TO GO IN FORCE
TO SMNAH,
The Macon Post of the Trav
elers Protective Associa
tion Will Join in.
VERY Rapid increase
In the Membership of the Associa
tion—The Georgia Division is in
a Most Prosperous Condition.
The annual convention of the Georgia
division of the Travellers' Protective Asso
ciation will be held in Savannah during
the third week of April and promises to be
one of the most successful conventions
ever held by the Georgia division of the
Travellers' Protective Association.
Every post, in the State is shaking active
preparations looking to the sending of a
large delegation. It seems likely that the
posts in each of the leading cities will
charter special trains and go to the city of
the convention with tlying banners. There
is considerable enthsiasm over the outlook
of the convention and the crowd that gath
ers in Savannah will be a jolly one.
The Georgia division of the Travellers’
Protective Association is in a prosperous
condition. For the first time in its history
not only every post, but the State board,
is out of debt, and has a large sum in its
treasury.
Under the leadership of Mr. E. E. Smith,
the president who Atlanta gave to the as
sociation at the last convention, the mem
bership is steadily increasing and the
Georgia division is rapidly becoming one
of the foremost in the United States. It
is estimated that the membership will
reach the 1,00 mark before the State con
vention.
In the work which he has done during
the past year, President Smith has been
actively assisted by the presidents of the
various posts, who are: Mr. Joseph Loven
stein, post A, Savannah; J. E. Maddox,
post B, Atlanta; J. T. Hunt, post C, Co
lumbus; L. H. Wood, post D, Macon; R. L.
Lumpkin, post E, Augusta; George E.
Johnson, post F, Atlanta.
Mr. J. T. May, chairman of the State
board of directors, has resigned his posi
tion on the board on account of being fre
quently called out of the State on business.
The railroads will co-operate with the
various posts in the matter of transporta
tion to Savannah at the time of the State
convention, and the drummers will be fur
nished with every facility. Savannah
promises to entertain the delegates In her
usual graceful manner.

FALLS IN A TRANCE.
Ida Duffield Emulates Hre Friend, Ida
'Sharp.
Camden, N. J., Jan. 27. —The big congre
gation which gathered in the Wesley M. E.
church in Cremer Hill last evening, ex
pecting to hear Miss Ida Sharp tell tlhe
sitory of 'her recent visit to heaven while
in a trance, went away disappointed.
They say, however, another young wo
man fell unconscious and possibly started
on the same journey which Miss Sharp
described so well.
The sermon was delivered by the Rev.
C. D. Thompson. While he was speaking
there was a commotion in one of the pews,
and it was found that Miss Ida Duffield
had fallen to the floor unconscious. She
was carried to her home in a trance.
Mis Ssharpe was in the church when
Miss Duffield fell unconscious. She left
at once.

REINDEER DIED.
James Neil, an Old Klondiker, Was Tak

New York, Jan. 27 —Seventeen reindeer
were executed by hanging on the voyage
from Hamburg of the British steamer
Glantcn, which reached this port after a
tempestuous voyage of fourteen days.
The rolling vessel was their executioner.
Fifteen other reindeer survived the trip,
bult cue of them has a broken knee cap.
The fifteesi were all that were left of a
herd of forty reindeer rounded up in Fin
land. This journey involves two tedious
railroad trips and too long sea voyages.
The reindeer were purchased by James
Neil, an old Klondiker. who believed there
was money in shipping reindeer to the
land of gold. All went well until the voy
age to New York began.
The reindeer * became frighrtened by a
severe storm, and in their struggles sev
enteen were literally strangled to death.
Neil wept when he heard of his misfor
tune and is much cast down.

