C. Immediate Settlement After Proof of

That old-line insurance costs too much is
evidenced by the fact that companies ad¬
vertise to the world the payment of all
claims from Interest earnings alone.
That purely assessment ms urauce is un
certain is shown by the indeflnlteness of
tho contract.
While the people demand low premiums
they demand a definiteness In contract.
Both these demands ore met in the
plans of the Ambbican Likk-Anncity
The premiums sregraded according to
age, and the promise to pay is plain and
unequivocal and definite. ,
Premiums cease otter twenty ( 20 ) annual
payments have lieen 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 aa annual pre
miums have been mode.
If desired, any time after five (5) years
the assured may borrow from the Com
pany such sum of money as is designated
in the table of Loan Values written In the
l>ond, depositing the bond with the Com
. pany as a collateral.
Should death occur during the first
twenty (30) year, of membership, the
amount of the face of the bond is paid to
the designated beneficiary in fall and im
“S^hboud i. attached ten (10) cou
pone, each calling for payment of one
tenth (1-10) of the face of the bond, the first
all bav* been paid, the bond being sur¬
rendered with the last coupon.
Death previous to twenty (20) years
from date ot bond matures it for the full
•mount named in its face.
Death occurring any time after twenty
(20) years from date of bond matures the
remaining coupons, which will be im¬
mediately paid to the designated bene¬
ficiary.
Thus the member himself, if living at
the end of twenty (20) years, will receive
one-t«nth (1-10) of his bond, and a tenth
annually thereafter until all the coupons
bars been paid.
Not only enn one thus provide for the
fnmiiy during the period when death
would be moat severe to its members, but
he can provide n certainty each year (or a
number of yearn, when the period of active

ty of Habersham.
She Went to the “Tackie Party.”
Mistur Editur: i lowed to writ
you a letter an tell you about a
powerful fine gathering some of
we’uns bad last Thursday nite over

fust i knowed of it wuz when i

Wall mistur editur i wuz power¬
ful glad ter git some whar for en
durin pf the snow i haint ben no
whas but to home, so i sed to my¬
self, sez i, “Sary Ann thars no
use ter say you ain’t er gwine ; fer

kins drap me a line ter say if i
hadn’t no jeetions he wud go er

how it wouldn’t do ter dispint him,
so j W rit a letter an told him tur

city cbl4 p 8 may take a likin ter
you.” ,, r, bo put green call-
1 on my
ker Sunday frock and my yallar
bask( and wore a little striped
» b “'vl; i had u hut from Atlunty
for the casiou, it wuz a cream
turned up in front, and
;
with red und black feathers, an
red, yallar and purple flowers, and
a. hull passel of ribbons. Mar
said she jist knowed that wuz one
of them puttened hats like them
sprise sto folks allays have in
town, for - she’d never seed any
alike it afore. Wall, I wuz pow¬
erfully satisfied with my looks that
nite, for i shore looked pretty; i
have seed ther gals curl ther hair
with some kind of a machine, but
as i didn’t have none i took ou£ fire
tongs an het them red rot,' and
they answered jist as well—-with
the ception now and then swingein
my hair and hands. Arter fixin
my' hair i then got some flour and
kivered it all over my face till i
wuz as tnars best white chany
company dish. Then i tied a
string of green heeds on my neck.
Our flowers wuz not a bloomin ;
least ways if they wuz the snow
had done krvered them up, so i
took the red and yallar flowars
from off’en mars go-ter-meetin
bunnit and sowed them on to my
bask, i tuk my hand satchel an
palm leef tan, and when me ar.
cap’n Perkins got ter dofs we wuz
skeered of the dog, so we let in
ter hollering “hello,” an less an a
minit the door wuz opened and we
wuz axed ter come in an take
cheers, which we wuz powerful
glad ter do arter our long tramp
through the snow.
Wall all the gals had got thar,
an i seed everyone look powerfully
hard at me when i went in ther
room, you know, mister editur,
them gals were jillous of me, for
they knowed well enuff they’d
have no showin with them Airs¬
ville chaps when i got thar, but»
his ted my bead and went crlong as
& * hadn’t knowed era. Thar wuz
all ther gang er sottin eround tber

and the tndisposishun of tbe weath¬

something ter say •> i couldn’t talk
fer lookin eround the room at all
the new fangled notions. Why
never seed sich a pretty house
afore; i don’t think mister
son had ernuff of plastering
finish his settin room an the
one jinidg it, for thars a hull side
of the room gone, but it wuz nice
that nite for we could sot in airy
room we chose : both of the rooms
had cookin stoves in them, an in
the front one wuz i reckon what
you’d call a pipe-orgin ; it wuz the
most curiest machine i ever seed.
AH ther gals lowed they wanted
“Sary Ann” ter play a little tune
fer them, so i riz an t^ent to the
orgin ; they have a sofyjjer you to
sot on when you are playing, an i
found out by usin the treddles all
at wunst i could make the keys
sound; it makes powerful pretty
musuk. Some of ther gals sung a
few instroomentel pieces an the
fellars showed there raisins by
standin eround with their mouths
wide open, as if they’d never
herd a orgin afore.
Ritc crlong uv that orgin wuz
the curiest thing i ever seed, it
was a great long pole with a ker
rysene lamb at the top—i recken
sumbody had to climb it to lite the
lamp, mister matherson must have
thought that it wuz er gwinc to
rain fer he hud an umb.ella lusted
over it. In the tollier room they
had er mighty purty buro with
whole lot uv china cups and sosus
hangin on it, but haint time to tell
you eny more erbout the Mouse, fur
you’ll want to know who wuz there
The meetin wus got up in dedica-

