WHY you should insure in the
“OLD RELIABLE”
MANHATTAN LIFE
INSURANCE COMPANY
of New York.
HENRY B. STOKES, President.
First —It Is An Old Company.
Other things being equal, an old companp is to be pre
ferred, as it has had a chance to prove itself and make a record
by which it can be judged. “The Old Manhattan” has made
its record, to which todav it points with pride.
Second — It Is A Clean Company.
In the fifty years of its existence, no breach of scandal has
been directed towards it; no questionable practices have been
entered into by its management, and no examination of its
books or accounts has shown cause for criticism.
Third —lt Is A Just Company.
We judge a company as we do a man. What are its morals?
When other companies deserted the Southern Policy-holder,
and used both the money he had contributed towards their
success, and their influence to destroy him, the Manhattan
stayed firm as a rock—“ Justice” was their motto.
See what a distinguished statesman of Georgia says:
STATE OF GEORGIA,
Treasury Department. Atlanta Ga., May 12, 1891.
Why Mr. Hardeman had a policy in the Manhattan Life.
Maj. Jos. H. Morgan, Special Agent, Atlanta, Ga.
Dear Sir: As agent of the Manhattan Life Insrauce Company of
New York, it affords me pleasure to say to you that my father was in
sured in your company, and by reason of the late war, he was unable
to reach your company and pay his premiums as they fell due; and
that after the cessation of hostilities, my father having died during
the war, your company has paid to my mother the amount of his
policy less the amount of premium unpaid.
Yours truly,
(Signed) R. U. Harlem an, State Treasurer,

POPULIST FUNERAL SONG.
The Pops have met in Lawrence
ville.
They had a great big speakin’,
They say the money is oozin’ out,
And want to stop the leakin’.
The booses had ter make a speech ;
They told the same old story;
But when election day shall come
They’ll take their flight for
glory.
“Now, Secretary, get your peu,
And go to makin’ Aggers,
We’ll scoop in all Republicans
And gulp down all the niggers.”
The Secretary made a speech,
Said he was growing bigger.
He hoped to fuse Republicans
Aud captivate the nigger.
The bosß6sthey were workin’ hard,
Their candidates a choosin’.
‘‘Now, boys, jest bring yer niggers
in
An’ get ’em down ter fusin’.
The boys are very hopeful now
That they will rule the natiou;
The bosses say they’re “truly glad
To see such demonstration.”
They yelled, they howled, they
cried aloud.
Just like they’d had a spasm.
The bosses said, “There’s nothing
wrong—
It 9 just enthusiasm 1”
When idiots and infants die
They go direct to heaven ;
So this includes the Populists—
They died at the age of seven.
Now, dear Pops, your race iB run ;
You didn’t get the boodle;
But in the resurrection morn
You just siug “Yankee Doodle.”
—J. D. Whaley.
ROBBED THE GRAVE.
A startling incident, of wihch
Mr. John Oliver of Philadelphia,
was the subject, is narrated by him
a 8 follows: “I was in a most
dreadful condition. My skiu was
almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue
coated, pain continually in back
and sides, no appetite—gradually
growing weaker day by day. Three
physicians had given me up. For
tunate, a friend advised trying
‘Electric Bitters;’ aud to my great
joy aud surprise, the first bottle
made a decided improvement. I
continued their use for three weeks
and am now a well man. I know
they saved my life, and robbed the
grave of another victim.” No one
should fail to try them. Only 50
cts. guaranteed, at A. M. Winn
>fe Sou’s Drug Store.
KILLIAN HILL.
Cotton is beginning to open.
The little child ot Mr. and Mrs.
D. V. Jones is improving, after a
severe illness.
Fodder pullitig is now on hand,
and the hot sun makes it warm
for the boys.
Our people have been attending
services at Luxomni this week.
The little Misses Johnson, of
Atlanta, are spending a few weeks
with their sister, Mrs. Mattie Lee,
at this place.
To the Braden correspondent:
Ybb, Brewster is incorporated and
doing a flouri-hing business. Dr.
J. L. Lee is mayor, with E. L.
Lee, T. T. Jones, T. M. Lee, G.
E. Lunsford, J. J. Lee as council
men, and L. E. Jones chief of
police. No blind tigers, office
seekers, nor Chinese laundry men
allowed in town without special
permission.
