A SOUTHERN lNsrrTUTIoE.-The New

Company, of which Mr.. Frznk E. Perrin
of this city, is the General Agent, and
whose advertisement is to be found else
where in the UNION AND DIsPATcH:
SOUTHERN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
OF MEMPHIS, TENN.-We have not wit
messed 4 more healthful sign of the return
Of the former prosperity Of the South than
is afforded by the establishment OF this
company in Memphis 1t il the first in
stitution Of the kind organized south Of
Mason and Dixon's line since the war, and
it appears to be quite worthy to lead
the van. The amplitude Of its scope, the
attractiyeness Of its features, and the array
Of the most esteemed Southern men, con-
stituting its officers, directors and stock
holders, are admirably calculated to win
the confidence and patronage Of the citi-
zens of Tennessee and neighboring States.
Its rates, terms and privileges are as ad-
vantageous, and the benefits il profers SO
great and numerous, a. those presented BY
any life institution in the North. The
Memphis press, finding in the distinguished
and respected names that figure in its list
Of directors and stockholders the amplest
guarantee of its safety and iudieiOus man
agement, speaks Of il with manifest pride
and satisfaction. If the Southern people
should sharetheir admiration, and there are
evidences that they do, the Southern Life
will become a great fayoriGe. and eYentu-
- ~ f. l..
dred thousand dollars to its authorized one
of a million. Southern enthusiasm could
not be directed into a better channel, or
bring forth more excellent fruit, than is
produced by the prolific and sacred instrr-
mentality Of Life Insurance.
The benefits of Accidental Insurance are
also offered 10 iis policy holders by the
Southern Life. For nominal sum It
grants policy combining Insurance against
death and accident by which the COM
pany is Obliged topay certain sum weekly
to the assured, in case Of injury, and should
death result from such injury, TO hand over
to the legal representative to the assured
the full sum the policy calls for"
In the South, especially on and about the
Mississippi, where life is very uncertain,
and accidents of frequent occurrence, {.
company like the Southern Life ought to
prove a great blessing tothe public and
should be supported literally by the nu-
merous admirers of Southern institutions.
We have received the Pompany's first
quarterly statement, very satisfactory ex-
hibit rejecting great credit upon the man
agement, which appears to consist of Off
GERS of experience and skill: Geo. W. Nc
earn, Esq, being President, Messrs. r. c.
Brinkley and S. Tate, Vice Presidents, J.
B. Dods, Esq, Secretary, F. S. Davis, Esq,
Treasurer, and Nessrs. S. B. Falkenbnrg
and L. B. Hatch, General Agents.
The Southern Life is fairly and auspi
ciously launched, and We shall expect to
hear cheering news Of its confined pro-
gress and prosperity.
