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.

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.” A woman cannot be too chary of ber How a mat- aside a surplus each year, sand dollars or surplus has already beta I laid aside in the two years since itau-j tablishmenL Tbe stock of the Exchange Baik !a already over 106, and no stock is n >w on I the market for disposal at those fl-.uie*.

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.
