Which Brain bridge Merchant Pre-
sents for Consideration.
BAINBRIGE, GA. Nov. 23.-Eiitor
Morning Nel0s: In Your yesterday IS
issue in commenting upon the cause of so
many failures by country merchants, you
say that some of the Savannah jobbers
think the failures are caused by the mer-
chants advancing to farmers too heavily.
May it no be suggested that the rule be
reversed and say That the jobbers advance
TO the merchants not only too heavily, but
also too promiscnously, in many instances
with very poor judgment. Instead of the
Savannah jobbers confirming themselves to
legitimate trade, do they not too Of en- go
outside and sell to out-of-town merchants
to the detriment Of regular customers
" ON they have long been selling, and
should protect as much as possible and
not divert their trade to country
stores. There are instances in this place
where merchants were supplying our-of-
town dealers safely, as they we're near
by and could see and know the
joobers, over-anxious to sell, stepped
in and caused the merchant to lose
customers, and in the end tne jobber to 10 o
his money. AS long as the Savannah job
bers will dispose of their goods through the
proper channel, so long will they be on the
safe side, but when they put tneir goods
out to take away the trade from the towns,
and thereby lessen chances for town mer-
chants to dispose of their goods proftably
and 10 collect in the fall, they certainly
stand IL. their own light. Ask any Savan-
nah joDber if the above are not facts.

Albany Ne,rS and Advertiser: Flint
river navigation is now practicable and,

lie through that channel for Albany can
not be bounded There has been about
500, 900 expended in improving this river.
IL has not been thrown away, unless our
people refuse to enjoy the advantages
which it brings, but unless they do, it had
as well been burned up for the good it will
accomplish. The navigation Of this river
will develop a very fertile section lying
along its banks. which is adapted to many
more products than cotton, all of which can
be turned into the channel to swell Albany's
trade. If Albany consults her best interest,
she will have a line OF boats plying the

A satisfactory Investment.

One OF the most popular life in
surance policies of the present time
is the Ten Payment Endowment
Policy of the Union Central Life
Insurance Company It Is not only
4 protection In case of death; but a
better Investment than Government
bonds while you live and you do
not have to die to win The fol-
lowing letter from a policy holder,
a well known citizen of this county,
is an interesting testimonial to this
fact:

Dear Sir: As per your request to
know the gain of my Ten Annual
Payment Policy No. 1926, in the
Uuion Central Life, of Cincinnati,
Ohio. will say that the 18th annual
statement shows gain OF 81 per
cent: compound interest, and the
18th annual statement shows gain
of 81 per cent. compound interest.
This is a result entirely satisfactory
to me. Yours truly;

the assertions of agents of other
companies that the Union Central

as claimed by the company. The
