Gently united by proxy to a young lady
residing with her parents at Amster-

our ideas. the bridegroJm's sister rep

in his name for better or worse" 1t
seems that the young man was tired Of
waiting for his love any longer, but
found that she would not be married
unless her mother was present. Her
parents would not go to Batavia, and
he could not go home. A compromise
was happily possible, as they were
both Dutch subjects, by the lady being
married with her relations around her,

BETTER THAN A SAVINGS BANK.
Americas Man Cashes In a Valuable
Policy,

That good policy is far better than
bank account is generally conceded,
as the insured not only secures protec.
ton while the policy is in force but
can cash it at any time desired. The
experience of well known citizen OF
Americus is proof positive of this latter
assertion. On January 3lst. 1887 Mr..
Aaron Cohen applied for a $4,000 life
policy IN the Mutual Life Insurance
90. of New York, now represented in
Americus by Mr.. Fred B Arthur. Re.
Gently he desired to secure the cash
surrender value Of the policy, and Mr.,
Arthur so advised the Atlanta agency
He was advised yesterday that Mr..
Cohen's policy has cash value of
81, 398.07, which is his upon demand.
Since taking out the policy IN 1887 Mr..
Cohen has paid $10250 each year as
premiums, or total of 81, 5s7 O5. He
thus gets back nearly the entire
amount, the difference, $138.98, being
all that it has actually cost him for pro-
lection during fifteen years. This is
splendid showing, and demonstrates
again the well known fact that insur.
ance in such company as the Mutual
Life of New York is better than a cav
ings bank. IF Mr.. Cohen did not elect
to take the cash for his policy, the Mu-
tual Life will give him full paid up in
surance to the amount of So, 200.
