Saturday, November 25, 1899.

A large part of this sum has been 60
ing to the 80 or 40 day laborers who
have been employed almost steadily,
and by them it has been distributed
through the various avenues of trade.
Mr.. Ashe has sold about 2,500,O0O
brick, and still has about a million on
hand; but they are going like some
thing hot. In the making of these
brick he has consumed in the neigh
borhood of 5000 cords of wood.
Mr.. It. B. McClain has easily secur-
ed enough orders for incandescent
lamps to justify an immediate wiring
of the town. He proposes to light the
street with Is arc lights at S65 a light
per annuu, in accordance with the
moonlight schedule. The county has
agreed to take lights for the court
house and also an arc light for the Jail
but the town council is not disposed
to make a contract for street lights
until after the expiration of the present
charter, and the assumption of power
under the general incorporation act,
which permits more taxation. The
work of putting in incandescent lights
for the use of private customers will
not be delayed longer than is absolute
" necessary.

Wednesday morning, found for the
plaintiff in the sum of S2l.
The case of Joseph NJ. Sims VS.. the

AUGUSTA, GA, August 10, 1897.
Mr.. Henry NJ. North, Agent, Augusta,
Ga:
DEAR SIR: have $1,000 policy in the
Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Co., OF
Newark, N. j., which consider the best
policy have ever examined. The feat
ures Of this policy which make it attrac.
tive to me are the various liberal privi-
leges given to the assured, such as ex-
tended insurance, paid up insurance,
loans and cash payments for surrender.
While compared with similar policies in
other old line companies, its premiums
are moderate and its dividends liberal.
But the most attractive feature to me
about the policy is the entire absence OF
ESTIMATED results" which have proven a
deusion and a snare to so many people.
The policy is an honest policy, it re-
moves all uncertainty as to what the
holder will get on every contingency,
by writing the result in the face of the
policy. 1 do not think that you can bet
ter advocate its merits than by having
conservative business men who desire in
surance to read the policy itself.
Yours truly,
(Signed) E. II. CALLAWAY.
Every policyholder satisfied. The COM
pany's record is clean. Conditions are
named in policy. Its plans just.

there ls no reason why steps should not

the work should be commenced by
building up from the bottom, first es-
tablishing municipal governments and
then provincial governments, q central
government at last to follow.

shall use tho authority vested in me
by the constitution and the statutes to

as In all other places where tho Gag

every ttep OF progress OF our troops has |
been marked by humanity which has |
surprised even the misguided insur-
gent,. The truest kindness to them
Will be swift and effective defeat of |
their present leader. The hour OF vic |
tory will be the hour OF clemency and |
reconstruction. No effort will be SPAR !
ed to build up the waste places desc
lated by war and by long years of mis-
government. We shall not wait for