Here is a description of some new menu
cards that may be a suggestion to some of
our Macon artists:
“The newest design in decorative hand
painting, such as appears upon menu
cards, photograph frames, calendars and
the like, is, so far as known, without a
technical name, but is pretty enough for
the finest sort of title. It consists of a
background of delicately tinted flowers, in
which any hue may predominate, though
the background is most effective when
white. A thick arabesque or latticed de
sign in gilt and in low relief stands out
from the flowers and sets them off, while
attracting attention on its own account.
The effect as a whole is charming, as well
as novel. It is a harmonious combination
of the heavy and elaborate details of deco
ration with the light and delicate. An
other reason for the charm of the design is
because it has as yet not been used lavish
ly. The few cards and frames whereon it
has appeared make uuse of it sparingly, a
hint in one corner or a glimpse down one
side being counted sufficient. This alone
ought to make it popular. Perhaps deco
ration is following in the footsteps of gas
tronomy, which this year, accordlngto the
powers that be, is conforming unto the
simplest of rules and regulations. It is no
longer the fashion to decorate a great deal,
any more than it is the fashion to eat or
serve a great deal.”

WHAT IS THE
MACON TRUST CO?
A Check Signed by Them
Turns up at the American
National Bank.
THOUGHT TO DE A FRAUD,
Their Name Does Not Appear on
the License Book—They Have
No Charter.
Is there any such corporation as the Ma
con Trust Company, or the Macon Hosiery
Company?
If there is, tfie city officials and the
American National Bank would like to
find them.
A few days ago a check for $25 was re
ceived at the American Naticanl Bank, of
Maeon, from the New York clearing house.
The check was printed wibh “The 'Macon
Trust Co.” across the face and on the end
was printed “The Macon Hosiery Co.”
The cheek was drawn on the American
National Bank, Macon, Ga., and had been
sent to a firm in San Francisco, Cal., for
collection, from whence it was sent to
New York and then to the bank at Macon.
When ‘the check was received Cashier
Hilyer at once made (inquiry as to w'hat
was the Macon Trust Company or the Ma
con Hosiery Company. No one knew. He
went to the city hall to see if they had a
license. They had not. He went to the
court house to see If they had a charter.
None had been granted.
With the exception of the month and
day the date line was printed. The year
1898 being printed at the end of the line.
The check was signed by G. E. Carr, treas
urer.
It is now believed that the check is
merely a swindling device, such as the one
whish was reported from San Franoiseo
yeste-rday by the Asociated Press. The re
port was made public by the bank of Cali
fornia and is as follows:
“Quite a number of drafts have been
presented and refused at the Bank of
California purporting to have been drawn
by the North Pacific Trading and Trans
portation Company by B. H. Northrup, W.
B. Weare, secretary.
“The company liis unknown at the bank
and neither its name or names of the
signing officers appear in the San Fran
cisco directory. All drafts so far present
end appear to have been negotiated in
New York though dated San Francisco.”
Though the name of the company whiich
drew these drafts and the one which drew
the one at the American National Bank
are different, it is the same scheme, and
fraud is the (general opinion.
If this tea fraud, .Mr. iHillyer says, he
looks for more of these checks to turn
up.
The one sent to Macon willn not be ac
cepted, but will be returned to New York.
THE FAMILY PHYSICIAN.
Specialist,? Will Soon Make Him a Mem
ory of the Fast.
Another thing that must hurt the doc
tors’ trade here is the passing of the fam
ily physician. Specialists abound in Now
York, but family physicians are fast dis
appearing and promise presently to bo as
rare as hairy elephants. When you have a
family physician and like him, you call
him in whenever there is anything the
matter, and even if there is not much for
