G. Smith ; "Illusion *" Polka, alto solo, by W. H. Crook, and "Tioga Bass," solo by S. C. Fans. The death angel has again laid his hand in our midst.

Nye, Familiarly known as "Bill Nye," was perhaps, the most popular humorist of the Nineteenth century, and millions of people read his productions each week, and were pained to hear of his death a short time ago. Mr. Nye's home was Buck Shoals, near Arden, Buncombe county, N. C. He had a very interesting family and was devoted to it and it to him. He realized a large income from the products of his pen ana accumulated a considerable fortune. He was a business man and realized the value ol life insurance as a means of protecting the I widows and orphans, and carried a large sum on ms lire, 50,uw 01 wmcn was in me Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association. His policy was No. 6,289. We delivered No. 303,674 on last Thursday to a gentlemau in Chester. We only make this statement to show the reader how rapidly the Association has grown since Mr. Nye's policy was written 14 years ago, (the company is a little more than 15 years old) and that he was shrewd enough to see that it was safe and sound even in its infancy During the 14 years that the policy was carriea 8831.89 was paid in premiums, or an average cost of 859.42 a year or, ?11.8f per 81,000 each year. If Mr. Nye had had an ordinary life policy in an old line company and paid it the same amount in pre miums that he paid the Mutual Reservi his wife, who was the beneficiary, woulc have received 82,526 instead of 85,000 Gain by insuring in the Mutual Reservi IT SEEMS QUEER to "a man up a tree" that sensible men who are accustomed to apply busiues; principles to all their other affairs, wil continue to go without insurance, or tha some of those who do buy it will volun tarily pay the old line rates when the: can secure just as good protection for les; money. Don't it look that way to yoi since the matter has been called to you attention ? You need insurance. We sel the best offered in the world today. Mor al: See us without delay.
