Why do you carry insurance on

fire insurance policy does not lapse.
But listen, Mr. Business Man!
Suppose you knew the money
you pay annually for your policies
was going into insolvent compa
nies! That means you have “thrown
away” that much money.
And suppose you had a fire dur
ing that year!
There is a lesson in the picture

callup our FLe Insurance department NOW. Tomorrow may be

WRITES OF HIS NEW HOME.
E. J. Brock Formerly of iackson County
Writes to the friends of His Old
Home.
Milburn, I. T., Feb. 22, 1906.
To the Independent:
Well boys, as all of you are
readers of the independent and
as I promised to write, I will
drop you a few lines in the most
welcome Independent. I will
give some of the advantages of
this section, which is an all round
good country I th'nk for a poor
man—a good farming country,
also a good stock country. Hogs
run out the year around. Horse
and cattle winter themselves in
some sections of the country.
Grass is green in the flats now
and the cattle and horses are
grazing some.
This is a timber country of

black sandy land and will raise
anything most you want to plant.
Corn makes from twenty to
fifty bushels per acre, cotton
from one-half to a bale. Some"*
land is being sold bringing from
$10 to $40 per acr-e and you can
rent this land from $2 to $3 per
acre.
We are surrounded by good
little towns, among them Mil
burn, which is new and building
fast. It has a railroad and an
other is promised. This section
is fast settling up. It is a good
healthy farming country and
this parr of the territory needs
more good farmers. There are
thousands of acres of good land
here that have never had a stick
of timber cut off.
Now boys don’t come out here
expecting to see money growing
on these black-jack bushes, for
it don’t come that way. You
nave 10 maive u acre nive you uu
there by hard work. And don’t
come thinking you will find a
better country than Arkansas
for that isn’t here. The only
difference is, health is good and
land rents are cheap. 1 would
advnse you to come and see for
yourself before moving.
Well boys, I would like to be
back and help to thin the can
didates out to a good stand for I
see some of' my friends are on
the ticket I would like to vote
for. if this country comes into ^.
statehood I guess we will soon
have some candidates of our own
and as they are so thick in Jack
son county if they miss their
landing we invite them to come
out here and try their hand.
Well, dear Editor let the good
old Independent come on as fast
as Uncle Sam can carry her.
With best wishes to all of you
and success to the Independent.
