A woMAN's DUTIES.
Pleasure Found In the Management
of the Household.

of the Household.
1t is not beneath the dignity of any wo-
man. be her attachments what they may,
to acquaint herself with all the necessary
arrangements of a household; for it can
not be beneath her dignity to learn any
thing which contributes to the comfort
and happiness of those around her.
Home is the especial province of woman,
and it should be her delight to feel that
she has the power of administering to the
wants and pleasures of her circle.
There may be occupations more con-
genial to her taste than the management
of a household, but If she systemizes her
time, and comprehends what she is about,
may almost always find leisure to crafty
herself as well as others.
The trouble of experimenting her kitch-
en-, and going to market is comparatively
small, when she once thoroughly under
stands what is to be done. She may COM
prehend this, and always have a guide at
hand. That guide is found at H. Logan's,
in the city market. Every housekeeper
finds 1t pleasure and a great satisfaction
when she visits Logan's, and personally
selects her dinners, from the vast assort-
ments of fine meats, which are always
kept by the most enterprising caterer in
the city of Savannah.-ad.

THE BALLOT FLORIDIANs CAST.
1t Is Four Feet Long and Contains
los Names.

While the people of Georgia are quietly
depositing their straight ballots for the
democratic ticket next month the voters
of Florida will be tearing their hair and
endeavoring to select their favorites from
a ticket four feet long and containing los
names
The Florida laws require all officials
to be elected by the people, and the names
of all the candidates to be on one ticket.
Capt John Fitzgerald, who has just re-
turned from Florida, brought back one of
these, ticket and gave it to Maj. Ryals.
The ticket is a "beaut." There are thir-
ty-nine Offices on it, from governor to
constable. Fortunately there is only one
candidate each for several OF the Offices,
otherwise the ticket might be a foot or
two longer. Maj. Ryals presented the
ticket to the Morning News
Here" said he, send this thing TO
John Temple Graves and tell him that
he can cut the head and the tail of 1t and
slash it in the middle, and still have
enough left. If he votes it, to keep out

II Is Astonishing

How some men take life insurance. Some
go it blind, rely entirely on the state
ments made by the agent, never read
their policies and swallow the estimates
and approximated results eagerly. Many
carry tontine policies, never realizing that
they forfeit their dividends in event OF
death or lapse prior to the completion of
the period. Why deal with estimates or
uncertainties? The Massachusetts MuS
tual Life Insurance Company writes a
policy wherein every statement made or
figure presented by the agent is ineorpor-
ated in the contract. You are not asked
to accept a policy based on estimated re-
suits. You are not forced to leave your
dividends in the hands of the company
for long period-generally twenty years
You are not compelled to sign away your
rights to your dividend accommodations in
event you die 'or lapse your policy before
the end of the period, the Massachusetts
Mutual pays the dividend additions with
the face of the policy. The laws of the
state of Massachusetts require that ev-
cry policy shall contain in plain figures
the amount of cash as well as paid up
insurance that the policy is entitled to,
and in addition to these values the COM
pany pays large annual dividends. Some
listen to the smooth-tongued advocates of
the assessment scheme, believing that it
Is just as good" and "cheap" while it
lasts. Many have found, very recently
to their sorrow, that such is not the case.
If you want cheap insurance, examine
the term policies of this company. The
term rates are equally as low as those OF
the assessment concerns, the difference be-
ing the cost never increases and the pro-
lection is absolutely sure. Send your ad-
dress and date of birth to Harty & Apple,
general agents for Georgia, SO Bay street,
Savannah, Ga, and they will send you a
specimen policy and full information. 1t
will certainly be worth your time to in
quire into the plans of this company be-
fore you think of accepting any other
policy. Agents wanted. Good contracts
and good territory.-ad.

on the way down was enjoyed. Mr. Ste

very pleasant and companionable gentle
men. The object Of their visit was in
formally discussed. and considerable in
formation concerning the cities of Savan-
nan and Manchester and the interests of
both were exchanged.
All three of the visitors are young men.
Mr.. Stevens Is apparently between IS and

and with very affable manner.
Mr. Hall visits this country frequently
Tor the purchase OF grain, this being his
principal object on this visit. In discussing
the scheme OF direct trade between Sa-
vannah and Manchester with a Morning
News reporter, he said:
You need grain exports in order to fur
nish cargoes for the ships. To get grain
exports three things are necessary 10 A
port. A grain broker in the interior. who

the testimony of Adams and of the
eleven passengers who were in the car
az the time it became uncomfortable that
the brakes were utterly useless seems
incxpHcable. Adams has been very high

bravery and his vigorous efforts TO stop
the car and for remaining at his post
until the car was brought TO a stand
still. when he might have emulated the
example OF the conductor and jumped
for safety
