Mutual Fire Insurance Association OF SUMTER COUNTY. THIS IS AN ENTERPRISE OF THE farmers, by which they can secure pro? tection on their detached and isolated build? ings at cost. It can not break, ns many Capital Companies do, and leave a number in the ashes. All looses roust be paid up in full before any association can disband In all the States where this plan of insurance has been operated, it has not only proved to be cheaper, but there is not a case on record where they have ever disbanded or failed to pay a claim, and that is covering a period of twenty years. It is only company that positively can not break, and the only one that 'recognizes you as an interested" party to the policy contract.

Why should the people of this State pay more thin a million a year for security against fire-more than the losses amount to fire, no pay, is our motto. The following is a list offcers elects for the Sumter Coauty Association tor the ensuing year H. G. SHAW, President. CALVIN W.
