From jf 15 toJIOO per cent Greater Than Those of Other Life Insurance Companies. TXOrJ^TE BEFORE 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 policy he is considering. If he will do this and then compare such dividends with those of the NORTHWESTERN MUTUAL he will make no mistake in getting the best. The Northwestern is willing to show its dividends to anybody at any time. Don’t let the Agent do all the talking and figuring, do 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! If 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. Capt. E. J. O’Connor, of Augusta, Ga., was insured Sept. 29th, 1892, at the age of 47 in the Northwestern on Ordinary Life Plan for $10,000. Annual Premiums $418.50. All dividends used to reduce cost ol insurance. U YEAR. DIVIDEND.

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 dividend in cash and paying ONLY §7.50 more that I could carry $2,000 more on the SAME PLAN, and 1 immediately applied for and have re ceived a policy tor §2,000 on the same plan, thus giving me §10,000 insurance for only $7,50 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. CrlRA-H-A-IVi: EDWARD J. COSTELLO, Manager Eastern Georgia Department.

The trustees should either move tbe Swainsboro High School to the river or dig a well. -Its a public shame tnat there should be no well on the grounds. The pupils cannot be expected to do without water, and it’s a great hardship on the teachers, as well as the community around the Academy, for the chil dren to have to run about getting water wherever they can. If the county and town authorities are too everlastingly narrow-minded to fur nish a public well in the town, the trustees of the school should see to it that water is supplied for the pu-j pils and teachers. j A sad death occurred at the home j of Hon.
