The Gentle Art of Walking.

Walking, like angling, is an art:
and whereas Edward Payson Weston
will never ride on a street car, being
great pedestrian, a good average
walker will take the trolley every
time, provided it carries him from the
city pavements, and enjoy his walk
to the full in the park or in the fields
and lanes of the country. And al
though he may take no heed of dis
tances or time spent on the road, this
qualified walker is no fair-weather
saunterer. Today you may see him
passing your gate in gum boots, to-
morrow he may surprise you in a
pair of tennis shoes; the noticeable
thing about him is, he walks. and en-
joys 1t. He may be almost any man
ner of man, have almost any occupa-
ton. and yet be high priest Of the

KEEP PACE WITH TIMES
Advance of South Manifested Nowhere Greater Than
Here.

Savannahs industries and institutions are daily
adding the progressive RIGHTEOUSNESS spirit to thel
enUable reputation for clean, honest and conserva-
tce business methods. and one of her 1nsutu-
tons proves this to a greater extent than her ne"
company, the Commercial Life Insurance and cas-
-ualty Company.
The methods adopted in the organizations of this
company have been commended by hnancers ana
Insurance men the country over. Unlike some other
companies which have been organized in the lass
several years, was launched without cent OF com

for Southern insurance company, organized along
the right lines and after careful study of the sue
cesses and mistakes of insurance companies for the
last fifty sixty years, the Commercial Lie OF Sa-
vannah came into existence. Ways and means were
figured to give the most benefit to the polcyholder
and the company through avoidance of such mistakes
and by adhering to the successful methods, accom-
plished this.
Every day people are learning that after ALL the
old adage Honesty is the best policy is absolutely
true, and it is being lived up to more and more by
individuals The adage has always been recognized
by numbers of men who started out to work the most
good for the most people. The methods and the ous
mess policy Of the Commercial Life to the
most critical inspection of federal or state officers
and citizens of the South An officer of the company
few days ago stated thta the companys object was
to go after the safe life insurance business OF ina
South, and not to write "wildfre" insurance which
only lasts year or and then apses causing loss
to both the individual and the company. He stated
that when pocyholder is entered on their books It
is their object to keep his name there until death Or
maturity of the policy He recited instances showing
that in the life insurance business it is better to go
slow than go out with the idea of getting the bust
ness regardless of cost to the company or the policy
holder
"On the whole, l believe the Commercial Life is a
good clean, straight, conservative and yet wide
awake institution which will give much in insur-
returns the premiums warrant, and as far as
learn from study of the principles of life 1nsur-
ance, this is much as any company can do regard

This matter was taken up some
time ago in council, and this ordi-

was referred recently to the commit
tee which has such matters in charge,
and a report will likely be made to
council at it's next beeting.
The fact that the matter was re-
ferred on a motion to the ordinance
committee may mean that the ordi-

some counter ordinance or other mu-