Joe Britt was very seriously hurt
a few days ago. He was standing
near where a blast was being made,
aud a large rock, weighing ten or
twelve pounds, struck him a
glancing lick on the head, doing
him, it is feared, a fatal injury.
The old Nash grave yard at this
place needs cleaning off very bad
ly. Its a shame for our people to
let it stay in such condition. Lets
appoint a day before we get too
busy in our crops, and clean it off,
We would like to ask the Bra
den correspondent how deep the
Populist candidates will be buried
in October.
DOES IT PAY TO BUY CHEAP?
A cheap remedy for coughs and
colds is all right, but you want
something that will relieve and
cure the more severe and danger
ous results of throat and lung
troubles. What shall you do? Go
to a warmer and more regular cli
mate? Yes, if possible. If not
possible for you, then in either
case take the only remedy that
has been introduced iu all civilized
countries with success in severe
throat and lung troubles, “Bos
chee’s German Syrup.” It not
only heals and stimulates the tis
sues to destroy the germ disease,
but allays inflamation, causes easy
expectoration, gives a good night’s
rest, and cures the patient. Try
one bottle. Recommended many
years by all druggists in the world.

EDUCATIONAL.
Hints on Rural School srounds.
PROF. HAILEY, CORNELL UNIVERSITY.
GENERAL REMARKS.
More than one-third of all
public schools will probably
always be in the country. They
will have most intimate relations
with rural life. We must make
that life attractive to the pupils.
In Europe there are school gar
dens, and similar plans are rec
ommended for this country. It is
certainly desirable that some area
be set aside for the actual cultiva
tion of plants by the childeru.and
for the growing of specimens to be
used in the schoolroom. However
the conditions of Europe are very
different from ours. In the rural
school in Germany and other
countries, the schoolhouse is the
teacher’s home. He lives in it or
by it. The summer vacation is
short. Iu thiscountry,there is no
one to care for the rural school
ground in the long summer vaca
tion. Teachers change frequently.
It is impossible to have uniformity
and continuity of purpose. In
the Old World, the rural schools
are in the hamlets.
We shall be very glad to corres
pond with auy persons who are
interested iu improving school
premises, either on the lines herein
suggested, or in other directions.
The imporvement must come, or,
one by oue the rural schools will
die out for lack of pupils. In the
struggle for existence, the pupils
will more and more seek the more
attractive schools. There must be
rural schools, whether iu the open
country or in the hamlet; and
wherever they are, they must be
cheered and brightened.
A Flower day every October
would be a fitting complement of
Arbor day. Already flower shows
have been held iu various rura l
schools. They are symbols of the
harvest. We want to focalize
this movement iu the coming year.
We call upon every citizen for
sympathy and co-operation.
HOW TO PLANT TREES.
The very best thing that you
can do, to begin, is to look about
you and see w at varieties of trees
grow and thrive naturally, spon
taneously, in your neighborhood.
It is unwise, without special knowl
edge of conditions, to attempt to
make grow, in our streets or in
our schoolhouse yards or other
public grounds, trees which be
long to another country and an
other climate. Your nurseyman
cannot fiud for you in Europe or
Asia any tree more beautiful than
our native trees.
And yet you must not suppose,
simply because you fiud a certain
species of tree or shrub handsome
and abundant in the woods near
you, that it will do well for you
by the wayside or iu a yard. Some
of our most common trees do not
take kindly to transplanting.
Among these are most species and
varieties of the oak. To bring a
white oak t<> perfection would need
a great deal more of care and at
tention than auy Arbor-duy plant
er would be likely to have at his
disposal.
If you plant an oak at all let it
be, in the North, a red oak or a
black oak; or, in the South, a live
oak or a water-oak. In any case,
it should be as small us can easily
be protected.
Nor would it be well for Arbor
day planters to attempt to man
age the white pine.
But we are exceedingly fortu
nate in having, all through the
Northern and Eastern portions of
this country, two trees which are
easily transplanted, easily pro
tected and easily cared for, which
will thrive well on the street or iu
public grounds if they are taken
care ot, and which are as beautiful
as any tree that grows. These are
! the American, elm and the sugar
| maple. Almost as good as the
sugar maple are the white or soft
maple and the red maple.
