Do you carry Life Insurance?

Ii not, why not There is no man
if by his death he leaves behind a
mother, wife, children, or near rela-
tive, but who should leave to them
a few thousand dollars to make them
more comfortable in this life Of
trouble No man has an excuse for
not carrying some insurance as the
is so low that if he makes any sal
ary at all he can pay it.
A young man can find no better
investment than a life insurance pol
icy, and man of family who works
for salary can live on his salary and
leave as a legacy his life insurance
to his wife and children which
amount he could not have saved III a
life time even by stinting his family.
The success of the Volunteer State
Insurance Co, OF Chattanooga, has
:e.r so ma ke6 in the past eighteen
months, as stated in Their ad IN J he
Times shows. that it appeals to us as
the company to take out policy
in and more so since it is Sonthlrr,
company and represented III Mis-
sissippi by Messrs. Carter & West
Young men we have known all our
lives, and in GreenvilIe by Mr. A.
Wells. also home man and Mis-
sissippian Mr.. Wells would be glad
to call on any one and talk life in sur
ance, whether you take policy or
not. The time has arrived when a
man is considered poor business
man if he does not carry a policy for
some amount on his lie.

MOVEMENTS THAT SHOULD
BE ENFORCED


1t is an old saying and a true one
that an ounce OF prevention is worth
a pound Of cure, and it would De a
good motto for the city to adopt

IN the State have done The sulphur
for the work has arrived and now
let every house in the city be sup
Piled and fdmigated.
There is another matter that draws
our attention and that j., we sea by
the papers Of other cities that the
colored citizens have vilunteereS to
help clean up these cities. Why is it
that they do not volunteer to do the
same work here? Is not the work
Of cleaning bitches, draining ponds
and cutting weeds as important in
Greenv lie as in Monroe, VicksDurg,
or Jackson'
Again, representing over half the
city's population. is not the keeping
out of the fever as important TO the
protection of their lives and those Of
their families as our own2 Then if
the white people OF the ctyguard the
city and are willing to supervise this
work, is it not their duty to offer
their services to the Mayor to assist
in this work in any way he may see
proper to use them?

ARE MADE OF
ON THE TRAIL

We were told by gentleman who
attended the public meeting at Co
lumbus. Miss, the night the order
was received from the Governor for
twenty members OF the Columbus
Rifles To- report to Col Montgomery
for duty ON the river front, that after
speeches were made by prominent
citizen, ON the dangers oil the posi-
ton. etc, the call for volunteers was
answered by nearly every solder boy
present.
This shows the kind OF material the
Mississippi volunteer is made of and
they can in the future as in the past
be depended upon To do their full
duty in war, guarding the State in
quarantine, or suppresSing mobs.

The Memphis Times is one of the
warme~t papers that comes down the

places and does not mince words in
expressing its condemnation.
The Memphis police come in for

is published in the city of Memphis
