LEGAL ORGAN OF COFFEE COUNTY. FOR OUR COUNTRY AND HER PEOPLE, FIRST AND ALL THE TIME! VOL. 14, No. 22 Q'oficlf S > aid--=jfCon\© <§cr£ec!. On May iqth, 1903, Augustus J. Jones took out a policy (No. 239064) in favor of his wife for $2,000.00, in the Penn Mutual Life Insurance Co., of Philadelphia, through the special local agency of Mark A. Candler, giving his individual note in payment of the first annual premium. The note was made payable October Ist, 1903. On September iSth, 1903. he died from Typhoid fever. His widow, Martini Jones, has been paid the full amount of the policy. This case is unusual for the following reasons : xst, the promptness with which the death claim was paid, there being but 25 days from the day of his death to the payment of the policy to his wife; 2nd, being somewhat involved in debt, and his farm under mortgage, his property inis been saved from sale by creditors. The following letter tells the whole story : Douglas, Ga., October 13th, 1903. Mr. Mark A. Candler, Special Local Agent, The Penn Mutual Life, of Philadelphia, Douglas, Ga. Dear Sir and Friend: —Permit me to thank you for the prompt and full settlement of the policy (Xo. 239064,) for two thousand dollars on the life of my late husband, Augustus J. Tones. This will keep us from the necessity of selling the old home place, which is under mortgage to tire bank. Words can not express to you the gratefulness of our hearts to your grand okl Company, which has paid this claim in full in less than three weeks, and has saved our home. We can never say enough good words for the grand old Penn Mutual Life of Philadelphia. May its mission of mercy never end, and may it spread its protecting wings over the defenseless heads of widows and orphans hun dreds of years to come. Yours, gratefully, Maktiia J. Jones. What this woman’s experience is may some day be that of your own wife. Is your farm under, mortgager Are you in volved in debts? Have you provided for their payment in the event of your death? If you have no policy of life insurance, DOUBLE THE AMOUNT OF YOUR DEBTS, you should “get VOUr sights right” and become a stockholder in the old reliable Penn Mutual Life, of Philadelphia. You will then feel more like an American citizen, a All-blooded Georgian, a wire-grass king -*>*a representative Coffee county man!

The people of Georgia, and in fact, the United States, are shock ed with the Judicial farce recently enacted in South Carolina, dis played on the bill board as the trial of Tillman for the murder of Gonzales, and P is a matter of regret that the actors in that com edy of burlesque should have strip ped the goddess of justice of her fair name, threw her face down ward in the filth of political mud, and draped the palmetto state in a mantle of dishonor. The world knows that a m n with political influence may be a murderer and still be applauded as a gentleman, while the jury before which he is tried is a band of perjurers.

Busy bodies! That she has been informed that the Douglas Breeze will move up stairs in the new b;ick block. The editor is like an old horse—the cider he gets the more style lie tries to put on.

Poor little' feffo ivs. That it is a mystery to her how some girls can go on a straw ride, get meal on their dresses and never go near x grist or steam mill. But then, Grundy says there is no ac counting for girls. That Mrs. Davis says the old Maids are going to have a conven tion and Dr. Hall will be chairman. Now, there’s a man that needs sympathy. Here is a Good One. The liquor dealers of tlie city have been informed Dy the South ern Express Company that the town council of Moultrie has pro hibited trar spotation companies from bringing into the town any malt, spirituous, or intoxicating liquors. Notice is therefore given that the company will have to re fuse shipments of this kind for Moultrie. The action of the council of Moultrie, while not of so much importance of itself, is of con siderable importance in that if i' can prohibit the importation of liquors all the other towns of the state c ■ n follow suit. It is therefore certain that the parties most concerned will take steps to defeat this possibility. Just what steps will be taken have not yet been decided on. The railroad commission may be appealed to or the matter may he taken into the courts. —Savannah Press. Douglas as a Cotton Market. Last Monday there were on the streets more than a dozen wagons of ail sizes, loaded vvhlv'sea-island cotton in the seed, and we also noticed two busy local buyers among them, sampling and inspect ing the fleecy staple. These small loads of cotton in the seed are many times the productions of small farmers—people ho do not. make enough for a bale, but some times large loads' are brought in ■and" sold, at about as much is realized for the cotton in the seed would be secured for a bale, the expense of ginning and baling considered. Therefore we are glad to»see Mr. Peterson and Mr. Markey" paying good prices to the farmers. Matron’s Needle and Brush Club.
