Paris, Texas, Feb, 29.-The large

YEAR ENDOWMENT.
In the Peoples Building and Loan
Assoc alton.

\ 2O-year endowment policy taken
out at the age Of 20 or 80 ears
costs the investor between s45 and
$50 per year At the end of 20 years
he draws down $1,000 in cash. No
more than he has paid in. 1t has
been simply a savings bank for him
and one which has paid no interest
on his deposits.
At any age one can begin pavinS
$500 in monthly installments of $3.50
each with the Peoples Building and
Loan Association, and at the expira-
ton of from 90 to % years draw
down $500. There is no question
about this being a fact any more
than there is a question of the en-
dowment policy being a fact. The
life insurance companies and the
Building and Loan companies are
both old line institutions. and have
both proven themselves, by their
growth as the greatest financial in
stitutions in the world today.
A number of years ago the lif2
Insurance companies got in bad and
laws were enacted regulating them.
The same can be said OF building and
loan associations. They were both

day which render each of them
safe investment. The difference is
that the insurance affords you
safe deposit place for your earnings
without paying you interest thereon
and the Building and Loan Associa

regulates all building and loan as

THE DEAD.


Capt. r. S. MCGOWAN died at
his .home in Abbeville Sunday,
after lingering illness of heart
trouble. Capt. McGowan has
been a citizen of our county since
the civil war and was one of the
best known and most highly ap-
preciated men in the county.
OF late years he has led retired
life on account of failing health.
He was a brave soldier OF the
Confederacy and a heroic char
acter in the battle for home rights
during reconstruction days; work
that can hardly be realized by
those who are now enjoying the
privileges that cost so much to
the brave souls who endured
the ordeals of that trying period.
A fitting tribute will appear later.

A number of our citizens in
cluding the drainage commits
sioners will visit Tupelo and vi
cinity next week to overlook some
drainage projects there in order
to better understand our problems
in this county. The Yocona
Drainage project is getting under
good headway and the engineer
and crew are expected to begin
the survey soon. 1t will take a
considerable time to get the sur
vey made and the district fully
organized. The entire country is
aroused to the advantages Of
drainage and we are glad to see
our citizens pushing this enter
prise; the valley lands will be
worth many times their present
value il properly drained.

GOOD ROADS.

The road engineer is here and
has his men at work surveying
the new roads in Beat /. The
Board of Supervisors have de-
cided to issue SOS, 900 in bonds To
begin this work with. As We
have stated from time to time We
favor good roads and more OF
them bat now is the time of all
times to see that we get value
received for this road money.
We are not able 10 see how any
thing but some sort of hard ma
terial for the surface OF the roads
will do much il any good. The
soil in this entire section Is such
that nothing but stone, gravel or
some substance of that sort will
insure good roads the yeay round.
There il no use to build dirt roads;
that is spending this bond money
for practically nothing. tbs true
that il the road is well rounded
up, culverts put in and every
part Of the roai-bed properly
drained that this will oe a great
help but we can do that under
the present system; the board
has the right power and it il their
duty to see that this IS done be-
fore paying the contractor, but
this don't mean good permanent
roads. There is out one thing ~
do and that is to build what roads
are built on a plan that will give
permanent roads. Our sugges-
ton is that gravel te placed on
the places that are always bad.
no need to bother with those pla-
ces that never get muddy: fix the
bad places first with solid mate.

the remainder well. We need,
