Dr. TVamock went direct to Atlanta, Dr. Franklin took the Eufhula route home, as he had some business in that place.

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 ment about 5,*4 per cent, compound interest on the investment. D. F.
