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. RECEIVER’S SALE.

Rii.Joe Broughton, B. F. McDuffie, J . N. Cawhorn, Committee. 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 for license to teach will he held on Thursday, June 22nd, beginning at 6a. m. and closing at 6 p. m. This Will be the only opportunity to stand the examination during 1899. W. T. Tanner, C. s. c. 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.
