than at this time; that the people are generally
hopeful of a good crop.
Politics have quieted down since the conven-

of his state, was the choice of the large majority
of the people there. They had hoped to win vic

Alabama saw fit to nominate Seay, they will, like
good citizens, yield their preference and go to
work to do their part in the election of Seay,
knowing that he will ably serve the state as her

A Profitnbli* Investment.
Hon. J. H. Stead, State Senator in Colorado, 1
writes: “Thirty years ago I took a policy in the
Mutual Life for $1,000, annual payments $22.08.
which I paid : or 20 years, making $465. For the
last ten years the premium has been paid by the
dividends. In other words, I have not paid any
thing for ten years I am now informed from the
general office of the Company that my policy is
worth $1,800. Had I continued to pay the pre
miums in cash, as 1 should have done, the policy
would be worth $2,300 to $2,400. But 1 have se
cured $1,800 for my family by an investment of
$465, which is an excellent showing. I recom
mend Life Insurance because I believe in it, and
believe in the Mutual Life Policies.
Yours truly, J. H. Stead.
