to transact the most difficult business, and

PROTECTION FROM FIRE.
In the line of Fire Insurance, Mr. Morton
represents several of the strongest com
panies. in the world, whose very names
carry with them the confidence of the
business world.
He has six Fire Insnrsme Companies
three of which are Hew York companies.
These three ate among tbe strongest com
panies in tbe insurance world, and do an
immense amount of business. They are
tbe Greenwich Fire Insurance Company,
of New York, the New York Underwriters
Agency and the Glens Falls Fire Insurance
Company, of GIcds Falls, New York.
Besides these Mr. Morton represents tbe
National Fire Insurance Company, of
Hartford, Conn., one of tue strongest insti
tutions of America,the Western Assuraice
Company, of ffiprnlo,Canada, which docs a
large business in the United States; aid
the Caledonian Insurance Company, of
Scottland, one of the Old World’s oldest
and most reliable institutions.
Every man who owns property should
carry insurance upon it, and if he wants
safe and reliable insurance, there is no bet
ter place in Athens to secure it than at tbe
efflee of Mr. F. S, Morton.
INSURE YOUR LIVES.
There are numberless Life Insurance
Companies doing business all over the
country, and the plans and methods of
work are various. But of all the com
panies, none is more reliable or simple
than the Northwestern Life Insurance
Company, Milwaukee. The reputation of
this company is well known in Athens,
bcores of her citizens bolding policies in it-
The policies it issues are simple ones,
without complications, the guaranty of
each, pulicy is plain, and the reliability of
the company is unquestioned. Several
death payments have been made in
Athens by this company and all who bold
policies in it can testify to the promptness
and efficiency of the company.
ACCIDENT INSURANCE.
Mr. Morton carries the agencies of the
American Accident Company, of Louis
ville; the Lloyd's Piate Glass Insurance
Company; the 8 »uthern Live Stock lueu-
rance Company, and the Glens Falls an
Western. Tornado Insurance Companies
These companies cover accidents of
kinds to person and property and a P°* ,c *

A Critic on Klulng.
Kissing is a good thing, btifc we have
entirely too much of it here in America,
at least in pnblic. It i3 a sacred rite that :
should not be performed before a mixed
audience. If a man were parting from,
his wife, mother or sister fprweeks or
months he might be excused for kissing
them on tbe depot platform or in the
cars, but I should prefer to_ attend to
that ceremony before leaving tbe house.
Tbe fights and sounds on every depot
platform ure enough to give a sensitive
person a teevero attack of nausea. I have
po objection to women kissing each
other on the street if they enjoy the di
version. .•
It is always understood that they do
not mean it. It is a mere formality and
keeps them in practice. I once attended
a church festival where there was a kiss
ing booth. A bevy of pretty girls sold
their osculatory favors for twenty-five
| cents each “for the good of the cause.”

the market for disposal at those fl-.uie*. I
Continuing at this rate of increase, it will I
not be many years before the stock o this I
bank will be at 140 or 150. It is sough I
as an investment of safety and benefit i< I
the investor.
One of the best features of this bade is I
the collecting department, which his in-1
creased in business wonderfully a id. is J
now as fine as that of any bank i i tie I
city.
In the matter of deposits, it can be said I
that the Exchange Bank is doing a pin-1
nomenal business. Since November l»t
of this year the deposits have' increas -<i
twenty per cent over the total amount for
the entire two years of the bank’s ex
istence.
The Exchange Bank has Beventy-d<<
stockholders, nearly all of them citizens
or Athens, and the property holding of
these stockholders amount tosucb'a sum I
as to render it an exceedingly strong in
stitution. ^
The Exchange Bank is located in the
corner of the Y. M. 0. A. building, -corner
Lumpkin and Clayton streets, and is ele
gantly fitted up.
Capt. McMahan, Mr. Benedict and Mr.
Barrow, give their closest supervision and ]
attention to all the business transacted by I
the bank,' and the people of Athens always |
find it pleasant to transact business with
them.
