A Wise Man.

Knows a good thing when he sees it!
There Is no better way for him to appre-
ciate a good thing than by taking out a
policy of insurance on his life in the Oldest
life insurance in the United States, A COM
pany whose past record Is pointed to with
pride by all of its policy-holders. He can
make no better investment for himself or
family than by making application 10 and
securing policy in the New England Mu-
tual Life Insurance Company of Boston,
Mass
Remember that all policies have the
cash surrender and paid-up values guaran-
teed therein, and participate in the large
annual dividends, which can be used for
the reduction of the premium, or for the
purchase of additional Insurance Under
no circumstances are our policies non-par-
t;cipating.
BY sending your name, address and date
of birth TO w. e. Grady, general agent for
Georgia, lis Bay street, east, or telephone
lis or Gil, you viii receive a specimen pol
ley and a copy of the celebrated insurance
laws of the commonwealth of Massachu-
setts under which laws this company IS
operated
Good agents can secure first class con-
tracts for unoccupied territory.-ad.

three Meals a Day and some clothe,

Is about all the average business man
gets from his labor, the balance of his
earnings, above what is taken to support
his family, goes right back into his bust
ness. All good enough, if he is success
full. Suppose he continues in this way for
ten years, and were then to fail in bust
ness, his ten years of labor would be lost
to him. Suppose, now, he takes a sum
such as he pays one of his clerks and were
to put 1t into a policy in the Massachu-
sets Mutual, he would have saved a good
many dollars and on the happening of a
contingency the amount of cash or paid-up
insurance is as easily available as if it
were in bank. Besides, his policy, when
the proper beneficial interest is written
therein, can not be attacked by his cred
itors. The handsome annual cash divi-
dends paid by the company makes the in
vestment profitable one, and il necessary
he can borrow liberal amount from the
company to help him, should a rainy day
come. Think it over, and you will agree
that our argument is good, then sit down
and send us your age and address, and we
will send you full information, sample

pany, doing business under the best in
surance laws in the world. Address Harry

ON to Cuba,

Let the Georgia boys so to the front.
They are better than any Spaniards on
Cuban soil and will make record worthy
of their native state. One reason the
Georgia boys are in such fine condition is
because they were fed at Halligans just
before their departure. Halligan knows
how to feed men and make them capable
of withstanding fatigue and the trials of
war He gives them the best and that
only Food at Halligan's is properly

Get started Right.

Look out for your health this summer.
Don't make a trial machine of yourself,
inspecting every boarding house in the
hopes of finding one absolutely perfect.
Such thing is unobtainable on this sec
ton of the earth. There is, however, in
this city an establishment where living has
been brought up to the highest standard
and where greater nicely is in constant
practice. That establishment is Hicks
restaurant-the best restaurant south of
the Potomac. Hicks makes the summer
boarder an especial study, and he can give
him more satisfaction than any man in the
business. This year, as usual Hicks is
crowded with business, but there is always
room, and so great are the facilities at
Hicks, a crowd makes little difference
Hicks rates arc very reasonable and nc
hopes to entertain you. The restaurant is
open day and night.-ad.

Volunteers will be appointed adjutant of
the Third Regiment under Col. Gambler
No better appointment could be made. in
the opinion of those who know of Mr.
Rockwelfs military career. AT the Mil
ledgeville school and at the University Of
Georgia, he always held the very highest
rank in the military department. For two
Years he was second lieutenant in the
Oglethorpesa and in 1894 was appointed
battalion adjutant of the First Regiment,
his present position
Capt. James B. Erwin, of the Fourth
United States Cavalry, was rendered a
commission as major in Col Gamblers
regiment but declined it, preferring to ac-
cept a position as aide on Gen. w. w.
Gordon'e staff.
An army officer was desired to fill one
OF the majors places; so upon Capt Err
wins declination of the honor Lieut. r.
r. L. Spence of the regular army, VINO
is now at Santiago. was named by Gov.

SAVING MONEY AND HEALTH.
Sensible People Use LOgan's Cream
cry Butterfne.

