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 Mr. E. S. Wiley Dead. Mr. E. S. Wiley, one Of the best known citizens of Gainesville and one of t^e oldest merchants of. the city, died at his home on Bradford street at 5.30 o’clock Thursday morning after an illness of §nly a few days.

Petition for Executive Clemency Present- to Governor Candler by Col. J. O., Adams East Monday. Prison Commission Will Act 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.
