Religious Notice.
There will be services in tho Methodist
Church, in this place, on Sunday next.
It is probable -JfttfjBie Rev. Mr. PARKS,
of AngustaJ will preach on this occasion.
A Qu?rterly Meeting sat at Harmony
Church, six miles East of. us, on Sunday
last,- at which the Rev. SUM BROWNE
presided. This meeting'is still going on,.
and we hear that it is likely to continue
throughout the week.
'?Particularii?Vfe Ladies."
Last week - we spoke of the card j
of our young friend, HUGH B. HARRI
SON, which came to us too late for pub
lication. This week wo give it place.
HUGH, as a gallant man should, addres
ses himself "particularly to the ladies."
... A Narrow and a Happy Escape
"We hear that on Sunday afternoon last,
ou?>much' esteemed friends, Mr. and
Mrs. Jsrb; H. HoLLrNGswoRiH, with
their little boy, a child of three or four
years, met with an extremely narrow cs
cape from imminent peril. Driving to
call Qn their neighbor, Mrs. JAMES HILL,
the horse took fright soon after they had
entered her gate, and dashed aside into a
field. Mr. H. endeavored to curb him,
but immediately both reins snapped en
tirely asunder, after which the animal
turned and ' tore furiously through tiie
gate again, dashing tho buggy violently
against Uh? trunk of a huge oak. Its
three occupants were first thrown out,
and then tho buggy fell with-its top upon
them. But, strange to say, all three es
caped without tho slightest injury. And
this is a horse, which ladies and young
girls have been driving for years, a horse
thought to be tho most amiable and trupt
worthy of .all horses, e

Last woek there appeared in the Ad
vertiser a communication entitled " How
to Acquire a More Efficient Ministry.",
This .communication was from the pt : 1 of j
Mr. J. H. RUSH, au Edgefield mau liv
ing in. Dougherty County, Ga.,-a son of |
H KN KY RUSH, Esq., - ot' tho Shatterfield
section of our District.
Striking and inexplicable are the coin
cidences of this world! On Tuesday
morning, the-18th., while said article was
being put in type in our office, its author
was* foully murdered in his distant hom?.
In another column, copied from the Al
bany i Ga.) News, will be found a detailed
account of this shocking and bloody
deed, including the apparently retribu
tive doom of" the murderer.

And more deserving to bo immortaliz
ed hi verso ! We auudc to. the heroic lit
tle Dempsey Gilliland of Graiiiteville.
As We coulclnot possibly*devirbetter, wed,
give the ancMing tale 'jistold'by the Au
gusta (Ho)titifHtionaliff :
SAJ\OCCX'KIIKNOA:-A. Nrnuji BOY.-A
very sa"d nccideiit oc'eu,ri\*i bn th>l:ith, ,
in tho: village of Graiiiteville. A little- j
girl, thc daughter of Mr. John L. Atkin
son, while attetupt?ig'to cross the tresse!
of thc Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta
Rail.Road over tho Grauitoville Canal,
fell in. A small boy, only ten or twelve
years of ago, named D?unpst-y Gilliland,
saw the elli ld when she fell and immedi
ately leaped jftfotho -cau.nl to her rese?o-.
Thegallant little hero, though ne was
onby a lew^earsi the senior of the girl,
and of a very delicate organization, suc
ceeded in swimming With her nearly' to
the bank, when her" struggles and con
vulsive grasp caused hiirTto sink with
her, and they were both drowned.
. This aet of h ero: sui In a boy ?xxyouiig,.
is rare indeed, and tho death ol' thc little
fellow in his attempt to save the life of I
another, cannot but sadden the hearts of \
all who appreciate true nobleness. The
father of such a son eau well shrine his
memory in his heart, and eVer remem
ber in* connection with his untimely
death that he died in an effort to save a
fellow-being. The whole community
deeply sympathize with the bereaved
parents.

"Howard." .
Again, this week, "HOWARD'' gives
valuable statistics concerning thc Free
School appropriations for the last two or
three years, and asks probing questions
concerning the dsbnrsemen t of the money.
" HOWARD" is decidedly on thc right
track, and the public should feel beholden
to him for his effort in behalf of right
and justice. He is a gentleman of means,
and has no personal interost whatever in
the disposition of the Free School funds.
" Murder Will Ont."
Most of our readers will remember the
murder of our fellow-citizen, Price, at
Quaker Springs, near Augusta, in De
cember of 1867. This fiendish outrage
was committed by six negro fellows, ol" |
whom one was shot and killed <n a diffi
culty th? next night, another died in jail,
a third i?*ow serving a-term in (b/epeni
tentiary, a fourth turned State's evidence,
a fifth has just been arrested in Augusta,
while tlie sixth is still at largo.

