Death Valley and

Death Valley is probably the most
unique natural feature In California.
Ii is located in the southeast corner #
Incyo County. and is inclosed by the
Panamint Mountains on the west and
the Funeral Range on the east. IL Is
seyenty-fve miles long, and at It's mar
rowest point but eight miles wide.
AT one time, most probably, IT was
the bed of an ancient river. The low
est depression is 200 feet below sea
level. but above this rises Telescope
Peak, 1000 feet high, Of the Pana-
mint Range, and dir 'ctely opposite the
Funeral Peak, which reaches an alti-
tude of 5000 feet. During the winter
these peaks are covered with snow.

THE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF

The Life Insurance Company of Virginia

in 1871, it has been operated in Doth
States. and in 1882 it absorbed the North
Carolina State Life. The late Genera +.

company continued for twenty-seVen
wears as general agent for the state or
North Carolina, and for thirteen years.
and up to the day of his death, was

The Virginia" is the pioneer OF in

1.-The insurance that meets the wants of
the Masses" 1t is system by means of
which, upon the payment of small weekly
premiums of or 10 cents, or more, for
which the agent calls, the lives of hus-
band, wife, baby, brother or sister can
be insured. 1t thus gives the certainty of
ready money to persons of moderate
means at the very time it is needed to
meet the expenses of funeral and sick
ness. 1t is really life insurance at re-
tail. In England, where the system origl-
mated, over third of the entire popula-
tion are insured in the regular industrial
companies. Since the company began
operations, it has issued over million
industrial policies, OF which over two hun
dred and twenty thousand are now in
force. In North Carolina alone over
thirty eight thousand people carry policies
in this company.
The Raleigh office has been located at
No. 239 Fayetteville street since 1882. The
company also has district headquarters
in Asheville, Newbern, Charlotte, Dur
ham. Wilmington, Greensboro, Winston

 The Reiff and Wishard cases were discussed keenly on the race course at Derby.
