Simon Peter Richardson is the only living member of the North Geor gia conference who joined tbe cons fereuco in 1840 It then extended from tbe Blue Ridge to Key West. He iron* of the beat known men in the Georgia pulpit.—Augusta Chroni cle Judge Day sententiously says: “A peace treaty can contain anytuing which the victors put into it.” Yes, and in this case ‘.he victors could have put anything Into tbe treaty which they wanted there as well at ington two months ago as they are doing now at Pana—New York World. From all parte of the country there are coming reports of a lowering of rates of interest by savings banks. The banks are receiving more money than they can handle profitably. Many of them are discouraging deposits, even ala lowered rate of interest. Is this because there is "not money enough io ibe country to do the country's bus iuess with" or because money is plen tiful and becoming cheaper all tbe time? asks an exchange. ; -te.... i. Loader Bailey is prepaterous. He denies the law of the law department of tbe government, and be tramples under his Texas feet congressional precedents, extending from the war of 1812 to tbe civil war inclusive. He now takes tbe position that General Wheeler forfeited his seat when bo took up tbe sword in tbe defense of bio country, and that no act of tbe gallant little general can congiessionally re habilitate him.—Birmingham Age- Herald, Tbe most gorgeous, full-blown pearl grey ass extant is now writing things for tbe New York Press. He says that the South is poverty-stricken, and that it can never be otherwise because 3 attire made it poor and unproductive; IX.t it cap pot even, raise grass; that its vegetables and fruits are no good, and that Florida’s oranges are being '.‘wiped off the board" by the superior products of California. The most truthful and direct reply that could be made to xny such statement would not look well in print, is the way tbe Sa vannah News expresses it. Beats the Klondike. Mr. A.

Fill a bottle or common glass with your water and let it stand twenty-four hours; a sediment or settling indicates an unheal thy condition of the kidneys; if it stains your linen it is evidence of kidney trouble; too frequent desire to pass it or pain in th* back is also convincing proof that the kid neys and bladder are out of order. What to Do. There is comfort in the knowledge so of ten expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp- Root, the great kidney remedy, fulfills ev ery wish in curing rheumatism, pain in tbe back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain in passing it, or bad'effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp- Root is soon realized. It stands tbe high est for its wonderful cures of tbe most dis tressing cases. If yon need a medicine yon should have the beet. At druggists, fifty cento or one dollar. You may h <ve a sample bottle and a book that tells more about it, both sent absolutely free by mail. if you send your address to Dr. Kilmer Co., Bingham ton, N. Y.

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. Banka was insured for ’ w’noe no The dividends amounted to. 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. 1,233. Issued March 5,1845. 8 5 ’ 000 ' . Annual premium, $l6O. Life Plan. Original insurance in Dividend additions paid in 1898, ..12,028.00 Amount of death claim • • 54 Premiums paid by insured 8,040. w Realized to estate over premiums paid * • • • • Being nearly equal to a return of all the premiums paid with two and a halt (2i) per cent, compound interest per annum, with insurance increasing annually from $5,00* at age 40, to $17,028 at age 94. . The dividend additions paid to the estate were 139 per cent, ot all the premiums paid for tbe 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 of his method of investment —a result that has never been equalled by a policy holder in any other company in the world.
