The Advantages The usual promptness with which all claims are settled by THE SOUTHERN STATES LIFE IN SURANCE COMPANY, is due first to its willingness and desire to assist the beneficary; and, second the fact that it is a Home Institution, located in the vicinity of the insured, is easy of access, lias facilities for securing information promptly; advantages which, by the very fact of their location, are denied to companies whose home offices arc in distant cities. Mr. Chas. Pruitt passed through this vicinity Sunday. Miss Ida Sanders is going to be the guest of Mrs. Minnie Fleming for a week or more. Mr. R. L.

[You are most welcome indeed with your new and newsy letter. Come again, and every week. — Editor.] Editor Poe to Circle the Globe. Announcement is made that Editor Clarence Poe of the Raleigh N. C. Progressive Farmer and Ga zette will sail August 23rd for a five months’ trip around the world and wall write for his paper every week a series of articles dealing with all the notable and interest ing things seen in Japan, China, the Phillippines, India, the Holy Land, and Egypt—having his eyes open especialiy for everything af fecting the South, our agriculture, manufactures, race problem and political problems, conservation of resources, etc". What may be expected of Mr. Poe’s ‘‘Round the World” travel letters may be guessed from the onthusiastic reception of his tra vel letters from Europe two years ago. So popular as published in The Progressive Farmer and Ga zette, the letters were later re printed in book form, and were awarded a golden trophy cup for distinguished literary merit, the presentation being made by Am bassador Bryce, of Great Britain, who joined a great number of American critics in high praise of the book. The Atlanta Constitution remarked editorially the other day that Mr. Poe “by his splendid qualities of intelluctuai and moral leadership” has become one of the leaders in Southern upbuild ing as well as “one of the fore most and soundest thinkers in the South.” -Progressive Farmer and Gazette subscribers will doubtless follow his letters with interest, and one or tw r o sample copies for examination are offered free to our readers who do not know the paper.
