In Memonam.*
- The Parsonage Society of the First
Methodist church, Gainesville, through
its authorized committee, craves the
privilege of offering- its tribute of lov
ing regard to the memory of Mrs. Mary
Bell Gardner, who, after being in a
state of declining health for several
months, suddenly fell asleep in Jesus
about midday of. February 25, 1899.
Truly; many hearts throughout Georgia
as wen as in Gainesville mourn the de
parture of this good woman, v for she
was one of .nature’s gentlewomen^ pos
sessed of many bright traits of charac-
ter that served to make her useful and
appreciated and her influence a potent
factor for good wherever her lot was
cast. After the death, of her noble
Husband, one of the most efficient mem
bers of , the North Georgia conference,
she made her home in Gainesville and
thoroughly identified herself with its
every interest. Her experience as the
wife of a Methodist itinerant well fit
ted her for active service in all depart
ments of church work. While she
proved recreant to notone of the many
duties of her home and school room,
she willingly, cheerfully—nay, joyously
devoted much of her time and talents,
labor and earnings to the cause of fur
thering the cause of her Master’s work;
in the Sabbath school and in both Mis-
sionary and Parsonage . Societies con
nected with her own church. Up f to
the very time of her translation to the
Heayenly Kingdom, she was an active*
earnest member of all three of these
church organizations. Nowhere will
she be more sadly missed than at the
monthly meetings of the Parsonage
; S6ciety, when her very presence
seemed to her co-laborers a benediction.
They will never forget her; fidelity

On Case.
Known in insurance circles as the “Policy Holders^ Company, ” which
for 52 years has led in many forward and up-to-date movements in
the way of liberalizing insurance contracts has recently adopted the
most liberal contract yet written by old line companies. Afterdate
all policies will contain the following clause:
This policy I s absolutely incontestable from date of
issue for any cause, except non-payment of premium.
This radical departure has not been taken without • weighty consideration.
As you will readily appreciate, it makes our policy a world-wide contract, free
from all conditions as to residence, occupation, travel, habits of life, and as to
ifranner, time or place of death. No permit or extra premium is required for
military or naval service either in time of peace or in time of war. All this is
freely ^conceded without any increase in the premium charged,, and with the
usual stipulations covering automatic; extension, paid-up insurance, cash or loan
values, and without any requirement, as to the accu mulation of dividends, which
may.be used in reduction of the premium if preferred. Taking into considera
tion the increasedpremiumnow charged by other companies which have recently
liberalized their contracts, the policy just autherized by our Board of Trastees
surpasses in all its features any now issued by any other company, and is an
indication of the purpose of the management not to be second m point of
liberality where such liberality is entirely consistent with safety. The officers
of this-company mean to keep it aggressively to the front. Placing in their
hands the most attractive and safe contract of life insurance, the management
has a'right to expect that the business of the company will at once be largely
increased. Throughout fifty-two years the institution has acquired a deserved
reputation for honest administration in the interest of policyholders; for abun
dant caution in all its transactions; and in now introducing the largest and
fullest expression of an np-to-date insurance contract it hopes and expects to
command instant approval at the hands of the insuring public and the existing
membership. ' ' ■
