THE NATIONAL UNION
A Flourishing and Prosperous Fraternal
Order Makes a Splendid showing.
INTERESTING TO ROMANS IS THIS
Statement of President H H. Caban la a Who
11am Just Returned From Meeting of
Trustees ami Flo»nc«Commltt«e.
The National Union one of the most
popular of the frate-nal orders, which
has a line branch here, Rome council
No. 411, is in a flourishing condition as
the following from the Atlanta Journal
will siiow:
President H. H. Cabaniss, of the Na
tional Union, has just returned from
Toledo, 0., where he spent several days
in attendance upon a meeting of the
board of trustees and the finance com
mittee of that order.
Mr. Cabaniss says he had a delightful
trip and speaks in terms of high praise
of the reception accorded the visitors
by the people of Toledo,
Those in attendance on the meeting
were: H. H. Cabaniss, of Atlanta, Ga.,
president; W. L. Wild, Detroit, Mich.,
▼ice president; C. O Evarts, Cleveland,
treasurer; J. W. Myers, Toledo, secre
tary; and of the board of trustees, Pres
ident Cabaniss, Charles F. Dixon, Cleve
land; S M. Cullison, Cincinnatti, and
E. D. Locke, Toledo, The finance com
mittee included Leo Canman, chair
man, Chicago, Ill,; C. J. Daoust, Defi
ance, and John E. Smith Detroit Mich.
The finance committee reported the
financial affairs of the order in splendid
condition. There are good balances in
the general and special funds, and es
pecially in the benefit fund. The gener
al fund is used for the payment
of all of the expenses of the
order, the special fund is appropriated
to the hiring of deputies who solicit new
members and for other outlay incident
to the extension of the order, while the
benefit fund is sacredly reserved
for the payment of the claims
of its beneficiaries. In such good con
ition has the benefit fund been found
by the investigations that the finance
committee has decided to omit the usua
call for an assessment for the month of
November.
Hag 50,000 Members.
The National Union, with its 50,000
members, has in the names of their ben
eficiaries $150,000,000 of insurance in
force. It is a fraternal and benevolent
society, with insurance as a feature,
and it is organized and operated under
the laws of the state’s of Ohio, being
under thd supervision of the state’s in
surance department the same as the old
line companies. Its governing body,
know as the senate, meets annually at
place previously designated and trans
acts all the business which may be neces
sary in the conduct of its affairs, The
trustees of the order, who are regarded
by the laws of the state as its board of
directors, meet eubsequenty in annual
session and formally ratify and approve
the actions of the previous senate.
At the last session of the latter body a
special assessment of 40 cents per thou
sand on the outstanding insurance was
levied for the purpose of creating a fund
to be used exclusively for the extension
of the order. This will give a fund of
about $50,000, a portion of which, by
the action of the senate, will be employ
ed for the purpose of publishing a

thebeginning. The contract for, the
printing and mailing of this paper has
been let to to the Sunday Journal, and
such facilities have been aecured as will

Motto of Order,
The leading principle of the order is
the cultivation of the fraternal spirit
Its motto is “Unity and Fraternity,”
and it has for the past seventeen yeais
been practicing the doctrine of the
brotherhood of man. A striking illus
tration of the practical workings of its
creed is found in the fact that while the
majority of its members are located in
the eastern and northern states, they
turned in the selection of their president
to the south.
Chairman Canman, of the finance
committee, said the committee decided
that under the excellent showing made
by the benefit fund, the order could fin
ish up the year 1898 with only nine as
sessments, or one less than were called
last year It was true, as had been
stated by President Cabaniss, that never
before in the history of the National
Union had its financial condition been
so strong or its prospects so flattering.
The death rate would not exceed seven
out of each " 1,000 members, which is
not only the lowest in the history of the
order, but nearly 1 per cent less than
that of any other similar organization.
The decrease of the death rate is largely
owing to the judicious and discriminat
ing character of its medical examina
tions under Medical Examiner Brown
The order is preparing to make specia
efforts to increase its membership dur
ing the coming year, and with the in
fusion of the new blood thus secured,
which will still further decrease its
death rate and lessen the cost of pro
tection to its members, the National
Union will stand at the head of the fra
ternal orders of the country.
Deafness Cannot be Cured.
by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed yon have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflamatiou can be taken out
and this tube resorted to its normal con
dition , hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure.

