J. During the last three months business men

ergy to save their business from ruin.
q, This proves that the value or money invested
In commercial pursuits Is to great degree conun-
gent upon the life Of It's possessor- Your estate ~

in value from the moment OF your death. ="
8. Since therefore, your business ana al your In
yestments will he Of less value fo.morrow1 you are
dead than to-day while you are living, Il Is evident
that your life should be fully insured. The hardness
OF the tines instead or furnishing excuse for de-
law should add weight to the arguments In favor OF

nav premium NOW, how much harder would 1t
Be for your family to support themselves In these

YOU owe to your family. The feeling that your fam

viii afford you comfort which an equal amount OF
money laid out In any other way could not pur-
chase. ssn
This question claims your consideration NOW.
Weigh 1t carefully, and decide before the close OF

1871 was the only possible method OF show
inc what the debt actually is. The amount
of Indebtedness of the State is calculated
frs, by charging oil the bonds ever issued,

interest which the books Of the department
show have never been paid. No one can

will never be called for. Virginia had never
failed to pay her interest. Every one VINO
held her bonds considered them equal TO Bri-
fish consols, or United States six per cents.
and every one who held them collected his
Interest. But from 1859 to 1861 this arear
Of SS,099.43 was left uncalled for. 1t is fair
10 infer that it never will be, because the
bonds are lost or destroyed. Taking this
alone as starting point, we have
