GRAND LODGE
FOR NEXT YEAR.
Will Be Asked to Meet in
Macon and Will Proba
bly Come.
II THE 111 CASTLE,
The Convention Will Be Held and
the Coming of the Grand Lodge
Wiil Be a Great Occasion.
A determined effort will be made to «e
--cure the next grand lodge meeting of the
Knights of Pythias for Macon. That Is to
say the meeting for the year 1899.
It looks a long way off. but it Is was
for the Pylhians news, nevertheless, and
t'he fact that there is a strong probability
that the effort will be successful Is still
better news for «I1 concerned.
The grand lodge of the Knights of Py
thias meets in Augusta next May, and it
will be at this meeting that the place for
the newt meeting will be selected.
Macon's delegates will go prepared to
offer Inducements to the Knights to come
to Macon In the following year.
The new Pythian Castle will have been
completed and will be the handsomest
homo the Georgia Pythians have ever vis
ited. and then Macon is the stronghold of
Pythlanksm and t.he presence of the grand
lodge in this city will serve to strengthen
the order no little.
The Knights who are going to Augusta
say that they will bring back the next
grand lodge or they will know Lhe reason
why.
The big bazaar to be given in the new
Pythian Castle when it is completed, is
already the talk In secret order circles.
It is safe to say that it will be one of the
higgemt affairs that has ever been held in
Macon and as every secret order man in
Macon will give it 'his best assistance, the
affair will certainly be on a big scale.
THAT NATATORIUM.
Will Probably Be Built Before the Summer
Comas on.
A movement is on foot to secure that
muoh talked of vatatorium for M icon this
year.
It has been a long felt want for many
years and for several years past has been
talked of very considerably but no distinct
movement has been made to secure one.
Messrs. A. and N. M. Block have con
templati I building one, but have hesitated
until they had some assurance that the
undertaking would receive the public sup
port and the Investment on their part
would be warranted.
Several places have been suggested and
the idea has been suggested that Macon
Gas Light and Water Company might go
into the undertaking with profit to them
selves.
Whether they will do so or not remains
to be seen. But the fact remains that the
Messrs. Block have the finest opportunity
as they have an ample supply of good clear
water and they are in a position to build.
During the winter the people do not
think of the pleasure and the benefit a
good natatorium on a modern scale would
be to the public generally. But when the
summer comes up they begin to cry for it.
The undertaking would undoubtedly 'be
profitable if startul on the right line. A
convenient pool, big enough to afford a
long swim, with trapeze and a continual
flow of pure, fresh water, would pay well
and afford much pleasure to a large num
ber of people.
ROLAND REED
Traveled for the First Time on the Southern
Since His Accident.
Roland Reed played to two very good
houses yesterday. His reception and the
strength of his houses were the highest
compliment that has ever been payed to
an actor in Macon.
It had been predicted that the fact that
Mr. Reed had been booked for the day fol
lowing the Bostonians would lessen his
receipts, but as a mater of fact Mr. Reed
played to better business yesterday than he
has ever found in Macon. He very nearly
equaled the receipts of the Bostonians.
The Wrong Mr. Wright." his matinee
bill, has been seen in Maeou and of course
pleased a very large matinee audience.
At night both Mr. Reed and Miss Rush
were enthusiastically received and Mr.
Reed was called upon for a speech, to
which he gracefully responded.
"His new play, "A Man of Ideas." af
fords Miss Rush more scope than any in
which she has yet taken part with Mr.
Reed. She is very charming throughout
and her triumph as a coquettish widow
is complete. As Rosalind in he second act
Miss Rush is. of course, more charming
than ever and she wears her costume with
a modesty and a grace that is very pretty.
Her song. "Whistle. Sweet Kentucky
Maid." was encored to he echo and there
were indications that her audience would
not be content with one repetition.
Mr Reed is not given as much oppor
tunity as he deserves in the play through
out. but he makes the most of his oppor
tunities. "The Man of Ideas” is a good
play, but Mr. Reed might do better and it
will not last more than one season.
Mr. Reed left at 1:10 this morning over
the Southern road. This is the first time
he has travelled on the road since the
accident and strangely enough he took the
same train as that which was wrecked.

