Georgia's Best Fraternal
Insurance Company for ।
the Colored People.
Comptroller General Wright, the
State Insurance Commissioner, has
called the Knights of Moses Benevo
lent and Fraternal Insurance Associ
ation of Alamo, Georgia, the best fra
ternal insurance company in the State
for the colored people, with A. L,
Spaulding of this county as Supreme
Knight Secretary.
This Association has just shown its
great worth and absolute reliability by
the following state of facts:—T. W.
Williams of Mcßae, Ga., joined the
Order on the 23rd day of July, 1914,
and took out a $200.00 policy on his
life. He died on the 14th day of
August, 1914, and his wife was paid
$200.00, the full face of the policy, by
Supreme Knight Secretary, A. L.
Spaulding, on September 20th, 1914.
This record has never been equalled in
Gaorgia. Truly the European war
and the hard times do nst interfere
with this fraternal insurance associ
ation. Ail persons interested should sit |
up and take notice and remember that'
such an insurance association deserves
the good will and support of all good '
people in the countrv-
Wheeler county is justly praud of its I
Colored Fraternal Insurance Associ ■
ation. The name of A. L. Spaulding
is too well known to be connected with
any thing but the best. He is behind
this Insurance Association with all
there is in him and this guarantees
absolute success and should insure the
confidence of all the people. Reverend
A. H. Holmes of Helena, Ga., a prom
inent official in this Insurance Asso
ciation, takes a leading part in this
order and preached the funeral of the
said T. W. Williams to a large crowd, !
and made a lasting impression. About
100 members of the Order heard the
funeral oration of Rev. Holmes and
took part in the funeral ceremony.
This Association was founded by the
Spaulding Brothers; its tenants and
benefits are expounded by Supreme
Knight Commander, Rev. S. T. Redd,
Savannah, Ga , Supreme Knight sec
retary, A. I. Spaulding, Alamo, Ga.,

Alamo Public School
To Open in November
The prospects for a prosper
ous terra of the Alamo public
school is looming bright. The
beautiful modern building, situ
ated on the prettiest elevation in
town, has been completed. The
finishing touches were applied
this week, and the building was
turned over to the trustees.
No town in this section can boast
of any better equipment for dis
seminating knowledge, and the
trustees, as we l ! the contractors,
ars to be congratulated on their
work. Every convenience is to
found in the building, and every
one that has seen it since its
completion, is pleased with it.
The building is a credit to the
town.
The faculty elected for the en
suing term is as follows: Prof.
I A. W. Burnson of Mussella.Ga,,
as principal; Miss Annie Bebe
Conner of Cartersville, Ga., as
! assistant, and Miss Hannah
Bright of this place, teacher of
music. Prof- Burnson and Miss
Conner are strangers to us, but
they are preceded with recom
mendations that the trustees of
the school have approved, which
is sufficient proof of their high
standing, both morally and
educationally. Miss Bright is
known to ns all- She has recent
ly returned from Massachusetts
where she spent several months
in school, under the instructions
of the finest, voice and music
teachers in the North. Her nat
ural talents have been developed
to the extent that her ability as
an instructor for this particular
branch is unexcelled. With her
strong personality and her great
strength of character, the school
is fortunate to secure her services
The opening is expected to be
on or about the first of Novem
ber, but the exact date has not
been decided upon. Due notice
will be given, however, and it is
to be hoped that all who can will
be ready to enter on the opening
day.

mony.
Mrs. Street has made Alamo
her home for the past year, and
is a native of this county. She
has many friends and relatives
in the county who wish her hap
piness through life. Mr. Street
is one of the prosperous farmers
of this section, and has scores of
well-wishers.
Immediately after the nuptial
knot had been tied the happy
young-couple drove over to the
groom’s home, on the edge of
town, where they are at home to
their many friends
The Eagle joins in wishing:
them much happiness.

§ “EVERYTHING IN BUILDING MATERIAL”. g
Co-operation Necessary
To Meet Obligations.
At no time during the present crisis
will the banks and merchants, Who
have advanced money to the farmers,
need a portion, if not all the money
due them, than at this time. The first
of October is drawing close and they
all have obligations to meet, as well as
the farmers, and their need of
assistance at this time is more press
ing, if possible, than is the farmer.
They have gone the limit in many ca
ses, to advance money on the present
crop, and if they are not abie to collect
enough to satisfy their creditors, ini
part at least, they will suffer the
embarassment handed out by the
foreign banks, that know them not,
only in the collection of their money.
An occurance like this would not
only prove a hardship upon the local
banks, but would involve their custom
ers as well. The matter could very
easily be remedied now by the farmers
co-operating with the local banks, ai d
if they prefer not to sell a portion of
their cotton, even, let them store a
third er fourth of their crop, as the
case might be, and deposit the ware
house receipt with the bank they are
indebted to and thereby give them
some showing to make to their credit
ors when their notes come due. As it
stands, they will only have the past
due paper, which will not be looked
upon with favor by the Northern
money lenders.
The situation can be made more
serious by every one not being willing
to share in meeting the problems that
now confront the local banks at this
time. It is hoped that the farmers
will look after this matter at ones, and
by so doing the worst will soon be over,
and we will then have more time to
prepare for another crisis like this.
