INSURANCE RATES.
Some Kicking Over Them by Car
. tersville’s Citizens.
The insurance rates for Carters
ville have always been considered
high, but it was thought that when
the waterworks were built and a
fire department organised, they
would be very materially lessened.
They will be lessened, but not as
much as it is thought they should
be.
The rating agent oi tiie Southeas
tern Tariff Association was in town
last week and the new schedule he
will establish will amount to about
twenty per cent, reduction. There
are from $12,000 t > >' 1 ,000 annually
paid out to insurance companies on
Cartersville property and the
twenty per cent, reduction will be
a saving of from $2,400 to $3,000.
It is said there will be little, if tiny
reduction on residence property,
while it will be great on store prop
erty.
ft is thought that the proposed
reduction is not enough when is
considered our excellent system of
protection against fire. Many think,
Gather than to submit to such rates
that our people should carry their
own risks. A company could be
formed here for tills purpose and it
would lie of great financial benefit
to the town.
It costs $750 per thousand to in
sure a frame residence. The high
est insurance in the business part
of the town is on the frame row of
buildings above Peacock’s furniture
store, which are insured for $6.50.
The lowest is Dr. Johnson’s corner,
\. inch is insured for $1.50.
The use of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla purifies
tfie blooil, stimulates the secretions, and
imparts new life and vigor to every
ftnetion of the body. For nearly half a
century, it lias remained unrivaled as
th* best blood medicine ever discove red.
Be convinced hv a trial.
ONE FACT
Is worth a column of Rhetoric, said an
American statesman. It is a fact, estab
lished by tlie testimony of thousands of
people, that Hood’s Sarsaparilla does
cure aerofula, salt-rheum, and other (In
cases or affections arising from impure
state or low condition of the blood. It
also overcomes that tired feeling, creates
a good appetite, and gives strength to
every part of tho system.

The Minstrels Monday Evening.
Al. Field’s minstrel company will
appear in the city next Monday
evening. The Evansville, (Ind.)
Journal has the following to say of
the company:
At. Field’s minstrels appeared last
evening at tlie opera house and gave a
most delightful entertainment. They
are superior in everything ir their line
to anything that has appeared hero tliis
season, and Evansville has paid to see
what is alleged to bo the host traveling
combinations on the road. Tlie special
ties are all first-class in the burnt cork
line. Tlie female impersonator lias a
fine voice, and sings without effort sweet
soprano notes that caught tlie house by
storm. Leonzo, the juggler, out-Japs
the Japs, for his wonderful fiats of bal
ancing keep one in a strain continually
to “help” him in his jugglery. The
whole show is first-class, in fact, and
with continuous applause from tlie rise
to tlie fall of the curtain. The Journal
corn mends Mr. Field and his combina
tion to the amusement public as pre
miers in their profession.
Notice.
All persons indebted to
the late firm of Peacock &
Veal are requested to make
i nmediate settlements of
their notes and acc’ts, or

A Wreck on tlie W. & Railroad.
About 2 o’clock Thursday of last
week the freight train pulled by
the Campbell Wallace was knocked
off the track near the transfer yard.
A cow was the cause of the acci
dent. The engine struck the ani
and dragged her about fifty yards
under tlie wheels, when it was
thrown from the track and six coal
cars following were also piled up
on both sides of the roitd. Fortu
nately no one was hurt, and the es
cape of the fireman and engineer
may be regarded as something mi
raculous. They both stayed in the
engine. The fireman started to
jump but was held by his brother,
engineer Brice, and was thus saved
from what would have been certain
death. The wreck was soon cleared
away and the trains were running
on their regular schedule.
