PROMPT J»AYMENT. Alamo, Ga., Sept. 1, 1905. Mr. M. A. Candler, Special Agt. Southern Mutual Life Insurance Association, Mt. Vernon, Ga. Dear Sir:—Allow me to thank you for the prompt, full and sat isfactory payment of the policy held by my late husband, Daniel N. Purvis, in the Mt. Vernon Branch of the United States Co operative Life Insurance Associ ation (which Assciation was ab sorbed by the Southern Mutual Life Association on June 8, 1905.) I desire especially to thank you for the liberal spirit shown by the Association, as I have received the lienefit. of the full membership of the old Mt. Vernon Branch, in cluding all transferred to other branches. This is certainly very generous on the part of the Sou thern Mutual Life Insurance As sociation, as I have received not only eveiw dollar called for under the terms of the policy, but some thing more besides. My husband carried a policy in another companj r , but the Sou thern Mutual Life, as usual, was the first to make payment. The low cost of your insurance and the promptness and fairness of your business dealings commends the Association to the people of Mont gomery county, and I want all my friends to take a policy with you. Again thanking you, lam Yours gratefully, Lula Pukvis. LOTHAIR Spec ial Correspondence. (Crowded out last week.) Last Sunday morning, at the family burial ground, Rev. G. W.

NOTABLE CENTENARIANS. 1 do not regard the ambition to I merely live one hundred years as ; a sufficiently high ideal for the awakened man or woman of today. ! One should he able to sweep the ! wide horizon of the future with out the shadow of somatic death.! A century of life should serve as | a very elementary preparation for living. In view of man’s tenden cy to cling to traditional limita tions in length of years, it is en couraging to think of some of the centenarians who have awakened unvanquisned when the figures of threescore and ten could he multiplied. An especially interesting case is that of Henry Jenkins, of Filer ton, Yorkshire, England. Had he lived for one year more, he would have had seventy years to his credit after reaching his hun dreth birthday. Who would not feel young in the presence of a man one hundred and sixty-nine? An oath was administered to him and evidence received one hun dred and forty years before lie died. This is proved by the regis ters of the Chancery and other courts. He became the father ot a child at the age of ninety years, and lived until the young hopeful was seventy-nine. When one hun dred and sixty years ho celebrated Ins birthday by walking to Lon don. An extremely remarkable case was that of Thos. Parr, a native of England. When he married at eighty-eiglit years, he did not j look a day over forty. His second 1 marriage took place at the age of ono hundred and twenty-one. When one hundred and forty-five years old he was a hard worker, and able to successfully engage in a foot race. Thomas Parr did not die of “old j age.” The Earl of Arundel brought him to London to see the king, j and as a consequence, he died j from the effects of rich foods and excessive .vine at the age of one I hundred and fifty-two. A post-motem examination was made by Dr. Harvey, the celebra ted physician. The state of the body was most perfect. The ossifi-J cation which constitutes “old age” | was entirely absent. His pros- j pects of life, bad ho continued his normal system of living, would j have been fully as good as the av-; erage man of thirty-five. Imagine a man of one hundred and six married to a girl of sweet' sixteen. This was the experience j ot a man named John Weeks, of j New London, Conn. Do not im-j agine picture of hopeless decrepi tude allied to the smiling face of* the youthful maid. At that time his gray hair lmd fallen off, and had been renewed by natural dark hair. Not only this, but several new teeth made their appearance. Many other remarkable cases of | longevity are on record. The above-mentioned cases, however, | are sufficient to indicate the folly lof growing old, and to impress I upon the reader his comparative I I infancy.—Life Culture. r $65.00 TOP BUGGY AT $48.85 j It is not often you have an offer from a responsible firm | of this kind, and one that will save you as much money.
