No man ought to take a policy of LIFE INSURANCE in any company without first making that company show what dividends it is paying on the
icy he is considering. If he will do this and then compare such dividends with those of the NORTHWESTERN H
MUTUAL lie will make no mistake in

some yourself. Ask for dividend records and don't be satisfied until you get them, then act on your own judgment. GET the BEST. You are entitled
to it! U men would exercise one-tenth the care before buying Life Insurance that they do in buying stocks or bonds, they would save thousands of dol
lars. The superiority of the Northwestern in reducing the cost of Life Insurance is due to the great dividends paid to policy holders.
The larger the DIVIDEND the cheaper the cost of Insurance.

AWAY YONDER AHEAD OF THE OTHER.
Below we print a most suggestive letter from Mr.
J. Pate Stetson, Teller American National Bank,
Macon, Ga.
MACON, GA. December 12th, 1S98.
I took a policy for §8,000 two years ago on the 20-Payment Life Plan in the NORTH
WESTERN MUTUAL. The premium was §202.50. I received my first dividend last month
and it amounted to §45.20. I found by using this diyidend in cash and paying ONLY §7.56 more
that I could carry $2,000 more on the SAME PLAN, and I immediately applied for and have re
ceived a policy tor §2,000 on the same plan, thus giving me §10,000 insurance for only $7,56
more than I was paying on the §8,000 I first took. This is certainly an excellent showing, and
I am very proud of my policy in THE NORTHWESTERN.
It is only fair to state that I took a policy in another company on the same plan as the
one I took in The Northwestern, and The Northwestern dividend IS AWAY YONDER AHEAD
OF THE OTHER.
J. PATE STETSON.
No other Company can show results anywhere nearly equal to the above.

AN IRON ENTERPRISE
THAT IS A CREDIT TO THE
SOUTH.
The Valuable Enterprise That lias Taken
the dace of a Discarded Waste—Geor
gia Iron Works Ready for Business
Again—Brand New and Very Latest
Machinery, Carefully Selected, For
General and Special Lines—Best of
Workmen and Product.
Augusta Herald, Aug. 11,
The most important reclamation
in Augusta since the river bank
was made from a waste stretch into
a railway route and cotton ware
house district is shown at the Geor
gia Iron Works site.
What was a gully seemingly use
less has been touched by enterprise
and skill, and there is erected the
l»est appointed and one of the most
thoroughly equipped manufactur
ing industries in the South.
The investment itself was an evi
dence of faith in Augusta, Made
where it was made, it not only pro
vided for this city an industry of
h'gh merit, but it brought into use
a nook of land which, it appeared,
had been abandoned to disuse.
The Georgia Iron Works occupy
approximately five acres of land.
The location is most admirable. Op
portunity is given, and improved,
to handle work at the minimum ol
costgo realize on the best and most
ample water supply; to put machin
ery from the workman’s hands di
rect on the railroad car or the wag
on for city delivery. The marvel is
that the site, being such an admir
able one, has not been utilized be
fore,
The Works Themselves.
to apoointment—manner of con
duction and arrangement—and in
equipment, the Georgia Iron Works
approximate the perfect.
The structure is almost over
roomy. it is admirably ventilated.
^ is thoroughly lighted. Succeed-
’ n K the Georgia Iron Works de-~j
stroyed by fire a year ago, its ma-1
chinery throughout, is necessarily 1
the very latest and best improved
known to the business, and all
brand new. The equipment a9 to

so in two lines, for the manufacture

complete phosphate mining ma

made—for it must be understood-
that the Georgia Iron Works is a
manufactory, also doing all kinds
of iron repair work.
s6me of the Equipment.
The foundry of the plant, at pres
ent is conducted at the old site. Its
place, however, is just across the
branch of the second level of the
canal on which llie manufactory
is located, and it will be in position
in a short while. The branch canal
will be bridged between the iron
works and the foundry.
Railroad tracks run up to the
plant, through it, through the foun
dry and through the yard. The im
mense door ot the works (24x30)
permits the loading, right at the
structure, of cars of any size or any
carrying capacity.
A first class and immense travel
ing crane, reaching every portion
of the works, is the best and most
noticeable of the admirable equip
ment. By its use the hugest kind
ol a sawmill engine to the smallest
bit of iron work can be removed
from one portion of the works to
another or to the railroad track, for
loading, without the least annoy
ance of trouble.
Excellent Arrangements:
The wheel house of the works will
attract attention. Machinery of the
kind employed by the works re
quire steady motive power. To
make the power more steady at
these works it is conducted by a
rope-transmitter instead of by or
dinary belting, preventing belt slip
ping at any time and insuring
against irregularity in motive pow
er,
The machinery that is especially
adapted to the manufacture of saw
mill and phosphate mining equip
ments will attract favorable atten
tion, being the very best and very
latest. Every thing that can be us
ed in manufacture arid repair work
Is provided and all of it has been
carefully selected. One hundred
employes, the greater per cent, of
them skilled workmen, are engag
ed there. The lathes and planers
in the works are the newest and
be3t known, and other tools are in
keeping with them. These are the
delight of the workmen. The me
chanical equipment and the labor
equipment are such as warrant the
most thorough product, and this is
turned out in all the departments.
In Operation INow.
The Georgia Iron works are now
in operation. Their first order was
a big out-of-town contract. The re
pairing department, as well as the
manufacturing department, are
busy. All drawings of patterns were
saved from the fire and a force of
pattern-makers were put to work
to replace all the destroyed patterns
thus putting the establishment in
readiness for business.
The Georgia Iron Works would
be a credit to a city ten times the
size of Augusta. They are the best
planned and the best equipped in
the South. There are few cities
anywhere that can boa^t a manu
factory where a sawmill plant can
be turned out wholly, quickly and
perfectly. The time and expense
economies at the works, the new
and best of tools, the transportation
facilities provided, comprehensive
ness of the machinery, contemplat
ing the largest jobs, and progress
ive management, make the con
cern desirable to deal with and in
sures from it first-class output in
every particular.
Mr. H. C. Perkins is president of
the Georgia Iron Works, Mr. J. A.
Hauser is manager.
Six Foot Rattler Killed.
Wayckoss, Ga., Aug. 24.—Two very
large rattlesnakes have been killed near
here. Some negro tie cutters killed one
just below the railroad bridge across the
Satilla river. The snake measured 6 1
feet and at the largest point 12 inches in
circumference, and had 14 rattles. The
Plant system section hands killed an
other 6-foot rattler at Doctortown. It
carried 16 rattlers.

Young Women
The entry into womanhood is a
critical time for a girl. Little men
strual disorders started at that time soon
grow into fatal complications. That
female troubles are filling graveyards
proves this. Wine of Caidui estab
lishes a painless and natural menstrual
flow. When once this important func
tion is started right, a healthy life will
usually follow. Many women, young
and old, owe their lives to Wine of
Cardui. There is nothing like it to
give women freedom from pain and to
fit young women for every duty of life.
