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.

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.

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. Sample bottles at Bagwell’s Drug Store, Lawrenceville; Smith and Harris, Suwanee: R. O. Medlock, Norcross. 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. (to HE Co.NriNUKI).) ATI.ANTA.tia . Aug. 24, HKK). Hon. J.

I also note with a great deal of pleasure the interest your paper is taking in all educational matters in the county. I hope you will continue to publish Prof. Bailey’s papers especially. He has revolutionized the rural dis trict school in New York State. Y'ours very truly, G. R. Glenn, State School Commissioner. 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 by Bagwell Drug 00. OABTOniA. Buntiu Tha Kind You Ha*e Always Bought 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. The bank i-> beautifully finished 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 lars for any case of Defness caus ed by catarrh that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O. Bold by Druggists, 75c. Hall’s Family Pills are the best. inside with corrugated steel ceil ing, and all the latest modern im 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.
