DEATH OF AnR. ARCHIBALD GLENN.

we are again called upon to chronicle the
death Of an old citizen and merchant of high
standing. or the merchants who held leading DO.
sitions IN our business community before the war,
many have fallen away from the scenes Of their
former cares and triumphs in the past four months,
The subject of this sketch, Archibald Glenn. was
born in Halifax county, Virginia, about the year
1876, whence he removed with his uncle and
guardian. the late Judge Chalmers, of Mississippi,
to the Western district OF Tennessee, when quite
youth He WA trained to business n ssou-
phis house of Joseph Cooper, a staunch old
scotehman, OF sterling integrity and fine business
capacity, where he was prepared for that future
business career which he subsequently followed
with great success in this city the leading mem
Der OF the firm of A. Glenn Co. In common
with all Of our leading citizens, Mr. Glenn lost
heavily by the late war, and this, together with
his feeble health and the great changes in the
course OF business since the war, were serious
drawbacks in bis business for the last few years
of his life.
We believe that Mr.. Glenn first removed to New
Orleans about the year 1874, and about five years
afterwards he married Miss Louisa Henderson,
cousin Of our wellk noWn fellow citizens Thomas
and Sam Henderson, and daughter of Alexander
Henderson, Esq, of North Carolina, By whom he
leaves six children.
Mr. Glenn was for years before the war among
our leading merchants, and was clear headed,
liberal minded and public spirited gentleman.
High toned and cbivalrous in his intercourse with
all men, to his friends he was warm hearted,
generous and steadfsst, and though somewhat
reserved in his intercourse with strangers, all
the genial pOliteness and that strict
integrity which charac erized him in all his busi
ness connections and intercourse. His loss will
be deeply deplored by numerous friends, and his
family and relatives have the sincere
of cur whole community.
Mr.. Glenn died at bis residence at Mississippi
City, On the 25th instant, of lingering, and we |
believe, hereditary consumption. at the age of 43
years.

SoNETHIEG FOR EVERYBODY TO READ.-Thet life
insurance is good thing no enc can doubt. II
gives the means for man who, though in the full
enjoyment OF health, knows not at what moment
he may be summoned away from the world, to as.
sure himself that, let his own death come az soon
as it may, his dear ones will not, when he is no
more, feel the pincAings of want. Such an as
surance, such certainty in the midst of Ifes IN.
certainties, is Of incaculable value to man, and
of far more worth than is the small sum of money
necessary to obtain it. To man feeling thus, and
who, when the subject is brought home TO him.
will not feel thus it is natural to Immediately look
about to discover a company in whose care he can
place his money, confident of its full return to his
family. Amongst all such companies, aud there
are very many, we know of none that we can
more confidently recommend to the public than
the Guardian Mutual Life Insurance Company of
New York. This is an institution which was
founded in 1859, and has since then enjoyed unin.
terrupted prosperity. Its policies are all MONITOR.
feitable, and those who know anything about life
insurance will understand the value of this fact.
1t has now in force policies to the amount of
SIS 600, which of itself is an indication of how
widespread is its popularity and how universal is
the public confidence in it. 1t has paid $500 OOO
w5fth of losses since its commencement. lis as.
sets now are one and half million of dollars,
with an annual income of $500 900. The amount
ard velue Of its business are shown by the fact
that its last declared cash dividend was fifty per
cent. Its board of directors embrace the very
best commercial names of New York city, such as
opdyke, Dix, Harper, Rigney, Morgan and Cuyler.
This large and substantial company has recently
an agency in this city and placed its
business in the hands OF our old and much es.
teemed friend, Mr.. Joseph Magner. and in the
hands Of a better man it could not be. Mr..
hsgner's Office is at No. AS Union street, where
all the information desired can be obtained, and
where Mr.. G. A. Fudiokar, the superintendent of
he agencies of the company, can also be seen for
1 short time. Again we commend the Guardiln
Life Insurance TO every man who loves his family.
