A
Queer
Law Case
The daily papers not long ago
reported a trial case where a man
sued a medicine concern which had
offered a hundred dollars for a
case their remedy could not cure.
It seems that the man had not
been cured, though he had taken
the remedy. The defence was
that he had not taken the medicine
long enough. He did not get his
hundred dollars.
We allude to this because Vinol
does not give a slippery guarantee.
We sell it on its merits and
leave it to the user. If the user
comes back with his empty bottle
and says : “ I took that bottle of
Vinol, and I can’t see that it did
me any good,” we don t argue
the matter. We say, or our clerk
says, “ Sorry that you happen to
be among the few here s your
dollar! ”
The few ! They are very few
less than one out of a hundred,
according to the experience.
Vinol is a scientific non-secret
compound of cod liver oil (greatest
medicinal food known), organic
iron (iron that can be taken up into
the blood and used), and a mild
table wine. It is pleasant to take.
Our Vinlax, for constipation, is
Vinol’s companion remedy, sold on
the same guarantee. _

Enterprise That Will Employ
Better Grade of Help
THAN OF A COTTON FACTORY.
Cartersville Cannot Probably Sup
ply Demand and Others Will
be Induced Here-
The same business interests that
are back of the new cotton mill
enterprise vvhic 1 is going to be put
on its feet at once on the Akin
farm, have also secured an option
lon the old court house building in
this city, with the view of locating
in the building at an early date, a
line of business whicn will give
steady emplopment the vear
through to somewhere from 50 to
100 young ladies at good wages.
These young ladies will he employ
ed to operate Singer sewing
machines run by power. A gasoline
engine will be installed, large
enough to run 100 machines if
necessary, and to make the neces
sary electric lights for the build
ing-
This enterprise will be in fact a
feature of the cotton mill referred
to, for in the old court house
building the drills which will be
manufactured in the mill will be
cut and sewed to forms and in that
way snipped north to he further
com erted into manufactured goods.
It is doubtful if Cartersville will
be in position to furnish the re
quired number of young ladies for
this work, and consequently it may
be expected that, in due time,
young ladies will be invited to
come to Cartersville from the sur
rounding country. This will not
only increase the population, but
it will be a benefit to those who
will be willing to accept boarders.
It will mean a handsome little pay
roll for Cartersville every week,
which will be no doubt largely re
paid out to the merchants.

Cartersville Friends Will Attend
Marriage at LaCrange.
The Cartersville friends of Miss
Caroline Williams will read with
interest the following from the
Atlanta News, in regard to her ap

“The wedding of Miss Carrie
Williams and Capt. Charles T.

profusion.
“The attendants are Miss Hattie

Washington, I). C., brother of the
groom, will act as best man.
“The bridesmaids will be gown
ed in white chiffon with lace trim
mings, and carry Easter lillies, and
the single note of color will be in
the American beauty roses which
the maid of honor will carry.
“The bride’s gown is ot heavy
Dutchess satin, made en traine,
and rare lace will be used in the
trimmings. A quantity of hand
work is also used upon this gown.
Her tulle veil will be caught by
real orange blossoms, and she will
carry a bouquet of bride roses. Her
going away gown is a shirt waist
suit, made of heavy pongee silk,
with a long traveling coat made of
the same material.
On the evening before the wed
ding Mr. Tom Thornton entertains
at an elegant reception in compli
ment to Miss Williams and her
attendants, and about seventv-five
will be invited to meet the bridal
partv.
Miss Williams is one of the most
popular and prettiest young wo
men in the state, and her wedding
is of great interest to her many
friends who are her fond and true
admirers.
Captain Baker has been in the
United States army for many years,
and is a man greatly admired for
his sterling worth. For the past
few years he has seen active ser
vice in the Philippines. It is to
regretted that he and his bride will

“BUSH” FLEMINtf
Tribute to Young Man Who Lost
His Life In Collision at Csdartown.
The little town of Stilesboro is
very sad. Death’s destructive deal
has fallen again among the ranks
of the young, another soul has gone
to eterui.y, and the mangled body
of Oliver P. Fleming rests today
with those who have preceded it,
in the “silent city of the dead.”
On Saturday night, April ißthat
9:30 o’clock, it pleased Him who
“doeth all things well” to call
“Bush” to himself, not by wasting
and painful sickness, but by a hasty
summon. A noble boy is gone,
cut down in the bloom of early
youth, wrested from us in an unex
pected hour, led to an untimely
death. In manhood’s strength he
went, hastening to eternity’s shore
without a word of warnings He
lived two hours after the fatal
accident had occurred and was
conscious to the last. He talked
freely to the friends who were gath
ered around him, bidding them an
affectionate “goodbye,” and asked
them to meet him in heaven. He
was twenty-six years old, the pride
and joy of his family, genftv and
kind to every one, devoted to each
member of the family, and espec
ially to his mother and sisters, and
they loved him —yes, they loved
him! It was hard to give him up,
they will miss hitn so much. His
footsteps no more will be heard in
tbe home that he loved to visit; his
voice is silent forever; but God
doeth all things well; his will be
done. Free from care and trouble,
and temptation; living no doubt,
in a noble sphere of service, we
should feel that “Bush” tnough we
loved him well and wanted him to
stay, has exchanged his earthly
home for one brighter and better,
where he will wait for us till we are
called to go and be with him.
Noble boy, you left us when you
seemed to be dearest to us; you
were ever faithful good and true;
and you have now gone to your
reward. Rest sweetly till we meet
you in the “Sweet Bye and Bye,”
where all tears shall be wiped
away.
Weep not fond parents brothers and
sisters
For he sleeps and is at rest
And the couch whereon he lieth,
Is the green earth's quiet breast.
The angels have called him, our idol
ized one,
The earth life is ended the heaven
begun,
He livetr forever, to suffer no more,
Where joy triumphant and sorrow
is o’ei.
He lias crossed the dark river, he's
gained the bright strand.
Where waiting to greet him, the
beautiful stand;
On us fall the shadows, on him
beams the light.

