Stacey Wade, Insurance Commissioner, do hereby certify that the above is a true and correct abstract of the statement of the Norwegan Atlans Fire Insurance Company, of Ghristiana, Norway, filed with this Department, showing the condition of said Company on the 31st day of December, 1920. Witness my hand and official seal, the day and date above written. STACEY W. WADE, Insurance Corfimissioner. (Issue of May 25, 1888) A strong delegation attended the Democratic Congressional convention st Lenoir yesterday.

We were unable to hear anything from the convention up to going to press. Incessant rains, high; and muddy roads deprived many of our citizens of the pleasure of attending Rutherford College commencement, which took place Tuesday and Wednesday. Prof. G. P.

Jones will commence to teach a class in penmanship in Prof. Gilmer's schoolroom next Monday evening. Prof. Jones is a thoroughly competent teacher of the art and this a splendid opportunity for those who wish to improve their handwritings. We announce with pleasure that the building of a cotton factory at Morganton is no longer in doubt.

Messrs. E. F. Reid, S. D.

Dunnavant and Hardy Hicks compose the firm and have entered into written contract to erect and operate a cotton factory at Morganton with a large producing capacity. 'A suitable plat has been selected and purchased from Mr. John Campbell, near the depot. The commissioners have entered into contract to exempt the company from taxation for five years. Contracts will be let at once for the erection of the building.

If these gentlemen will allow more stock to be taken in this enterprise, we don't know of a better investment that could be made than in a cotton factory in Morganton, and further, it would prove to the gentlemen the good faith on the part of our citizens to encourage the laudable enterprise. We desire to add that a cotton 'factory, with other machinery that is now in operation and more soon to go up, is the best indication we have seen for the further prosperity of our town and county. One enterprise of this kind calls for another and another, until soon our town will be numbered with the manufacturing towns of the State, and no better word can be said of any town, either at home or abroad, than that it is a manufacturing town. The cold weather of last week did more damage than was at first thought. We talked with several of our farmers last Saturday on the subject and some expressed the opinion that the wheat crop had suffered damage and that early garden vegetables had suffered irreparable lossk.
