VOL. 111. INSURANCE TALK. NO NEED TO DIE TO WIN W. A. Fowler, Agent for Haber sham, Hart and Franklin Counties. Agents Wanted. 1. Paid-np Value* After Three Year*. 2 Loans Made Alter Five Years. . 3. Premium Reduction After Ten Years. 4. Annuities Paid After Twenty Years. 5 AU Claims Guaranteed in Full. . C. Immediate Settlement After Proof of Death. 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 business has passed.

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.

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.

"J ' * 7 u . r By the * * ^ Wayside 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 n<jw mOQn which wag ncaregt after the vernal equinox. _ The t custom of , the , Jews was to celebrate Easter on the fourteenth ( • • day of the moon whether follow¬ ing on Sunday or not. *** 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.
