No Life Insurance Company,
Association or Fraternal
Order Has Ever Achieved
Such Result in a Ten
Year Term.

Up to ten years ago when the General
Assembly OF Virginia chartered the Pro-
gresslve Endowment Guild OF America,
which corporate name has since been
shortened by legislative act to that OF
the American Guild. for purposes Of con-
veniencc, the South had no frdternal ben
ehciary order with headquarters within
its borders. and vast sums OF money were
thus taken from this section and sent
East North and West without like recip-
rocal features 10 the Southern States.
All legitimate fraternal orders are to be
commended regardless OF section. but to
Virginia belongs the credit CT having or
iginated the first fraternal beneficiary
order South. when the Guild began its
operations and its good deeds for pro-
tecting home and family by the bened-
cent ana generally recognized fraternal
insurance system.
RECOGNIZED EVERYWHERE.
Like all institutions OF a similar char
acter. changes as to specific benefits were
necessary, but the American Guild pos
sesses the proud record Of being true to
every trust. and meeting faithfully all
Obligations thus not only rejecting credi,
upon the fraternal beneficiary system.
but also upon Virginia. rs home State Of
incorporation The excellent features of
the Guild have found due recognition in
nearly every state OF the Union East
North South and West, and the Domin-
ION of Canada. where its hourlshing and
increasing chapters may be found.
A PROUD ACHIEVEMENT
It's original benefit plan contemplated
not only protection in the event Of sick
ness and death. but the return OF the
largest benefit possible to its persevering
and loyal members at the end OF ten
wears. These will now receive an amount
equal to all regular monthly payments
contributed plus about per cent. per
annum average interest. and life insur-
ance protection free OF cost for the term
OF ten years \ proud achievement In
deed. which augurs well for the future
prosperity OF the Guild and the popular
ity OF its excellent benefit plans. In fact,
no life Insurance company, association
or fraternal order has ever achieved such
results in ten year term. As indicated
above the Supreme Chapter and home
office OF the American Gund are located
In our own city.

A RIVER FRONT TRAGEDY.
THUGS COMMIT ROBBERY AND
PERHAPS MURDER.
E. A. Miller Was Assaulted on the
River Bank and Cannot
be Found.

e. A. Miller, an elderly man who has
lived in camp on the river bank south
of the gas works. was robbed last night
in that locality, and up to o'clock
this morning he had not been found,
and it was feared that perhaps the men
who robbed him had thrown him into
the river.
It seems that Miller received some
money yesterday, about $40 and made
the round Of saloons along the water
front, where he of course encountered
some very tough characters. 1t is sup
posed he was on his way to his camp
last night with the remains of his
"wad'' when he was followed to a Sc
cluded spot and there set upon and
robbed.
1t is known that a struggle took place
there at late hour, and that Miller
was concerned in it, Efforts were made
Immediately to find him, but in vain
and it was this that led to the belief
that he had been murdered after being
robbed.

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.
"A White Man and a japanese Ar
rested Yesterday.

Special Officer Dan Healy of the
Humane Society yesterday arrested the
driver of the mail wagon that runs be-
tween the Poetoffice and the railroad
depot for cruelty to a horse. Healy
says he found him using q horse from
which the blood flowed and left a pool
wherever he stood for a few minutes.
The arrest was not made, Eealy said
until after he had repeatedly .old the
man to take the horse from the wagon.
The man refused and continued to drive
the horse.
Constable William A. Johnston yes
terday arrested near CORTLAND a Japa-
nese who had left this city or Walnut
Grove with an old stage heavily load
ed with merchandise. The day was
hot and one of the horses soon gave
out. The Jap beat the poor beast I'M
mercifully, wearing out over its back
a new iron-bound whip.
Healy met Constable Johnston on his
arrival late last night and had the
horses attended to. while the Jap was
locked up in the County Jail. His case
will be called tomorrow in Justice
Henry's court.
