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 condition of the federal treasury war rants.

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.

D J. J. Hickman was thon intro duced to Iho convention and made one of tho finest efforts of his life in advo cating the teiuperunco cause.

Mr. Oliver received a gash in tho head with a brick. A considera ble crowd was present, but no olso injured. The difficulty occurred in tho business part of town. Tho affair is deeply lamented by tho citi zens and community.

Paid iu tho last three years lo Wid ows and Orphuus. .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 tho iiBsurnnco, all through thoso twen ty years that, in ctiso ho died, tho full amount of tho policy would at once ho puyablo to iho boneliciary under tho Kimiu.

'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.
