A Happy New Year to you,
Mr. Editor, and all of your read
ears. I
Tho year just closed has in
many respects beena most re- ,
markable ono to many. Some
have added riches to their al
ready accumulated wealth, some j
have not been so fortunate and
havo been oalled upon to give up
landa, homes and the saddest of
all bavo been called upon to give
up their loved ones. With many
renewed obligations and better
intentions we have begun the
new year's work, and may peace
and prosperity reign all over the
land. We hope that the cry of
war has ceased forever.
Miss Mamie A. Hamilton will
attend the Marlboro Graded
School this session at Bennetts
ville.
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas R. Wil
liams, of the Boykin section,
visited our community last Sat
urday. Mrs. Williams has just

for the present year, while "J.

homestead to "till the soil."
Mr. "Billy" Rivers, of He
bron, has purchased a nice farm
from C. S. McCall in our com
munity and will move over next
week. Mr. Rivers is a most ex
cellent gentleman and we give
him and his a warm welcome in
our mist.
Mr. Wilson Cottinghani, of
Ebenezer, has moved down ito
Mr. Jim Coxe's. We are sorry
he has left us.
Mrs. Sarah Odom has a nour
ishing school at Ebenezer, and
is giving entire satisfaction to
all. There seems to be more in
terest taken in the free schools
at present than for many years
heretofore.
Mrs. Lindsey, widow of tho
late John Odom, of Brights Ville,
breathed her last on Thurday
morning last. She was a good
woman, a professed christian for
a number of years and lived to
the ripe old age of four score
years. Her children, grand
children and great grand child
ren will "rise up and call her
blessed." She leaves a large
family connection and a host of
friends to mourn her loss. She

UNOER A PLASTEO TR?E.
TherOi a? HO Requested, Lies James
G. Blaine.
Tho graves of Walker Blaine and
bio sister, Mrs. Alloc Stanwood Cop
pincer, in Oak Hill cemetery, ure
marked by plain monuments, says
thc Washington Post, tho first a
round-topped slab of marble, with
out a lino of ornamentation except
the Inscription. This rends: "Walker
Blaine, born Augustu, Me., May 18,
1855. Died Washington, January
15, 1890." Tho grave of Mrs. Cop
pinger is marked by "a Celtic cross
about four feet high, Inscribed ns
follows: "Alice Stanwood, daugh
ter of James G. Dlaiuo und wife of
Col. J. J. Copplnger, U. S. A. Born
Augusta, Me., March 18, 1800. Died
Washington, February 2, 1800.
Erected by ber sorrowing husband."
Over the grave of James G. Blaine
there is neither monument nor in
scription, save a small footstonc
with the Initials: "J. G. B." At
tho head of the grave stands a
blasted treo,'which ls, In accordant
with the dead statesman's wish, his
only monument. The tree was u
magnificent hickory, one of tho many
of Its kind that livide the honors of j
the hillside With the magnificent

afterward, Mr. Blaine's daughter,
Mrs. Coppingcr, died, bo bought tho
adjoining lot, whore she was in

old hickory tree. It bad been struck
by lightning some yo.irs before and
bad died at the lop, but it was
trhiimed and revived, and now bids
fair to reach as groon an old ago ns