him to do you have the fun of advising
with him and being reassured. But when
you go to one wise man for croup, to an
other for gout, to another for dyspepsia, to
another for headache and to half a dozen
others for ailments too intimate to be set
down it’s a different matter. You don’t
go to a specialist until you are sure theie
is. scupething the matter. You have to
wait until the symptoms get some develop
ment before you know which specialist to
go to, and often enough, while you are
waiting to find out, the whole disease
peters out and mends itself. In old times
in New York when there were family phy
sicians, when you suspected you were go
ing to he ill. but were not sure, the family
physician got the benefit of the doubt,
but the specialist does not. livery one who
has had experience knows that that is true
To call in a familiar friend is one thing;
to call in a distinguished but unfamiliar
gentleman is another. The things tiiat
cause us most anxiety are things that nev
er happen. The illnesses that brought
physicians a large part—perhaps the most
—of their pecuniary reward were illnesses
that didn’t really materialize. The family
physician got the benefit of the vis medi
catrix naturaa. He got there in time to
stand by and see it work. It was his
friend and ally. The specialist benefitshy
it in less measure, for he is less promptly
summoned, and it is liable to finish up the
job before ho gets there.
The London Lancet has lately expressed
its regret at the signs of the waning pres
tige and influence of the medical profes
sion. That looks as if the embarrassments
that beset physicians in New York were
operative in London also. There seems to
be some reason to anticipate a time when
New York families will contract with a
syndicate of physicians—comprising a com
plete set of the necessary specialists—for
the supervision of the family health at a
fixed annual price.—Harper’s Weekly.
Old Forts In Pennsylvania.
Pioneers of Pennsylvania who went be
yond the limits of the country when peace
was established by Wlljiunj Penn’s treaties
with the Indians and undertook the cul
tivation of fertile lands in other parte ot
the state found it necessary to have in
every community fesmo substantial place
of refuge in time of uttaofc by hostile sav
ages. Wherever there was a eetfcLiijent of
white men there was a fort or blockhouse,
usually built of heavy planks and stout
logs, and in most cases jnclosing a spring
and one or more houses.
Over 200 such primitive forts were built
in Pennsylvania prior to the year 1783.
Some of them, besides furnishing shelter
for the settlers train attack by the Indians,
were used at times by the provincial sol
diers. The names of a few are recorded in
history, but most of them had only local
fame and long ago passed almost com
pletely out of memory. Few traces of any
of them remain, and all means of identi
fying their locations and the part each
played in the early history of Pennsylva
nia might soon have been lost but for the
thoughtfulness of some member of the leg
islature of 1893, who secured the passage
of an act requiring the governor to ap
point a commission to make an inquiry
Into the location and history of these forts
and report upon the advisability of mark
ing the site of each with a suitable tablet
or monument.
This commission was appointed by Gov
ernor Pattison and did its laborious work
well. The state was divided into five sec
tions, each of which was assigned to one
member of the commission, and the com
bined reports of the commissioners are
published in two handsome volumes, en
titled “Frontier Forts of Pennsylvania,”
a valuable addition to the historical ar
chives of the state. The descriptions of the
two hundred odd forts are necessarily brief,
but the main facts in regard to each are .
plainly given.
Nothing as yet has been done toward
the erection of the tablets suggested by the
act of 1893, but in some instances this im
portant work is receiving the attention of
the Society of the Daughters of the Amer
ican Revolution.—Buffalo Commercial.