MACON NEWS SATURDAY EVENING,’JANUARY’22 1898.
r Ji
Woman is never in
so great and so real
danger as she is when
she neglects to take
proper care of herself
and take the right
precautions during,
the period precedingj
motherhood. If she (
is suffering from
weakness and disease
of the organs dis-
tinctly feminine, and neglects to take the
needful remedy, she is running the risk of
great suffering, the loss of her baby, and
possibly the loss of her own life. This is a
great and unnecessary risk to run. By tak
ing the proper precautions during the ex
pectant period, she may avoid the usual dis
comforts, and make it certain that the
coming of bany will be safe and easy with
out danger either to the mother or child.
The best of all medicines at this critical
time is Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription.
It cures aU forms of weakness and disease
peculiar to women. It does away with the
nausea of the period preceding motherhood.
It makes parturition easy, painless, and free
from danger. You can get it at the drug
store. If you want to know more about it,
write to Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting
physician to the Invalids’ Hotel and Sur
gical Institute, Buffalo. N. Y.
Mrs. Emma Crowder, of Anthoston, Henderson
Co.. Ky., writes : “ I was once a sufferer from fe
male trouble. Have been using your medicines
for it and have been almost entirely cured. I can
truthfully say that one bottle of vour ' Favorite
Prescription ' did me more good than our family
physician did in six months. He attended me
lor womb trouble previous to the commencement
of taking your medicines and following your ad
vice. It is now my firm belief that I would have
been cured years ago if I had taken your med
icine sooner.
To further eulogize the good merits of your
medicines will say that before taking your med
icines I had miscarried twice, and since taking
it have given birth to a fine healthy boy who
is a pride of the household. Besides this my
monthly periods used to be accompanied with
terrible pains and uneasiness and cramps, and
your medicines cured that."

THAT CIRCUS
Is Attracting Attention All Over the Coun
try.
The Society circus which will be given
by the Elks on March 12th, will be one of
the most novel entertainments ever wit
nessed in Macon.
When the Elks enter into any thing of a
social nature they always make it an
event in the social life of the city, and the
circus which they intend to pull off is be
ing entered into enthusiastically by every
member of the lodge.
The generous offer of the proprietors of
the Harris Nickel Plated Shows is highly
appreciated by the Elks.
At the meeting of the Southern Tariff
Association last 'Monday one fare round
trip rates were granted, and this wild in
sure a large atendance of out-of-town
people to the circus.
‘Mr. Lon Hollingsworth, who was first
selected to do a balancing act on a swing
ing ( trapese, has selected the less danger
ous post in the show of selling red lemon
ade and peanuts.
The show, though full of funy happen
ings, will be refined throughout. Os course
the clown’s jokes will all be fresh and the
songs the latest.
Some of the leading musical talent of
the city will be asked to assist in the con
cert, which will be one of the most inter
esting ever seen in Macon with any show.
Invitations will be issued to Elks all
over the state to attend the circus, and
many have already signified their inten
tion of being present.
WHOLESALE GROCERS.
Met Yesterday in Atlanta and Discussed
Rates.
The Wholesale grocers of Georgia met in
the ball room of the Kimball House yes
terday.
They discussed many matters pertaining
to the interest of the •wholesale grocers.
One of the most impotant matters which
came up in the meeting was the equaliza
tion of prices among the wholesale gro
cers of the state.
This question was the subject of much
debate, but was not definitely settled.
Messrs. Lee and Munsten of Augusta,
were elected chairman and secretary re
spectively.
HAS BLOOD ON IT.
Chief Clerk, E. T. B. Glenn Has a Novel
Paper Weight.
Chief clerk, E. T. B. Glenn, in Superin
tendent Eppperson’s office, has a novel
paper weight in the shap of a stone with
stains of blood all over it.

dence to convict a negro of rocking a train
near Milledgeville some time ago. An ex
when a negro was seen to throw a stone
