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company, and has one hundred thousand dollarf of capital, which un der the charter of the parent office, can never bo withdrawn.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 nah NcU’S. 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. Jno. H. Dent. 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. Tu the Public.

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 Cherokee Baptist Femalfe College.
