InN inety-nine out of a hundred cases, such a calamity would so cripple the operation of a farm that t would take several years to overcome the loss. There is but one way to prevent such losses: By insurant e in a Strong Company. We have writteil HAIL INSURANCE, since responsible companies first undartook this class of insurance, and believe we have had more experience in iWip line than any other agency in this section. We have settled every loss to the absolute satisfaction of our clients in Every Case Hail insurance is written for the Growing Period, and costs the same whether taken in April or August.

I am enclosing ? clipping which I took from The State a few days ago. I read it with a great deal of interest and can not refrain from writing you a few lines to congratu late you on your long pastorate and the faithlul services you have render ed your people. I have known you from my early youth and have always 'believed that you were led into the minitsry by the highest and purest motives and that your entire life has br < n consecrated to the service of God and to Ihe welfare and upbuild ing of your people. Of course, I real ize fully that you came along at an unfortunate period in your early life and have been greatly handicapped by the I m-k of an education but you have made the best of your opportunities and have led many poor souls to a better lite and that (Jod has blessed your mini try and will give you a crown in the life to come. Since I saw you last 1 have joined the I'resby terian Church and am trying to lead a consistent, Christian life and by the help o| (Jod, I hope to meet you on the other shore. I did not join the ( hurch until I was '>.1 years old and up to that time had been relying on my right living, morality etc. to give nie a passport into Heaven but I heard Hilly Sunday when he was in Colum bia two years ago, preach a sermon on "The Unpardonable Sin," and t.hat put me to thinking. He summed i*>. up that the unpardonable sin was: for one not to publicly confess Jesu i Christ as his Lord and Savior and unite with some Christian church, 'hat. settled the point with me. Since I joined I have felt a great deal bet ter and the only regret I have is that I did not join long before I did, when I could have rendered more service than 1 am now able to render. I am glnd to tell you that my general health is good but I still suffer a lo with rheumatism from which I d>. not expect to ever gel mu h relief However, I am thankful that my in firmities are not any worse. I hope to meet you again before we pass in to the great beyond. Invoking upon you the choicest bio ngs of (Jod and praying that He will continue to guide and direct you through the remaining years of your life, I nm, with best wishes, Yours very truly and sincerely, A.
