We could name some fat republicans, and some loan ones, too, who ought to be given offices ont there. Providence might throw them into the hands oi those cannibals. Young Gillett, the Kansas csttfo king who rose from the position of an bumble cow boy to that of the Hading < cattle speculator of tbe wsat, is bipi** rapt and a fugitive from the law.

Gann 4 Company, a firm composed of Northern capitalists, are buying timbered lands, and leasing timber, preparatory to patting op a big sate mill on the Georgia Northern railroad, about four miles northwest of Moultrie. They have recently closed a deal with Mr. C. E. Holmes, of Moultrie, for 17,600 worth of saw timber, all of which is in a body and convenient to their location, and they are negotiating for a number of smaller tracts in that sec« lion. They will i| a short while go about the work of erecting the mill as they already have enough timber to warrant them in so doing.*—Moultrie Observer. . . Congressman Branlly has expressed himself as being opposed to the policy of territorial aggression. He express** sd these views in speeches during (be congressional campaign and before leaving for Washington the other day he reiterated them in an interview. On th is subject Congressman Brantley says: M I am unalterably opposed to the proposed plan of territorial ex pansion. It is dangerous to our gov ernmental institutions and deprives tbe Vnited States of tbe beauty of her republican form of government. The territorial expansion idea will do away with the rights of tbe states, and in every sense of the word is a danger one departure from our constitutional form of government. I believe that tbe Democratic party will stand against tbe movement."

Shile politeness is a good trait to au ilre, courtesy is infinitely better,” writes Edward Bok in The Ladies’ I Home Journal. “Politeness is manners, but courtesy is heart Mingling in good society can give us that veneer which : the world calls a polish of manners, and true politeness la not to bemadellttU of nor scoffed at Politeness is a fins art, but is an art pure and simple even : at its best. Infinitely better is the oulti* I ration erf that courtesy of refinement ■ which enters into the feelings of other! * and bolds them sacred. It is idle to say 1 that courtesy is a relic of old fashioned days and is no longer looked for. It il as much the current coin of good socie ty as it ever was.

J Greatest Ever Known. TELE—: RM LIFE INSURANCE CO. OF NEW YORK. Breaks The Dividend Record. ft 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 ”<5.000 00 The dividends amounted to * * - *.MJw> w Paid to the estate $17,028.00 How does this happen? Mr. Banks paid all the premiums in 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. 1,283. Issued March 5,1845. Amount $5,000. Age 40. Annual premium, $l6O. Life Plan. Original insurance in 1845 Dividend additions paid in 1898, 12,028.00 Amount of death claim 54Premiums paid by insured 8,640. W Realized to estate over premiums paid $8,388 00 Being nearly equal to a return <n all the premiums paid with two and a halt (2|) per cent, compound interest per annum, with insurance increasing annually from $5,000 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. . • P Mr. Mark Banks was the treasurer and cashier of the Greenwich Savinge 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 of nis method of investment —a result that has never been equalled by a policy holder in any other company in the world.
