FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1899. GOOD EVENING. Jimmy McNally, former green goods king, has arrived and now Bridgeport is happy. The ground hog didn’t do a thing to the weather. The names of the New York poison- ers are now promised by district attor- ney Gardner. It is to be hoped that they will prove to be the right parties. The Danbury county seat patch is in danger of removal. The Republican prosecuting attor- ney’s seat on the Town Court ice wagon now appears to be in danger. The applicants for the prosecuting liquor agent’s berth are keeping very quiet and watching their incubators. The substitution of record is a danger- ous game to play with a wide awake judge. The fight for the associate judgeship of the Town Court promises to be a knockout. Bridgeport has a boy who is enamor- ed with the Fire Devils. Can it be possible, that the ground hog carried Mr. Light’s bill back into the hole with him. consolidation Pneumonia. cars are occasionally in evidenCe on the trolley roads. Spain’s Greatest Need. M1. R. P. Oli\ia-, of Bz‘ncclona, Spain, spends his winters at Aiken, S.. C. Weak nerves had caused severe pains in the back of his head. On using Electric Bitte1s, America’ s greatest Blood and Nerve Remedy, all pain soon left him. He says this grand medicine is what his count1y needs. All America knows that it cures liver and kidney trouble, pu1ifies the blood, tones up the stomach. strengthens the nerves, puts vim, vig01 and new life 1n- to every muscle, ne1 ve and organ of the body. If weak, tired 01 ailing you need it. Every bottle guaranteed, only 50 cents. Sold by John A. Riggs, Drug- gist, 11 Main stieet. ——-——-—-—-—-<o.o>»r The Etna Life Insurance Company. In commenting upon the Annual Statement of the Aetna Life Insurance Company of Hartford, Connecticut, which appears in another column, it is worthy of note that, while there .Were such marked gains in all essential par- ticulars, the total business was con- ducted at a percentage of cost no great- er than in previous years. There must be a cause,—a good and sufficient reason, for the remarkable fact that the stormy and warlike year of 1898 was the most prosperous and successful one in the history of the Aet'na Life. There must be some log- ical explanation of the fact- that last year the Aetna compassed results cx- ceeding those of year through which it has come: Increasing its Assets m'cr $2,042,000.00; its Surplus over $357,000.00; and its Total Insur- ance in Force over 815.408.9841 00. The Total Income, of $8,863,895.09, the larg- est in its history, and over $306,343 larger than it was in 1897, makes this an y great Life and Accident Insurance Company the largest and strongest cor- poration of its kind in the New Eng- land States. ' - We think it must be apparent to the sincere inquirer that these surprising results are due to the strong, steady, conservative policy of the Company’s , mauagement,—te the entire absence of “gboom'” or "‘racing” tactics, and the substitution therefor of steady, pro- gressive systematic efiort,—to wise campaigning and cautious financiering. To every gain. that this great Company it is justly entitled; and, truly may it be recorded, that its posi- tion has been honorably and faithfully won. A A-- THE OTHER FELLOWS.
