Insurance Men to the Rescue

Mr.. M. D. johnson, President
of the Florida Life Insurance Com
pany, was in the city Monday in
the interest of the new Naval
Stores Marketing Company. He is
not interested in Naval Stores but
the Insurance Companies will
help the Naval Stores operators to
fight the Monopoly that has ruined
the market for the past twelve
months or longer and the Florida
Life will give them every possible
assistance. Mr.. johnson will not
come into Georgia with his Insur-
ance Company for some months
yet, but he expects to do so as soon
as they have made sufficient pro-
gress in home state.

electors on the Republican ticket.
DIR. Osborne is one of the best
known and highly respected citi-

has taken for education and fol-

the most valuable citizens of the
colony since it was founded.

in the present campaign and his
friends are standing by him today

The A. B. & 4. Extension.
From The brownsville Times.

From The brownsville Times.
The report which the Times En-
t9rprise printed some few days ago
to the effect that the A. B. & A.
would complete by July the first,
their extension of the Tampa Mort
ern, in order to connect Atlanta and
Birmingham with Tampa, has
caused another futter of talk and
comment all over the system.
The possibilities and Industrial
advantages to be gained by such a
step, are manifold, both to this Sec
ticnIof the state and to the middle
and northern portion. 1t gives an
outlet through this part of Georgia
to two of the best seaports on the
South Atlantic and Gulf Seaboard.
The natural gain for the section ira
versed is very apparent.
The report is not official, as was
stated at the time, but as yet has
not been denied or affirmed. The
information, we are inclined to be-
lieve, was substantially correct,
and all of us hope that tits.
With through trains from Bir-
mingham and the West to Tampa
and the Florida points, there would
be an added impetus to trade in this
city, through which the mrin bulk
must pass. Mr.. Atkinson the guild
ing light of the whole sytem has
done wrnders, more than any one
would have believed five years ago,
and the people have confidence in
him and his ability to give cfedence
to the authenticity of any that
may emanate from him.

sAcKING THE TUILERIEs.

IN Incident of the Revolution Of 1848
In France.
The sight that presented itself was
the strangest l have ever seen and has
remained in my memory almost as
wildly as if it were yesterday. The
magnificent apartments Of the palace
were soon filled with as strange a set
Of ruf1ans as you could meet any.
where. 1t seemed as If they were all
mad or drunk, and yet they were as
jolly as sand boys. They seemed posi-.
lively to revel in destruction and to
yell with delight as they smashed and
tore everything to pieces that they
came across. There was scarcely a
picture that was not cut into ribbons.
and ornaments, however costly, were
thrown down and broken to atoms.
While I was standing in one Of the
grand apartments, cooking on in won.
der, a little man, with a sword almost
al big ps htzesslf, stood in front of a
magnificent mirror that reached from
the floor to the ceiling. He surveyed
it for a moment, and then, as though
he were about to storm a town single
handed, went deliberately up to it and
with n blow Of his great cavalry
blade shivered it to pieces. AS they
fell at his feet he put on a grand ali
and said "La!" as If this was one Of
the greatest deeds he had ever accom-.
plished and the proudest moment Of
his life.-'Sketches From Memory"
