What is life woith? This is a
question in which every man is di¬
rectly concerned. A few fleeting
years, yes. possibly months, days,
or hours, and life is no more. Then
we have no time to lose. First of
all,prepare for eternity; next duty
is the care of your family. How
arc* you going to provide for them?
By eagerly grasping riches; by
hoarding up lands, vast acres to
acres: by packing your safe with
notes, deeds, mortgages, all to be
forced to sale by an administrator
executor, or guardian, bringing
about fifty cents in the dollars
Don’t you think it better to act
as your own administrator, shap¬
ing up your business, placing
your investments in a Life Policy,
paying you a reasonable compound
interest; and when death comes
there is ready cash to sustain your
family when they most need it. If
you are a laboring man, you may
say, “I think life Insurance a good
thing, and would like to have a
policy, but I will need all my mon¬
ey or income, and have none to
spare in the way of paying preiums
If it is hard on you for your family
to get along now, how do you think
your family could move along,
should the source of income be en¬
tirely shut off by your removal in
death? Don’t you think your fami¬
ly would need the money a great
deal more, should they be left alone
than they need it while you are with
them? I think you will answer yes.
Then why delay the matter?

the colored people of our town at the
courthouse last Monday night upon
the political issue of the day. Col.

made the best speech of the two.

Hudson Bros.
Mr. Coleman Bights Himself.
Edito s Banner: — I was very
much surprised on seeing in the
last issue of the Solid South my
name used in a very unwarranted
manner. I demanded of the editor
his authority for saying that I ever
wrote anything over the non de
plume of “Hard Nut” and “Practi¬
cal Farm r.” He refused to give
me his authority. The responsi¬
bility therefore rests on him. The
other aliases by which he saw prop
er to call me used at a time when
we were friendly and I might say
were for his benefit and were also
encouraged by him. To give them
to the public when he fancies an in¬
jury, or even in the face of a real
injury, is, to say the least of it, a
very ungentlemanly act. There is
such a thing as honorable combat
and then there is such a thing as
striking a foe beneath the belt, so
to speak, and this all gentlemen con¬
demn. Bearing these things in
mind, before an honest public, and
not wishing to enter into a news¬
paper controversy with such an un¬
worthy foe, 1 therefore refuse to
have anything further to do with the
matter, remembering at the same
time, “that he that lieth down with
dogs must get up with fleas on him.”
Begging the indulgence and for¬
giveness of a generous fair minded
public, I am, Yours truly,
J. I. Coleman

L : fe to most of us, is dear indeed,
yet you can see many young and old
people, who seem to have no object
in life—-simply drifting along on the
sea oft'me, and seemingly caring
not where they may land. Many
o'.hers seem only to want to prosper
on earth, w’thout regard for ri&h:,
God 0 * Heaven. Neither class are
happy.