Iu the South we are almost
T I
highly favored in the live-oak ai j
wat* r-oak, and the splendid mag
nolia.

Faots For The Historian.
The New Orleans Pioayuue quot
es from a report prepared by
Brigadier General C. H. Tebault,
M. D., surgeon general of the Uni
ted Confederate Veterans, the fol
lowing facte relating to the Con
federacy that will no doubt be
taken into proper account by the
future uon-partisan American his
torian :
It was estalished that of the
thirty four states aud territories
only eleven seceded; that in these
eleven states the men of military
age, from 18 tu4s years, numbered
1,064,198, inclusive of lame, halt,
blind, etc. On the Union aide the
same class numberd 4,550,872 over
four to one, without estimating the
consant accessions from the world
at large augmenting monthly the
Union side, and thus approaching,
if not exceeding, five to one against
the South
In the Atlanta report, from
unquestionable authority, I show
ed that the United States in eulis
ed men uumberd 2,865,028 and the
Confederate States not exceeding
600,000; that the Confederates lost
over 9 per cent., and the Federate
4.7 percent., the heaviest losses of
any modern armies. From offi
cial data, it was shown that 250.000
Federal prisoners were reluctant
ly held in Southern prisons, while
220,000 Coufedretate prisoners, in
spite of the best efiorts of the South
were oonfiued and held in North
ern prisons; that of the Federal
prisoners whose exchange was
refused on the part of their gov
ernment and thus held inConfeder
ate hands, only 28,570 died, and
that of the Confederate prisoners
held by the United States, regard
less of all efforts looking to ex
change on the part of the South,
20,486 died evidencing that while
the percentum of Federal deaths
in Southern prisons was under 9,
the percentum of Confederate
deaths in Northern prisons, was
over 12, proclamiug a loss of death
of more than 8 per cent, of Con
federate over Federal* in prisons,
while the Federals had an inex
haustible supply of everything.
These figures, which were taken
from the Federals and Confederate
official records, increase one's
wonder th*t the ill-fated but heroic
Confederacy should have held out
so long Of especial interest are the
facts as to the prisoners taken by
the two sides, particularly iu view
of the tempest of Northern wrath
whhh was not appeased without
the execution of Captain Werz,
keeper of theAndersouvilleprison.
It it clear that there was neglect
of prisoners on both sides of the
line, but there is more excuse
for the hard-pressed, impoverished
and almost tarveng Confederacy.
During the civil war, as well as iu
our late war with Spain diarrhoea
was one of the most troublesome
diseases the army had to contend
with. In many instances it became
chronic and the oid soldiers still
suffer from it. Mr. David Taylor
of Wind Ridge, Greene Co., Pa.,
is one of these. He uses Chamberr
lain’s Colic, Cholera and Diair
hoea Remedy and says he never
found anythiug that would give
him such quick relief. It is for sale

LAWRENCEVILLE, GEORGIA.
The beautiful little town of Law
renceville, situated on the Sea
board Air Line, about thirty-five
miles from Atlanta, is fast coming
to the front, and has made many
improvements in the last few
years. The present population of
about a thousand will be consid
erably augn,anted when the splen
did new cotton factory gets into
operation, about the first of the
year.
From County Commissioner J.
P. Byrd, one of the most success
ful aud wealthy citizens of Law
r»nceville, I learned that the as
sessed value of Gwinnett county
is $8,215,225, showing an increase
of $160,000 since last year. Mr.
Byrd is a native of Gwinnett and
has been in busiuess for the past
twenty-five years—general mer
chandise
Gwinnett, oue of the best coun
ties in the state, has a population
of about 25,000, voting population
of 4,500, always democratic.
The Board of Directors of the
Gwinnett Cotton Mills are the
most influential and wealthiest
citizens of the county. The best
of all, they are home people, and
uot foreign capita’. The $50,000
subscribed capital is expected to
soon increase to SIOO,OOO. The
product will be cotton yarn, with
a beginning of 4,000 spindles. Ev
erybody is sanguine of success,and
it is expected that the cotton
mills will be followed by many
other industries, and that Law
renceville will become a manufac
turing town.
