COUNTY MUTUAL
ASSOCIATION.
OF AMERICA.
Abbeville Division.
Abbeville, 8. G.
OF AMERICA.

III IS WITH PLEASURE WE
announce the fact that we have
effected arrangements by which we are
prepared to conduct the business of
the "County Mutual Benefit Associa-
ton of America" in Abbeville Coun-
| ty, independent of the Parent Asso-
citation whose headquarters are at Un-
ion, S. G.
The purpose of the Association is to
secure to the family Of each member
of the same who may die, one dollar
for every member belonging to the AS
sociation at the time of his or her
death.
The idea in ezteraso is to take one
thousand persons, men and women,
bind them together in business way
to help each other in time of need and
trouble. 1t is more like family af-
fair than anything! else. You only
pay when one dies. If you join now
your first payment Of $3.50 pays you
up until first of January, 1905, unless
we lose one of our members, when you
would be called on to pay one dollar
and ten cents to replace the amount
paid out on account of the death claim
and expenses.
1t is unquestionably the cheapest in
surance known of. You are receiving
insurance at actual cost.
| Any white persons between the ages
of eighteen and fifty-five, male or fe-
male, may become q member of the
Association until the number of one
thousand be reached; after that no
one over thirty can get in, and he only
to replace a deceased member. If,
therefore, you are over thirty years of
age this is the only chance you will
have of Joining.
You owe it to your family, you owe
it to yourself to provide something for
their protection in case you are taken
away from them.
Consider the matter, examine and
study our plan, act promptly and let
our agents write you up.at once.
Remember that this is purely home
institution ; the money to pay death
claims is in the bank at this place, be-
ing always collected in advance of
death the claim paid Immediately on
notice of death of the member; no
waiting sixty or ninety days, with
ever so much "red tape" to be OBJ
served in order to collect death claim
and that the officers Of The company
are your own people.
If there is any additional informa-
ton as to the plan desired, call on
either of the undersigned or any Of
the company's agents and they will
take pleasure in explaining the same.

President.

WHAT POOR GIRL ACCOMPLISH
ED

A young minister was travelling on
horseback through mountain district.
One day he noticed groups Of people
coming from every direction, many of
them having evidently walked long
distance. twas not Sunday, yet these
people were dressed in Sunday garb,
and everywhere was the deepest SOL
emnity. In response to the inquiry If
protracted meeting were going on as
mountaineer answered.:
may, mister, but Miss Margaret's
dead"
"Miss Margaret ?" the stranger ask
ed, inquiringly.
"You-uns don't know Miss Marga-
ret? She was the best woman ever
lived, and she's dead" There were
tears in the mans eyes.
care all these people going to the fu-
neralW
"'Deed they is mister it'll be the
biggest funeral ever seen In these
parts"
Deeply interested, the minister at
tached himself to one Of the silent
groups, and passed on with the long
procession. It was never-to-be-for-
gotten scene.
The meeting-place was plain,
rough school-house. The cheap, plain
coffin, the poorly-dressed throng, were
all forgotten as the stranger gazed up
on the still face of the girl lying in her
last sleep. It was not beautiful face,
but it wore, even in death, look OF
high resolve and self-forgetfulness that
thrilled the looker-on to the depths oil
his soul. The throngs that gathered
round, beheld that face with streaming
eyes.
Who was she? What was she
Only the teacher of that humble noun
tain school. She had come, a stranger
among these rude, ignorent people
For the love of Christ she had labored
in season and out of season, to teach
the children, and also their elders
the better ways they had nevel
known. Before she had been among
them six months, the houses were II
better repair, and kept in q cleaner
more home-like fashion. The rough
manners were softened ; kindness ant
neighborIy love were manifest as neve
before; the Bible became well-read
beloved Book. Many soul had beer
led to Jesus by her simple words, ant
her beautiful, unselfish life.
And now she was dead, leaving he
j flock bereft. Not one in all that com
pany were kindred, save as they wer'
brothers and sisters in Chist Jesus

Congr ressnan Aiken's Good Works.
GreenVille Daily Herald.


The action of Congressman Wyatt
Aiken in securing from the postoffice
department authorities mail service
on train No. II, is deeply appreciated
by the people of Greenville and o1
other cities between Charlotte and At
lanta.
The service was discontinued several
years ago, and it is indeed good news
to know that it will be put on again
July l.
Congressman Aiken is one of the
hardest worked men in Washington
but he never loses an opportunity tc
serve his constituency-and a good
point about his work is that when be
takes hold Of proposition he never
turns loose till he accomplishes what
he set out to do.

The Christian worker fights against
the spirit of torpor, of Incidence, of
self-sollcitude, and sooner or later be-
gins to possess the character of intense
and continuous application to work
and activity.
Learn the art of saying kind and
encouraging things, especially to the

to love as Christ loved, to work as
