LIFE INsURANcE.-The advantages
and protection offered by Life lnsu-
rance is now so we'll understood and
appreciated by our readers, that it
appears almost useless for us to call
attention to the advertisement of the
Louisiana Equitable Life Insurance
Company, TO be found in another COL
umn. This is the only Company
chartered by the State of Louisiana,
consequently the funds of the Com
pany are invested at home and not
sent North and West, as in the case
of all other Life Companies working
in the South. This certainly should
induce the Southern people to patron
ize it, particularly as they have am
pie security and prompt payment
The Louisiana Equitable has been
eight years in operation and has paid
to widows and orphans over Three
Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dol
lars. Its administration is composed
of prominent New Orleans merchants
and bankers, whose names and char
acters place the institution in the
most favorable position. John M.
Barrett, our Deputy Sheriff, is the
Agent for the Company-parties de-
string any information can address
him. DR.. James S. Fish is the Med
ical Examiner.

even though he were willing to pay
for the damage, he had no right to
