Entertainment
at the Institute .
The Union Baptist Institute has
arranged for the course of lectures I
and’other highclnss forms of enter
tainment which are under the ox-j
elusive management of tlie A1 ka- (
best Lyceum System, and the first j
entertainment of the season will j
be given at the auditorium Satur-1
day evening, 21th,,8 p. in. Thisj
series ot entertainments promises
of real merit, and should be well
attended during the entire season,'
Saturday evening’s entertain
ment will be under the direction
of Mr. Edward Elliott, and those;
who hear him are assured of an;
evening of pleasure and profit.
Ha stands'for the Lyceum as the
moral and intellectual substitute
for the theatre, and takes some
play that has been a great success
and credit to the stage and ar
ranges it into a concise story told
by the characters. These charac
ters are acted out, made real liv
ing people—no wigs, scenery or;
costumes employed—you are made
to see the play as vividly though
acted out by a full company. A
man capable of this is more than
a wonder.
Doors will boTrpen in time for
the entertainment, to begin at
eight o’clock. Admission very
reasonable. Do not miss it, and
be on time.

In the advertising columns of

ance Assoeiat ion of Georgia, whose
home olliee is in Athens, while the
management of this district is
located in Dublin, with Mr. Tho
mas I’eters, Jr., as head of I Ins
olliee. This company Inis been
doing business in this section for
a number of years, and to say
that their business met.hods are
exact and pleasing to its patrons
does not express the situation.
This company all'ords possibly the
j safest, best and cheapest insur
ance to be had, since their rate is
extremely low and the method ab
solutely safe.
As oflicers of the Laurens comi
ty division wo note two of the
best known men in the city of
Dublin. Its president, Mr. \V. .1.
Hightower, is clerk of the superi
or court of Laurens county, while
its treasurer, Mr. A. W. Garrett,
is cashier of the First Nat ional
Dank. Mr. Peters, who built up
t he Laurens county divisions, was
reared in Atlanta, and from liih
youth up has been in active busi
ness life, with the advantages of
the best training to be had. Lau
rens county now has four full di
visions of members each.
| This means that if a member of
j either division dies liih beneficiary
receives the I'll 11 amount of $1 ,tMKI.
'l’llis company is well and favor
ably known in tins county, and

numbered among ifs members.

j from their “ad” in t his issie ,
j More definite information regard
