It? expenditurta will bo leas, and with less relative lisk. Tho future dividends will bo more cn tain, and probably greater in amount, and a better re? served fund created. NO RIGHT of old policy-holders will be affected; they will continue to pay the same rate as before; to bold tho same policies as before; to have the sanie rights, benefits and privileges'as before, and havo equal present security with greater future benetft than before. All renewals of old policies will be in name of new Company, under special authority from the respective Directors of the old Companies. A NEW CHARTER was obtained with the rights of policy-holders guaranteed, and we call special attention to the following desirable features in said charter: "SEC. 2.

BERED REAL ESTATE WORTH DOUBLE THE AMOUNT LOANED."* We would also call attention to the rights secured in polity ar part of the contract. Rights of party to non-forfeitnre in all its policies. Rights of party to re-iuatatement-paid up policy, and surrender value where "intervention of armies" or ?ny other cause cuts the insured of! from home office. This feature, omitttd in policies of Northern Companies, cost the Southern people very heavily in the lato war, and should make them seek the only Company that provides against auch contingency in future. Some Companies now havo in their policies, that parties who "take up aims ? gainst" certain named States, "or thc United States." render their policy null and void This is making cer? tain what was bofore uncertain, and is too great a mingling politics, war and life insurance. "The PIEDMONT AND ARLINGTON" has a modtl charier and model policy, plainly stating rights of parties and guartling those rights against sacrifice. lt- given dividends at the end of fir*t year, when all cash is paid, and of second year, when part loan is taken.
