The amount realized from the recent

and two dollars and fifty cents This
sum, In due season, will be expended In

the suggestion good Que, that the pu

The, Mutual Aid and Benevolent Lie
Iusurance Association OF LOuislana.


The rapid increase of members in the
Mutual Aid and Benevolent Life Insurance
Association of Louisiana, of which Mr.. John
Davidson is president, and twenty OF our
most energetic and well-known citizens its
directors, shows the great progress life in
surance is making among our people. This
system is entirely new, and our city has
the credit of bringing about what has long
been desired; that is, life insurance stripped
of its great profits, which go to swell the
pockets of stockholders in stock COM
panies, and is eaten up by expenses
in old style life insurance mutual COM
panies. The true benevolence as shown
by the original Mutual Aid" whose office is
No. l20 Carondelet street, is exhibited by
the fact that all classes, rich and poor, men
and women, participate in its offers to its
good deeds. Organized September 9, 1868,
giving it just twenty-one months, it has
enrolled two thousand eight hum|red mem
bers, and has paid out S30,o73, to the great
comfort and relief of those heretofore
declared of life insurance benefits, and no
Oue IucIuUtE Ceiu Day Ao AoS ASAs WIZ SAAA~AA
amount contributed to this great end. The
bug bear of great mortality which was cried
out against this association at its commence.
ment has been proven not to exist and
without foundation. and we can see why, for,
with efficient officers controlling its risks
and a medical adviser worthy of the posi-
ton intrusted to him, no lame risks can
creep into their ranks. This system must
rapidly multiply, and we learn that two
other companies are about beginning work.
There is room for all, and the great success
of the Mutual Aid warrants for the system
general adoption, and if conducted with the
same carefulness as has been done by the
trust placed into the hands of such officers
as our friends, Mr.. R. W. Young, Secretary,
and l.. A. Tournier. Treasurer of the Asso
citation. at No. I20 Carondelet street, we
see many good deeds done. Great honor is
due to these gentlemen for their untiring
efforts in working up this admirable plan of
assistance.
