The Mutual Benefit

LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY is
sues all kinds Of regular policies and
annuities. 1t does not issue Tontine
or other complicated and speculative
policies which are calculated to mis-
lead the unwary into contracts which
seem to their advantage; but which
are, in fact, jughandled bargains where
the advantages are certain for the
Company andS very doubtful and re-
mote for the Insured.
Long deferred dividends conduce to
eXtravagant management, and impose
great loss on the average membership.
Deferred Dividends are great help
to Companies which cannot pay good
average dividends, and seek to conceal
the fact by paying no dividends for
many years and eonfiseating the div
id.nds Of all who drop out Of the Com
pany in the meantime.
The MUTUAL BENEFIT pays its
dividends every year on all policies
which are continued In force. II not
allowed in cash, they are applied on the
Addition" plan to increase the policy,
or on the "Accelerative Endowment
plan to shorten the term Of the policy.
II applied on the Addition" or on the
"Accelerative Endowment" plans, the
amount of the addition, or the date
when the Company agrees to pay the
policy is stated each year and made
a part Of the contract, and the surren-
der value Of the policy is correspond
ingly increased,
Every member Of the MUTUAL
BENEFIT is sure of fair and liberal
treatment under all circumstances:
and no matter what happens. he will
get his moneys worth in insurance,
for 1t is all put down in black and
white "in the bond"

And where is she now?"
Probably in one Of the numerous
caves Of which our mountains are full.
There she will doubtless be kept until
she dies"
But the servant"
Nothing has yet been heard Of her.
But as you see, you must not con-
found, in Sicily, the people who kill for
revenge with the others (whose num-
ber is constantly lessening) who kill
for money and do not believe that
this Valsavoia, who has three assas-
sinations and kidnapping to his ac-
count, is one of the famous brigands
whom the popular tourist loves to fear.
Besides-but l beg your pardon, here
we are at Girgenti."
We were indeed, just entering the
station. The engineer, whose CONVEX
sation had made the time pass so
pleasantly, strode to the door, appar-
emily looking for some one among the
crowd. AS If in reply to his look, a
young man Of about twenty, who had
pressed forward in the crush, lifted his
hand in a rapid salute to my COM
panion and presently l lost sight of
both Of them in the seething army Of
porters and facchini.
Three days later, as / was leaving
Girgenti and waiting at the station for
my train, one Of the guards there in
formed me that the night before, a
servant girl named Carlina had been
kidnapped.
Doubtless a lover who was in too
much Of a hurry!" the man explained,
smiling.
1 said nothing Once in the train
began to think deeply, and recalling
the story had heard, l wondered if
this was not another of Valsavoia's
moves. for the girl Carlina was the
only link missing in the complete
chain of revenge, If Valsavoia was, as
the stranger had surmised, Identical
with Armando Nitopi.
l was inclined to think he was right.
But, as l reflected further. 1t struck me
that he had shown too intimate a
knowledge for a mere outsider and
presently the truth dawned upon me
that the man with whom had travel
ed from Palermo was no other than
Valsavoia himself.-From the Italian.

The regular session of the County
Union, as The News stated in it's
last issue, was to have convened at
New Bethel on last Tuesday, the 4th.
Owing to the superior court being in
session and so many having to. at
tend the meeting was postponed to
Friday next, the 14th inst. The
meeting will be held at the court
house in Dawson, and the members
are requested to meet at a. M.
Every Union man is earnestly re-
ouested to be present, as we'll as
delegates. 1t being the last meeting
of the year, it is very important that
we have a good attendance.
Brethren, let me insist that we
all attend our meetings. II we at
tend we will be sure to get inter
ested. There can be nothing accom-
plished waiting for few of the
members to hold a meeting and 9TH
ers stay away to see what the result
will be. Go to your meetings and eX-
press yourself to the brethren.
You cannot show your faith except
by your works, and work without
faith will not accomplish much. SO
let's stick together, act right, be
honest and work in faith for the I'm
ion. Then l feel like the Lord will
lend a helping hand.
There is no reason why the Farm
ers' Union should not be as popular
in this county as in any other. |
feel assured of the fact that we have
as intelligent farmers as any coun-
ty. Still we read of the farmers in
other sections of the state uniting
and being wonderfully helped by the
Farmers Union.
It strikes me that this is a day
of organization. Every line of bus
mess has found it to their financial
interest to organize. The railroads
find that they can save money by
uniting. Bankers find that they can
make more money by having an or
ganization to direct the facilities of
the banking interests of the county,

A TOWN NUISANCE.

Occasionally the remark is heard
81 wish | was out of this town, and
then you feel like saying Il
wish you were" for man who
stands on the street corners chewing
and splitting red, telling obscene
stories, cursing the town, finding
fault with his grandmother because
she is a woman, claiming that the
merchants are a lot of thieves, that
the lawyers would skin a man to a
finish, and whole lot more, is a
nuisance and an abOminatiOn. We
agree with the Gainesville (Fla.)
Sun that any town that is pestered
with one or more such worthless
would be justified in exercising cow
hide authority on the bosom of their
pants" No one is obliged to live
where he is not suited. If one hasn't
an encouraging word for the business
enterprises and institutions of his
town he should shut up and go
way back and sit down" If things

Secretary Smith Throws Timely Valuable Suggestions
The Benefit Exchange and Raising Home Supplies

der which they do business, brought
about by organization. Then, you
see, it is necessary for all classes OF
business to organize to do business
properly. Then why is it that the
farmers cannot attain greater de-
gree of success by organizing? There
is no reason why they should not.
The success of other organizations
that have passed into history dem
onstrates that the farmers have the
brain to direct an organization. The
only thing needed is patience and de-
termination. The world was not
created in one day, and cannot be
conquered in one. Let every man be
interested, and lay hold of the great
principles of cooperation, and cease
not to work until every one has been
taught the lesson.
| feel like it behooves the farm
ers of Terrell county, as well as 9th
er sections, to be more Interested
along this line. The country is very
much pressed financially. The ques-
ton arises, what is the cause of this
hurtful oppression? Is it not fact
that the farmers have been too care
less in looking after their farming
interests, and thereby failing to meet
their obligations?
Now, | feel very much impressed
with the idea that this is the APP
pointed time to apply a remedy for
this hurtful cause. Let's diversity
our crops by sowing more grain and
stop so much feed stuff from being
shipped here from the west.
After a thorough investigation it
has been found to be cheaper to
raise supplies than to buy them with
the expectation of paying for them
with cotton.
| want to say | don't feel like
day once a month could be better
spent than for the farmers to meet
in unity and discuss among them
selves the agricultural interests and
express their ideas and views of such
methods as would be helpful to their
cause.

law; swift and relentless punishment
of crime under the law as remedy
for lynchings; investigation of child
labor conditions; means to cheek
oyer-capitalization of corporations;
the regulation of marriage and d1-
vorce by a national law; liberal pro-
vision for technical and industrial
education; the passage of new cur
rency laws; revised tariff or abso-
lutte free trade for the Philippines;
an amendment of the meat packing
law; the development of American
shipping and trade with South
American countries; the comforting
of citizenship on the Porto Ricans;
closer relations with the countries OF
the Orient, and especially with ia
pan; prosperity and peace for Cuba,
but no annexation; maintenance OF
the high standard of the army and
navy as a guarantee of peace; more
men to man the country's coast fortl-
fications.
