busily and urgingly engaged in CONVEX

Many busy brains and fingers are JUS
now at work getting ready for the open
ing of the school year. Hundreds of young
girls Jus, leaving their teens and just on
tering them, are prep, ring and having
prepared their wardrobes for the next ten
months The great questions-hOw many
dresses, of what material they shall be
and how they shall be made-agitate the
youthful feminine heart and lntrude up
on the night watches Of the anxious ma
tron.mother Let the number be ample
the material good, and the style of max
ing simple. Only parvenus heap hnery
and gewgaws on school children. PEG
pie of good taste are known by the severe
simplicity of their dress on occasions
where full dress is not called for, and ii
certainly is not called for in the school
room. A girl or boy so attired as to oc-
casion remark, either for the richness
or the poverty of his or her dress, will
find it hard to lose consciousness of self
in devotion to study; that loss of conscious
ness, that total absorption in school duties
which makes the pupil insensible, in q
manner, to everything else, is greatly to
be desired. The best teachers, as class,
are Indifferent to dress, and the first
glance at an overdressed pupil gives them
II feeling of encouragement with respect
to influencing such a student toward the
attainment of high grade of scholarship;
and this is bad impression for the pupil
to make, and almost as bad for the teach
ers to receive. Another reason why
wealthy parents should dress their chill
dren plainly is found in the fact that so
few comparatively of the thousands that
FIJI our schools can afford to dress hand
somely, and it is an irreparable injury to
a girl to foster in her disposition to think
herself better than others by reason OF
mere pecuniary ability to make finer APP
pearance than they How hardly shall
they that trust in riches enter, not the
kingdom of heaYen only, but the kingdom
of knowledge, of high aspiration, of real
power. Plainly dressed students soon find
out that apparel does not mean scholar
shi p, and soon get over any pain they
may have had by reason of unfavorable
comparisons in that regard, but the girl
who prides herself OF her superiority of
dress rarely RECEIVERS her senses in time
to profit by her schooling, As matter
OF mere common sense and pure taste let
the school outfits be ample, tasteful, and
simple.

To the Editor of the Herald and MaiL;
1t may not be known to many of our
people, that Gen. Withers, a distinguish
ed son Of Ala, is in our county with the
view, and for the purpose of organizing
the department of the State of Tenhes-
see. OF the Granger's Life and II ealth In
surance Company, of the U. S. of Amer
ica This company, is chartered by the
State of Ala. The charter runs for nine
hundred and ninety-nine years, and its
provisions, in favor of the stock and
policy holders, are as liberal as could
be desired. It allows an annual divi-
dend OF t1UentlJ per cent. first, to the stock
holder; the rest of the surplus earnings
is mutually divided between the policy
hOl 1ers. The charter allows the moth-
er office, to have forty-f1ve departments,
aud it's capital stock is PLACED at four
and a half millions of dollars. The
States of Alabama, Mississippi and
Georgia, are fully organized with paid
up capitol of one hundred thousand
dollars each. Gen. Withers is here, as
l have said, for the purpose of Organi-
zing this State. Each State has its own
Vice President and board of directors,
and all it's capital funds, and earnings,
and invested in the State, under the
control and direction of the State Board
of directors. Gen, Withers dasiir.GGs that
the headquarters of the department of
this State, shall be located in Columb ia,
and offers to our people the privilege OF
taking this stock. The company has
wisely adopted the rule OF requiring
each stock holder, to furnish a policy
| double in amount of the stock subscri-
bed, which insures the success of the
company from its organization. Ten
| per cent OF the stock, is all that is ever
| required to be paid in cash. Ninety
per cent OF the stock is paid by note, and
in four and half years, the premium
on the stock, will redeem the note.
! be trespassing too much upon your
| space, to attempt to point out all the
| advantages that the organization 70 this
company offers to the people of Maury
| County. First, it will retain all our
| Life Insurance money at home, and its
management will be under the direc-
| ton of our own people. 1t will bring in
| few years hundreds of thousands of
| dollars OF money to be invested in our
midst, which will materially assist in
building up our city and county. 1t
will give us practically another bank,
| with large capital. Millions of dollars
are sent out of our State annually to
pay for Life Insurance, all OF which
should be retained at home, and made
an element of prosperity, instead of
! weakness to the State. / have given
this subject some thought and consider
alton. Our wisest men, regard Lille
Insurance" as one of the grandest and
noblest institutions eyer devised by man.
My object in this letter, is to call the at :
tentiOn of our people to the subject, to
its immediate Importance, because, If
Maury county and Columbia do not en-
brace this opportunity soon, some other
town and county will do so. ask our
business men and our farmers, to in
vestigate the subject. Gail at the Nele
son House and see Gen. Withers, and
then act promptly. B. A. ROGERS.
