reason that it is impossible to

no news astir, it is a hard task to
get up a live paper. While we
do not make the reference appli

truly said that “it is a physical
impossibility to get out a live

The bridge case of Forsyth vs.
Gwinnett was argued before the
Supreme court last Saturday.
Maj. Simmons, Cols. Peeples and
Brand appeared for Gwinuett,
while Forsyth’s interests were
looked after by Col. Hiram P.
Bell and Col. N. L, Hutchins, Jr.
The argument, pro' and con, was
full and complete, and covered
every point in the case. Inas
much as this is the first case of
the kind ever passed upon by the
Supteme court of Georgia mnch
interest has been aroused in it all
over the state, and the decision is
awaited with considerable anxiety
by other from Gwin
nett and Forsyth. One feature of
the case developed iu the argu
ment Saturday was notice from
the bridge company, through their
attorney, that they would resist
the reconstruction of the bridge
on the plea that “elements” were
excepted in the bond. The bridge
was swept away by water, which
is one of the “elements.” Thus
it is that Forsyth will have an
other law suit on her hands. Two
law suits and no bridge is a pretty
bad plight for our sister comity
to be in.

FOURTH OF .JULY EX
CURSIONS.
IJp-cotintry folks and down-country
folks need a shake-up at least once a
year. The shake-up might as well come
Fourth of July as any other day. Moun
tain folks need a dasli of seaside and
seaside folks need that peculiar some
thing'called “mountain air.” Fourth
of July is kind of a jolly affair anyhow.
Kverybody moves somewhere. The
querry.is where to go? The answer
is found in a glance at the Seaboard
Air Line system. From the waters of
the Chesapeake to the crags and deep
trout pools of the Blue Ridge.’ This
railroad will put on sale tickets pur
chasable of any agent, July 2nd, Hrd
and 4th and good to return on or be
fore July the 7th, at one and one third
fares for the round trip. Plenty of
people will be going, but ample ac
commodation will be provided that
there will be plenty of room for the
children—for the whole family. There
will be no struggle nor exhaustion in
cident upon crowding for those who
take their Fourth of July outing by
the Seaboard Air Line.
Remember, the Fourth of July comes
but once a year. It will neuer do to
miss the outing.
General Examination,
The examination of applicants

A CARD.
To the Citizens of Gwinnett County.
You have —many of yoy—given
the important subject of Life In
surance some careful considera
tion. Some of you have beeii
caught by crafty sharpers, repre
senting "wild cat” concerns, call
ing themseves insurance compa
nies. There are still others who
are, on general principles, "consci
entiously opposed to life insur
ance.” For the latter class es
pecially I entertain mingled feel
ings of respect and sympathy.
FIFE INSURANCE
is older than this government- The
oldest company iu America, the
Presbyterian Ministerial-Fund Life
Association, of Philadelphia, I’a.,
was founded in 1759, and is there
fore 140 years old. The great
blessings derived from life insur
ance have been poured out upon
this lana for over a century, and
still the blessings flow. Life In
surance is a science whicn is not
yet in the zenith of its glory, but
whose star is in the asceudency.
It needs no apologies, explanations
nor defence at my hands.
WHAT LIFE INSURANCE WILL DO.
It will pay debts. Help the
poor. Counteract vice. Educate
the children. Promote habits of
thrift. Buy food for the little
ones. Start young men in busi
ness. Build charitable institutions.
Lessen crime, and thus reduce tax
es. Relieve the family of intoler
able burdens Command the re
spect and admiration of men. In
spire the family with respect for
its head. Supply the constantly
increasing family needs. Lead'
men to he honest. Franklin said:
T perceive it. hard for me in want,
to he honest ” Fulfill the Scrip
ture: "Bear ye one another’s bur
dens,” “A good man leavetii an
inheritance." Sustain a man in
advanced life. Ninety men out
of a hundred at the age of sixty
have not saved enough to sustain
them. Life insurance offers the
easiest and safest provision for old
age. Prevent untold suffering of
sensitive families once in good cir
cumstances, but at the death of
their head, left homeless and pen
niless Make better Christians.
One can be a better Christian with
debts paid and money iu hand.
Keep people out of asylums and
prisons. Reduce pauperiem in a
community. Prevent business
failures. Keep the family united.
Enrich the community. Restrain
drunkenness. Shelter the family.
Stimulate economy. Clothe the
children. Ward off sickness. Ease
the mind. Save homes.
THE IOWA LIFE
Is an old line company, 18 years
old. It is just old enough to have
fully passed the experimental pe
riod of its career, and not aged
enough to have become hampered
by antequated risks, whose fast
ebbing lives would run up its death
rate. It is full of new blood, new
life and vigor. Its ratio of assets ;
to liabilities is 117%. It writes
all forms of Life or Endowment
policies, at reasonable rates, and
all of its contracts are amply se
cured by a deposit of approved se
curities, placed in the vaults of the
state of lowa, equal to their full
reserve value.
PERSONALLY
I may be unknown to most of
Gwinnett’s people. My home is
in Madison, Morgan county, where
1 have resided all my life. Refer
you to Mayor W. A. Broughton,
of Madison, or any of Morgan’s
county officials. I shall be among
you only one more week,and would
be glad to interest every citizen of
the county in the important mat
ter of life insurance. Delay not,
for life’s fitful fever may soon be
over.
“death rides
On evety passing breoze and lurks
in every flower.” Who knows
when the “pale rider on a white
horse” may tap at your door?
“Be ye also ready”—ready spirit
i ually and ready financially. Pro

pendent upon you by taking a
