That insurance coats too much is
evidenced by the fact that companies ad

claims from interest earnings alone.
Thai purely assessment m#u ranee is un

the contract.
While the peoplo demand low premiums
they demand a definiteness in contract.
Both these demands are met in the
plane of the American Lirn-AxiuiiTT
Comfort.
The premiums are graded according to
age, and the promise to pay is plain and
uneouivocal and definite.
Prctanun* cease alter twenty fJO) annual
payments have been made to the Company.
If desired, any. time after three (3) years
bond may be surrendered for 'a paid-up
bond of as many twentieths as annual pre¬
miums have been made.
If desired, any time after five (5) year#
the assured may borrow from the Com¬
pany such sum of money as is designated
in the table of Loan Values written in the
bond, depositing the bond with the Com¬
pany as a collateral.
Should death oecur during the first
twenty (20) years of membership, the
amount of the face of the bond is paid to
the designated beneficiary in full and im¬
mediately.
To each bond is attached ten (IQ) cou¬
pons, each calling for payment of one
tenth (1-10) of the face of the bond, the first
maturing twenty (20) yoaxafeom date
of bond, and one annually thereafter until
all have been paid, the bond being sur¬
rendered with the last coupon.
Death previous to twenty (20) years
from date of bond matures it for the full
amount named in its face.
Death occurring any time after twouty
(20) years from date of bond matures the
remaining coupons, which will bo im¬
mediately paid to the designated bene¬
ficiary.
Thus the member himself, if living at
the end of twenty (20) years, will receive
one-tenth (1-10) of his bond, nnd n tenth
annually thereafter until all the coupons
have bees paid.
Not only can one thus provide for the
family during the. period when death
would be moat severe to its members, but
he can provide a certainty each year for a
number of years, when the period of active
business has passed.

TMfi COTTON P|
fiathsrd, Price & Co’s., Cottoa CirauaOf.
!fsw York, Jan. 14. —Although
the market has improved slightly
during the past week, it has not
gained in activity, and the support
which has brought about this slight
improvement has come from Man¬
chester where business appears to
he active under the demand from
South America and the East. The
returns which w<fe furnished by
the English Board of Trade as to
the exports of cotton goods from
Great Britain for the year ending
the first of Januafy are remarkable
in showing that during the past
season, the exports of yarns and
cloths together exceed the exports
of any previous year. During 1890,
under the influence of a short crop
of cotton, and an advance in the
price of silvery which was supposed
to stimulate activity in trade, the
exports were 6 per cent less than
they were during the past year.
When it is considered that trade
with the United Statet from Man¬
chester has been pratically on a
standstill, these, figures enable ua
to arrive at some idea of the enor¬
mous volume of trade in Manches¬
ter during the past season. One of
the greatest arguments in favor of
free silver as affecting the cotton
producer has been that it would
increase the trade with those por¬
tions of the world which are not
already upon a gold standard. But
the fact that the cotton manufac
turers of Europe are doing the lar¬
gest business on record, with stiver
below z8d., would seem to sustain
our idea that the price of silver
has absolutely nothing to do with
the volume of business in the other
portions of the world. If tnora
business can be done with silver at
a8d. and tha consumption of cotton
larger than, it ia with-attver at54d.,
it would seem that the question of
silver would cease to be a factor in
the cotton trade. In the meantime
we are facing a large movement of
the crop, which is certainly expect¬
ed to reach 9,500,000 bales, and
the market is sustained by tbe small
investment buyings which it con¬
tinually present and absorbs receipts
as they sppear. It had been ex¬
pected that the movement during
the month of January would com¬
pare so unfavorably with that of
the large crop year that it would
cause a decline in prices, but it has
not as yet brought about such a de¬
pression, and the trade, therefore,
are nonplussed at the failure of the
expected to occur. They now look
forward to a decline when receipts
fall off on the idea that the market,
having been sustained during the
time of heavy movement, will,
when the movementbecomes light,
liquidate at declining prices.
Preparations for the new crop haVe
dot yet commenced, but the ques¬
tion of acreage is now receiving
serious consideration throughout
the entire South, end it is believed
that the low price of cotton must
lead to a serious redaction through
the necessity of adopting some
other methods of cultivating targe
plantations. It is evident that at
these prices there is not a living to
be made from raising cotton,which
will support tha negro mid the
white man upon tha same land.
In other words, it is the land ques¬
tion of Ireland over again, namely,
that the land cannot pay a
at the same time support the la¬
borers. U those who own plant*
tions ore willing to work in the
fields themselves without paying
for labor, they undoubtedly could

plainer that the Southern planter
has the question of the value of his
crop entirely within his own con¬
trol. A moderate crop of cotton
this year would advance the price
materially, as consumption ha6
certainly risen to eight and a half
million bales of American cotton
and has driven the Indian cotton
from the field. A reduction in
acreage is, in our opinion, there¬
fore, certain. Its extent can only
be determined by the ability of the
Southern planter to borrow money.
What the effect of this reduction in
acreage will he upon prices is of
course as yet unknown. The ef¬
fect in the past has been to ma¬
terially advance the market.

Mr. A. A. Safford looks quite
lonesome since Mrs. Safford, moth¬
er of Mrs. W. A. Fowler, went to
Toccoa, to assist in arranging the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Fowler and

somest baby that has made its ap^
pearance in Habersham county in
the year 1894.
Permit me to call the attention
of the city fathers to the horrible
condition of the street crossings.
Would it not be : well for the city
marshal to take off his overcoat and
go to work and clean them off?
Also, would it not be a good idea
for the council to build a sidewalk
to the school house ? One of the
ladies of Demorest, while on her
way to a reception at Mrs. Fra
zelle’s,a few days ago, slipped and
fell, on coming down the hill, into
the mud and soiled her clothing.
She returned home without making
her appearance at the the recep¬
tion, disgusted with the mud,as she
should be.
Professor LaSalle has opened a
department of book-kAping in the

opportunity that is open to them
for preparing themselves for a bus¬
iness life.

to Atlanta last Thursday and there
met his affianced, Miss Melissa

It was a groat surprise and a joy to
