WHY W ILL YE 3>2E »
A ND leave unprovided for wife, child or
friend, when a trifling surn paid, either
annually or quarterly, will secure for thorn a
heme and comforts of life. The Georgia Home
Life Insurance Company offers inducements
superior to any life insurance company pre
sented before this community. Iiiburanoe may
be had for one year or for life. The life of a
debtor m&j be assured for the benefit of bio
creditors. A man can assure his own life so as
to secure the benefit of the Assurance himself
on attaining a certain age, vhiio if he dio be
fore, the sum assured is paid to his represen
tatives. “1 cannot afford it.” Three cents aday
will assure $500 to a ptrsoa twenty-eight years
old, and a youngeY person need pay still less.
Is not the question, rather, can you, consider
ing your family, afford to die unassured.
Policies in Northern Companies can be
transferred to this Company on liberal terms,
and with little trouble.
For full information and life inrurance,
apply to. SAM’fc SMITH. Agent,

T HE HOSPITAL AID SOCIETY OF BT.
PHILIP'S CHURCH, Atlanta, Ga., waa
organized soon after the commencement of
active hostilities, and has been industriously
but quietly laboring in its patriotic work ever
since. Atlanta having been constituted by
the authorities a principal station for Hospi
tal work, ws feel constrained to call upon our
Southern brethren to come to our help. There
are some 3,000 sick soldiers here now, hailing
from every part of the Confederacy, and the
number is likely to be largely increased.
We appeal to our fellow-patriots to send ub
anything they can spare that would be useful
for the sick and suffering. A earefui and just
distribution will be made of all that wo re-
eeive.
They who prefer to make use of our Society
as the Almoner of their contributions, will
please addrsss their packages to either of the
undersigned.
