: MEMORIAL DRY. Rome Will Celebrate April Twenty-sixth. HON. W. 8. MCHENRY Has Boon Selected as the Ora tor of the Day. Memorial Day in Rome will be celebrated on April 26th this year. From this point of vantage it is not easj to predict just how many Romans may not be in position to participate. Usually the military cf the city is out in full forco. This year the brave boys may be serving their country in the coast fortifications or marching and fighting with the American Ar my of Occupation on the blood stained soil of desolate Cuba. There may be fresh mounds in the sacred territory where sleeps the dust of fallen patriots, ere the date designated. The God of Battles only s knows. While we prepare for the worst, let us all hope for the best. The following card will ex plain itself.lt is the official com munication from Mrs. Halsted Smith, secretary of the Ladies Memorial Association. MEMORIAL DAY.

LIST OF OFFICERS. An Order That Will Become Popular- Rome Lodge No. 114 of the Knights of the Mystic Chain was organized last Thursday night when the following officers were elected : J. W. Hancock, Past Com mander. Rev. C. B. Hudgins, Com mander. J. F. Wardlaw. Vice Comman der. Rev. P. Gilbert, Chaplain. I. 1. Tracy, Treasurer. D. E Lowry, Recorder. C. A. Harper, Marshal. E. A. Powers, Guard. 11. G. Thompson, Sentry. J. N. Shaw, M.D., physician. The Knights of the Mystic Chain as an especial feature pro vides a continuous support for the member at old age and an annual income for the widow paid during widowhood, also supports the children of a de ceased member until they reach 21 years of age, or the member can leave an annuity to bis fath er or mother which yvill be paid to them so long as they live. The annuity system of the Mystic Chain dates back several hundred years in the oil world, the first society organized in England, commencing in the 12th century and is still in active iperation. There are only four annuity societies in the United States and the Mystic Chain is the only one in the south. Its plan and rates will bear the closest inves tigation.* It is the only system of life indemnity in America v here 12 members pay a claim, which is a death rate of 83| per thous and, and when it is remembered that the average death rate per thousand in the United States is only 15i it can be readily seen at a glance the system is perpet ual. The charter list of the Rome lodge will be kept open during the stay in the city of Messrs. Aikeman and Smith, who will remain for several weeks yet at the Central hotel. Due notice of the next meet ing of the lodge will be given in these columns. | Weak >1 | Lungs i £ If you have coughed and * ft coughed until the lining mem- $ ft brane of your throat and lungs ft is inflamed, <!