A Chapter of Facts.
Space is in val Habit- in a ne vvspaper, and it is there
fore proposed in this advertisement .t? condense a
variety ol' facts, important to the public, Into a small
compass. Those facts refer to Hosteller's Stomach
Bltters^-what that celebrated medicine is, and what
lewin do. In the tim place, then, the article is
a stimulant, toe ic and alterative, consisting of a com
bination sf an absolutely pure spirituous agent with
thc most valuable medicinal vegetable substance?
that Botanic research has placed nt the disposal of
the chemist and the physician. These ingredients
are compounded with great care, and in such pro
posions as to produce a preparation which invigor
ates without exerting the general system, and tones,
regulates and controls lite si ?mach, thc bowels, the
river, and the minor secretive organs.
What this great restorative will do must be gath
ered from what it has done. The case of dyspepsia,
or any other form of indigestion, in which il has
been pt rsistently administered without effecting a
radical cure, is vet to be hean! from, and the sume
may bu said ol' bilious disorders, intermittent fever,
nervous affections, general debility, constipation, sick
headache, mental disabilities to which the feeble arc
so subject. It purifies all tho fluids of thc bojy, in
cluding the blood, and the gentle stimulus which it
ln\pcru to the nervous system Is not succeeded by the
slightest reaction; This is a chapt'r of facts which
leaders, for their own sukes, should mark and re
member.

BEFORE INSURING YOUR LIFE OR ACCEPTING THE AGENCY OF ANY
COMPANY
15 KAI) THE FOLLOWING :
A lengthened experience lias demonstrated that the rates of Premium ordinarily
charged ny Life Insurance Companies are from twenty-five to thiitf per cent, in excess
of what aro necessary for a, snj'p and legitimate conduct of the business. In other
words, parefqily and'piai?eiitiy-manage? Companies charging "Mutual" rates have
been able to return to their policyholders from 25 to 30 per cent, of the amount charged
for premiums.
When Life Insurance Companies were first organized, the reliability of the data
upon which the premiums were constructed had not undergone the test of experience.
It was thought, therefore, no more than common prudence to adopt a scale of premiums
which would, in any event, meet all the presumed and unforeseen contingencies pf the.
business.
As long as the matter was involved in some doubt, it w as bette? to fix the rato too
high than to incur thc ??di nf makin.git too lp\v ; btv*."*', in the former ouse, the error
could bc easily reme? li cd. itt least in part, by returning to thc policyholders, at certain
intervals, such portion . of the premium charged as was found unnecessary for the
purposes of the business ana thc mmpleic security of the Company.
Experience, however, having satwi'aci inly demonstrated that these rates are exces
sive, what possible excuse can there LM ?- r inaint?iningthein ?
Availing themselves bf th is experience, Hie Directors and Managers of the Universal
Life Insurance Company, at its organization, adopted a scale of premiums in accor
dance therewith, ami winch has proved to be fair and adequate, and all that was
necessary to meet the twjmremi?nfe of the business. These premiums are about twenty
five per cent, lower than those charged by Mutual Companies.
lt also appeared; inasmuch as du: Tilths BO established'were as near as could possibly
be determined fair rates, hud not i:; excess of what Insurance has previously cost the
Policyholders in j\tulu(U Companies, that' ail>' profits arising from prudent manage
ment" justly apd properly belonged to.thc stockholders of.the*Company, .for thc'nsk
incurred .by them in undertaking the business.
Experience has show? that there are sources & P1*00*' 'n the practice of the business
Which' theory will not admit of being r?n'M?bfed as elements inthe calculation of'thc
pn iiiiums. "These results from a saving in tl? mortality of thc members, nf a Conn

Company has received in premiums from its policyholders the sum of $1,517,000. To
effect the same amount o? insurance in a Mutual Company would have cost them an
initial outlay of $2,000,000. By allowing its policyholders to retain in their own pos
session this excess of $433,000, the Universal has virtually paid them a " dividend" of
?nd of
one or more years. It
$483,000, and paid it, too, in advance, instead of at ?i? e:
is impossible to find any example of a Mutual Company furnishing insurance at so
Low a cost by returning'to its policyholders an equal amount upon similar receipts.
SKCoxn.' Participation in the legitimate pro/its of the Company, upon apian which
secures to thc policyholders the same treatment which Directors and Stockholders award
lo themselves. Tins"system of participation, bi connection with thc low " stock'' rates
of premium, must necessarilysecure to thc policy folder's every possible advantage to
be derived from prudent and careful management.
The low rates of premium compel economy, and, independent of participation,
guarantee to the policyholder his insurance at a rate which is not in excess of tue cost
in well managed mutual companies : while, by the proposed plan of participation in
what mav be considered tho legitimate profits of thc business, the cost will bc still
further diminished.
Thus by the combined advantages arising from iow stock rate and participation in
the profits it is confidently believed that thc UNIVERSAL LIFE INSURANCE
COMPANY offers insurance at its lowest practicable cost.
E???T Those of the existing Policyholders who desire to participate in thc Profits
under the new Plan can do so by making application to the Head Office, or to any of
die Agents of the Company.
Tlie Company is in a sound fiuancial.condition.
