/" You Cant do it Again

When the great financial results attained by policy-holders
in the M~utuallife are shown to the confused agents OF rival
companies they exclaim Eyes; but they can't do it again.
They are willing to admit that the dividends paid by the Mu-
#tual Life Insurance Company Of New York on all its earlier
policies are the largest ever paid by any company on similar
forms of insurance, but it is claimed that the Mutual Life can
not duplicate its former dividend results on policies issued
now. Let us see:
On Policy No. 1l5,628, issued November Z, 1870, at age
twenty-five, for $1,000, annual premium $9945 ordinary life
plan, at the end Of first twenty years the dividend additions
amounted to 10000, making the insurance value s6,9o5.O as
a death claim, which is 634. 40 more than the amount Of prem.
Iiums paid improved at 10 per cent. compound interest.
On Policy No. 124,63a, issued September Z, 1871, at age
Itwentyesix, for $4,000, annual premium $1o2. 90, ordinary life
plan, the dividend additionsvinlS91 at the end Of the first
twenty years, amounted W s1,s47.00s xaising the policy to &c.
I847O 90 and being s42&15better than all the premiums paid i'm
proved at 10 per cent. compound interest per annum for twenty
years.
Thus it appears from the records Of The Mutual Life In
surance Company Of New York that the first twenty years
dividends, ending in 1890 and 1891, declared on policies issued
in 1870 and 1871 have been as favorable as those declared in the
first twenty years on policies issued in 1S43. TT is, therefore,
quite reasonable to assume that the future dividends of this
Company on policies issued now, on the twenty year, istribu-
tion plan,' will be as good as those realized in the first twenty
years by the holders Of policies issued in the early years Of the
Company on the old sreversionary addition plan, "on which
dividends were declared every five years and added to the policy
at their insurance value.
Since 1890 the Mutual Lifes dividends have shown a grad
ual increase every year.

COUNTY COURT.
4 Four Days Session Of shs January
Term.
Results In the Fiaal Dispos,tfon Of
Forty-one Gases. n

The January term of county court
which adjourned sine die yesterday
morning was rather . remarkable term,
in one respect at least. During . session
of four days only, forty-one cases went
of the docket, either by verdict Of mot
guilty" or by being dismissed or mol
pressed by the court.
Only one conviction was had, it was
in the case Of John Grifiin, colored, who
was on trial charged with carrying .
concealed pistol. He was brought out
of Jail yesterday morning and Judge
Taylor. obeying the mandates of the law
sentenced him to 20 days hard labor for
the county to pay his dne and 2l6 days
to pay costs.
Only nineteen cases were left on the
docket, which fact argues very well for
both our county and officials.
The next term Of county will be held
the third week in April.

A Plan to Hold the Staple When Prices
Are sLow.
MEMPHIS, Jan. 29.-Mr. R. J. Sledge,
president of Mutual Cotton bureau,
was In Memphis in consultation with
Mr.. G. B. West, secretary and treasurer
of tho bureau. In an interview Presi-
dent Sledge said that the plan of opera
tions of the bureau would be given to
the public in few days. 1t is probable
that Memphis will be selected as head
quarters of the bureau. An official cir
cular was sent by the bureau on Janu-
airy to all the governors of the cotton
producing states recommending concert
Of action on behalf Of the planters OF
the south to still further reduce the
acreage Of cotton.
The circular suggests that the COVER
nor Of each southern state call meet
ing in every county of cotton planters
and that evidence be shown that the
prosperity of the farmer will come by
diversifying his crops and making cot
ton his surplus crop. President Sledge
said that there would be no trouble in
getting all the money they needed to
make the bureau success. He will go
from here to New York and perfect the
financial arrangements entered into sew
eral weeks ago The plan is to hold
cotton and not let it be forced on the
market during the depressed season.

Picsyune's Fort Worth, Texas, spe
cial says: There arrived IN this city
yesterday . party Of 20 Negroes
from Marksville, AvoyeIle parish,

passes away at the ripe age of Il

remembrance honesty, literality,
courage and patriotism.
As citizen he was honored and
beloved BY bis neighbors for his high
character and humane dispositson,
by bis countrymen in general he was
held in esteem for the same emo
bling qualities.
What ever may be said of the eff
tects of the influence welded by Mr..

the time Of his presidency, as man
the tongue or pen of the critic can
only be used to his praise. The en-
inent life which has just gone ou,
