BENEFITS OF LIFE. INSURASCE.-The
general adoption Of life insurance would
be great public benefit, for It would re-
duce taxation and protect the public
funds and the industry Of the people.
If every man upon whom others were
dependent for support, would secure a
life insurance policy, commensurate with
his station in life and the contingent
wants Of those who were thus dependent,
poverty, want and suffering would soon
become comparatively unknown, and
psuperism and crime would be propor-
tiOnately eradicsted. These facts are
patent, and there are but few men now
a-days who are not thoroughly convinced
Of the obligation they are under TO soci-
ETY. and themselves, to insure against all
contingencies in the future. The only
difficulty with most men now is in what
company to insure. Leaving this qLesti0
Uezdta to be settled by documents that
have more space In which to argue the
the matter, we beg leave to call the ST
tention Of our friends-especislly bust
ness men-to q reason why they should
patronizs the St. Louis Mutual Life In
sursucs Company. AL the earnings of
this Company are employed and the
most Of the money paid by it for losses is
distributed in the Southwest-thUs build
ing up the institutions Of the Mississippi
Valley, instead Of going to swell the
bioated Golfers OF the Northern and East
ern capitalists-men whose means snd
influence have ever been used to make
the South and West subservisnt to q
merely sectional domination. This one
reason, if 10 other, should csuse you to

NoTICE.-A report having by some
means obtained circulation, that we
would in the future discontinue the sale
of cotton on commission, we take this
method of pronouncing such report as
utterly unfounded, and we fear of ma
licious origin. Thankful for the very
liberal patronage heretofore received
from the public, we hope still to merit a
continuance of their confidence and
patronage. We take pleasure in an
nouncing that we will continue the cot
ton factorage, grocery and commission
business, as heretofore, and will at all
times be pleased to see and serve our
friends. We are now receiving q large
and carefully selected stock of goods,
purchased by our Mr.. Meacham in the
Eastern markets, which we will sell az
the lowest market prices. Our Mr..
Treadwell will give his entire time and
attention to the sale of cotton, and fat
tiers himself that he will be able to give
satisfaction to sl who may favor us with
their patronage. We are, for the pres
ent, at No. 10 Union street, but will be
IN our new and commodious store, at
our old stand, No. 8 Union street, by the