A WISE TEXAN.
Or, How a Capitol Guide Lost n Pos
sible Big Fat Foe.
A stranger from Texas sauntered
Into the capitol mid fell into tho
bands of a guide who offered to
show him thc sights of tho building,
says the Washington Post.
"Good enough," quoth the Texan.
"Boforo wc begin, let's talco a drink."
Being of an accommodating na
ture, tho guide consented, and the
two quaffed a couple of quaffs right
gayly. Tho guide's eyes bulged
whop thc Texan drew from bis pock
et a big fistful of bills in paying
for tho liquor, and be scented a
handsome foo. Ho led tho Texan all
over tho building from tho crypt to
tho dome, and into both bouses. Ho
pointed out all thc celebrities, and
then, by way of a wind up, took bis
victim to statuary hull and placed
hbo on one of Uio ??hi.qjunng stones.
"Stay there," tho guido said,
"till you boar me speak."
Then tho guido disappeared In tho
crowd to tho other stone. A lady
was standing on it, and tho guido
waited a moment fov ber to leave.
The. Texan, who was gett ing uneasy,
looked round, and not seeing tho
.mide, sot to thinking. Just then bo
.aw a young girl look at bim and
? 'He, and later two boys did tho
:io. A great light suddenly broko
rion bim. Instantly he left tho
.?ono, and ns he disappeared from
tho ball and started for tho big door,
be muttered In thc hearing of a po
liceman:
"I may be from Texas, and somo
green about city waj's; but I reckon
Pm a leetle too wise to bo caught
holding Ibo snipe bag again."
And then bo and the guide's fat
fee vanished together.
THE BICYCLE.
Appellations Glvon to tt by Those of
Foreign ToogU.es. '
Here, says thc Courier des Eta's
Unis, is an amusing linguistic con
sultation on tho subject of the de
nomination of tho velocipede in dif
ferent languages. In French it
was called celer?fero and vcloclfcre.
Then came the words bicycle,
bicyclette, vcloeo, and at last volo.
The word bocanc, which bas also
been glvon to it, is taken from thc
Argot. Its etymology is unknown.
It signifies simply machine.
In Italian it is called vclocifcro,
velocipede, and bicicletta. The same
In Spanish.

call lt "t7.u tzu.n," "carriage-tbat

must bcglven to the Flemish. In addi
tion to tlie appellations, "snelwicl,"
"vootwiel," and so forth, some of
tho wags on thc banks of thc Es

and about io per cent, of its assets to
meet any emergency; while The Fidelity
can usc practically all ot its current'prc
miums and assets it necessary; and if
there should still be a deficiency, it' has
all ol its policy holders behind it to tide
it over and save their insurance.
Note this difference also : The Fidel
ity has $30.78 for each dellar it owes,
while most ol the legal-reserve compa
nies have less than $1.15 lor each dollar
ot indebtedness.
Whenever a universal epidemic, or other
improbable condition, shall cause The Fi
delity to make an assessment, ?ver? legal
res? rve company will have already been
swcjtt out of existence.
Thc laws under which the legal reserve,
or net valuation companies were organ
ized, arc very crude and arbitrary. No
new companies are organized under
them, and the old companies have seen
the dangers and have been trying to
remedy the evils. They would get out
of the clutches ol those "unwise and
hasty" laws if they could. They are
forced to charge cxhorbitant rates in
order to suryive.
Take the evidence of the legal-reserve
representatives themselves. Richard A.
iVlcCurdy, President ot the National Lile,
one ol* thc oldest and strongest legal
reserve companies, says:
" The irrelevant theory ol net valua
tions-has been absolutely adopted
in our statute laws as a purely arbitrary
test ol thc solvency ot thc companies, lt
the saine principies were applied as a
test ot solvency in mercantile business,
they would put a stop lo the transactions
of commerce in every one ol its depart
ments."
Chalton T. Lewis, counsel ol the Mu
tual Lile, says: "limit upon mistaken
assumptions, by lalse logic, it has become
in its application a tangled mass ot prac
tical absurdity, scarcely paralleled in
any other branch of thc administration
ol law. To determine the reserve upon
a single policy is to repudiate science,
and sutV*?SMi?,*U?iiiauon aim vpn.~i<ery. .
David P. Fodder, a distinguished in
SU rance man and the first President of
the Actuariol Society of America, said :
"The legislation which needlessly
wrecked so many companies during thc
last score of years was, in a large degree,
the product of ignorance, haste and pas
sion, and we should now endeavor to
correct these mistakes ol tie past, lest
they bear a Iresh crop of evils in the
future."
Thc Fidelity has avoided these "ab
surd," "arbitrary" and dangeroucs tech
nicalities by qualifying under the more
recent laws.
We do nothing sub rosa ; wc avoid no
issue. We invite investigation and chal
lenge comparison. Wc propose to give
all who desire it the very best and satest
insurance lor the least money practica
ble. Respectlully,

^ho glowing advertisements of these times believe what (hoy rp nd ?
Ef they do not, WHY? 1 Wo think tho reasc t 1 < il, tho plotUt'O ia
too often overdrawn. Too many promises ?jo made, tv Inch at never
fulfilled. Wo feel sure, however, that wo Jo not biSTOlVi un. r/.uio.