How many of us Protestants
that there is no authority in
the Bible, and therefore to us none
any where else, for keeping holy
Sunday (the sun’s day) instead of
Saturday? There is a current no¬
tion that Christ and his apostles
authoratively substituted the first
day of the week for the seventh,
but, says Lyman Abbott* “it is
absolutely without any authority
in the New Testament;” and Sir
William Domville s^ys: “Centu
ries of the Christian era passed
away before the Sunday was ob¬
served as the Sabbath. History
does not furnish us with a single
proof or indication that it was so
observed at any time previous to
the Sabbatical edict of Constan*
tine in A. D. 321.”
So, by keeping the first day of
the week instead of the seventh as
God’s day, protestams acknowl
edge the power of the Pupish
church to ordain feasts and tocom
mand ttnto sin. Papacy boldly flc
knowledges that it alone is respon
sible for the change,
Duriug Constantine’s reign,
Sylvestus, bishop of Rome, by his
“apostolic” authority and with the
approval of Constantine, changed
all tbe 0 f tbe week i nto feg ta i
da yg t retaining the names of the
days familiar to the Hebrews, ex¬
cept the first day of the week
which he changed and called the
Lord’s day.
At the convention of the council of
Nice, called together by Emperor
Constantine, A. D. 325, the ques
tion relating to the observance of
Easter, which had been agitated in
^ ^ of AnicRu* and.
wa#decidedt being fixed on the
g unda y j mmed iately following the

Women, I believe the majority
of them who think, not content
with being the “superior” of man
in qualities of soul and mind, are
anxious to be emancipated that
they may be considered the
“equals” of the sterner sex, and
propose to him if she likes. One
author (a man) much interested in
the subject, declares that it is not
suffrage which woman wants to
emancipate her, but the right re¬
ferred to above. She is tired of
the humiliation of resorting to all
these feminine wiles to make man
propose when she should have the
right to take a straight-forward
course in the matter as he does.
I rather think myself that she is
lonely in the rarified atmosphere
where she has been dwelling for
some fifteen hundred years, and
her advance guard, the W. C. T.
U., is bending all its energies to¬
ward making the descent which
will put heron the plane with men,
where she can take part in the ac¬
tive affairs of the human race. She
is weary of being deified, and of
dictating from behind the throne.
!$0*r if she, as a sex, could train
herself to mingle the' spirit of man
with her own womanliness with¬
out sacrificing any of the latter, as
Miss Frances Willard has done,
man would gladly help her down
from the pedestal which the ha*
occupied so long; but unfortu
nately at the present there i* not
one woman in five hundred who
could carry her womanly greatness
into man’s sphere as this, the
greatest woman of the century, has
done.

We are very likely in seeking
to look for
■ the rrett, rich, mi-
.
tious circumstance or by birth, but
in the very humblest wslks of life
there are women with the courage
of Alexander and Napoleon, with¬
out their ambition, and with the
maguanimity which comes only
from living the self-sacrificing and
hard, but beautiful life which
Christ set as an example for his
followers.
In our town, for instance, there
lives a little pale, delicate woman,
who has supported her invalid
husband and several little children
for years by doing a class of work
which is of the hardest nature and
pays the least, because she was
not fitted by education and other
advantages for a more profitable
kind.
This poor little woman was
barely able to eke out an existence
during some of the cold weather of
which wo have had so much this
winter, and during one whole
week she lived upon dry bread
herself that she might give her
husband the small quantity of tea
which was the only accompaniment
in her house for the bread. He of
course did not know of her sacri¬
fice for him. Besides a sick hus¬
band, this woman has a little baby
boy only three months old and
other children too small to help
her make bread, yet she is hopeful,
cheerful, and so in love with her
husband that she is glad to make
any sacrifice for him, and to work
continually if she can only find
something to do,
Were Mrs. Grover Cleveland,
who gains most of her importance
from her husband’s position, to
come to Toccoa, every one would
ge ek her, and feel honored to grasp
her band; but we could not bring
greater honor upon ourselves, I
think, than by seeking out and
Ue^'T-Soerend Si
work for the humble and good wo
man of whose life you have an
The good people of Toccoa have
done much toward the comfort of
the needy during the cold weather
last week, and these little kind¬
nesses, though not meaning but
little to those who did them, have
probably saved a few poor women
and children from freezing.
