NEW INSURANCE COMPANY
Will Enter Contest for General Fire
Insurance Business.
Atlanta. July 30. —A number of mer
chants from different parts of Geor
gia gathered in Atlanta yesterday to
discuss tlie formation of a mutual fire
iusiwnce company. . a a result the
Merchants' Mutual Fire Insurance Cos.
will be lauhchqd' as soon '-as the (Con
cern cauLhe., chartered.
Tno prbnwdt rs r. the* company an
nounce tuat it will have a million dol
lars’ worth ot ,justness from the start.
The merchants have come to the con
clusion that there is money in the
lire insurance business and m the-fu
ture they wish to get in on lie profits
from it.
Nunnaliy, a prominent merchant of
Macon, is the ,principal promotor of
the company. Its headquarters will
he located at Monroe, and it is proba
ble that Mr. Nunnaliy will be made
president, (hough it is announced that

writer will he secured to establish
lb agency piant and superintend the

ing. These gentiement wnl be at
torneys for tne new company, and
will at once take steps toward secur
ing the charter As the company is
to he mutual, no capital stock will be
required. However, the gentlemen in
terested in the company state that
the company will enter the fight for
all classes of (ire insurance, but it is
understood that only approved risks
will he accepted. As tne company is
to he largely a merchant's affair, it is
thought that its business will be, to a
large extent, on mercantile stocks and
buildings.

lected to direct the affairs ot the com
pany until tiie issuance of the char
ter, after wbicn the directory will be
named. * ( g

Wallace, of Rutledge; T. B. Anderson,
of Harmony Grove; it. i. Jones of
Canton, and J. 14. Johnson, of Wood
stock.
While the company will not de
mand standard rates, still its promo
tors state that tncy are not going into
the business as rale cutters. They
think tnat hy the return dividends
they can get very cheap insurance and
for that reason have determined to
form the company.
