Advertising rata* fttrntohed on applica* ion OffteW Paper 81 th Ordinary of Spalding connty and tha City □f Griffin. Her* i* a shining example set by Kanaa*. The town council of Hutch* inion, fa that stale, has pawed an ordi nance against “A Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight.” “Any person or per eons,” says the ordinance, “who shall willfully and maliciously whistle, bum, sing or bellow said tuns, or who shall play the note* thereof upon an organ, band organ, piano, flute, clarionet, trombone, bass drum or any other mu sical instrument, within the city l|mft, shall be fined not les* than 1148 nor mor* than 120, and confined 24 hours in the lookup, or a* much longer as the magistrate shall deem belt for the public welfare.” The election of President Samuel Spencer of the Southern railway, and Francis Lynde Stetson, general coun sel of the same road, as directors of the Cincinnati Southern railway, is taken to mean that the Cincinnati Southern will Ir future be operated even more closely in connection with the Southern than in the past. The Southern has lor a long time been after the Cincinnati Southern, and it has been known that the former line Is determined to enter Cincinnati via the Cincinnati Southern. The road has heretofore been unable to secure control of a majority of the stock be* cause the city of Cincinnati has re fused to dispose of its holdings. The cruiser Maria Teresa is sched uled to leave Caimariera, Cuba, for th* Norfolk navy yard today, under hor own steam. The ship is said to be perfectly seaworthy and she will soon be placed io com mission in the Amer ican navy. The Teresa was one ol the finest ships in the Spanish navy and will in a measure lake the place of the Maine, the noble vessel de stroyed by the Spaniards in Havana harbor. Il has been suggested that the Teresa should be taken on a tour of all the ports of the country, as there is uothipg that could bo more inter* eating to our people than a sight of tbs type of vessel with which our sail ors bad to contend during the war, and which they conquered by their Courage aod marksmanship. The Birmingham News thus char acterises the really able and eloquent speech made by Clark Howell, at the jubilee banquet in Chicago: The speech ol Editor Clark Howell, of lhe Atlanta Constitution, at the Chicago peace jubilee banquet last night was a notable effort. His response to the toast, “Our United country, north and south.” That he did the subject full justice one but has to read his words to be convinced. The address was a gem of eloquent sentiment, and was peculiarly appropriate to the occasion, It is snob utterances and such events which cement the north and south more closely and make stronger the bond of unity between all sections of our common country. Mr. Howell voiced the south’s sentiments in bis speech last night. Discovered By a Woman. Another great discovery has been made, aod that too, by a lady in this country. “Disease fastened its clutches upon her and for seven years she with stood its severest tests, but her vital organa were undermined and death seemed imminent. For three months she coughed incessantly, and could not sleep She finally discovered away to recovery, by purchasing of us a bet tie of Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption, and was so much re lieved on taking first dose, that she slept all night; and with two bottles, . has been a*bsolntely cured. Her name is Mrs Luther Lils.” Thus writes W. C. Hammock A Co., of Shelby, N. C. Trial bottles free at J. N- Harris & Son's and Carlisle A Ward’s Drug e Store. Regular site 50c and <IOO.

It if a subject that Mr. Wright baa discussed many times in bi* annual reports. He estimates that <300,000,000 of intangible property escape taxation each year in this state. The value of stocks and bonds returned in the state is ridiculously inadequate, scarcely exceeding <4,000,000. About thirty millions of money, notes and acsonnt* ar* returned, although tbebsnk depos it* of the state exceed that sum. Fer tiliser notes are known to aggregate eight millions, and accounts due mer chant* are probably a* much more. Taking the item as a whole, it should be one hundred million instead of thir ty million*. He **ka the owners ol visible aud tangible property —the real estate own er*, in a word—to aid him in securing honest and full returns. He mention* the back tax law of this state, but he favors the enactment of a law that would make note*, judgments and mortgage* invalid unless returned for taxation. The combined holders of intangible property beat the bill last year, but he hopes to secure passage of •och a bill in the coming legislature. Mr. Wright is confident that if such a bill were placed on the statute hooks, bolder* of intangible properly would fall over each other in their haste to •ee the tax receiver for the purpose of getting such property listed,-—Macon New*.

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 of which are given here, shows that THE MUTUAL LIFE has in this in stance' eclipsed all previous dividend results: Mr. Banks was insured for • *’"fonaa no The dividends amounted to Paid to the estate <17,028.00 How does this happen? Mr. Banks paid all the premiums m cash, and he did this for fifty-tour years. He did not utilize any portion of the divi dends in payment of premiums, but permitted the Company to invest these for his benefit. Here are the particulars: Policy No. 1,233. Issued March 5,1845. AmountJjS. ooo - Age 40. Annual premium, <l6O. Life Fl^ OflO Original insurance in 1845 Dividend additions paid in 1898, Amount of death claim 54 Premiums paid by insured - Realized to estate over premiums paid <8.888.00 Being nearly equal to a return of all the premiums paid with two and a halt (W cent, compound interest per annum, with insurance increasing annually from fo,w* . at age 40, to <17,028 at age 94. . The dividend additions paid to the estate were 139 per cent, of all the premiums paid for the insurance. Mr. Mark was the treasurer and cashier of the Greenwich Savings Bank, and diedlsi. the good old age of ninety'-four. He appreciated the power of compound interest, and his wisdom is exemplified by the result o. his method of investment —a result that has never been equalled by a policy holder in any other company in the world. .
