COMMISSIONER OF
INSURANCE WARNS
FARMERS ON FIRMS
John Copeland, deputy commissioner of
insurance, has called the attention of the
farmers of Georgia to certain so-called
fire insurance companies seeking, by
means of circular letters, to write in
surance on cotton gins throughout the
state “at whatever rate the individual
farmers may figure to be acceptable and
right.”
These circulars. Mr Copeland points
our. are plausibly worded and apt to de
ceive. He puts the farmers on notice
thai all such companies seeking business
in that manner are discredited in Ids
office, and that none of them is recog
nized by the Insurance department of the
state as legitimate.

found a little mistress who has taken
him in, loved and cherished him, and
who believes that in all the land there
is no such dog as "Dixie," even though
he does show signs of being the de
scendant of some twenty different
breeds.
After "Dixie” adopted little Jane
Crandall the other girls in the neigh

and romping in the afternoons after
school was over.
