MEMBER. oooooooooooooooooooooooooa O FRATERNAL MAXIMS. O O o OOOOOOOOOOOtXlOOOOOOOOOOOOO Ths stupendous growth of tha fra ternal order* Is the admiration of the civilised world. A man who Is true and loyal to him. self, to his family and to his country, will be pretty sure to make a good fra ternal man. Very few men leave their families enough money to continue the comforts that they themselves had educated them to expect. The hearty hand clasp of a fraternal brother often expresses more meaning than a volume of words. A small office In the live, active lodge Is considered more of an honor than the higher officer In the dend lodge, where little or no Interest Is taken by the members. Very often we see good results ac complished In a lodge by Just one live, active member, showing an example of what could be done to Increase the membership of hla lodge If every mem ber would do his part. A man who has his loved ones de pending upon him for their mainte nance and has provided for their wel fare .In the event that he can not al ways be with them, will feel more con tented than If he had failed to properly protect them. v - If you are a member of n good fra ternal order stick to It; the time will surely corns when you or your family will receive far greater benrilts than the email sum you have laid into that order while you were a member.

ORDER OF WASHINGTON HAS FINE MEETIHG Georgia union, No. 114, of ths Order of Washington, had, a very Interesting meeting last Friday evening and much Important business was transacted.

TREATISE ON REDMANSIIIP. < By W. HARRY GAGE. When a tnan connects himself with any organization there must be some motives actuating him. If it Is an or ganization for the purpose of making money the desire to Increase his be longings Is-the Influencing motive. If It be a church organization, and. If he be conscientious, u desire to better his condition spiritually Is the actuating motive. I might go on Illustrating the mo tives thut man has In becoming con nected with any organization of what soever kind; but suffice It to eay that after a tnan once Identifies himself with nn organization that organization must be productive of some good to him or ere long be will sever his connection and give his attention to something better. Gleaming through the mist of years, history tells us of an organization which was perfected for the avowed purpose of gaining the thing most de sired by all humanity, a thing exem plified by the lives of the native Amer icans. whispered by the trees of the primitive forest, and sang of b> the lit tie birds therein—and that thing sought for and obtained Is the first cardinal principle of our beloved organization known ns the Improved Order of Red Men, “Freedom." Not for self alone did the founders of these United States la bor, but that tlielr posterity might en Joy that which would be better than they knew. So the founders of the Improved Or der of Red Men bullded their organize- tlon not for their own persona! ag grandizement, but rather to be a some thing In the centuries to come that would be a blessing to all humanity. The Import of this order, with Its prin ciples and teachings,-Is unmistakable; on every hand we can behold the re sults of Its labors. These lovers of mankind, Inspired by a love of freedom, founded an order on naught but the purest and slncerest motives. Us aim to alleviate the sufferings of a brother, encourage tha downhearted, lift up the fallen unto a better and nobler life, sue. cor the sick and needy, be a soothing cordial in the last moments of the dy ing. at the open grave of a brother to waft tha spirit ot ths departed to the -Great Spirit" In the most Impressive ceremony ever used for like purposes, giving ths widow consolation and sup port and tenderly caring for the orphan. Time and element* msy destroy the building where this organisation was perfected, but they can never blot from the page* of history the fact that the principles and teachings upon which It wan founded were lived up to most zealously by Its true members and to- dav holds a high place as a fraternal anil benevolent society and In the hearts of thousands of loyal citizen* and holds the highest place os a purely American organisation, standing for America and Americans. Wherever a branch of thla noble or der, known as a "Tribs." has been suc cessfully founded Its great liberality toward charity. Its unbounded benevo lence. and Iti promptings every day of some generous deed have mnde It an honor and a pride to the community and the good advice and wise counsel dispensed around the coutfcll brand have endeared It to the members of the ,r u e |s a noble thing to be associated with an organisation that has forlts purpose the perpetuation of the prin ciples for which our beloved forefathers fought and bled and died; that love* "Old Glory" as self, and continually battles for the uplifting and betterment of humanity.

The Southern States Life Insurance Company First Policy Issued May 10,’06 Business WRITTEN TO DATE $,5000,000 THIS phenomenal record was made in three states— Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina.

As required byiaw^ the Company has set aside assets representing the full legal reserve on all its policies, and at the same time increased its surplus over 30 per cent.
