LIFE INsURANCE.-A short time before the sad
accident which oecasioned his death, Mr.. Austin h.
Moore, formerly of this place, made application to
Etna Lite Insurance Company for policy of in
surance upon his life in the sum of Fire Thousand
Dollars. The application was accepted and the
policy issued, but before the Agents had an oppor-
tuny of delivering it to him. he was suddenly taken
away by death. On last Monday, the Agents of the
Ktna came to Wytheville and paid to Mrs. Moore
the Five Thousand Dollars secured by the provident
forethought of her husband.
Such an illustration this of the practical bene-
fits of the system of Life Insurance, ought to awaken
our citizens to the duty of making similar provis-
ion for the future wants of those they love. To
those desiring insurance, we can cordially recon-
mend ''The Ktna." 1t has assets of over TWelre
MILLION Dollars is one of the oldest, largest and
most successful companies in the United States, and
the same iberality displayed in its settlement of Mr..
Moore policy charscterizes all its dealings. 1t is
thoroughly reliable and affords insurance at the low
est rate compatible with safety and fair. dealing
The Agent of "The Htna" for this locality is Col
Thomas Lewis, of Big Lick, Roanoke county, who
frequently visits Wytheville and other points on the
Va. Il Tennessee Railroad, and will be happy to
furnish any information upon the subject that may
be desired.-UythepiHe Dispatch, 18th,

heightened, honorable gentleman, energetic and
prompt in all his business transactions. He is lave

by the assets on hand and the honorable discharge
of their obligations, Such company is benefit,
nay, blessing to any community, and the company
were fortunate in securing the services of Colonel
Lewis, than whom more reliable gentleman can
nowhere be found. Persons contemplating insur-
ance upon their lives will do well to call on COL L..

nation and procuring polices-Roanoke Times.
