Financial Focus
U.S. Government-backed
Mutual Funds
Bjr T. H. STOTTS
Mutual funds that invest in securi-
ties issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
government or its agencies have gained
popularity in recent years. These mutual
funds offer fully managed portfolios of
government securities, such as U.S. Trea-
sury bonds, notes and bills or govern-
ment-backed mortgages.
Many investors consider govern-
ment securities to be among the safest
investments available. Although they are
not insured, they are backed by the full
faith and credit of the U.S. government.
It is important to note, however, that
while the government guarantees the in-
terest and principal on the individual gov-
ernment securities within a mutual fund,
it does not guarantee the future market
value or yield of the fund as a whole.
Like any other mutual fund, the
market value of government-backed funds
generally fluctuates in response to inter-
est rates. You can withdraw your mutual
fund investment at any time for the cur-
rent market value, which could be more,
less or the same as your original invest-
ment.
Yields on government-backed mu-
tual funds are also affected by changing
interest rates. If interest on U.S govern
ment securities declines, your fund s av -
erase yield also will eventually decline.
You will still receive monthly checks,
and although they will be slightly lower,
they will be comparable to what you
would receive from other investments of
similar quality.
U.S. government securities funds
are generally less sensitive to changes in
interest rates than other securities. For
example, a certificate of deposit that pays
6 percent when you buy it may offer a
much lower or higher yield when you
renew it. With U.S. government mutual
funds, the fluctuations are less dramatic
and occur over time.
However, U.S. government mutual
funds shouldn’t be compared to bank
savings or CDs. Government funds are
long-term investments. Bank savings
and CDs offer immediate withdrawal but
typically earn lower interest.
U.S. government mutual funds offer
safe, reliable income. But they do carry
some risk. As with any investment, it’s
important to understand U.S. government
mutual funds before you invest.
GRAVES MARKED - Among the SCV
and UDC members helping to mark graves
of Confederate soldiers buried in Union
Springs Cemetery near Corrigan are Barbara
and Charley Hubbard, Tom Barry, Mike
Richardson and son, Matthew, Lena and
Lester Moore, Gladys and Travis Hel-
penstell, Cecil Wellman, Rosemary and
Ross Cox and sons, Ross John and Joseph,
Kay and Bently Munson, Mack Neal, Faye
Kelly and Patsy Jackson. A picnic lunch was
served at the Union Springs Church pavilion
at the completion of the workday.
First phase of grave-marking
nearly complete; more work ahead
LIVINGSTON - Sons of Con-
federate Veterans (SCV) Ike Turner
Camp No. 1275 and the United
Daughters of . the Confederacy
(UDC) Ike Turner Chapter No.
1569 of Livingston held a joint
workday at Union Springs
Cemetery near Corrigan Dec. 4.
The organizations marked nine
Confederate soldiers’ graves in
preparation for Confederate Heroes
Day Memorial Day services, which
will be held at the cemetery on Jan.
19,1994.
Military market’s were placed for
Jordan B. Arnold, Ransom D.
Chandler, Thomas Jefferson
Grayson, John W. Harrison, James
Thompson Kelly, John George
Locke, Preston Brooks Maxey,
James Thornton and T. Alexander
Wilson. UDC members provided a
dinner meal at the church pavilion
after completion of the work.
The latest effort nearly com-
pletes the marking of all known
Confederate soldiers’ graves in
Polk County, with military markers
known to both groups as Phase I.
Phase I has taken nearly one and a
half years to complete and has
numbered approximately 191
graves thusfar.
Phase II will involve locating the
unknown graves of soldiers in Polk
County. If anyone knows where
there are unmarked or abandoned
gravesites with the remains of Con-
federate soldiers, contact the
UDC/SCV at 327-7576 or in Cor-
rigan, 398-4193.
Judge lists
qualifications

cial qualifications, since it has be-
come increasingly important that
our judicial system perform its job
more competently, efficiently and
fairly in order to merit public con-
fidence. Knowledge of the criminal
and civil law procedures, combined
with current judicial education and
training, assures judicial decisions
based solely upon the evidence
presented and the applicable law.
On the job experience presently
presiding over a court system en-
sures a judge who remains neutral
and impartial as he decides ques-
tions of law and fact.
"I do not take the duties or
responsibilities of the judiciary
lightly," Johnson said. "Today’s
judge must be firm, ensure that jus-
tice is done, yet be fair. I have a
municipal court record to prove I
have met these important qualifica-
tions with both adult and juvenile
offenders. I will provide the resi-
dents of Precinct 2 with the hones-
ty, experience and judicial educa-
tion that today’s educated voter
demands. I will work and be avail-
able full-time for the citizens of
Polk County.”
