The first annual fair of the Industrial, Agricultural, Me chanical Fair Company, of Dar lington County, a colored asso ciation recently organized, will be held at this place from No vember 24 to 27. An elaborate programme and a complete pre mium list have been arranged and the fair promises to be quite a success. Persons who arrived in Dar lington on the train from Co lumbia on Thursday night tell of an unusual incident which happened at Lynchburg. A lady boarded the train at that place ; and it was not until the train had moved off from the station that she remembered that she had left her baby in the waiting room. The train had to be backed to the station for the lady to secure her treasure and the whole incident of the moth er’s recovery of the forgotten babe afforded much amusement to the other passengers.

One of the policy-holders of the Equitable Life Assurance Society, Mr. Charles ! A. Edwards, of New York, who, in 1871, took a twenty year Tontine policy with the Equitable for $10,000, writes as follows: "J am extremely well satisfied with this result, obtaining more f/tau'$1,000 in excess of all the premiums J hate paid, in addition to haring enjoyed the protection of my policy during the twenty years it has been in fem e I ant loath to part with such an old f riend as this policy has been to me, but in doing so, I do not propose to part company with the Hijuituble, hating applied for another Tontine policy, the benefits under which I also hope to obtain during my lifetime." Another, Mr Nathaniel Wilson, of Washington, writes in relation to i>oliey No 00,013 as follows: "/ took out a Tontine policy in your Company for $20,000. The policy has been settled to my satisfaction. 1 bate since taken out policies of the same kind for 450,000, because Jam satisfied that the Tontine plan is to be preferred to any of which I hate knowledge." If these statements were from the widows or executors of policy-holders who 1 had died, they would be significant, or, if they were from policy-holders who | were satisfied with their assurance because it furnished protection, and gave them sufficient peace of mind to offset the burden of the continuing annual! premiums on their policies, they would be no more than reasonable assertions. But this satisfaction is something more than this: It is the gratification of men who have, over and above the protection from the assurance, kkauzkd on a j profitable investment. They have reason to be satisfied. For twenty years they have been building up their business and accumulating fortunes, and meanwhile their families and estates have been protected against the disaster which would have come, if through some accident they had died prematurely. But these dangers have now t>een passed, and what is the result? Must they say, “ H> hate paid out a great deal of money in premiums, but we hate en- 1 joyed the protection of onr assurance, and are satisfied that our money has- been well spent: we hate nothing more to expect, and hate nothing further to ask." They might say this, and be content, but they are able to say much more than this, thus: "We are more than satisfied because, in addition to the protection {/iren for all these years, our Tontine policies hate turned out to be good INVESTMENTS, as is prated by the fact that the Eg tillable has returned j all that we hate paid, with interest added ” Think of it! A return of the total amount expended in premiums, with compound, interest at from 3 tod per centum per annum added thereto. GEO. HENRY McKEE, Darlington, S. C., SPECIAL AGENT.
