Annual Meeting of Stockholders

The first annual meeting OF
the Cotton States Life Insurance
company was held in the office
Of the company Tuesday, Dec. 2.
This meeting is provided for by
the charter of the company, but
as the bylaws provide for an
other annual meeting on the 3rd
Tuesday in January the meeting
was called to order by President
E. C. Kinds and adjourned with
out going into any detail work.
A report was submitted by the
secretary and treasurer, Ira F.
Archer, that shows that the
company has had phenominal
success for the first year. Not
withstanding the difficulties
under which it labored as a young
company, this statement shows
that the Cotton States Life has
done a greater business in life
insurance than any other COM
pany in Mississippi during the
first year of it's existence. This
showing is highly gratifying to
the officers and stockholders.
The meeting was adjourned
until the 3rd Tuesday in January.
1914, when a detailed report of
the affairs of the company will
be submitted.

For the past two months have

Ill treatment Of horses and mules
here. There is no other city in
the United States that would toll
crate the cruelty that Is inflicted
on teams in Atlanta To fully
realize this ii Is only necessary TO
stand on Marietta street or any
busy street and listen to the
cracking of the whips which, If
you did not see, would lead you
to believe that the battle Of At

will find that nearly every mule
Is covered with welts from its
hind quarters to its ears. Some

Unchihish pleasures really
dwarf the mind, the viii and the
emotions, There is no reason why
children should see many plays,
even though the plays may be
fairly unobjectionable, or that
they should have the Indulgence
Of very extravagant clothes.
even II these can be afforded, or
chat they should speed with their
parents through foreign countries
in q motor and fancy they have
seen all there Is to be seen in the
world.
Pleasure in simple amuSements
can be easily cultivated and will
prove blessing through life. An
attraction in character Is to keep
the eager, unspoiled sweetness OF
heart that finds enjoyment in
simple things Innocent pleasures
mean much to everyone. The
right use Of pleasure, not the
abuse OF 1t, will make the proper
balance in life. The search for
the startling, the sensational, the
extravaganza and novel is the or
der of the day. ADJUSTMENTS have
lost spontaneity. They are
planned too far ahead.
Another thing that is ruinous
to recreation is competition.
