BREWSTER, BACK
FROM CINCINNATI

Edgar Brewster returned yesterday
from trip that included visits TO
Memphis, Cincinnati and Louisville.
He went as far as Memphis with his
daughter, Miss Henrietta Brewster,
who was on her way to Chicago to
resume her studies in voice at the
Bush conservatory.
Mr.. Brewsters trip was primarily
for the purpose of attending the 50th
anniversary convention of agents OF
the Union Central Life Isurance com
pany, which he represents in this sec
ton. There were present at the con
yention about 7G0 men, busy for most
of the year in different parts Of the
United States inducing men and Wo-
men tC provide against want and SUI
fering for those dependent unon them,
The convention, says MI. Brewster,
was one of the most profitable and in
teresting he has ever attended.
Among those speaking at one of the
meetings was the holder of policy
No. II, issued in 1867, his appearance
provoking the remark that He PROV
ed an exceptionally good risk"
Discussion of the probable effect on
the life insurance companies OF the
federal farm loan banks brought out
tie conclusion that the establishment
of these banks would have no more
effect on the life insurance companies
investment than the establishment of
the federal reserve system had upon
other banking institutions. Insofar
as the Union Central is concerned, it,
as Mr.. Brewster puts it, cheat the
government to it," having adopted the
amortization plan one year before the
government enacted the farm loan
Eank law.
The Union Central now has assets
of more than 115 millions, and has
paid out to benefciaries of policy
holders more than 10 millions.

be represented by a comprehensive
display of geological specimens. Our
people haye been taught that Missis-

Is possible that we have been mistaken
to a greater or less degree. Recent
developments have tended to dispel
this Illusion.
A specially designed room of ample
propositions will be provided for the
geological exhibit. and DR.. Lowe is
already at work collecting and arrang-
ing an excellent showing Of our wea tn
in that particular line. 1t will be an
eyeopener to our own people as well
as the visitors who will come in great
crowds during the Exposition.
The space occupied and designed for

filled With display OF a permanent
pature and 1t will be there for inspeci
ton by every one who visits Exposi-

No law has ever been passed in
our statutes that has done so much
to suppress the unlawful sale of
liquors as the law known as "the
Quart-at-a-Time Law" The inn
portation of liquors by express
has been reduced over so per cent
In my district, to be accurate, 81
per cent. In one town the number
OF packages has been reduced Is
per cent. The number of cases
against blind tigers now on file as
compared with same period last
year under gallon law has been
reduced rs per cent. Nearly all
the liquor brought in under the
quart-at-a-time law is for private
consumption, and not for sale.
This Law is a clean knockout for
blind tigers. 1t is true AUTOMOBILE
lists are bringing liquor through
the country at night from the Isl.
and at Vicksburg, but this can be
stopped. The quart at time law
does prohibit, and this is the rea.
son why the liquor men IN New
Orleans and Memphis are making
the fight for its repeal.

Heavy have been the hearts Of ma
ny especially those of seven dear
girls aud the husband, Wesley Hold
err, since the death of their dear
mother and wife. Estelle Holder, on
Monday morning Jany. 8, 1917. For
on that morning after an illness of
only few hours:
Her soul to Him who gave 1T, rose,
God led II to its long repose,
Its glorious rest;
And though her sun is set,
It's light shall linger round US yet,
Bright, radiant, blest,
All those who knew her shall ever
cherish sweet thoughts of her kind,
gentle, courteous manner, and Chris
tian acts. Oh; she is needed SO
much, but, dear ones. why weepY
We know not how soon we, too must
answer His call, and we should be
willing to succumb to his wishes for
He is greater than we. Still we
think of how much she is needed to
care for and watch over those dear
orphan girls whose father, William
Henderson, passed away only few
years ago. and indeed it is heart
rending to picture the once happy
home that can never be home with
out her; for,
Now alas the place seems changed;
She is no longer there,
And the sunshine of the scene
With her did disappear.
Max our Heavenly Father comfort
sustain and bless those who are be
reft, is the wish OF.
Their friends,
