THE FIRE.
The boys responded to tho fire
alarm yesterday morning with their
usual promptness. The fire started in
a builing situated on the right of way
or the banta Fo and belonging to the
Southern Cotton Oil compauy, IIous
ton, but was rented by E. B Great
house ami F. Schwarte. Mr. Great-
house lost about seventy-five or
hundred bales of millet, no insurance;
the policy having expired last Satur-
diy and was not renewed as Mr.
Greathouse was rnoviug the millet to
another house. The cotton seed be-
longing to Mr. Schwarte was baked
over. Did not learn what insurance,
or it any. The fire was generally
supposed to have been started by
t ramps, as several w as seen t u mbl mg

blaze was discovered. The tire boys
(the bes^ volunteers in the state)
worked laithlnl aud succeeded in
saving the walls of one building,

Dear correspondents, why is it that
we all head our letters “Ed. Times?’

wo all quit it?

In looking over the future, as adopt-
ed by tho Ailiauco at St. Louis, wo
find ‘Jvetoilowing:
“We assert our purpose to vote
with tho political orgauizatioii which
represents our principles.” Now. Mr.
Edito”, we know of 110 political party
which represcuts all the principles as
set forth by tho Farmers’ Alliance,
but we do know that tho principles,
as set forth by the gruud old Demo-
cratic party, covers nearly all, aud, as
slated by you aome time 9ince, might
be embodied iu tho Democratic plat-
greivances, they say “oh, well, you
ust go home aud tako caro of your
farm, »nd we will take care of the
government, besides your measure
is unconstituaionai, and smacks too
much of paternalism,” andthon turn
right around and vote to give the
widow Gai field a pension of iivo
thousand del ars a yoar, when she i«
already rich aud don’t need It; any
paternalism' about that? Ask Roger
Q Mills. We think it about time to
retire mauy of the old political hacks
havo been there long enough, some
have been in congress for the last
twenty years, aud wo defy any one
to point out one single measure that
they havo been instrumental lu pass-
ing, that was calculated to benefit or
enhance the interest of the common
people. Not ;ono. Yes, turn them
out, it spoils them to keep them in too
long; for instance, look at the Hon.
Roger Q. Mills, because tho people
didu’t see proper to promote him to
speaker of the house, he took the
sulks, pouted, got sick, went home
and went tis'iug, that, too, alter the
people had t)"eu thrusting honors up-
on him for twenty vears, and uow,
liko a spoiled child, he is crying aud
whining around, beggjng the people
to turn out the young mau, llorraco
Chilton, from tho United Stales sen-
ate and promote him to that position
Yos turn thorn out, and keep turning

with me a few moments; the first aud
grandest cause Is, we need better
teachers, wo need as good teachers as
there is, though we don’t get them.
We don’t need these $40 teachers,but
we want a firist-class teacher, cue who
is compctout to teach school.
We have a splondid free school sys-
tem in Boll county, but under the
prejont management of tho patrons
and teachers the country schools will
never advance as fast as they would
if they would be more careful iu 6C-
lec ing their teachers, but’iliey dou’t
seem to care, just so ho or sho bold a
second grade certificate; they will em-
ploy a young and inexperienced
teacher, and ho wiil turn every schol-
ar back to tho first ot their books,and
perhaps bo will not teach more than
two months before some oue will fall
out with htm, and very soon breaks
up tbe school, and tbe next session
wiil be the same thing over again,
the scholars will be turned back to the
first of their books, and the result is
they never get an education, but a
great many of thou grow up in iguo'-
ance. Now, dear irienus, ju3t bo
more careful iu tbe selectiou ot your
teachers; got a good one if yon have
to pay them $60 or $75 per month, it
will pay you, and if you should get
one thut doesn’t possess (he same re-
ligous or political view- that you do,
dou’t kick about that, always : emcin-
ber that a sorry teacher is belter thau
no teacher at all, ami never stop your

dren tell you. Now, friends, try to
improve your schools. I don’t intend
to offend auy one by these brief re
marks. I am taking up too much

discussion at some future time.

ome Insurance Company,
llO Broadway.
New York, January 20th, 1892.
DOWNS BROS. Agents,
TEMPLE, TEXAS.
Herewith we hand you the statement of the Company, showing its
condition at the close of 1891.
Thejear has been a hard one for Insurance Companies, so hard
hat many have given up the struggle for existence; still the “HOME” comes
out of the battle stronger than ever before.
Please notice not only the amount, but the quality of the securities
held by the company and the enormous Re-Insurance Reserve held for the se-
curity of Policy holders.
The premium receipts of the company during the past year have
been larger than e\ er before, the increase over the verv large premiums of 1890
being some $700,000.00, although many risks which have proved unprofitable
have been cut oil without hesitation and the business was never in better
shape than now.
In 1892 the officers look to every agent to increase his business over
hat of 1891 on all classes of desirable risks.
The experience of all companies shows that rates are entirely too low
upon all classes sf risks, especially special hazards and large mercantile risks
both wholesale and retail, upon which the losses dining the past year have
been simply enormous.
The co-operation of every agent is confidently expected to secure
an increase of business so that 1892 may be the most prosperous year in the
history of tde company.
Yours very truly,
JOHN H. WASHBURN,
Vice President.
