piece of eloquence—eloquent in its
very simplicity—beauty of thought
and divine inspiration, and but for
lack of space it would be published
in full. Dr, Hatcher laid special
stress upon the battle to overcome
self—the terrible struggle necessary
—and the reward, both in this life
and in the life to come, to the one
who won the victory. The discourse
was listened to with rapt attention
by the large audience present.
Yesterday morning at 9 o’clock the
Alumnae association held a business
meeting, and at 11 o’clock a public
meeting, of which Miss Jenneill
Gwyn, of Atlanta. Ga., a former stu
dent of the college, made an address.
Last evening the popular play, “Rip
Van Winkle,” which was presented
by the. senior class Friday night was
repeated, and was witnessed by a
larger audience than before.
This (Tuesday) morning the class
day exercises will be held, immediate
ly after which will be a display of the
work of the a,rt pupils. Tonight a
reception will be given by the senior
class to the juniors.
Tomorrow night will be commenca-

SWEATING in THE PENN
Over .$100,000.00 of standard, legitimate life insurance having been placed in Cherokee County within the pas
two and a half months by the undersigned, our distinguished competitors who have the honor of “representing” the
Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company, have felt it necessary to butcher the Union Central Life Insurance Co. They
have brought into play all of their brawn and brains to make sausage meat out of this greatest of “annual dividend”
companies, but nothing new, their product in this line is unclean and foul-smelling.
Looking out from within the Penn, it must be that the Union Central appears a frightful human object, with
its lowest premiums, lowest death rate, lowest expense account, biggest interest earnings, biggest dividends paid
yearly to policy holders, safest investments (none “speculative”), growing, growing every day—growing right here
around the Penn.
But we are notin the slaughtering business; we are here to sell you good life insurance—the best on the mar
ket—the most of the best for the least—UNION CENTRAL, “THE GREAT POLICY-HOLDERS’ COMPANY.”

Multiply one premium’s saving—Union Central over any of the others—by 10, 15 or 20 years and you have a
big item. Then add to that the bigger dividends Union Central pays annually on these policies, and you can’t be
juggled into any other company.
Union Central Pays Dividends at the End of Second Year,
And it’s an EARNED dividend ; we don’t rob you for nineteen years or for life-time to pay dividends to first- *
year policy-holders whose entire first premium, and more, has been eaten up by expenses.
Would-be Suicides
Are not solicited by Union Central. It’s too sacred a trust, this safe-guarding the policy-holders’ money, for us
to squander it on hasty suicides. Our chief thoughts are for the sane.
Union Central Operates Under Ohio Law
The best in the U. S. for protection of policy-holder’interests. Being a “stock company,” its stock-holders’
liability gives double protection. One stockholder nor all of them can invest a dollar of Union Central money except
as laid down by the Insurance Commissioner and the Insurance Laws of Ohio. There’s no wild-cat speculation,
stock jobbing or “frenzied financiering” in Union Central funds, which accounts for our bigger “surplus percent
age” and bigger dividends. And in companies that pay out more than is received on first-year premiums of certain
forms of policies—in commissions and other expenses—and still pay a first year dividend on those cheap policies,
being “MUTUAL,” it is the other, older policy-holders who have this burden to bear. It’s nice for one year, but how
different thereafter! And how hard on those who by a standard, higher priced policy in such companies, and get a
divdend so much less than the cheap ones get in their same company. The less you pay ’em, the more you get! The
more you pay, the less you get!
