I.sEe umsur.mee

This subject so little understood or APP
preciated few years ago, is attracting
considerable attention throughout tho
country. Thousands of our wealthiest
men who imagined their fortunes made,
and their families provided for beyond
all contingencies, by the result of the
late war have been left comparatively
poor, and are now compelled to struggle
hard for the means of living, without
the prospect or hope of laying aside
anything for their families when they
are taken away.
To all such life insurance is invaluable.
1t offers in return for the payment of
small annual premium, the absolute
certainty of competence and comfort
which no other investment can possibly
produce. Its results are practical, i'm.
mediate, and certain. If We insure to-
day, and die tomorrow, we are posi-
lively sure of leaving our families well
provided for whether our estates are
worth dollar or not For this reason
all thinking, prudent men. in every Sec
ton of the country, are taking hold of
life insurance as the most reliable means
OF protecting their families, when they
are no longer permitted to provide for
them.
While ether institutions are uncertain
and liable to fluctuations and failures.
life insurance, If honestly managed, is
afao6i1xy EOnndaI nv, SriQr-
tific principles, as certain and as I'M
changeable as the immutable laws ofna-
ture, it presses onward, accommodating
millions and carrying happiness to the
homes of thousands who without its be-
nificent aid, would be left to mourn in
poverty and want.
Who can look at the little children
that cluster about his knees, at the fond
wife whose smile sends thrill of joy
to his heart, reflect that their happiness
depends upon the frail tenure of his life,
their support upon his active exertions,
and that want, misery and desolation
must inevitably follow, if he should be
suddenly taken from them, and not re-
alize the necessity of making that provis-
ion for them which is alone absolute
and certain in its result.
The question is not, Can we afford to
insure, but, Can we afford to neglect a
duty OF such magnitude and Importance.
Can we afford to carry the risk ourselves
or permit our families to carry it, when
a reliable, responsible Company stands
ready for a small annual premium to
carry it for us, and make ample provis-
fon for those we love. The Carolina Life
Insurance Company, of Memphis, one of
the most fiourishing institutions of our
State, managed and controlled by men
whose characters for integrity and hon
esty, perseverance and capacity is I'M
surpassed in this or any other State,
offers basis for security, pcrmanence
and profitable investment, unsurpassed
by any Company in America.
This Company is emphatically a home
institution. All its premiums are i'll
vested at home, where money commands
good interest, thereby producing bet
ter result to the policy holder, as well rs
aiding in building up and roconstructing
upon durable basis the institutions of
our own State.
To all desiring life insurance, and no
man with a dependent family ought to
be without it, we would say unhesita-
tingly, go to the Carolina Life Insurance
Co. at once, and secure policy. Capt. B.
F. WHITE, the State Agent, is now in
town, and will present the claims of his
company thoroughly to our people be-
fore leaving.
