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. SENATOR QUAY OEAD.

Illustration of the New 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. Agents Wanted—Best^ontract. DAVID C. BARROW, General Agent, v For Southern Georgia, Thomasville) Ga. J HULL-WYLLY.
