II Is a Compliment

To be solicited to insure your life. It is
proof that some one thinks you are of
some value and use in the world, and a
higher compliment, when you succeed IN
getting policy in the Massachusetts, Mu-
tual of Springfield, Mass. Every policy
holder becomes an ardent advocate, Just
as soon as he has carefully read his poll
cy, observed the clean, honest and easily
understood terms of the contract, and
noted the cash and paid-up surrender
values plainly written therein. AS soon
as the policy is one year old and the first
dividend is declared he feels satisfied that
the statements of the agents have been
fully realized. He has a contented feel
ing of security and whenever the subject
of life insurance is brought forward, he
becomes at once warm advocate of the
company and unconsciously the best kind
of an advertisement.
We have frequently had people ask us
II Mr. "So-and-So" was not an agent of
ours, and were surprised to learn that
he was not, it was simply the natural adj
miration and enthusiasm caused by his
having the right sort of life insurance
You will feel the same way if you take a
Massachusetts Mutual policy. Let us give
you information on the subject Send us
your age and address and you will get
a specimen policy, showing the cash and
paid-up values, and a copy of the famous
Massachusetts insurance laws. the best
insurance laws in the world
We insure ladies at the same rates as
men. We want few reliable agents, to
whom we will give good contracts. Harty

CHARLES d. OWENS DEATH.
He Died suddenly From Heart Dis
ease At NorfoIk. Xa.

euse AT NOrIOlk, va.
1t was with deepest regret and sympa-
thy for bereaved family that the news
Of the death of Mr.. Charles D. Owens
was received in Savannah yesterday.
The announcement Of Mr.. Owens death
came in several kilograms from Norfolk to
friends and relatives in the city. His
death, was a sudden one, it being due to
heart disease. He died at the residence
of Mr.. Adam Tredwell. an official of the
Atlantic and Danville road, with which he
was connected as vice president and gen
eral manager. He was in good spirits
during Friday evening and did not go up
stairs till nearly midnight. In the MORN
ing he was found in the bath room. The
coroner was notified and an inquest re-
suited in a verdict Of death from heart
disease.
Mr. owens was born in Charleston, S.
C., and was in his end year. AT the be-
ginning of the war he was placed on the
stan OF Gen. Thomas F. Drayton, who was
commanding the forces around Port Royal.
After the war he went to New
York as the agent there of
several southern railroads, all of which
he afterwards gave up to become the
agent and representative there of the old
Atlantic and Gulf railroad, and then of
the Savannah, Florida and Western, as it
afterwards became. He remained in New
York until 1882 or 1883, after which he
came to Savannah and assumed the posi-
ton of traffic manager of the Savannah,
Florida and Western, and later held the
same position with the entire Plant sys-
tenn. He was traffic manager of the sys-
tenn until 1894, when he resigned, and in
the summer of that year was elected vice
president and general manager Of the At
lantic and Danville railroad, with head
quarters at Norfolk. Mr. Owens has been
living in Norfolk since his appointment to
that position, though his family remained
in Savannah. He was in Savannah about
Christmas time on a visit to his family
and friends and seemed then in entirely
good health and spirits.
Mr.. Owens only daughter died in New
York city about a year and a half ago
He was devotedly attached to her, and
it is said her illness and death had so
depressing an effect upon him that he had
never seemed the same man since that
time He is spoken of by all who know
him as a good-hearted and true friend, a
man who was always kindly disposed to
every one, who was genial and witty and
always pleasant company He was noted
for his frequent charitable deeds though
they were never ostentatious, and always
came where they did most good.
Mr.. owens leaves his wife and three
sons, James, Harry II. and Charles D.
Owens, Jr. The body will be brought to
Savannah for interment. 1t left Norfolk
yesterday in private car over the Atlantic
Coast Line, accompanied by Mrs. Charles
o. Haines, and will arrive this morning.

A PLEASANT PRESCRIPTION.
The Prevalent MaIady Cured with
out Medicine.

Starve a fever and stuff cold is the ad-
vice of the old time people, and it works
even in these latter days of the nineteenth
century. The reason why so many peo-
pie have severe colds, which they are
pleased to term la grippe, is because they
neglect natures rules. Now, everybody
knows that, and they do not like to be told
about their negligence.
There's a bit of free advice, however,
which if they follow will certainly do
them good, in many ways, besides keep la
grippe germs from taking hold of the sys-
tenn.
Get out of bed early these cold frosty
mornings; wrap yourself up comfortably
and take brisk walk up any street, so
long as it leads to the city market Stop
at that popular stall in the popular part
and give your order for some of Logan's
fine fat and filing food that you know he
keeps. Get some delicacies, too, grouse,
smelts, ducks or other nice things.
Have what you buy prepared properly
eat heartily and be healthy like all of
Logan's customers, who do likewise.-ad
