ROAD WORK.
Some Important Changes Near The
New Jones Bridge.
The completion of Jones’ Bridge is
not the onlj improvement which the
•Ounty commissioners have planned for
•hat vicinity. The importance of the
new bridge can hardly be overestimated.
It is abont three times ss long ait the
old bridge.
The approach leaches oat as far as
the old small bridge over the lagoon on
this tide, and takes the place of that
bridge. The span arches high above
the river bed. At present a tiny stream
trickles along through the white sand
and the observer almost needs a magni
fying glass to discern the Ohclockonee.
8iuce the dry weather the river hss net
been nearly so big as its uume. The
co nmissioners are wi.-to men however
They have revised the old proverb. “In
time of peace prepare for war,” and
made it read “In time of droaght. pre
pare for flood*.’’ They have guarded in
every way known to the rciereo of the
bridge builder against the iupetition of
last fall's disastrous occurence.*.
It is on the other side of the river
however that the most important road
improvements are being made. The
turn of tho channel is such that the Wa
ter has hacked up, and over-flowed the
Cairo road whenever more than the us
ual volume of water was flowing. This
has made the road impassable and the
bridge inaccessible to people from the
thrifty syrup city and its vicinity.
To prevent tills' the road is being
turnpiked, and a 30 foot bridge over tiie
lagoon will be built so that travelers
may at all times reach the bridge dry
shod.
These are not all the plans tliat the
county commissioners have in store for
the convenience and comfort of the
people. When the convicts are put on
the roads, results that will surprise the
most optimistic will follow.
TEACHERS ELECTED.
Every Lady Taaehar In Public Schools
Re-elected.
The city Board of Education met late
Saturday afternoon and the air was
full of expectancy. It was thought for
a time that the successor of Superinten
dent WardUw might be chosen, but it
was decided to put off until a later date
the choice of all the mi^e members of
the faculty.
All of the lady teachers were unani
mously re-elected. These teachers
with their grades are as fallows: ’ ,
First Grade A.—Miss Ida Tdmlinson.
First Grade B.—Miss Elise Fulghum.
Second Grade—Miss Etna Peacock.
Tliird Grade—Miss Ruby Ball.
Fourth Grade A.—Misa Louise Slater.
# Fourth Grade B —Mrs. Arthur Pat
ten. •
Fifth Grade—Miss Louise Hayes.
Sixth Grade—Miss Rena Brandon.
Seventh Grade—Miss Sallie Baker.
Music—Miss Sara Yeagley.
Supernumerary—Miss Lucy Parker.
There is hardly a better faculty than
this to be found in all Georgia, and the
action of the school board in re-electing
them as a body will meet with the
hearty approbation of the patrons of
the school and the general irablic.
Every teacher is an expert in her de
partment- and knows how to do her
work as well as how it ought to be
dono.
The entire faculty of the colored
schools was re-elected. They have given
thoroug h satisfaction and no question
was raised as to their re-election. H.
H. Thweatt is Principal and S. S.
Broadnax and Kittie Mitchell teachers.

40* PER CENT. GUARANTEED DIVIDEND POLICY.
20 Payment Life—20 Year Accumulation.
Amount $i0,000—Age 30—Premium $327.10.
Total Payments for 20 years, should the insured live so long, $67,542.
J-
A dividend addition of $130.84 will be added to the original amount of the policy each year,
payable if death occurs during the accumulation period. To make this plainer still, if the death
of the insured should occur at any time, from the first to the twentieth year, the face of the policy
$11,010, together with forty per cent, ot all premiums paid, will be paid the beneficiary. This
would make the ACTUAL COST of the protection to be only sixty per cent, of the premiums
paid. A man can buy $1,0M of this insurance as cheap as the man who buys $11,OH.
The COST is LESS for YOUNGER men and MORE for OLDER men.
Take this policy now, and its offerings. Compare with your own Twenty Payment
Life policies, (unless you have this kind), and see the difference. Compare it also with
what others are offering you. Most men who have bought Twenty Payment Life policies
within the last year or two are paying a LARGER premium than is charged for this policy
besides, they are only insured for twenty years for the FACE of the policies, $10,000, and no
additions. Are you one of them? Ask yourself that question. It is as much to YOUR
interest to save the dollars as it is to any one’s. We do that for you.
This is only one of the good things about this policy.
If the insured is LIVING at the end of the accumulation period, twenty' years,
he will have Six Very Choice Options to Select From.
If you care to know what these are, or if you want to know just what one^ of these
policies will cost you, and the benefits thereon, call on, or write to the undersigned, giving^
age and amount of insurance wanted. You shall have the information for the asking.
