Card of Thanks.
I desire to return my heartfelt
thanks to all my friends who were
so kind to me at a time when I so
much needed their sympathy and
help. I feel that I can never re
pay the debt of gratitude, and
want to express my earnest thanks
to those friends who so faithfully
watched night and day by the side
cf my loved one. May God bless
and safely keep every one is the
fervent prayer of a grateful heart.

Troubles of an Editor.
We have been a country editor
but eight brief months, but we are
up against it already. It seems to
us that in writing up weddings,
social gatherings and functions* we
have worn out certian phrases and
we are in need of a new supply.
Who will come to our rescue? We
want substitutes for the following :
4 4 Dainty luncheon, >’ ll royal enter¬
tainer,” ‘‘enjoyable time, > » i « ma*
terful address,” ‘‘charming hos¬
tess,” “conventional black,” “a
young lady of maiiy accomplish¬
ments,” “a few appropriate and
well-chosen remarks,” ‘‘to mourn
his untimely departure,” ‘‘presid¬
ed with dignity and grace,” “cov¬
ers are laid.” There are others
probably that we cannot recall
just now.—Pender (Neb.) Repub
lie.
Prof. Padgett Here.
Prof. A. C. Padgett, who has
been filling the chair of mathemat¬
ics and science at R. E. Lee Insti¬
tute, Thomaston, Ga., the past
year, arrived in the city Monday
to spend the summer and possibly
locate here, as he will read law and
soon stand the examination for
practice in the Georgia court?. The
law is not unknown to him, for he
has heretofore studied in New York
and Columbia, S. C.
Prof. Padgett is a graduate of
two South Carolina institutions ot
learning-Leesville Coliege and the
S. C Military Academy at Charles¬
ton. He has been teaching since
graduation and was principal of
the graded schools at Hampton,
S. C., before going to Thomaston.
Covington always extends the
glad hand to such splendid young
gentlemen as Mr. Padgett, and the
Enterprise hopes that he will de¬
cide to locate in our city perma¬
nently after his admission to the
bar.
Commencement at Palmer.
Tne exercises this year were ex¬
ceedingly interesting. On Friday
night the little folks gave a beau¬
tiful entertainment and much
credit is due both to the teachers
and pupils for a delightful evening.
It indicated much hard and intelh
gent work.
The graduating exercises proper
took place on Saturday night. The
church was beautifully decorated
and the audience very large. The
exercises consisted in carrying out
a well arranged program.
Carefully prepared essays were
read by the five graduating’ young
ladies: Misses Katherine Magath,
Virginia Peed, Annie Sue Bomicll,
Mary Hill Moore, Eva Trimble.
Two gold medals were awarded;
one for excellence in Latin and the
other for scholarship.
The principle, Prof. N. A. Good¬
year, announced that the Latin ex
animations for which the medal
was awarded were prepared by Dr.
E. K. Turner, Prof, of Latin,
Emery College.
Both medals were awarded to
Miss Katherine Magath.
Prof. Goodyear as was as his
faculty deserve much credit for the
magnificent work done at Palmer.
THE EMPIRE LIFE
THE FIRST TO PAY
The Death Claim of Mayor L.
A. Clarke—This is One of
The Strongest Compan¬
ies in the South.
A representative of the Empire
Life Insurance company of Atlan¬
ta, was in the city Wednesday to
pay the death claim of Mayor L.
A. Clarke, which amount was
$2500.
Mayor Clarke’s policy was just
two month-i old, he having paid
only one premium, and the prompt
payment made by this company
shows the excellent management
of its officers.
The Empire Life was the first
company to pay tbedeuth claim of
Mayor Clarke, although he carried
policies with several other com
panies.
This is one of the strongest insu¬
rance companies in the South and
is now writing over half million
dollars insurance each month.
The Empire fcffate Life Insurance
Co., ot Atlanta, is chartered and
organized under Georgia laws, is
purely mutual in • rganization but
old liue in principle.
The success of any company is
due to good management. The
officers of the Empire Life are rep
resentative men of a representative
company. They are well known,
conservative Georgians.
Another thing. Think ot $70,
000,000, large sum you say; yet it
fails to represent the funds which
have been sent out of Georgia in
form of life insurance premiums
during the past 20 years. W hy
not advance home enterprise?
Each year our State—the Empire
State of the South—is drained of
•17,000,000 for premiums. Is it not
better for the Mate and its people
to keep this at home? We think -o.
Now as to security. Experience
and recent investigation both show
that security is not a question of
age or size, Stength < onsists m
ratio of assets to liabilities, In
this respect ahead of the ‘
we tire
“Big 8” and other big ones.
All the older companies habitu¬
ally exhibit results under old j
policies. Why? because history
shows that a larger dividend is paid
during the earlier years of the
company.
If you would insure, investigate
the Empire Life of the Empire
w tute. You will find it sufo, earn
ing ■ a larger reserve than is rrquir- j
ed by law. You will find it c.m
servatively managed by the lead
ing men of your own State.

DESCRIPTIONi Made in all sizes. It is lively and easy riding, very durable and lined inside
with a special quality of rubber, which never becomes porous and which closes up small punctures
without allowing the air to escape. We have hundreds of letters from satisfied customers stating
that their tires have only been pumped up once or twice in a whole season. They weigh no more th an
an ordinary tire, the puncture resisting qualities being given by several layers of thin, specially
prepared fabric on the tread. That "Holding Back” sensation commonly felt when riding on asphalt
or soft roads is overcome by the patent "Basket Weave" tread which prevents all air from being
saueezed out between the tire and the road thus overcoming all suction. The regular price of these
tires is $ 8 . so per pair, but for advertising purposes day we are making received. a special factory price to the rider
of onlv fi. 8 o per pair. All orders shipped same letter is We ship C.O.D. on approval.
You do not pay a cent until you have examined and round them strictly as represented.