The life insurance question is no,
longer whether a man should insure,
but simply the best company in which
to insure.
Life insurance business hasin our day
attained va>t proportions, and many
people who formerly gave but little heed
to the subject are now deeply interest- ;
ed.
Unfortunately with the march of
time the life insurance business has j
become very complicated and expen- ,
sive, and the average person oitlier has
not the money to pay the annual prem
iums, or has not the ability or time to ;
study out the plansof the average policy I
ottered by an insurance agent.
WHY CANNOT A NUMBER OF PEOBLK
BAND TOGETHER IN A COMMUNITY?
This is a natural question. Why can
not a number ol people in a community
band together, and at the death ol a
member, each member pay a certain
sum tbe beneficiary? The economy
of such a plan would be very great; tbe
money would be kept in ihecouimunitv
and insurance would pe reduced to a
minimum. This question which has
occurred to many a man has been com
nletely answered by the -Mutual Life
I insurance Association of Georgia. This
organization, chartered by the laws of
the state of Georgia, has been organiz
ing Lite Insurance divisions in this state
lor the last sixteen months, following
out the plans under successful opera
tion in the state of Pennsylvania and
several of the southern states.
THE PLAN
is the simplest and most natural. The
state is divided into a number of divis
ions, each division being made up of
one or more counties These divisions
aie each officered by the Pest men in
comities where the divisions are organ
ized, and the money with which to pay
the death claims is kept in trust by an

for Gordon County; M. D, Costephens, Director, Emerson. Judge G. \\. Hen
dricks, Secretary and Treasurer.
The cross of our anguish we wearily
bear,
We he • not the raptuous songs on
the air;
We see not the gleam of mystical star
Whose glory is shining on us from
afar.
We mourn for the presence that
cheers us no more,
We yearn for the accent whose
music is o’er,
But Oh! when the summons that
calls us shall come;
He will joyfully meet us and wel
come us home.

The plan originated in Philadelphia
twenty-two years ago and has been op
erated in Pennsylvania, Virginia and
North Carolina with success. The an
cient order ot Foresters established in
1835 is alive with a membership of 168,-
000 and an average death rate of 12.1 per
1.000 members. The objections to the
mutual or fraternal order of insurance
have long since been exploded and this
class of insurance is now regarded as
not only the cheapest but also as the sa
fest and most reliable. The only insti
tutions in any country, independent of
the state, that have attained the age of
one hundred years are fraternal or mu
tual orders.
THE RESULTS.
In sixteen months, without noise of
advertising, the Mutual Lite Insurance
Association of Georgia lias issued more
than eight thousand policies among the
best people in the state, and is repre
sented in forty-four counties, and appli
cations are coming in from all over the
state to organize more divisions,
INSURANCE AT COST.
That tbe Mutual Life Association o*
Georgia furnishes insurance at actual
cost is further evidenced by the fact
that a distinction-a slight one--is made
between the comity and citv divisions.
In the latter the actual expenses are ne
cessarily higher and tor that reason in
city divis ons an extra dollar is charged,
in each class for initiation lee in order,

Going to have your home painted this spring or
summer?
If you have been thinking on this line, come to
see us, for we want to explain how it will be to our
mutual advantage for you to buy your entire paint
bill from us. We have been selling E Hammar
Paint Co’s, paint tor several seasons and know it to
be the best on the market. It contains nothing but
pure paint pigments and pure linseed oil. Each gal
lon of our paint requires one gallon of linseed, oil.j
thus giving you two gallons of pure mixed paint for
the small sum of $1.20 per gallon.
We will take contract to furnish the painter and
material. Let us make you bid for complete guar
anteed job. We guarantee our paint for five years
and will refund in cash the entire cost, if within this
time it peels, cracks or blisters.
In each gallon of our paint is a tin tag worth
15c. We will pay you this price for them. Give us
a call on paint, for Hammar is the best and cheapest

At ages from 16 to 30 A
At ages from 3 1 to 40 R j^,
At ages from 40 to 50 C ss^,
At ages from 50 to 60 P
These amounts are paid only onetime.
One year from the date of policy and
annually thereafter, the annual dues
are-
Class A t 75

Class D $1.50
When a death occurs in a division
pacli member of that division is assessed
$1.15. As long as there is no death in a
division, no assessment is made and
beyond the annual dues which remain
the same as at age of entry, no monthly
assessments are made as is the ease
with so many assessment companies.
In the Mutual of Georgia, the principle
laid down is: No death in a division,no
assessment because none is needed,and
each division is responsible only lor the
deaths in that diyision.
In citv divisions one dollar extra it {
charged lor initiation fees, and the an
