THIS COMPANY WAS CHARTERED,

 species of property in Illinois against Loss or Damage by 

 Fire. Vhe rates of risk are so arranged that eaca class of 

 property insured will support its own lose. 



Every one insured becomes a member— the Company being 

 an association of customers — each of whom is concerned iu 

 insuring his neighbor. The capital angmeuts in exact ratio 

 with the increase of risks; the security 'or which remains in 

 tho hands of the insured ; therefore, evwry member is the 

 treasurer of his own money until the same is required for 

 the purpose of paying losses.

EARLV NANSEMOND POTATOES. 



'4IIS VARIETY OF POTATOES HAS 



i been tried in Indiana for years, and for two or three 

 of the Ust years in Illinois, and has proved to be an early va- 

 riety, sweet and tine, and better adopte<l to our climate than 

 any other of the nnmerous varieties that have been tested. 

 While the large northern Vi rietics become wet and stringey 

 in unfavorable seasons, these are always dry, ai.d fit for the 

 table at any stage of their growth. 



We have them now for sale in sufflc'snt quantities to meet 

 tho demand, and which will be sold for $10 a barrel, deliV'-r- 

 9d at the railroad or express office in Terre Haute or ai A'in- 

 cennei", securely packed in barrels, holding about three 

 measui ed bushels. Less than one barrel, $3 ptr bushel, and 

 ^1 for boxing and deliverinp as above 



The cash must be sent with the order, either by draft on 

 New Vork or by express to Terre Hante, at oi.r coat and risk, 

 or by mail at the risk of the person sending it.
