New York, November 7, l'.Hit. Mess. Goble & Cerf. General Agents, Mutual Benelit Life Ins. Co., New York City. Gentlemen. I have just received the check of the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company for $2, 580.17, and I desire to express to you and to the Company my appre ciatiou ot tue results. I tiud that I have paid you au an nual premium of $02.05 upon an Ordinary Life policy of $2,500 for 29 years, making a total payment ot $1,825.55. The Company has given Die aud my "estate the protection of tbi $2,500 Life Insurance for 29 years, and now return me my entire premiums and $760.62 in addition. I cannot understand just how this is done, but it demonstrates to me that the name "Mutual Benefit" is not in words only, but in deed also. Wishing for your Company a con tiu nance of the prosperity that they are enjoying, I am, Very truly yonrs, William L. Kinoman-. E. A. Wiles, District Agent, Greensboro, N. C. Creditable to Patriotism.

This is as it should be aud is creditable to the patriotism of our legislators, who do not allow paity differences to divide them in making necessary and proper appropriations for the state's chaiitable and educa tional institutions. Indeed the state platforms of both political par ties demanded that these appropria tions bo made. So, thejmrtisan who will attempt to make political capi tal out of these appropriations will be without a following. The tax-payers will be pleased to know that these appropriations will not increase their taxes, and that the rate of taxation will be the same for the next two years that it has been for the past two years. -Chatham Record. Louisville, Ky., N'ov 1, 1004. Mess W Dennis & Co., State Agt. Mutual Benelit Life Ins. Co., Gentlemen. In November, Ihko, wheii I was 'M years old, I took out $3000on the Ten Payment Life plan in the good old company you represent. My annual premium was only $1U0.53, and the ten premiums amounted to only Jl.li05.UO. I am pleased to learn from you that this "Thatikfgiving" the Mutual Benelit will mature my policy on the "Ac eelerative Endowment plan" and that I am to receive $.),0iiii.3H. This is highly gratifying to me, as I have been insured for 4 years, and if 1 had died my family would have re ceived $:l,0()(i; ami this protection hus been secured at a cost of only $l,i:0o.:i(i, ami I will receive iff, I'll.Oi! more than I have paid tlix Company. I consider this better than if f had deposited the amount of my premiums each year in a Savings Bank at 4 per cent, interest. because iu case of death during the first year only $100.5:1, and at the of ten years only ;',li(l4.3s would have been realized, as against $3,000 in the Mutual Benelit. As I have not been in good health for a number of years, the advantages of Life InsnraiiL-e over Savings Banks have been veiy pronounced in my case. If 1 had drawn mv annual dividends, as I had the privilege of lining, 1 would have only a p;iid-up life policy, while bv simply paving my full premiums for ten years, I have changed mv life policy "into an endowment, and now get the full face of the policy, plus $C(!.:lfi. As I have been out of business for some time, I now see that the changing of my life policy into un endowment, by simply leaving the dividends, has proven to be one of the best things that I could have done.

These societies are usually conducted by ladies. 1 hey look after the planting of trees and shrubs. They encourage the improvement of lawns by sowiug grasses, planting flowers etc. These are small mutters but appearances have much to do with life. Every spring for half dozen or more years the Courier has urged the organization of an association of this kind and will continue to do so until th organization is made. It is not a diflicult or arduous duty to pur form the dnties of such an assoe'a tion. The ladies iu many towns much smaller than Asheboro have practically transformed them into a garden of Eden.
