Guards Stood the'Tost.
Inspector General W. G. Obear
was in the Icity last Thursday
night, and inspected the Candler
Horse Guards. This troop has
been on probation for [almost a
year and the boys were on their
mettle at the inspection last
Thursday night. They were de
termined to stand a satisfactory
examination, and it is gratifying
to them that they measured up to
the requirements of the inspector.
He stated that their equipments
were cleaner and in better shape
than any troop he had recently
inspected, and the number in at
tendance upon the drills and the
interest manifested waB sufficient
to put them in good standing once
more. Several members of Tthe
troop will accompany the in
spector when he goes to Dahlonega
to inspect the battalion of; cadets
there.
Confessions of a Priest.
Rev* Jno. 8.* Cox, of Wake, Ark.,
writes, “For 12 years I suffered from
Yellow Jaundice. I consulted a num
ber of physicians and tried all sorts of
medicines, but got no relief. Then I
beemn the use of Electric Bitters and
feel that I am now cured of a disease
that had me in its grasp for twelve
years.” If you want a reliable medi
cine for Liver and Kidney trouble,
stomach disorder or general debility,
get Electric Bitters. It’s guaranteed

ITEMS OF INTEREST.
It has be«n often stated that 60
miles an hour was the utmost rate
at which a swallow could fly. Re
cent exDeriments upon Compeigne
and Antwerp proved that a swal
low in a hurry can cover 128J
miles m an hour.
When feeding, the stride of aD
ostrich is from twenty to twenty-

Originally the common or do
mestic goat was a native of the
lighlands of Asia. Naturalists
generally regard it as having de

the Caucasus mountains and the

Persian language the pesang.
QThe life insurance question . is no
longer whether a ' man should, insure,
but simply the best company in which
to insure.
Life insurance ebusiness has in onr
day attained vast proportions, and
many people who formerly gave but
little heed to the subject are now' deep
ly interested.
Unfortunately with the march of
time the life insurance business has
become very complicated and expen
sive, and the average person either has
not the money to pay the annual prem
iums, or has not the ability or time to
study out the plans of the average poli
cy offered by an insurance agent.
WHY CANNOT A NUMBER OF PEOPLE BAND
TOGETHER IN A COMMUNITY?
This is a natural question. Why
cannot a number of people in a com
munity band together, and at the
death of a member, each member pay a
certain sum to the beneficiary? The
economy of such a plan would be very
great; the money would be kept in the
community and insurance would be re
duced to a minimum. This question
which has occurred to many a man has
been completely answered by the Mu
tual Life Insurance Association of Geor
gia. This organization, chartered by
the laws of the state of Georgia, has
been organizing Life Insurance divis
ions in this state for the last sixteen
months, following out the plans under
successful operation in the state of
Pennsylvania, and several of the south
ern states,
THE PLAN
is the simplest and most natural. The
.state is divided into a number of divis
ions, each division being made up of
one or more counties. These divisions
are each officered by the best men in
counties where tbe diyisions are orga
nized, and the money with which to pay
the death claims is kept in trust by an
accredited and bonded officer in each
of the divisions, so that in the event of
a death the money is right at home
with which to pay . the claim and each
community has the advantage in the
first place of knowing exactly the state
of the division in the way of member*
ship, but he also realizes that the small
amount paid out by him goes to pay
the widow and orphan of a neighbor or
friend.
The plan originated in Philadelphia
twenty-two years ago and has been op
erated in Pennsylvania, Virginia and
North Carolina with success. The an
cient order of Foresters established in
1835 is alive with a membership of 168,-
000 and an average death rate of 12.1
per 1,000 members. The objections to
the mutual or fraternal order of insur
ance have long since been exploded
and this class of insurance is now re
garded as not only the cheapest but al
so as the safest and most reliable. The
only institutions in any country, inde
pendent of the state, that have at
tained the age of one hundred years
are fraternal or mutual, or mutual or
ders.
THE RESULTS.
In sixteen months, without noise or
advertising, the Mutual Life Insurance
Association of Georgia has issued more
than eight thousand policies among the
best people in the state, and is repre
sented in forty-four counties, and ap
plications are coming in from all over
the state to organize more divisions.
INSURANCE AT COST.
That the Mutual Life Insurance As
sociation of Georgia furnishes insur
ance at actual cost is further evidenced
by the fact that a distinction—a slight
one—is made between the county and
city divisions. In the latter the actual
expenses are necessarily higher and
for that reason in city divisions an ex
tra dollar is charged in each class for
initiation fee in order to pay the med
ical examiner and other necessary ex
penses, and for a similar reason a uni
form charge of ®1.50 annual dues is
levied on each member. In every in
stance thirty days of grace is given
each member to pay the mortuary as
sessment or the annual dues.
The By-Laws give full particulars of
the working of each division, and the
Mutual Life Insurance Association of
Georgia points with much satisfaction
to successful record of benevolence,
giving protection at home, at a nominal
cost to our widows and orphans.
ENTIRE COST IN THE ASSOCIATION.
Initiation fee, first annual dues and
one advance assessment:
At ages from 16 to 30 A $3.00
At ages from 30 to 40 B .$4.00
At ages from 40 to 50 C $5.00
At ages from 50 to 60 D $6.00
These amounts are paid only one
time. One year from the date of poli
cy and annually thereafter, the annual
dues are:
Class A 75
Class B .1.00
Class C 1.25
Class D 1.50
When a death occurs in a division
each member of that division is assess
ed $1.15. As long as there is no death
in a division, do assessment is made
and beyond the annual dues which re
main the same as at age of entry, no
monthly assessments are made as is
the case with so many assessment com
panies. In the Mutual of .Georgia, the
principal laid down is: No death in a
division, no assessment because none
is needed, and each division is respon
sible only for the deaths in that divis
ion.
In city divisions one dollar extra is
charged for initiation fees, and the an
nual dues are fixed at $1.50 for all
classes.

Left-Handed Compliment.
President Francis, of tbe St.
Louis Exposition, was a busy man
in his suite of rooms at CJaridge’e
hotel in London, says the New
York Tribune. He was besieged
from morning till night with vis
itors. A young American tourist
quoted recently a story that Mr.
Francis told at a dinner party to
the PriDce of Wales. The tourist
said: “Mr. Francis stated that
two clergymen had exchanged
pulpits for a Sunday. Oue o
them, after he had finished
preaching before his unfamiliar
congregation, was accosted by an
old woman.
“ ‘Where, sir,* she said, ‘is our
own preacher?’
«. «He has exchanged with me,’
said the clergyman. ‘He is
preaching to my people today.’
“ ‘Well, they’ll have a treat,*
she muttered.”
