.WutI Life Pollclen Agnln,
A short time ago Mr. William Heath, of Lake-
wood, N. J., died. Many years ago he took out
two policies of insurance in The Mutual Life In
surance Company‘of New York, one for $15,000
and the other for $5000. When these claims were
settled the company paid $2*1,733, the $4733 being
a portion of the dividends which Mr. Heath had
allowed to remain unused. The total premiums
paid amounted to $6139.89, so that the company
returned $18,953.11 more than he had paid in, or
$4.01 for every dollar invested. This is only one
of the thousands of illustrations of the advantage
of selecting The Mutual Life Insurance Company
of New York, which is the largest and strongest
company in the world, and which, by strict econ
omy of management, is enabled to make better
returns to its policy-holders than any other com
pany.—Atlantic City Review.
TWO CLIPPINGS FROM THE BOSTON COURIER
Charles E. Adams, of Sprihgfield, Mass., had a
life policy of $1000 in The Mutual Life Insurance
Company, which amount was jkkid to his heirs
last week. The total premiums paid had
amounted to only $70.84. Caleb Thompson, of
South Braintree, Mass., had an endowment pol
icy in the same company which matured and was
paid to him, the total amount being $1231.82.
The policies in The Mutual Life Insurance
Company of New York pay the holder at settle

“Oh, yes. The sir gentlemen who made this ne

—The passenger traiu on the Columbus and
Rome railroad will leave for Greenville Sundi j
morning at 7 o’clock for the accommodation of
those who expect to attend the Warm Springs j upon motion of Mr. Davis Andrews, of Musco-
canip meeting. I gee, Eugene J. Wynn, Esq., of Chattahoochee,
A correspondent writes us as follows from j was elected secretary.

men, to correct this evil which can be done so I
easily, and which their contract requires they
should »lt'? If they would complete a system for
waste water from their nnperreservoir so as to let !

this company will do nothing. Neither woul 1 you
or I if wo were not forced to do so. They just stand
back on theirdignitv and wait for this body to say
to them plainly, positively, to comply at once
with the contract. Noqeofits blaine tliem. We
would do, perhaps, the same thing under siugu-
’ circumstnnces. But I nsk von, gentlemen, are
doing our duty to the people we represent, I
for one answer no. I venture the assertion that
there is not a man in this meeting but has been
talked to on this subject time and again, and in
many instances appealed to for some remedy.
We are the only people that can remedy this evil,
and I say lest not delay any longer.
