Mr. Editor, after reading your
editorial inlast weeks issue regard¬
ing the new school and church of
Roberta and hearing the senti¬
ment generally among the people
expressed, we extend the same
enthusiasm upon the action you
have taken in the matter. It does
not seem long since Roberta was
just in its infancy, but it now bids
fair to become a grown town in
the near future. It has been
building up with such remarkable
rapidity that it has surprised ev¬
en the intelligent enterprising
men of her town, much less the
many selfish, prejudice seeking
idle drones who sit down on the
stool of independence, making
proclamations for a finished town
at once and deyour the social
interest of those who have tried
to take an encouraging interest in
the cause of education and civi¬
lization of the people bf Roberta.
A house divided against itself
cannot stand. So it will be with
the people of Roberta and the
interest of its school ana church,
if a little prejudice is allowed to
obstruct the pathway of its mor¬
al and financial conditions too
early in the bloom of youth. We
trust that the people of Roberta
will avoid any futher dissatisfac¬
tion and unite together and finish
the church that is so near * com¬
pleted for it will be a beacon light
to guide the youth of your town,
and a source of pleasure in unit¬
ing together old acquaintances. It
might naturally be supposed that
the person who has never thought
of a hereafter and whose life has
been one constant ^cene of devia¬
tion from the path of moral recti¬
tude would dread the vary idea of
death. This being is forgetful of
his God, of virtue and religion.
He turns aside from every enter¬
prise that might force the remem
brance of his future existence.
What is education? Is it not the
futher advancement of civiliza¬
tion and making ones mind a per¬
petual gift of wisdom. It is an
inheritance worth more than gold
for it brings true honor to every
one who gains it. Tak£ away the
three grand enterprises now going
up in Roberta, would bring dis¬
grace upon the people of Crawford
county. It is the school, church
and newspaper. Support your
paper and agitate its importance
upon the minds of. the people and
your children will imulate your
example in days to com*.

A LIFE ENDOWMENT POLICY
--IN THE*.
USIOS CENTRAL LIFE IffSUR
MCE COMPANY
OF CINCINNATI, -
Is the best policy for the insured, be¬
cause it combines the constant pro¬
tection of ordinary life insurance at
ordinary rates with a profitable in¬
vestment which is better than gov¬
ernment 4 per cent, bonds. On this
plan the assured does not ‘‘have to
die to win.” The entire premiums
on a policy of this kind remain with
the Company, and are invested at a
high rate of interest (between 7 and
8 per cent.) compounded, and when
the oremiums, with profit from all
sources, less its share of losses and
expenses, equal to the face of the
policy, it is payed to the assured, if
living, as an endowment. In case of
death at any time previously, it is
paid in full to the beneficiary. For
instance, the premiums on a Life
Rate Endowment Policy, taken at
age 35,twenty annual payments, will
according to the past experience of
the Company, cause the policy to
mature in about 22 years, in which
case it will be paid in full to the as¬
sured.
As the UNION CENTRAL real¬
izes the highest rate of interest on its
investments.of any life company in
the United States, and has a death
rate considerably below the average,
it will be seen why the above result
may be reached in so short a time.
The difference in the am unt of
$1,000 at 5 per cent, and 7 per cent
compound interest, respectively, for
50 years is $17,990 in favor of the lat¬
ter. THE UNION CENTRAL av¬
erages over 7*per cent, on all its in¬
vestments, while the Eastern life
companies average about per
cent.
SPECIAL REASONS
FOR INSURING IN
The Union Central Life.
1. It is located in Ohio, which is
the only State requiring an official
examination of its life companies to
be made annually.
2. Its funds are invested in the
most careful manner, in the safest
class of securities. More than three
fourths of its total assettn a in¬
vested in real estate securities. Of
the balance not a dollar is invested
in stocks or bonds, government
bonds excepted.
3. It is required by State law to
hold, for the protection of its policy¬
holders, a reserve fund upon the ba¬
sis of 4 per cent., the highest stand¬
ard known in the United States.
4. Its policies are nonforfeitable
and incontestable after three annual
payments,
5. Its interest receipts for several
vears have exceeded all death claims,
natured endowments and taxes.
Such a record has rarely, if ever,
been made.
t 6. It loans its money in the West
vnd in Georgia, thereby giving its
policy-holders the benefit of a high
rate of interest.
7. Its stockholders by State law
are liable for double the amount of
their stock.
8. It issues Endowment policies
at Life rates, and results have proven
the plan to be the best ever adopted.
9. It pays its losses promptly and
without needless expense to the
claimant.
10. Its Death Rate has for several
years been lower than that of any
ither leading Company in the
United States.
It divides its profits among pol¬
icy-holders.
