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." Dr. Pierce’s Pellets cure Constipation. 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.
