A North Carolina Company That Ha Solid Merit and Financial Strength. The Security Life and Annuity Coin pany, of Greensboro, N. C., af te several yesrs rapid and substantial growth in North Carolina is now es tending its business to this State, an Mes3rs. Upsbur &, Stokes have receut ly established the State Agency iu rbi city. This companv has a paid up guaranty capiatl of 8100,000 and in ad dition each policy is guaranteed b the State of North Carolina, a deposi of securities being required hy th State law with the insurance com missioner of that State. The company invests all receipts from policy premi nins in the Stare in which the policy is written and thes? investments stand back of tbe 'policies and guarantee their worth and absolute security. The polices written are liberal and advantageous to the policy holder, and besides possess advantages over the ordinary forms of Dolicy issued by the old line-Northern life insurance com? panies. The Sfate agents, Messrs. Upshur and Stokes come to Sumter with th? higbest recommendations and are wel? come acquisitions to the business com? mon ity. Mr. Upshur is a non of Mr. Thos. T. Upshur, a former r?sident of Sumter, and a grandson of Col. J. D. Blacding. Mr. Stokes comes from Durham, N. C, where he was well and favorably known and higby es? teemed as a successful and progressive business man Immigrants Wanted. ? In all places where lands low in price may be had immigrants are in? vited and needed to develop the coun? try. The present owners have far less to gain from the influx of new citizens than the new citizens tbemslves. Take anv industrious man who understands the work of gardening and fruit-grow? ing and he can, within seven years, increase the value bf his holdings tenfold. This was well demonstrated in the region around Calhoun, Ga. The uplands surrounding that town are S3 rocky for the most part that it would seem an impossibility to culti? vate them with any known farm im? plement. Some 15 years ago a few farseeing men of the place determined to try to grow peaches on th BS rocky, cherry land. Their success was phe nomenal, and the poor rocky soils rbat could with difficulty be sold for 82 per acre are now worth from S50 to |l00 per acre, and the profits on in? vestment are each year often more than 100 per cent : that is to say, the first good peach crop will pay ail the initial outlay for land and orchard and still leave a good n argin of pre?t. In what other part of the globe in a civilized region can sue*? profits be made or s ich advantages fife red? These fruit lands in all the (order Stat's may be bought on easy te rns, if one fourth of the price is pa.d, or say $2 per aero, the remaining payments rr a be extended over a term of years and r?aid for from the produce of the sri! UutU the apple and peach trees come into bearing, the tomato, berry and sweet-potato crops may be grown oetween the rows of fruit trees, and thus tbe land may be made to yield a good profit even before the products ultimately aimed at are ready for the market.-Southern Farm Magazine.

Don't forget Graham Crackers Coffer Thin Biscuit Social Tea Biscuit Lemon Snaps *The Food Value of a Soda Cracker You have heard that some foods furnish fat, other foods make muscle, and still others are tissue building and heat forming. You know that most foods have one or more of these elements, but do you know *liat no food contains them all in such properly balanced proportions as a good soda cracker ? The United States Government report shows that soda crackers contain less water, are richer in the muscle and fat elements, and have a much higher per cent of the tissue building and heat forming properties than any article of food made from flour. That is why Unedda Biscuit should form an important part of every meal. They repre? sent the superlative of the soda cracker, all their goodness and nourishment being brought from the oven to you in a package that is proof against air, moisture and dust-the price being too small to mention.
