Dr. Joba Hall, the noted Presbyterian divine ol Now York eity, loaves.hie property divided as usual among his wife and all his children, except Bolton Hall, one of hie sons, who is to receive only the interest from hie share until the death of Mrs. John Hall, after which the ex ecutors are empowered to advance to him the whole or any part of bis por tion, according to their judgment. Perhaps thio eon receives different from the other children because he is a single tax advocate. He is, however, reputed,to be a man of means. Ho is a lawyer, and takes active interest io labor questions. We have no disposition to join in the attempts to instruct the farmers as to their business, and feel that we have done onr doty by our readers among the cotton growers when we call their attention to the price condi* lions which fs the result of a large yield. The truth of the matter is, that the south will never be able to realise the fad benefit from cotton until the factories for the snannfsotnre of the raw material are located io the cotton fields: and when these menu faotnripg establishments are owned aad operated by men of this section who have been’technically trained for their work, the price of cotton will be fixed in the fields an not in Liverpool and on Wall street.—LaGrange Re porter. Edward 0. Flanagan, the Decatur murderer, confined in the tower at Atlanta, and who has been so near the gallows himself, has witnessed the preparations for the execution of three follow prisoners since be has been In carcerated* and in each instance shows symptoms of great mental sufferings* While be was at Decatar he watched the preparations for the banging of Terrell Hodson and was nearly erased with fright. He screamed out that the crowd would take him when they bad hung the negro, and catching bold of the mioieters he begged them to leave the negro and pray with him He has just gone through the third or deal ol this kind and seemed to have suffered more than the man who was hung. Ono of the jail officials at At lanta said that It may be "that fate has decreed that Flanagan should, suffer more than the pangs of ordinary hanging, and that he bps beeu doomed to go through all terross which havo been ip store for him.” It requires something more disas trous than 4 cent cotton to slay the hopes of the Georgia cracker. He is so built as to be equal to any emergency which hard times may bring, as shown by the latest reports from Lee county. There is not enough mopey in a bale of cotton to purchase a good sited jag. Lee countyitea, however, havo another way of getting the jag, and they do it without violating the laws of Uncle Bam. Sugar cane is made into rum, Which has Mil the capacities for paint ing the proboscis, painting tbe town and making a fellow feel happy. The manner of making the rum is simple. They take tbe mash and get sour juice and pot this io tbe kettle and boil it, covering tbe kettle with a flanel cloth, which absorbs the steam ; this gives a sort of low wine, which is put into tbe kettle and boiled. Tbe blarket is used again and catches tbe steam It is then rinsed, twisted and wrong, and tbe rum ia made. There is no still or worm, and tbe law io oot violated. Notbiog is said as lo tbe taste of tbe liquor. ■ - - - ■ - - ■ - THE OLD HYMN. ireSwttW.arerealroom, * A towoaUsU room, qnatnt sbapad, osk hsaaw Wthwimtowstooktasefftos* _ .

It haa 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 The dividends amounted to Paid to the estate ; $17,028.00 How does this happen? Mr. Banks paid all the premiums in cash, ® n .d 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. Age 40. Annual premium, $l6O. Life Pm. Original insurance in 1845, -s“?2™ Dividend additions paid in 1898, ...12,028.00 Amount of death claim... 54 Premiums paid by insured 8,b40.U0 Realized to estate over premiums paid •• • $8,388.00 Being nearly equal to a return of all the premiums paid with two and a halt (2j) per cent, compound interest per annum, with insurance increasing annually from ss,ote 1 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 Banks was the treasurer and cashier of the Greenwich Savings Bank, and died at 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.
