Hail Insurance.--
A meeting of prominent tobacco growers and other citizens was held at the Franklin House, in the city of Lancaster, on Monday afternoon.  John H. High was called to the chair, and Johnson Miller chosen secretary.  After some discussion in regard to the matter that Lancaster was the largest tobacco-growing county in the State, and the necessity of a company to protect our farmers of this crop from its destruction by hail, which was so serious in some sections of this county during the summer, it was agreed to organize a home company, and the following officers and directors were elected: Peter S. Reist, of Lititz, President; I. A. Stober, of Schoenech, Vice President; Dr. P. J. Roebuck, of Lititz, Treasurer; Johnson Miller, of Lititz, Secretary.  Directors-John H. High, of East Earl twp., James Collins, of Colerain twp., Menno M. Fry, of Warwick twp., Daniel Herr, of Pequea twp., Henry S. Eberly, of Clay twp.

The name of the organization will be the Lancaster County Mutual Hail Insurance Company.  The business office will be located at Lititz.  An application will be made to the Governor for a charter in due time, and books opened to receive applications for insurance.  The company will be put in running order as soon as agents for each township in the county have been appointed.
