Ills Capital |
SHARES $200.00 t
Recently the Guaranty Mutual Life and Health Insur- ?
ance Company sued out papers for the purpose to increase Y
its Capital stock from $25,000 to SIOO,OOO. It sought fur- Y
ther in the application the right to engage in the life insur- J
ance business as an old line Company. J
x The prayers of the Company were granted and the Guar- $
x anty Mutual Life and Health Insurance Company by the J
| . grant became the GUARANTY LIFE INSURANCE COM- ♦
T PANY with all the rights and immunities of the other big J
y Corporations. J
Y After the legal phrases of the situation were cleared a- J
Y way, the Guaranty Life Insurance Company placed upon J
1* the market the SIOO,OOO worth of stock at the phenominally ?
low rate of $200.00 per share. This stock is now open to the J
public and agents all over the state will take the Certificates t
to the very doors of prospective buyers. J
J The Guaranty Life insurance Company, by virture of J
the existence and splendid accomplishments of the Guaran- t
ty Mutual and Health Insurance Company, will be no x
strange constellation of insurance firmament. The estab- x
1., lished reputation of the former will impotus to the latter, I
and it is reasonably expected that the stocks of the Guaran- ♦
ty Life will ‘‘go easily’’ because of the enviable reputation ♦
of its predecessor. . ' ♦
The officers and directors and stockholders of the old Y
Company form the basic actors of the new Company. They *
Will put imto the new company all of the vim and vigor u- 2
tilized in the interest of the old plus additional effort of T
new factors injected for the purpose to accelerate the up- y
ward trend. X
I The Guaranty Life Insurance Co. realizes that this is a S
day big things and that still bigger things are peeping J
over the horizo iof material progress. It is keeping,watch
upon the “last” in order to catch first indications of new t
i 1 *aj and to hasten the co ning by lifting before their sight *

East Athens School
Genteel, Well Governed
Needs Chapel
Some months ago the spectator visit
ed a schobi in a Georgia city that boasts
much of its location and its name. The
building coutained about six rooms, four
on’the first floor. The second floor, un
finished and unimproved, was used for
public exercises, a part of it having a
semi-partition across it and was used,
the spectator was informed, by certain
fraternities. Classes were heard in three
of the rooms on the first floor, the fourth
room being used for a coal house and
for rubbish. Had the spectator been a
ble to borrow the authority of the May.
or he would have marched this young
principal (a college bred man Ito the
city, made him purchase a pair of
overalls and a broom (for the entire
building was dirty) aud play Janitor for
a while, removing this coal also into a
piano box. “Like priests; like people.”
The Negro business places in this town
were the filthiest that the spectator had
ever seen. t
In stricking contrast with the misera
ble situation describe d above, the spec
tator left off his works a few days ago
and made bis first 'visit for the year at
at the Hast Athens School, an institu
tion whoses government and the deport
ment of its pupils would inspire the
most satiated misanthrope. This
school iskept as genteelly as the Massa
chusetts state house. The pictures on
the walls are well chosen and are syste
matically and symmetrically arranged.
The work done by the pupils indicates
that a set of people are teaching them
who “know how” and are mindful of in
novacatious. The ringing of the bell is
thoroughly understood by every child
and is instantly heeded. Thus is the
day of orderly sequence begun which is
to be seen in the crowded chapel, in
each class rooms, and which does not
vanish until after the dismissal of the
night school when it is no longer neces
sary.
The school is in great need of chapel:
it should have one with a seating capa
city for quite a thousand people. Some
of the little folks not having seats when
