mrs. A. I. Young aild family went up to the Warm Springs yesterday. Columbus who feels an interest in the institution will attend this meeting. It is of the greatest importance that the library should be sustained, but unless the membership is increased it will have to go down. No sadder calamity could befall the city. A well kept public library is an absolute necessity to the welfare of every city, and it would be a shame upon the citizens of Columbus to allow our public library to be closed. The directors have labored hard to keep the library out of debt, but it has been an up-hill bus iness. If the ladies will come to their rescue now, there is no doubt that the institution will be placed squarely upon its feet again. Columbus ladies always succeed in whatever they under take. They should bestir themselves and pre serve the life of our public library. They can do it if they will. New Buckwheat Flour at I. L. Pollard’s. THEY ARE WELL PLEASED. The Merchants Kay There Is Already An Improve ment hi file Trade of the City. “You may not think so, but there is already an improvement in business caused by the buying of cotton on the streets again.” This remark was made to an Enquirer-Sun re porter by a prominent merchant yesterday morn ing. Later in the day another merchant said: “I hope you null put it in the paper every day, that cotton is being bought on the streets of Co lumbus again. I already see an improvement in my business. I think I can see that it makes the farmers look more cheerfril. They fteel like they are bossing their own business when they can sell their cotton themselves. Street buying unquestionably causes competition in the market aud the farmers get somewhat better prices. Don’t forget to keep it in the paper that cotton can be sold on the streets of Columbus again.” Another merchant said if the warehousemen did not keep buyers on the streets, the merchants ought to do it. It is agreed on all hands that it is a good thing for the merchants, aiul that the wagon receipts will be largely increased. fttoucwnll Lodge No. 25. K. of 1^.

Dr. George P. Barnes, of Bristol, R. I., secured a policy in this company for $3000, on the five- year distribution plan, July 1,1885. On the third day of last October he was stricken by heart dis ease, and died as though he had been shot. This happened in Dresden, Germany, while he was on his wedding trip; and last week the frill amount of the claim, on which but one premium had been paid, was hai'ded to the young wife and widow. In this week’s list of paid claims appears the name of George N. Walker, a prominent, citizen of Peoria, 111. In 1818 Mr. Walker took a $3000 ordinary life policy in this Company. It cost him $75 a year, and he kept it paid up until the day of his death. The accumulated dividends nearly’equal the face value of the policy and the total claim paid to Mrs. Walker is $5727. D. F.

A correspondent writing from Savannah says : “John Sweeney, alias Pat Ramsey, alias Dan Dennis, alias several other names, was arrested here to-day at the instance of Father O’Hara, who was victimized to the extent of four dollars and a half. The prisoner is a confidence oper ator, who has worked through the country from Boston tp New Orleans, making a specialty of swindling Catholic priests out of squill amounts. He is a medium size, rather respectable looking man, with smooth upper lip and goatee, and is about 50years old. His scheme is to get into the confidence of the priests ami then borrow small amounts for a few days. He got eleven dollars from Rev. Father Schlenke, of Columbus, a short time since. Father Schlenke, who is visiting Sa vannah. heard Father O’Ham describe the swin dler. and they both decided that he was of suffi cient consequence to have an end put to his ca reer, for a time at least. It is believed that he has swindled many priests and Catholics in southern cities.” .11) Aunt Bridget.
