Life policies are now generally conceded to be
among the most certain and most desirable of
investments. This Company, managed upon
principles of economy, offers the lowest rates of
Premiums, consistent with safety, and 1o0er than
any other Company doing business in the State,
and its success is an established fact. Its profits
are realized in Virginia and by Virginia people,
and all reserve from Premiums, as a security to
the Policy holders additional to the Capital
Stock, is invested by the Local Boards in that
section of the State from which it is derived.
Being convinced, by their knowledge of the
integrity and prudence of the gentlemen who
compose its directory, and by thorough exami-
nation of the plan of organization, that it is in
every respect a reliable Company, the citizens OF
Stanton, named above, have themselves SUBJ
scribed to its Stock and taken policies, and feel
warranted in commencing the enterprise to the
favorable consideration of the Valley peope.

DECISION REGARDING THE HoMEsTEAD.-An i'm
portant decision (the second of the kind deliv-
cred in the State, was made by Judge Hendren,
of the Augusta County Court, on Saturday last,
that the present Constitution of Virginia went
into effect the 26th of January, 1870, at the time
ofits approval by Congress, instead of the 9th
ofJuly, 1869, the time of its adoption by popu-
lar vote. The consequence of this decision u.s.
that debts contracted prior to January 2eth,
1870, are not included in the homestead exepp-
tions; but that all contracted since that time
are-the Constitutional provision az to Home
stead operating proprta vigore. The Act of AS
sembly passed in June, 1870, did not give any
additi ona effect to the Constitutional provision
its sole function being to provide uniform
mode for executing and recording homestead
deeds, &c.

peculiar to the season, and It IS incumbent upon all
who desire to pass through the ordeal of It's cold
