Those citizens of the town who are subject to the approaching draft to farnish soldiers for our army, and who desire to ayoid that service, arein- vitedto join in the following self-insuring scheme: ‘ Every citizen who is liable to be drafted can de posit the sum of One Hundred Dollars in the Bank of Commerce. The whole sum fo deposited will constitute a fund for the exclusive benetit of those of the depositors who may he drafted The scheme will work thus: Should there be one hundred depositors, for instance, and only twenty of them be drafted, eighty would be protected from service uy paying one hundred dotfare ane ° while the whole ten thousand dollars would be distributed in sums of five hundred dollars each to the twenty who were dra'ted. With that they could obtain substitutes or keepthe money and go into service. at their own option. Of course the real result will be so varied from the one here given as an illustration as to make it more or less beneficial to the drafted parties ; but there is thie abrolute certainty about it: that every drafted man will get the whole of his money back, with the almost equal certainty of more thes 2ouUle THRU SUL, amd @proUADINLY OF MIs Fe- ceiving a sum of not less than five hundred do'lars, In this scheme there can be no juggling, no pre- cedence of favorite individuals, or tricks played off upon the unsuspecting. There will be but two well ascertained parties: those who escape the draftand lose their hundred dollars, and those who are drafteé and get all the money deposited by the whole association. fhould this scheme fail o’a faverable result, or work any particular bardship to one of the de- positors. the subrcriber hasin view an adjunctive 8cheme which will afford the necessary relief with- out any ec uhiona oped to ihe iati For any further information apoly to au 27-lw HENKY ADDISON, Mayor. _ YW.