The man with consumption used to be
considered just as good as dead. His doc
tors condemned him to death just as surely
as if he had been convicted of murder
and must die on the scaffold at dawn.
All that has been changed. There is
now no reason for the consumptive to
despair. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis
covery will cure 98 per cent, of all cases
of consumption. That is a startling state
ment, but a true one. Consumption is fed
by impure blood. It is an accumulation
of impurities in the lungs. If the blood
is made pure and filled with the purify
ing properties of the “Discovery” there
is nothing to replace the tuberculous mat
ter that is coughed up and expectorated.
Gradually the lungs become free and
clear, the lung lining becomes sound and
healthy, and the disease is conquered.
Then begins the process of flesh building
and soon the hollow cheeks are full, the
step is firm and elastic, and health blooms
in every feature and in every action.
“I was taken iH in February, 1892, with head
ache and pain in my back,” writes H. Gaddis,
Esq., of No. 313 S. J. Street, Tacoma, Wash. “I
called in a doctor and he came three times. He
said I was bilious, but I kept getting worse. I
took a cough so that I could not sleep only by
being propped in bed. My lungs hurt me, and
I got so poor that I was just skin and bone. I
thought I was going to die, till one day I was
looking in a little book of Dr. Pierce’s and I saw
where the ‘ Golden Medical Discovery ' was rec
ommended for a cough. 1 tried a bottle of it and
it did me so much good that I tried another one
and it made me sound and well, so I can recom
mend it to anybody. It saved my life.”
SOUTH MACON DOTS.
Your correspondent attended quite a
beautiful and hap'py wedding at the ele
gant home of the parents of the bride, near
Walden yesterday. Miss Fannie, the
handsome and aceemplisihed daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. James Russell Avant was
the bride and Mr. Ernest Dipford, a pop
ular conductor on the Georgia and Ala
bama railroad, iwas the fortunate groom.
Ernest Lipford is the son of Mrs.
Josephine Dipford, of Richmond, Va., and
the only brother of Mr. Eddie Lipford, of
Savannah.
The hallway and parlors were beauti
fully and elaborately decorated with ipalimis
and pot flowers, neatly and elegantly ar
ranged by Mrs. William Bedingfield and
Miss Minnie Avant, aunt and sister of the
bride. A large number of invited guests
filled the spacious parlors, the veranda
and front portion of the hallway. At 10.30
a. m. Miss Fannie Huff gently touched the
keys of the piano, playing .the wedding
march with perfect tune and melodious
sweetness.
Mary Vinson and Alma Avant, ushers,
marched in front, taking their stand in the
centre of the hall, one on either side, each
raising and holding a curtain which re
vealed the bride and groom in front and
maid of honor and best man immediately
in the rear.
Those marched in perfect order, keep
ing time with the delicious strains of mu
sic facing the minister, who stood waiting
to pronounce the words which would for
ever bind heart to heart ’till death they
do part.
Rev. R. 'M. Ellison, of Knoxville, Ga.,
officiated, using the solemn, though beau
tiful ceremony of the Methodist church in
his well known graceful and happy style.
The bride wore a light gray broad cloth
gown trimmed with white bloth and black
braid, carrying a bouquet of white roses,
hyacinths and maiden hair fern.
The minister stepped forward just after
the. vows had been said, himself clasping
their right hands saying “those iw'hom
God hath joined together let no man out
asunder,” holding their hands while
pronouncing the (benediction, the group
forming at 'this juncture a beauteous tab
leau scene charming to the view.
Miss Minnie Avant, sister of the bride,
was maid of honor, Mr. Ed Lipford,
brother of the groom was best man.
Immediately after the marriage this
brilliant and happy couple left via the
Georgia Southern and Florida railroad for
Ellaville, near Savannah, their future
home.
A large number of costly and. elegant
bridal presents was received.
To you, Ernest and Fannie, allow us to
bespeak for you a long, safe and pleasant
voyage o’er life’s unknown sea and at its
final end, m'ay your beloved spirits take
thellr everlasting flight across that glit
tering strand, alighting into the most
glorious counts of the Celestial city there
to rest in peace “while the years of eter
nity roll.”
Quite a lively three-cornered fight oc
curred in South Macon this morning. The
participants were Leonard Holt on one
side, and George and Angus Farmer on
the other side.
From the best information obtainable it
appears that Holt was the aggressor and
came out third best in the affray. Holt
used a stick, one of the Farmer boys
threw bricks, the other a large iron pin,
all of which “hit the mark.”
Too soon for spring fights to open, better
don’t, boys. “Smith.”

STILL RISING.
The Mississippi Is Within a Foot of the Dan

Memphis, Jan. 27. —The rise in the Miss
issippi river at. Memphis during the 24
hours ending at 7 o’clock this morning
was greater than that which oecurreq
during the proceeding day. This morning
the gage registered 32 feet, which is a rise
of ejght-,tenths of a foot. This makes the
stage of water here within one foot of the
danger line. An observer predicts con
tinuation of the rise. No damage je