M. S.Cornett, president of the
new cotton mills, is a young man
who has been successful in his ev
ery business venture. As I heard
a gentleman remark, that every
thing that Mr. Cornett touched
turned to gold. The young presi
dent of the mills was born near
Hamilton, Harris county, Georgia,
May 2nd, 1864, came to Lawronce
ville nearly nineteen years ago,
owns an extensive livery business.
Recently he purchased the Ewing
Hotel, a handsome piece of prop
erty on the public square, the pop
ular headquarters for traveling
men. Mr. Cornett is a member
of the Methodist church, and also
au Odd Fellow.
W. M. Sasser, vice president of
the cotton mills and cashier of the
Bank of Lawrenceville, which was
organized in 1897, and which has
been such a splendid success, aud
so ably financiered, was born in
Merriwether county in 1859. He
was here at the organization of the
hank, which took place September
16, 1897, with $15,000 capital. Ow
ing to Mr. Sasser’s skillful man
agement, the bank has increased
in popularity every day since it
opened its doors to the public.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE
CURED
by local applications, as they
cannot reach the diseaed portion
of the ear. There is only one way
to cure deafuess, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an infiamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eusta
chian Tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result, and unless the inflam
mation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal con
dition hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of teu are
caused by catarrh,which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the
mucous sufuces.
We will give One Hundred Dol

ed by catarrh that cannot be cured

provements in the way of safe-fix
tures, etc. This is one of Presi
dent Witham’s “thirty-two banks,
about which much has been writ
ten, and his “Outing” to the cash
iers.
J. H. Duggan, secretary and
treasurer of the cotton mills, hails
from the county of Washington,
though a native of Burke, was
born July 22nd, 1870. He has
been given a very responsible po
sition for so young a man, which
is a high compliment to his busi
ness ability.
Messrs. Simmons and Brand are
distinguished lawyers who are
known throughout tqe state.
T. P. Townley, the well-known
planing mill owner, informed me
that he had had a contract with
Mr. Van Winklo to build a cotton
seed oil mill, provided the Sea
board had been built opposite to
where it lies, which consequently
fell throngh. Mr. Townley, who
has been in the building material
and repairing business here for
twenty-five years, was born iu
Gwinnett county in 1880, aud has
seen Lawronceville grow up from
a very small village He took it
upon himself to go to Roswell to
see Mr. King to get him interested
iu bnildiitg a cotton mill here
years ago.
The stock of the Gwinnett mills
wuh sold in small shares, and I
think there aie about eighty stock
holders Mr. J. P. Byrd takes
great interest in the mill, of which
he is a stockholder.
Lawrenceville has a very fine
bar, the ability of which has been
acknowledgdd before the Supreme
court of Georgsa. Judge Hutch
ins, who was for sixteen years on
the bench, has long been the ac
knowledged leader of the Law
renceville bar. Messrs. Simmons,
Peeples and Brand have a splendid
practice.
In talking with Lawrenceville’s
popular post master Mr. W. C.
Cole, who was first appointed un
der President Harrison’s adminis
tration, I learned that he (Mr.
Cole) had lived seven years in
Rutherford county, the writer’s
home county, of which Murfesboro
is the county seat- Though of op
posite politics to the people he
serves, he has made a good post
master, and has always been
prompt and obliging, and per
formed all the duties of the office
in the most cheerful mauner. Mr.
Cole took charge of the office for
the second time May Ist, 1897.
Ex-Postmaster General Wanna
maker gave a strong letter to Mr,
McKinley urging his appointment.
During Wannamaker’s adminis
tration Mr. Cole was appointed in
spector of all the post offices iu
Gwinnett county, which service
he performed in so thorough and
systematic a manner, paying his
own expenses iu the meantime,
that Mr. Wannamaker saw fit to
commend him publicly forhis ser
vices, and this is how he got the
second appointment. Mr. Cole is
a native of Lawrenceville, was
born June 14, 1842. He was a
gallant Confederate soldier, four
years iu the army, fought two
years under Lougstreet and two
years iu the army of Tennessee.
“The mill of the gods grind slow
ly, yet exceedingly small.” lam
reminded of the recent mob in
New York. Later will come that
just retribution, punishment for
those who wronged us and defraud
ed us, even so as you violate a
moral or physical law you pay the
penalty.
Wishing the handsome little
town of Lawrenceville all the good
luck that can come to mortals, I
am Respectfully,
Mrs. M T. W.
Atlanta, Aug. 20.
