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. SHAD —The season for these delicately flavored, silver tinted beauties is short.

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. TABLE OF FORCES.

James Neil, an Old Klondiker, Was Tak ing a Hard Herd to Alaska. 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.

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.” • • • Miss Irene Winship’s card party yes terday afternoon was a delightful compli ment to the visiting young ladies, Miss Kennedy, of Knoxville, Miss Cabaniss. of Atlanta, Miss Mock, of Philadelphia, Miss Mock, of Salisbury, N.

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. Advertise in The News and reach the people. _ _ 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.” The half a cent a word column of The News is the cheapest advertising medium in Georgia.
