II it be important to insure prop
against the casualties to which it may
naturally exposed, how much more ma
terial is it to take out policy on life,
so constantly exposed to vicissitudes and
susceptible Of SO many defeats. Next to
the preservation or extension of life
itself, which is not vouchsafed to mortal
sttainments or human knowledge, be-
yond the skill of the physician to miti-
gate and arrest disease, is the prepara-
ton for the great calamity which is the
dread Of all, by taking out life policy,
thus insuring competence for families
that otherwise may be unprovided for
at the sudden withdrawal OF their re-
spective heads.
These reflections invOluntarily arise
whenever the eye Chances at the insur-
ance advertisements, and the many in
ducements that are presented to make a
small investment which will result in
certain benefit, amounting to eonsiders-
bic value. Property may pass away IN
der the changes and fluctuations of BUSH
ness, but an investment in a life-policy,
in an established and honor able institu-
ton, Is safe beyond casualty; and al
though the person so investing may not
himself enjoy the proceeds, it is con-
soling reflection that the widow and the
orphan will be the sure recipients of the
benefit, and be protected against want
and secured in the comforts OF home and
independence.
IN connection with these facts, whiah
are patent to everybody, it becomes iG1-
portant to select the right company in
which to make the investment, to be
sure that no advan age viii be taken Of
such intricacies as are incidental to tbs
operation OF every corporate institution.
The st. Louis Mutual Life Insurance
Company has long since established an
enviable reputation for the correctness
of its dealings, and the amount Of good
it has diffused through every community
where its branches are located. The
resident agents here, Col. McMshOn and
Mr.. Otis, are gentlemen held in the
highest consideration, and by their ur-
banity and sterling integrity, have ex-
tended the usefulness OF the institution
=, -bich they represent. They are identi-
fed with the interests Of cur cit y, and
.hroug, = them the St. Louis Mutual has
become K, 'Own in Its widespread. useful
ness through, ut the valley Of the Lower
Mississippi. It is stoIid, reliable and
prompt. Its polio 'es are liberal in tn cir
terms, and it pays It's losses without
bubble or litigation.
The Memphis Agency has been emf
lently successful, having issued 1888
oslicies, insuring to the amo, mt of 50, ll9- |
100. The annual income from these pre- !
NUNS is 1901, 90S-of which is 1sned to |
policy holders at per cent. 81 Is, 452 +; |

We make this extract from the com
Dsny's circular, which fully corroborates
al we have said, and offers inducements
which are worthy the consideration Of
every one:
By investing according to ones
means from one to five hundred dollars
per year, for five, ten or twenty years in
An Endowment Policy, 8 person is GER
tain Of receiving 5000 to $4,000 at the

Deived them in the meantime in the

paid to bis family at death, if it should
occur prior to the given age"
