ho wan a "Union nmn," but ho will bo
grutofuffy remembered by many a

just put forth a volume, which closes

The Augusta Chronicle Bays: "Tho

i-ovcn hundred thousand dollars of

engine houses and other property,
which in valued ul throo hundred thou
sand more—making a total i f about
two millions of dollars. Tho digest of
tuxablo property, according to recent
statements, amounts to moro than
i oventeou millions. Wo fool confident
that tho payiuout tho debt of
the city of Augusta is moro
fully scoured and her bonds offer a
ado and perimiuont investment for
capitalists. They have brought and
are bringing now a good price in tho

During a single day lust week
eight and a half tons of lino silver
burs wore shipped to Philadelphia
from tho New Essay oflico. Tho quan
tity stated iu tons sounds onoimous,
but when tho vuluo is given at only
$300,000, tho fact seams rearooly
worthy of remark. A ton of stnudard
gold is worth $512,000, but of silver
iho trilling sum of $35,000. It is sur
mised that tho design is to usq this'
silver iu tho redemption of tho ten
c ut fractional currcucy, as tho first
step toward specie payment when tho

The Baptist Btato Convention was j
licit] in Millcdgevillo last week. Tho
most important measuro discussed on |
tho 23d was the establishment and
endowment of a Female University.
Tho following in the report of tho
commit too on Tompornneo, of which
Rev. L. It. Gwaltnoy, is chairman :
At yourlual mooting Iho committee
on Tomparnneo reported ten tkou-
onnd workers and hubsloutia) progress
of Iho tempi rtmeo work in tho Btato
of Georgia. Binco thon ten thousand
moro bavojoined tho ranks. Many
commuuitieH have been rid of the
liquor trade; many others lmvo large
ly abated tho evil. Numerous peti
tions to tho Uonorul Assembly, pray
ing for local option laws, indicate tho
seutimonts of tho people. No previ
ous General Assembly was over so
favorable to such legislation. Our
principles and aims nro less tho sub
ject of ridicule, moro tho subject of
thoughtful inquiry, even on tho part
of those who soli and those who drink
ardent spirits. Many Christian min
isters who once opposed, now warmly
advocate the tcraperai.ee reform.
These indications show u gratifying
ndvanco. Wo thank God! and wo
thank tho noble men and women who
have prayed, woikod and sacrificed to
accomplish this advance.
Gould wo bring it into your pres
ence, every father, mother and sistor,
where lours have bun stayed, whoso
hearts lmvo been comforted, whoso
hearts huvo boon brightened ami
blessed, you would all join in the fer
vent oveluinutiuu—Thank God for
these results.
Much remains to ho dono! Wo
ndvanco to future (/Torts with faith
and hope. Wo need the moial and
active support of all good men. We
believe that all ministers of Jesus
should 'preach lempcrupeo Mormons;
flint all churches should firmly but
kindly difcipjine those who noil or
drink ardent spirits as a bovorogo,
nud that all Christians should practice
total nbfctcucnco us Hie best means of
silling others.
Wo entreat, all to work with zeal in
this cause, until by the power of pul-
lie scutimont and social inlluonco wo
make the liquor Irnlllo a thing to bo
condemned, shunned, abhorred, loath
ed, and until wo rescue our sons and
daughters from u full more Lo be
dreaded than the grave, for tho gravo
is a sweet refuge in comparison with
u druukard's wife.
D J. J. Hickman was thon intro
duced to Iho convention and made one
of tho finest efforts of his life in advo

.The Important Subject
Of Lifo Insnarnco is gradually and
deservedly gaining public attention by
tho force of its own merits. The time
is not far distant when tho death of a
man leaving his family unprovided
for by a policy of Lifo Assurance, will
Pave tho stain of neglected duty upon
his character. It is a duty which ev
ery ouo owes to his own dependents
ami to tho community. Ho ivho neg
lects it is not a good husband, father
or citizen. IIo has no right even to
risk tho chance of throwing tho future
support of his famiiy, iu ease of his
death, on the community at largo, or
on relatives and friends, when it is in
his power so easily to provide against
such contingencies.
The Mobile Life
Issues policies on all tbo approved
plaus of Inburauce.
In tho middle rands of lifo few have
much capital to leuio for tho 1>* nelit
of their families, iu tho event of their
early decease, but most have incomes.
By devoting a portion of the lalt( r in
tile way of Life Assuranco, tho head
of a family can tnako sure that, die
when ho may, oven on tho day after
the first annual payment, Ins widow
and children will bo endowed with a
certain r.mount of money.
Take an Endowment Policy,
and thus provide for your family
tho event of early death, nml for your
own old ago, should you livo out '.ho
stipulated time.
Ouo ought to bo satisfied if ho gets,
at the end of twenty years, all tho
money ho hns invented, with moro than
coven per cent, interest, and lma had

amount of tho policy would at once

'I am satisfied," said General Do
born, “that among ouo hundred mer
chants und traders, not moro than
threo over acquire independence.’’
Every IYIerolin.iit
Should tako un Endowment Policy or
Limited Payment Policy in tho
MOBILE LIFE.
A girl of seventeen, in Schoharie,
N. Y., was asked, a few days ago, by
a smart young man who lmd no means
but hie salary, to become his spouse.
"Is your lifo insured?” asked she.
"No," said tho swain. ‘ Then you
must have it insured, fur I'm not go
ing to marry you and have you dio
and leave mo to beg for a living.”
The Life Endowment
By which a Gash Endowment cm
be secured during lifo, at lifo rates of
premium, is a special feature of tho
Mobile Lifo
for ■'sroTJisra- TMinsr
Pooplo sometimes object that they
cannot "afford” to assure. Such an
urgumodt should rather teach a man
tho imperative necessity for assueing
at once. If he fools so much dilVeulty
in withdrawing such a trifle of his in
come, let him reflect on tho flightful
condition into which his death would
pluugo his family.
Iusuro in tho Mobile Lifo at once.
To-morrow is not your own. Delays
breed remorse. Hoiv many estates
have been sacrificed and families left
penniless, because tho father put off
insuring till a more convenient season,
till he was better able.
