This Company has met with success beyond all
parallel in Life Insurance, and offers to the South
ern public Home Enterprise equal to any and sur
passed by none in existence.
Commenced active operations about Nov. l, 1867.
Assets 1st January 1886, 900, now much increased
Policies issued in 16 months $685. covering risks
of 81, 100000.
1t has paid for losses of S22 100, and in every in
stance waived the ninety days time and paid at
1t advises the payment of all cash premiums, be-
cause their dividends will continually decrease each
next payment until nothing will be required and the
policy may be source of income; but it will allow
one half loan on life and joint life policies. One
third loan on other participating policies.
1t requires no notes for loans of the part of pre-
miums, but endorses the loan of its policies until
absorbed by-divdends is payable.
1t has no restriction on residence or travel All
its policies are foreitable and the right OF par
ties guaranteed on the face Of the policy, as part OF
the contract.
1t has the following valuable feature which no
other company gives: The late war taught many the
penalty of being separated from the Home Office by
having their part payment forfeited. "The Pied
mont" guards against this in her policies, and in
event of separation from its Office by any interven-
ton, guarantees to such all the right of nonforfei
ture paid up policy, surrender value and reinstate.

cause.

1t brings money to our people-keeps money with
our people Then why should they continue to
empoverish themselves by sending money off which
can as easily as safely, as probably be spent at
home?
The Piedmont asks all who wish to insure to COM
pare its rates, terms, progress with any company,
and feels confident its merits will equal any other
company.
1t has not been in progress long enough to declare
n dividend, but its policies are now being valued.
Its dividend will begin LIST May next, and it feels
confident it will equal any company in like period,
and be satisfactory to its patrons.

JOHN ". RISON, ESQ.
Dear Sir: Knowing many who are slaves to the
use of Tobacco would like to quit it, would recon
mend your 'Antidote as sure remedy. l certify
to its efficacy, because, after having used tobacco
for fifteen years, | was enabled to quit it without
inconvenience, after using your "Antidote,' aud
have now no desire or taste for tobacco.
W. c. DARLINGTON.
MAYEsvILLE, S. c.. Dec. 2Sth, 1863
certify that have been using Rsons "Tobacco
Antidote' for two weeks, and find that the prepare
ton will certainly overcome the desire for chewing
Tobacco. Therefore cheerfully recommend all who
earnestly desire to abandon this filthy and health,
destroying practice, to use the "Antidote,' and
they will find it comparatively easy matter to over
come the habit. j. A. MAYES, M. ID.

TO THE RESCUE.

Never, in the history of the good old
Commonwealth, have more String appeals
been made by the wretched widow of
State, than those now uttered to her en-
shaved sons to rally to her rescue; and
certainly,it would be acting the part of
cowardly ingrates to turn a deaf ear to
that plaintive call, and desert her to a
wretched fate. To day Virginia is ensla-
we'd and menaced with destruction by her
fendish enslavor-t the Radical party. Her
enemies are moving heaven and earth in
order to accomplish her destruction, and
unless we are prompt to the maternal call,
her last hope has fled and our destruction
and degradation complete.
The Registration Boards are now open,
and we regard it as the imperative duty
of every conservative to see that his name
is enrolled. Our enemies suggest the
tempting bait of dignity, and principle. Is
it not dignifed to practice the very first
law of nature-se!f defence. We must
meet the issue squarely and fairly-we
must act upon the suggestions of reason,
and as has been said he that can not
reason is fool, he that does not is bigot
and he that will not is knaye If you
fail to Register, you fail to give yourself
the opportunity Of voting against your en-
emies. There is but one way Of defeat
ing the constitution, Or even of choosing
on the expurgated clauses. and that will
be at the ballot box. You are now, with
in ten days from the 14th inst, last past,
to determine certainly and positively wheth-
er you will SO arm yourself with the cleo
tive privilege, the only insignia of free
dom, and which is the very boon for
which you are now eontending. Fail to
register now, and the Underwood con
stitution will as surely be adopted as an
entirety, and then by the clauses you
are declared .foreeer from Registering and
voting, and will be placed under negro
supremacy and dominion, who will rule
you with an iron rod Suffer the election
to 60 by default and the constitution with
all its attendant horrors to be adopted,
and then, when it is too late, you will
see that you have wrought your own ruin
Register even if you do not intend
voting, and feel proud that you have vest
ed yourself with the insignia of your man
hood, even if you do not choose to exer-
else it.
Register, and be prepared as the man
who accustomed himself to carrying his
rife when ever he went from home, wheth
er he expected to see game or not, and
who often found it convenient when he
was surprised.

W. McGu of Frederick Co., was chosen
President, and Robt G. Bragouier Of
Shenandoah Co, Secretary of the conven-
ton. After some discussion as to the
manner of voting andsome other prelimi-
nary matters, the convention proceeded
to ballot for the nomination, which, after
a number of contested ballots resulted in
the nomination of Mr.. Smith, of Clark
Mr.. Smith is plain, practical farmer,
gentleman of considerable attainments,
aud is regarded and highly recommended
as a man eminently qualified to repre-
sent this district in the Senate of Virgin
ia. We heartily endorse the action of the
convention, and call upon the conserva-
tive party in the district to do the same.
