Gid Ledsinger, the agent of the
Mutual Life Insurance company of
New York is in the city this week.
This is a good opportunity for our
good citizens to take a policy in ihc
faithful old Mutual—that is the oldest,
largest and strongest company in the
United States, and by many millions
the largest financial institution in the
world—the assets amounting to over
$120,000,000.
The Mutual has certainly shown
her fidelity to the south, there being
no discrimination made between hm
policy holders here and in the North.
It will be remembered also that two
years ago she sent to the earth¬
quake sufferers at <Charleston $10,000
—I hat only a short time ago she
bought $ 1,900,000 of the Georgia
state bonds and last week sent $2,000
to the yellow fever sufferers at Jack¬
sonville, Fla.
This is the company in which to
Insure your lives.
OUR FIRST FAIR.
It was a success.
Everybody says so, and what ev
erybody says is so, must be so.
The attendance was not as large as
it ought to have been, for every man,
woman and child, white, black and
colored, ought to have been here and
seen the sights. But enough were
here for the gate money to l )a y the
expenses, and that was all anybody
expected.
The original stock is intact. It will
be used in getting the $1000 blue
ribbon at the Columbus Exposition,
and the people w ill be asked to aug¬
ment it so as to make assurance doub
ly sure. But. we digress.
The first Harris county fair is the
subject now in hand, and if some one
will hold us while we holler, we will
come back to it in a minute.
The department of farm products
was grand. It was full and the ar¬
ticles displayed were unmatchable.
Every other department was repre¬
sented and in all the articles were
meritorious.
“It took six years to bring Decatur
county up to the point Harris lias
reached the first year,” commented
Judge Allen.
“On to Columbus and victory,”
shouted director Kimbrough when he
took it all in.
“I never saw the State Fair have a
better agricultural display,” remarked
director Mobley. “Harris county is
the best county in the world and I
have said so all the while.”
“I have been to Macon, Atlanta,
Louisville and Cincinnati expositions
and I have never seen a county dis¬
play at either that equaled ours here
to-day,” commented director Booker.
“By jings, Harris county, she’s a
rouser when you get her started,”
bubbled director Cline. “Did you
see them six big stalks of cotton from
Mountain Hill?”
Judge Hudson, Tom McGehee and
Boh Fort all felt too good to say any¬
thing. They were literally too full
for utterance.
And it deserved all the praise it
got.
But the nexl one is going to heat
it. Just wait and see if it doesn’t.
The judges passed upon the arti¬
cles in the several departments Fri¬
day, and below we give the list of
awards. Next week we will give a
list of articles deserving special men¬
tion, which is crowded out this week.
