When he heaid of the troubles of the Traders he - inquired if the company expected to do anything towards re-insur iug its risks. Getting no eneour-> ngemeut he personally had all of his outstanding risks reinsured in strong companies at his own ex pense. In other words, policy holders had paiil for insurance for a year or mare, and it will cost Mr. Lott $2,C00 out of his own pockot'to make good the un filled part of the insuranoo he has outstanding }n this oompany.

Sunday last marked the close o the fiftieth year of the marris life of our beloved friends, Mr and Mrs. James T. Ouzt3, of Elm wood. The occasion was quietly though beautifully and appropri ately celebrated by a family re uuion at their ideal country home where they have resided since their marriage. lu wavs too nu merous to mention Heaven has blessed tuis happy God-fearing, God-serving couple, but tbe great est blessing has been their chil dren, two sons aud six daughters, jail of whom reflect with honor and ?credit tho lives and teachings of their worthy parents. The children are Dr. W. D. Ouzts, Mr. Albert G. Ouzts, Mrs.' W. J. Adams, Mrs. J. 0. Horin Mrs. W.H. Barling, Mrs. J. M. Shaffer, Mrs. G, T. Asbill and Miss Flora Ouzts, all of whom were prebent except Mrs. Asbill, who resides in Louisville, Ky, Nearly all of their twenty-eight grand-children were also present. The day was spent largely, but not altogether, in delightful social intercourse, for the good wife, mother and grand-mother had pre pared a bountiful feast that was reived in good old fashioned style. Mr. Ouzts has always been "the embodiment of economy, indus try, frugality-an ample provi der-which was abundantly ^de monstrated in this their golden wedd ng dinner. Deserving especial moiitiou is the fact that Mr. Ouzts wore on this oooasion the coat and vest which he wore when married fifty years ago. He also has the hat which he purchased at that time, and Mrs. Ouzts, has her wedding diess. One needs no stronger evidence than Mr. and Mrs. Ouzts' half ceutury of married life to disprove the often repeated statement that marriage is a failure. During all these years God has reigned su preme iu their home. Alay Heav en's choicest blessings continue to be showered upon them, their children and their grandchildren! Letter to B. Cant.?)ou.
