Mt. Vernon, Georgia, Thursday Morning, Apr. 19, 1906.
Echoes from Easter — “How
did you like my Imt?”
Greene and Gay nor spent Kas
ter in jail at Macon. The atmos
phere of Macon is scarcely as
bracing as that of Canada.
For pure, bYIII-dog tenacity and
unswerving purpose the example
of District. Attorney Marion Er
win in the Greene and Guvnor
case will long stand out in bold
relief.
Tint conviction ami sentence of
Greene nnd Gitynor for defraud
ing the IT. S. government out of
$1,600,(MX) is somewhat of a refu
tation of the claim that so long as
a, man lias plenty of money he
will go umvhipt of justice.
Conyers Free Press: —A candi
date for governor may advocate
certain things to blind and catch
the thoughtless, but the people
are learning tliut a real governor
has very little to do with the mak
ing of laws.
Some of our exchanges arc wor
ried because two Atlanta women
let Ady Carnegie kiss them during
his recent visit to that city. II
Andy will drop half as much cash
in our little till as lie has in pub
lic benefactions in Atlanta, be
ran kiss us all day.
If you are interested in Mont*
gomery’s present or future wel
fare, don’t fail to meet Hon. J. J.
Conner, president of the Georgia
Htate Agricultural Society, during
our superior court. He is slated
to spook for us on Mondin, the
first day of court.
Secretary of War Taft says the
Fifteenth Amendment will knock
out any disfranchisement law that
c«n he framed. Hut Hoke Smith
proposes to “wink the other eye”
after taking the oath as governor
of Georgia and show us how to do
things like they used to in Atlanta.
One ol the great regrets of the
present campaign is that Hoke
Smith and his spoilers arc kept
too busy with the fake straw bal
lot business to give a careful study
to President iloosevelt’s “Muck
Hake” speech at the laying of the
corner stone of tlu* new office
building for the house of repre
sentatives last week.
Vote for the best men offering
for office in Montgomery county,
but don’t be so foolish as to sup
po-c that all the names you mark
off are sheep-stealers aud political
burglars. The good Lord will con*
time* to let his sun shine and the
bb-sed rains descend after the
primary, whether your man got
elected or got left .
The South Georgia candidate
for governor is making a trium
phal march through Georgia, and
will soon call on his friends in
Montgomery county. If elected
to the highest office in the state,
he proposes to let the state legisla
ture make the laws, aud devote
his time to seeing that they are
properly enforced, lie will not
undertake to undo the work of
Georgia's brightest and best
minds, nor paralyze her great en
terprises and industries. And he
is not seeking to ride into office
ou imaginary contingencies.
STATE PEeSS COMMENTS w
Savannah Press: —An Atlanta
minister, according to the Con
! stitution, gi t his shoes full of cin
ders ut Vessuviue and fled from
1 the burning crater. This is a close
cull for 11 minister nnd reminds
one of the fate of old Dan Tucker
| when a red hot coal got in his
j slices.
Valdostu Times: —With Mt.
j Vesuvius doing extra time in
Italy aud Ben Tillman threaten
ing to break loose in the U. S.
Senate, there is not much danger
of a dearth of news even if the
j Greene and Gay nor case has been
temporarily laid on the shelf.
Atlanta Journal: —New York
city claims to have in one of its
hospitals a boy whoso sight, lias
been restored by the insertion of
the eyo of a rabbit. This should
enable him to see Easter eggs
| without any trouble.
Adel News: —Adel could have a
fine county fair this fall with but
little effort. Manufacturers all
over the country would doubtless
contribute liberally to such an
enterprise, and we could make an
agricultural exhibit that would he
fine.
Ainericus Times-Recorder:—Mt.
Vesuvius is cooling off a little,
but Hoke Smith, Lige Dowie, Ar
kunsnw Jeff and Yardman are still
scattering calamity ns they blow
through the country.
Ashburn Banner: —The farmers
m this section arc now in position
i to take a little case, and await the
I appearance of “General Green,”
iso that they may know where to
j strike to nnihilate tho little “gen
eral” and his forces.
Atlanta Constitution: Undo
Joe Cannon admits that the stand
patters are going to wake up some
of those days and lind their cake
dough. The first rude awakening
w ill come when a democratic ma
jority is elected to the next lower
house of congress.
llawkinsville Dispatch-News:—
Tho day will yet come w hen the
people will wake up to the fact
that they have been robbed out of
untold millions under the guise
of protection to “infant” indus
tries, which has all gone into the
pockets of a favored few. The
protectionists are the greatest
plain highway men whoever in
fested this country.
Sandersville Herald:—Men no
1 longer talk of the good old times
of long ago. Today is the bright
j est day that has ever shone upon
; the South and offers the best op
portune ies.
Columbus Enquirer-Sun :-Thir
teeu thousand miles of railway are
t being constructed 111 the United
States now. That must be dis
couraging to lion. Iloke Smith.
LaGrange Graphic: —lt does
seem that any democrat, much
less one wanting to be governor,
1 could tell without a moment’s
hesitation whether he would sup
port Bacon or Watson for the
United States senate. The effort
to disrupt the Democratic party
in Georgia becomes more appar
i ent every day.

OUR PLAN.
One advantage our poliev holders have, is that each division is a separate company, and its members pay only lor deaths
occurring m tliafpnrticular division. If by reason ot a more healthful section, we have an advantage in the death rate, ; ;
our members are given credit for that advantage by payments being left in their pockets. It is not the purpose of this As- j
s,.cation to antagonize any of the existing companies or to speculate as to the manner in which the leading insurance com- I
panics dispose of tin* vast sums of money which constitute the difference between the enormous stuns collected by them and ,
the amounts actually paid out in death losses; but it is quite clear that insurance on the lives of healty men and women ;;
might to be had for much less money than is now being charged. Let ,t further be observed that the great objection urged
by most people against life insurance is that the large sums of money paid out annually in the various states and cou it.es
bring back but small returns, that the bulk of the millions of dol am thus paid going to enrich the Northern and Eastern
states and the wealthy officers of the various companies. It is evident, therefore, that what the people need is puie Insu- ; f
ranee at Actual Cost, and with an Association that will keep the money at home. i

The above tacts prove two things beyond all question, namely, that the plan as operated by this Company is thoroughly
is thorough’ practicable, and that the membership appreciate the r policies and are not willing to let them lapse lor the j,
small payments necessary. Average cost over the state last year less than sbpei mem m $ , pf> u\. ~
Our company makes no fancy promises to catch members. We simply offer protection among one ano te ,

third division we expect to fill to 1.000 members by May 15, 1906. Many were left out of our second division on account of ; j
delay in making application until the last. The cost to join is very small and delay ma\ mean mi jou wi te wi no
protection for vour dependent ones. In all earnestness ask yourself:
IF I SHOULD DIE TONIGHT, what would pay the mortgage? Ij
What would feed and educate my children? W hat would be my dear wife * condition |>
It is too serious a thought, and the cost too small to delay—make application today.
