WHEN CONSIDERING LIFE IN
SURANCE,

Consider Your Own and Your Peo-
pies Best Interest by Taking Pol
icy in the Southern Life Insurance
Company.
Why not consider your own and your
peoples best interests and place your
policy in the Southern Lille Insurance
Company instead of your friend s interest
who happens to represent another Com
pany?
Look at it this way: "A mans best
friend is his mother Suppose your
mother owned farm OF one hundred
acres, old and somewhat run down. 1t
will make fifty bales of cotton, which
she wishes to lease to you for rental OF
twenty five bales. Across the road from
your mothers farm one who cares moth
ing for you, owns farm OF one hundred
acres in very high state OF cultivation
which will make two hundred bales OF
cotton; he will lease it to you for forty
bales. Like the Southern Life Insurance
Company he viii give .yOu four fffhs OF
the profits.
Now, you cannot cultivate but one of
these farms. Ii yor cultivate your
mothers one hundred acres she gets
twenty-five bales; you wish to take care
OF your mothers interests as well as
your own. With her farm she and your
self can get fifty bales of cotton. BY
cultivating the other one hundred acres,
after giving the owner forty bales you
have one hundred and forty bales for
yourself. Ifyou wish to give your mother
half your earnings you give her eighty
bales off OF the strangers farm instead
of twenty-five bales Off OF her own,
you will have over three times as much
for yourself.
The very low mortuary cost in a young
Company and the high rate of interest,
puts the Southern Life Insurance Com
pany on par with the fertile farm, while
the high death rate and low rate OF in
terest puts the old Companies on a par
with the run down farm
The old Companies usually give the
policyholders half the small profits which
they make, while the Southern Life In
surance Company gives four-ffths OF
their much larger profits to theOlicyp-
holders. See about the dividend on your
policy and who gets it before you close
another Life Insurance trade.

We understand that an amend
ment to the present liquor law will
be introduced at the next session of
the Legislate, regarding applicants
for license and those who desire a
change from one business location
TO another.
At present no publication OF the
proposed application is required.
Neither is any publicity required
in regard to changing the business
location, say from one street to
another or one house to another on
the same street.
The proposed law will require
publication for at least two weeks

people heard that strenuous opposi-
tion was to bc encountered. the
matter was not brought to an issue
