(From the Hartford Agent)

'N Greenfield, Ind., there stands a house that on September 6, 1916, will have been insured in the

Hartford Fire Insurance Company for fifty years. Policies have been issued

covering that period, and the remarkable circumstance is that this has been a continuous term on the same property, in favor of the same owner in the same Company, and that the policies have been issued by practically the same agent (father and son) for all these years.

The owner is Mr. James A. Flippo, who was born on a farm in Culpeper County, Va., July 26, 1835. and on this farm Mr. Flippo received his first practical experience in life. When a young man he turned his attention to carpentry and soon became an expert workman. He remained in his native State until 1853, when he went west in search of a^ location and finally concluded to make Greenfield, Ind., his permanent home, locating there in December of that year. He then took up his trade, and a few years afterwards, while building a house for Thomas J. Leary in that community, became acquainted with a daughter, Miss Eliza J. Leary. On July 26, 1858, James A. Flippo and Eliza J. Leary were married.

Mr. and Mrs. Flippo commenced housekeeping in the carpenter's shop, where they lived for about seven years, and Mr. Flippo worked, all his spare time, making the necessary frames, sash, and doors to be used in his proposed new dwelling house.

In the spring of 1866, he had accumulated suff^ient money and material to commence the erection of his home, and

by Sept. he had it ready to move into. During that time he became intimately acquainted with the late John A. Hughes, who located in Greenfield just about the time Mr. Flippo came to town. Mr. Hughes was appointed the local agent of the Hartford Fire Insurance Company, and the first policy written as agent was on the new dwelling house of Mr. Flippo, September 6, 1866. The insurance on this dwelling has been continuous in the Hartford Fire Insurance Company from that day to this, the last renewal being made on the 6th of last September.

During the last thirty years Mr. Flippo has not been active at his trade, but served as treasurer of Greenfield for twenty years, and county treasurer for four years. Now he and his wife, whose pictures are shown in connection with the above dwelling, live quietly in the old home located on his three-acre lot in what. is now almost the center of the resident district of the city of Greenfield. This lot was purchased in 1862 for $500, and at a very conservative estimate the property is now worth from fifteen to twenty thousand dollars. The house he built was well constructed and stands up square with the world and is a better house to-day, after its fifty years of existence, than some of the houses that have been built in the last few years.

As stated, the first policy issued by: the Greenfield, Ind., agency of the Hartford Fire Insurance Company was issued by John A. Hughes, the father of the present agent. The elder Mr. Hughes continued to represent the Company until his death in August, 1885, when the agency was transferred his son, William A. Hughes, who is he present representative of the Company in Greenfield, Ind., and gives the Company a large volume of business.

W. H, MOORE TELLS OF VENICE AND SWITZERLAND MOST INTERESTING PLACES HE

HAS EVER VISITED.

The following letter from Wm. H. Moore, dated at the Hotel St. Petersbourg, Paris, France, will be read with interest by his many friends here: "I think I would be making a mistake to attempt to describe Venice, and will not enter very far into details. However, it docs seem queer to the average traveler, who passes through Venice to see. and he in a cilv of I5»i.00 people and

gondola, and you are soon into another shop. Of course there are some narrow sidewalks and bridges but the tariff is very small, and the natives and tourists seem to want to help support the old custom and patronize the gondola, rather than to walk any distance. "I do not think the average traveler would care enough for Venice to want to spend his "life there, but I think he would miss the best part of his journey if he went to Europe and did not see Venice. "Now. of all the places ever have seen, Switzerland is the most interesting. She is a country of many varieties of character. In

Hudson of Europe. While steaming up the Rhine, we stopped at Bingen and then I recalled the story of the soldier of the Legion who lay dying in Algiers, 'For I was born at Bing en, fair Bingen on the Rhine.' I do not wonder at his last words being of Bingen, for to me it is the one beauty spot of all I have seen in Germany. "When we leave Paris we will go lo London, then to Scotland and sit under Stoddard's Bonny Brier Bush and I think we will be satisfied to quit Europe. We have reservations engaged on the Tmperator.' It is my desire to ride the biggest thing that sails on the Atlantic. This steamer is an infant of less than a year old. She is of 50,000 tonnage, has a carrying capacity of 5,000 persons. Now isn't she a whopper? She leaves Southampton April 3d, and believe me, I hope to be there. u, "Yours, "W. H. MOORE/':
