for. We have succeeded in collecting
more than enough TO pay the original

bank deposits or In we'll secured notes
and we haven't heard from half of
policy holders yet. Now we have got
to raise enough more TO pay the re-
ceivership expenses. interest on bor-
rowed money and we wish to pay back
40 per cent OF The money that policy
holders have paid Mr.. Voorhies, the
receiver, 50 they will get out uf the
muss just the same as the rest Of Us.
We all consider that GO per cent of
first assessment is better than TO have
any more expense added. Ii we all
get busy we can pay up this debt in
the next thirty days aud do it cheap
er and better than IL can be done un-
der the receivership. / will see that
each policy holder has chance to pay
their share and II each one comes TO
the front we viii get out for less than
go per cent and be out for good, 10th
past, present and future. No more

Washinuton's Snuff Box

Atlanta, June S.-The fact has just
been brought to light that George
Washington's snuff box exists in
Georgia. 1t is the property of Miss
Mary Gay of Pauldins county, and
has been seen by a number of At
lantians
The snuff box was presented to
Miss Marys grandfather by General
George Washington himself. Miss
Gays grandfather was a mounted
courier on General Washington's staff
during the revolutionary war, and the
snuff box was presented to him by
the Father of His Country as a token
Of personal esteem.
The heirloom is round and fat and
about three inches in diameter. The
cover is hand-painted, and the recep-
tacle contains several pinches OF snuff
at least 100 years old. The snuff box
has cen handed down from ole gen
era lion to another, but was lost sight
of until few days ago when it was
brou sht to light in an old trunk.
