LIFE lysuR,xcE-We call attention to the card of
,bo ,uutua Benefit and other Life Insurance Com
mics advertised in this paper. The plan Of insur-
y life cannot be too highly appreciated by persons
limited means who have others dependent upon
them The matter is thus spoken OF by the National
Intel65encer:
1..1 q o-, Intr Of
who has not one more thousands of dollars to
lo,ve to those whom Providence has consigned to his
care to make provision for them in the event OF his
death by paying out OF his means, however limited
the small annual or quarterly premium required for
life while those who are better of,and who
ran nay the required premium without deprving them
selves or families OF any portion of their comforts
should by means omit 50 easya mode OF increasing
the provision they would make against privation in
the day of aiiction that sooner or later must come
to every home. The duty of insuring ourselves a.
gans loss of property by fire on land and by storms
"a the ocean has rong been recognized as incumbent
upon every who observes due regard for the
interest of those with whom he is in any manner con-
nected in the business relations oflife. Are our obl-
cations less sacred to those who have none TO look to
under Heaven but ourselves or the cold hand OF char
ity among strangers or even among kindred and
friends q
We fully en- orse the sentiments of the Ia'egencer,
and commend the matter to the consideration ofthoe
- ~
Ur them to insure.
EXCHANGE BAyK-The following gentlemen have
been chosen Directors Of the Lynchburg Branch for
the ensuing year
