Every effort of opposition, bekrieg a semblance to truth, has been used by Northern Insurance Societies, to wea ken the interests of the "Southern Life" and destroy its rast business, thai is rapidly absorbing the stream of wealth, hitherto pouring into the pockets of Northern Capitalists. .But the abuse to* lavishly and ingeniously expended, hoar proven bot brazen bands of strength, rendering doubly strong and pros perons, thin Home enterprise.. Its bran ches extend orer the entire Southern* Country, and the'shrewdcet financiers of Wall Street rate its stock on a jpar with Govern meat Securities. And eveh' in the Northern cities it is vieing itic cessfully in business with Northern Com panies. It is not our purpose to Ward' off the harmless attacks of Northern' Companies, they hare so long fattened on Southern patronage, that they part with it reluctantly, bnt we wish to offer a few reasons, why Southern people should prefer to sustain a Southern' Com -? pany. 1. Its assets of $1, 200, 000, itr tftire* times in excess of its liabilities. 2. The Capital Stock of ?240,000' U fully paid up, and is rated A No: 1 by the first Bankers of New York. 3. Its dividends to Stockholders paid' annually, are less than the Salary paid: to a President of a Northern Company. 4.

If then it is a duty to Insure your life, it is equally a duty to do so in a Company, that isr aHfed' to' you in interest and in- principle. Why support a Northern' Company, when a* Southern Company ir in your midst. Do yourselves the justice to keep your mens here at home,- support the South ern Life Insurance' Company, and re lieve yourselves from Northern1 thevddon? by encouraging a Southern enterprise.