Everybody eats butter-at least they
think they do, but do they? Many buy
what they say is butter, but it's nothing
but oleomargarine. There's so much adul-
iteration nowadays that you can't tell what
you are getting half the time. Now, if
you want healthy and wholesome butter
get the Creamery Butterine" from II.
Logan. It's much better than the most
butter you get at the grocery stores and it
is cheaper, too; besides it is guaranteed to
be pure. Everyone who has tried it con-
tinues TO use 1t in preference to all other
butter. Get in line It's cost is only so
cents for three pounds.-ad

NO MORE TRANSPORTS.
Ocean Steamship Co. Not to Furnish
Any More at Present.

Any More at Present.
It Is not likely that the Ocean Steamship
Company viii furnish the war department
with any more transports for troops I'M
less the exigencies Of the case become SO
great as to demand il.
The company had another inquiry from
the war department with. regard TO the
matter recently, but replied that no more
of the boats could be spared unless there
was an absolute necessity for them. The
Boston Line had to be abandoned on ac-
count of the fact that the Gate City and
City of Macon were-leased to the govern
ment, and the other boats now have all
the business they can possibly handle.
Vice President John M. Egan of the
company has gone 70 Washington, but on
different business. as there are at pres
ont no negotiations pending for any more
of the company's ships. Should the need
for them become great, however, the COM
pany would doubtless strain a point and
furnish another transport or two for the
government troops.

WILL MEET IN ATLANTA.

Several savannah Lawyers win Go
to the Georgia Bars Meeting.
The Georgia Bar Association will hold
its annual meeting in the Supreme Court
room in Atlanta, Thursday and Friday,
July and s. The convention was TO
have been held at Tybee this year, but for
some cause the executive committee sent
out circulars announcing that for "con-
trolling reasons the pace of meeting had
been changed to the Supreme Court room
al the capitol.
The Savannah lawyers had hoped TO en-
terrain their brother members of the bar
here this year, bur it seems they will not
have the opportunity 1t is probable,
however, that a number of Savannah law
yers will attend the meeting in Atlanta.
Judge Falligant will probably be among
the members who will go from Savannah.
Quite a number of lawyers here expect to
make the trip, but they do not yet know
for certain that they can get away.

HAS FURNISHED IT'S QUOTA.
Savannah May Not be Allowed I,
Send More Troops.


Send More Troops.
Maj. w. S. Rockwell returned yesterday
from Atlanta. He visited the capital to
see the Governor in relation to the posi-
tion for which he has applied in the Third
Georgia Regiment, now being organized
under the second call of the President for
troops.
Maj Rockwell's application, accompan-
led by strong endorsements, was already
in the hands of the Governor. His visit
was a very pleasant one; Gov. Atkinson
received him very cordially but the major
did not say what was the result of the
interview. He appeared. however to be
well satisfied with his visit He said the
Governor was overwhelmed with business
connected with military affairs and the
ante room to his office was filled with
people waiting their turn 10 see the chief
executive. Everybody, however who had
patience doubtless had the opportunity of
eeeeing him.
Mai Rockwell said he thought it a
question whether any more appoin tments
would be made or troops called from Sa-
vannah, as il is claimed that this city
has already received its share of the non
Ors ana furnished its quota Of troops.
This, of course was not official state
ment but it seemed to be the prevailing
opinion. Every military appointment
from that of Gen. W. W. Gordon down to
9ieutenants was figured up to show the
preponderence of honors given to Savan-
nah. The major said he thought his old
company, the Oglethorpe Light Infantry,
should have a place in the war with Spain
and that there would be no diff
Guilty in sending it 10 the front
with as fun ranks and as good
material as it had when it went
10 war in the Cos, but he did not think the
old corps which followed Barlow to Viz
ginia would be accepted under the pres
ent call if for no other reason than that
other parts of the state are demanding
representation in the volunteers, and Sa-
vannah, which had already furnished a
third of the troops now in the field, will
have to give others a chance TO show their
patriotism.
Despite Maj. Rockwelrs reticence re-
garding his own affairs there is a very
general opinion that he VIII be offered a
position in the new regiment, even
though there may be no other soldiers ac-
cepted from Savannah.
