competition Of the wealthy corporations Of the

70 our section, IN a condition 10 ehallsnge uni
ssrsal rvspse, and eonhesnee. Indeed nothing
bat the s,reies, Integrity, utmost diligence and
most ikillful management could have led TO a
resali % iAitefing, when ". consider how many
immense shterpflses were started and hare mil
ed anes the close Of the war. A an instance
Of this marked reeupcraiion Of home interests,
we refer with no little pride TO the Southern
Life Insurance Company Of Memphis. II was
orraallsd In JaIy, 1880, and started on a capital
ofs7oe, 900, since which time Il hAspaid tl la, 900

boldeu, and has nov Assets amounting TO over
500, 600, while the rates ofiu increase In bus
iness Is sueh ~ would be ereditable to the
sealthissi company In the country. It's 6rst
President was Dr.. q. W. McCarn, one Of the
most accomplished hnaneiers and insurance
men ofthe Yves, and South, by whom the new
corporation was managed successfully until he,
with Others Of our bes, citizens, was suddenly
cut OF by the terrible epidemic Of 1867. The
present presiding officer Is Amos Woodruff, Esq.
whose equally able management assisted by
Ben May, &c., who has been secrs,ary since
its organization, and has been well aud favora-
bly, known In Memphis mercantile circles for
years, the company has continued 10 prosper,
and has been brought finally to tina, high point
Of success and standing that enables Il 10 CON-
pete sharply with institutions, resulting, Il b
alleged, In efforts and Misrepresentation ealcu-
lated TO stir up distrust and prejudice, and Ia
the face Of which Il has advanced 10 a manner
that would be surprising sven had no obstacles
been thrown In the way. Indeed no better ev.
idenee of vitality and solidity need be pre-.
ssnted than the names Of liz officers and direc
tors, gentlemen who would not countennnee AM
