THE FIRST 8TICKLER.
The Eplnz was propounding 1

“How Is it that every man says
his business 'is the first to be hit by
hard times?”
One thousand dollars has been paid
to the beneficiary of the late John
W. Anthony, of High Shoals, by the
secretary and treasurer of the Clarke
County Division of the Mutual Indus
trial Association of Georgia..
The Clarke county division was or
ganized nearly eight years ago. Mr.
Anthony held policy No. 370. It cost
him an average of less than $7 a
year, the total cost being $51. for
which he provided one thousand dol
lars for his widow. Tills sum hat
been paid over by the Clarke county
division.
The Clarke county division has paid
to beneficiaries of deceased members
over forty-two thousand dollars. This
enormous amount was collected and
left at home.
When the Clarke county division
was first organized the only objec
tion competitive companies could find
was that it would not last It was
declared that the members would not
l>ay their assessments, which was ah
insult to the members and a thing that
time only could explode.
In laying $1,000 to the widow and
orphans of this deceased member It
lias been demonstrated first that the
members are loyal and appreciate a
good Insurance company, wnen t>,
so doing they can relievo a depen
dent neighbor's widow and orphans;
second, tills plan of insurance will last.
Ah-ut the second division or
ganized. the Laurens county division,
has had fourteen deaths, and
has paid out fourteen thousand dollars
to its beneficiaries, or one thousafid
dollars to each beneficiary.
If you are under fifty years of age
and can stand an acceptable medical
examination, the company will take
your application and when there is
<a vacancy in the Clarke county divi
sion will issue you a policy. Or If
you prefer, the company can issue
you a policy in ttoe Athens division
which has a membership of about
eight hundred.
For any information phone No. 61,
or write to the company.
The first basket ball tournament ot
the season will lie pulled off at tne
M. C. A. Monday evening, Decem
ber itili. at S:30 o'clock. The teams
will line up the strongest University
players of the big squad, while CapL
Roy Finch, of the city team, will try
to outpoint the University team. Those
representing the Red and Black out
weigh and outmeasure the Athenians,
but lack in the speed necessary to
frighten the wearers of the Orange
and Purple. No doubt, a large crowd
will be out to this game as basket
ball is growing in popularity every
season, and the game Monday will lie
hotly contested.
