Grangers’ Life and tlenlth Insurance Co,
Notwithstanding the general dull
ness in commercial circles all over the
entire country, and whilst many life
companies are withdrawing their agen
cies from the South, the above named
company is gradually extending its
business over the entire Southern States.
It will bo seen that five Southern States
have been thoroughly organized and
and all working harmoniously. Each
State department is, in fact and reality,
a home company, and has one hundred
thousand dollarf of capital, which un
der the charter of the parent office, can
never bo withdrawn. The entire re
serve is also loand and invefted by each
State department, and can never be ta
ken out of the State. T-hes popular
features have commanded this strong
organization to our people. While
each State department is subordinate
to, it is also co-ordinate with the parent
office. Its strength is its combination
of companies. The five States and the
parent office constitute six companies
combined. Four other Southern States
will be. added in the next twelve
months. The parent office is now is
suing one hundred policies per month.
It will be seen that tnis company has
established a branch office in this city,
composod of our very best business
mon, with Mr. B. B. Ferrill ns general
agent for this city and the southern
part of the State. The company has
been exceedingly fortunate in selecting
our best business men for their branch
board in this city. Thoy are men of
large business experience, men of in
fluence and position. Iu the selection
of their general agent they have com
bined in Mr. B. B. Ferrill ever qualifi
cation a company could desire to secure
succes—energetic, trustworthy, exceed
ingly popular, and in every sense of
tho word, a most perfect gentleman.
He is also prepared to offer special
inducements to those desireing to in
sure against fire.
If this company, with its popular
features and leverage for business, is
prudently and judiciously managed,
it is destined to becom one of the per
manent life companies of the South.
Its calculations are pased upon the old
Massachusetts non-forfeiting plan, 4
per cent, reserue; makes no new and
untried experiments, and does bus
iness alone upon tho cash system—the
only sure way.
As a Southern institution it should
be patronized and encouraged.—Savan

Correction Made.
Editor Courier:
I have recently understood that I
should have said, that Capt. S. C. Trout
was a defaulter to the amount of eight
thousand dollars. In using the word
defaulter, I misapplied the word*, and
should have said, Capt. Trout was be
hind 88,000 in colleoting the taxes of
last year. And os one of the Board of
County Commissioners, I can truly say,
that it has been no fault of Capt. Trout
that he is behind in collecting the taxes.
He reported to the Commissioners his
arrearages, and the Commissioners in
structed him to sell the property of all
defaulters, and buy it in for the county,
which was done in one or two instan
ces, when instructions was received
from Atlanta, that such a course of pro
ceedings was illegal. But as for my
saying or meaning, that Capt. Trout was
a defaulter, in collecting the taxes and
not paying it over to the Treasurer.
Such a thought never entered my head,
for the Board, as well as myself, knew
there was no grounds for such an asser
tion. The error was in my misapply
ing the word “defaulter,” for behind in
collecting the taxes. All know that Capt,
Trout is, and has been a faithful, honest
and courteous officer, and his declining
a re-election would be a greater loss to
the people and county of Floyd than to
himself; and one thing is very certain
if Capt. Trout conludes to become a
candidate for Tax Collector, I should
most assuredly vote for him, as an effi
cient and reliable officer.

We understand that R. V. Allen, of
the firm of Allen & McOsker, says he is
not only anxious to know who can cook
the best biscuits, but would like to see
how it is done, and in order to obtain
that information, he is willing to make
the fires and carry tho water for all
who wish to compete for the prize, and
see that they have no other help or
instructions, and will let Mack stay at
the store. This is very liberal and
prudent on tho part of Mr. Allen. We
are inclined to think he will have a
hard week’s work of it, and will under
stand making fires and carrying water
by the time he gets through.

A Brutal Murder.
We regret to have to record another
brutal murder, committed by that
madman, Gus Johnson, whose deeds
of violence render him the terror of
all who come in his way. His victim,
this time, was a negro named Alfred
McCarver, and the deed was done in
cold blood, without provocation or pre
meditation. The circumstances, as
reported to us upon reliable authority,
are as follows: Johnson was in the
city day before yesterday, and in the
afternoon left for some point below.
At King’s ferry, on the Coosa, he hailed
the ferryman, Alfred McCarver, and
ordered him to bring over the boat.
The negro started to do so, when
Johnson called to him to hurry up.
The negro replied that he was hurry
ing all that he could. This answer
enraged Johnson, who, with an oath,
raised his shot-gun and fired on the
unfortunate negro, killing him almost
instantly. At the time he Bhot, Miss
Morton, the daughter of Mr. C. P.
Morton, was riding by on a high-met
tled horse, which became frightened
and ran away, dashing her to the
ground and severely injuring her.
After this inhuman murder, Johnson
coolly rode off and is still at large. He
