THE : MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE CO. OF NEW YORK. | Breaks The Dividend Record. It has always held the record securely, but the claim paid by the compa : ny upon a policy issued to Mr, Mark Banks, of Connecticut, the particulars iof which are given here, shows that THE MUTUAL LIFE has in this in j stance eclipsed all previous dividend results: I Mr. Banks was insured for $5,000 W ! The dividends amounted t<> 12.028.00 l‘aid to the estate .... $17,028.00 I How does this happen? Mr. Banks paid all the premiums in cash, and ihe did this for fifty-tour years. He did not utilize any portion of the divi- I dends in payment of premiums, but permitted the Company to invest these | for Ins benefit. Here are the particulars: I Policy No. 1,233. Issued March 5,1845. Amount $5,000. Age4o. Annual premium, sl6o* I.ife I’lsn. ' Original insurance in 1847, $5,000.

Mr, Mark Banks was the treasurer and cashier of the Greenwich Savings I : Bank, and died at the good old age of ninety-four.

Editor : Some years ago I took an idea that land was the safest investment that a man could make in Georgia, and as a consequence, I am now land poor; have more than I can profitably make use of, and consequently want to get rid of some, or all of it, and I have decided to adopt the following measure to get rid of it: I will say,in the first place, that the land is the best in Monroe county, is fine ly watered, and is adapted to raising cat tle, sheep and hogs, and .is the best tor cotton, corn, wheat, oats and other grains in the county. There are a number of tenant houses on the place, and a home recently built that cost me over $3,000 to build. The land, in the first place, cost me from $25 down to $4 per acre—saying altogether, about $lO per acre, without improvements ; and to get rid of it, I will average the whole place at $lO per acre, in the following way : I will have the entire place, 1,600 acres, sub-divided into 50-acre lots, at $lO per acre, giving more than 50 acres to one party, if desire), and less than 50 tv another, according to his ability to pay for it, as the case may be, the entire quantity to ba drawn for. In other words, the number of lots and quantity’ of land to be put in a bat or box, and drawn out under approval of a com mittee of gentlemen, at some stated time, so that all shall have a fair chance to get a home at a low price, and no one has a chance of losing theirm mey, or failing to get their value, as paid, and some get a farm at far less than cost The land is 12 miles from Macon, a city of some 50,000 or 60,000 people, and is adapted to market gardening, and for northern people who know’ how to work, it offers a fine opportunity for a colony of energetic citizens. It. is all together, and would make a fine settlement, having the best of pastures, water, springs, creeks, etc. The land is timbered with hickory, beach, oak and pine, and some cedar; in fact, it is the best place I know’ of, and I am satisfied the ed itor of the Call will vouch for what I say. I would be glad to have any parties who mean business, to go over the plantation, familiarize themselves with the advan tages, and communicate with me at Barnesville, before going into the matter, assuring them that I mean what I say. I have also a farm of 50 acres near Barnesville for sale, on good terms. In addition to the terms offered above, I have concluded to make the terms of pay ment in four annual payments without interest, which is tantamount to putting the price of the land very’ low, The titles to the land have been in the posses sion ot one or two parties for years, and have never been questioned and are as good as gold.
