The Northwestern utuai Life Insurance Co.
t
Our Georgia business for 1910 was quite interesting. We paid Georgia Policy-Holders in 1910 very
snug sums, as follows: : :
We paid LIVING Policy-Holders for Matured Endowments
and Surrenders............................................................................................. $ 128 , 000.00
We paid LIVING Policy-Holders for Dividends.............................. $ 167 , 000.00
We paid Death Losses........................................................................................... $ 183 , 000.00
Total Payments to Policy-Holders..................................... $ 478 , 000.00
We Loaned in Georgies................................................................................ i $ 587 , 000.00
1 , 065 , 000.00
This is considerably more than $400,000.00 in excess of all premiums collected last year in Georgia..
We have been quietly doing this for many years, until we have between $7,000,000 and $8,000,000 in mortgages and other
good Georgia, securities. This is a. sum much larger than the value of all its Georgia, policies.
There has not been, we believe, a year in many years when sur investments in Georgia, and payments to Georgia policy-
holders have not far exceeded the premiums collected from our Georgia policv-holders.
The Northwestern is not only the great policy-holders’ compsny, but is as well a great Georgia policy-holders* company.
The Assets January 1,1911..................... ...$ 273,813.036

Double Show At
Lyric Theatre
The Dog and Pony show at the
Lyric, under the direction of Iran-
ces Williams, which has been *x-
hibiting since Monday, has proven
such an interesting and highly en¬
tertaining performance that the
management has contracted to keep
them for the remainder of the
week, with “liobzart” as an addi¬
tional feature.
“Robzart” does an act different
from anything that has been shown
here, taking at the same time the
character of both woman and man.
His make-up is in keeping with
the role he plays, and in every
way the stunt is quite a novelty
and one that pleases. Don’t fail
to see “Robzart”, he makes his
lirst appearance tomorrow night.
Another new feature at the Ly¬
ric are the vocal solos of “Kid
Waters, who although an voice, amateur and
singer, has an excellent
his rendition of some of the latest
song hits this week has been very
much enjoyed.

W. C. T. U. Meeting.
The W. C. T. U. met at Mrs.E.
D Stone’s on Feb. 10th. After the
devotional exercises and the dis¬
cussion of some important busi¬
ness the topic of the afternoon—
“ Woman’sSuftrage”—was discuss-
ed.
One item in the Saturday Eve¬
ning Post shows that woman must
take a back seat, simply because
she is a woman. The Academy of
Science of France has decided
that Madame Currie, who, with
her husband, invented radium, and
who, since her husband’s death, is
taxing woman’s brains to follow
her experiments, cannot become
a member of that organization
because she is a woman, and tradi¬
tion says she must not. Not many
men or women of to-day venture
to say that politics is too deep a
subject for woman’s brain; but
their principal objection to wo¬
man’s voting is woman’s place in
the home.
Mrs. Maud Nathan, who has been
a housekeeper for 25 years, says
there is not a department in my
housekeeping that is not affected
by politics. The immigration
question affects the servant propo¬
sition; the tariff' question the prices
of the materials which we buy to
furnish our homes.
Municipal politics force itself
upon our attention daily. If the
streets are not clean our homes
cannot be clean. If garbage is left
in the back yard or alley the home
cannot be kept in a sanitary con¬
dition. If the meat that comes to
our tables from slaughter , , houses
that are filthy because the inspec-
tors are remiss in their duty,
what redress has the non-voting
housekeeper? The women are tax-
ed for everything-the water we
drink, the food we eat, the cloth-
ing we wear—for everything, and
then we are told that taxation with-
out representation is tyranny.
Other items of equal interest
were discussed, and the meeting
was enjoyed bv all present,
The next meeting will be held at
Mrs. Roman’s on Feb. 24th.
