C. \ HOME INSURANCE FOR FARMERS Oconee Farmers' Mutual Insurance Association in Fine Shape. The Farmers' Mutual insurance Association of Oconee county met Inst, week at the Walhalla Court House and. transacted a great deal of Im portant business. All of the old om ce rs were re-elected, as follows: President-J. B. Pickett, Richland. Vice President-,Wm. M. Brown; Oakway. Secretary-Treasurer and Agent-J. D. Isbell, Walhalla. In addition to these officers the fol lowing-township directors were elect ed for the coming terml Ofitor-W M Brown, f! O. Mar tin. Tugaloo-Thos. Bibb, M. A. Ter rell. Keowoe-R. L. Boggs, J. F. Davis. Chattooga-J. D. Hamby, W. R. Hunt. Seneca-John Myers, M. L. Cox. Wagener-S. H. Snead, A. H. Elli son. Pulaski-Gus C. Arve, J. H. Can non. Whitewater-(Directors to be elected later.) During the course of the meeting reports were fi ven, the whole show ing that the association ls in splen did shape, and offering protection to its policy-holders at a remarkably low rate. The whole amount of insurance tn force at present ls $204,000.00, di vided among a membership of 335. For the past ten years the rate paid by policy-holders has been slightly less than one-half of one per cent. Even at this low rate for protection the association has cleared up all claims in full, and has a cash bal ance on hand of $425.00, and holds claims to the amount of $125.00, making in all assets of $600.00, with no liabilities. The Farmers' Mutual is a strictly local association, mutual in its opera tion, sure in the protection offered, and cheap in its rates. It ls hoped that the work may be greatly ex tended in the near future. Some parts of the county are not as fully represented as they should be on the list of policy-holders, and it. is in this direction that special efforts will be made. The success In the past few years in giving to the Oconee farmers a safe, sure and cheap protection ought to insure better results for the fu ture. Any of the officers of the asso ciation will be glad to give informa tion as to the plans of the company, and our beneficiaries are all ready to give their endorsement to the as sociation. Taken as a whole thc meeting last week was more satisfactory than the officers and members had hoped for, and .they feel greatly encouraged in their efforts to extend the work. J. B.
