We are glad to snnouncs the pre.enc,
in Opslousas, Of Gsnr. D. II. Maury, for
mevly Of the Confederate army.
Gsn1. Naury is the general agent, in
the South western States, ofa Life Insur.
soos Company from Richmond. Va,
known ~ the Piedmont Company. It VA
10 nsmed because many Of ita atockhoId.
srs and officers we're born 10 that besuti
ful region Of Virginia. lying At the foot o.
Blue Ridge. and known - the Pisdmoot
Country Of Virginia.
We think this company pseaents pecu'
Iisr claims to our people. It 10 exclusive
y owned snd managed BY Southern men
-by whi:h W mean-msn born and bred
and widely trusted in the South; who
have freely given their blood and thsis
treasure 10 deisncs Of the South, and who
stsovs shooessly to svsst from % the evils
under which Ws ass now sufaring.
In dsvoting their energies and abilities "a
the Piedmont Company. these gentlemsu
hsvs justified The high confidence rspossd
10 them, because of their course in the
var; and this company 10 now generally
regarded - one Of the most vigorous, ssfs
and prosperous compsais working in the
South. When GsoI Nsusy 6sat became
the general agent in February 1888. there
had bsss issued. only about three hundred
policies. On The 6rst of February last.
there had been Issued 1900 policies, and
n this date. 5000 have been Issued.
Before policy Wa issued, the full
amouat oe $1,000 eos working capital.
was paid up BY ssockholdsrs and 'oaned
on bond and .oongsgs. The total net
asssts Of the company 6ow. wilI amount "a
near oe00, 900. sod siucs ito organisation
it, total losses hsve amounted 10 e45 600
q. Tho fact 10 quite remarkable. and sesma
70 show the care Of the officers ofths Pied
mont in accepting applications for policies
that out Of 5000 pessons whose risks have
been takes siscs the company was 6sse
osesnized there should have been only tea
deaths.
Unliks other companies chartered 10 the
North which cannos lend money outside
Of their own States, tho Piedmont may
invest it, fands in any State 10 which the
company 10 working, aud with the view Of