HOW DR DAVIS ROSE.
Promotions In the United States Volunteer
Army During the War With Spain.
The rapid rise and promotion of
Dr. E. C. Davis as an army surgeon
while in the service of the United
States has been a source of much gra
tification to his many friends. He is
one of the most skilful young sur
geons in the south, and besides enjoys
great personal popularity.
Dr. Davis was first appointed chief
surgeon of the Second Georgia regi
ment with rank of major. Later he
was appointed chief surgeon of the
first division of the Seventh arinv
corps by Brigadier General Guy V.
Henry. This division was transferred j
to the Fourth army corps and became |
its third division. Dr, Davis was,
continued chief surgeon under Briga l
dier Generals Jacob Kline and Car
ptnter. i
Two regiments, the First Florida and
Second Georgia were taken from this
third division and placed in the second
divisions with the Fifth Maryland mak
ing a new brigade known as the second
brigade of the second division of the
fourth army corps. It was called the
Southern brigade. As the Secmd Geor
gia regiment was under order? to go to
Cuba Dr. Davis asked to be returned to
it. He was then made acting brigade
surgeon of this brigade and placed in
charge of the brigade hospital under
Brigadier General Hudson.
Dr. Davis’ thorough knowledge of his
profession, and his deserved promotions
are heard of with pride by all who know
him.
MR. L. T. ALLEN ACQUITTED,
Comes Clear of the Charge of Murder in

Mr. L. T. Allen, a brother of Messrs

was tried before Judge Lapsley in
Anniston the past week on a charge
of murder and was acquitted.
It will be remembered that last May
Mr. Allen got into altercation with
Tom Richie, and killed him. He
claimed self-defense and the jury
acquitted him. He was ably repre
sented by Messrs Knox & Mathers.
Mr. Allen's friends will congratu
late him upon his restoration to full

A Great Honey Producinf? Plant Dis
covered In (lie Nort h went.
It is about four years since the great
Hinckley fire, that caused the death of
500 persons in the cut over pine lands
of northern Minnesota and wiped out
every green thing in an area .of 500
square miles, says the New York Sun.
Lumbering bad been almost the only
industry of that region, and it was sup
posed ibat the land had received cuch
injury that it could not support even the
few people who were left alive. But
four years have served to bring to it a
larger farming population, many times
than it nad before, and it now
ships produce in large quantity to neigh
boring cities.
One of the peculiarities of the fire
and the resulting denudation of the soil
anti burning of plant seeds over a very
large area is that th<e have come up
since several entirely new varieties of
plants unknown to the residents of Min
nesota in general, and in one case, at
least, unfamiliar to most botanists. The
former plants are gone. The most intei
esting of the new plants is something
like Scotch heather, differing from it in
a tendency toward the ordinary fire
weed of the northern states, which al
ways follows fire iu forest areas. This
Weed or shrub now covers thousands of
acres of the burned country, finding a
foothold wherever the farmers are not
cultivating. Bee cultnrists in southern
Minnesota and Wisconsin have found it
to be one of the most remarkable plants
as a honey producer, and say that it is
better than any uncultivated honey tree,
not excepting the basswood.
They have begun to bring in bees,
and honey now promises to be one of
the leading industries of the district.
Thousands of hives were set up in the
neighborhood west of Hinckley last
year, and the number is greater this
year. It is said that this year there have
been produced in that section not less
than 1,000,000 pounds of honey, worth
on the farm about SBO,OOO, and this is
a country where five years ago there
were only wild bees and not many of
them. This is almost entirely due to
the introduction of new honey produc
ing plants that have come since the
great fire.

Some Quaint Answers.
Irish domestics are widely noted for
their simplicity and their quailt re
marks. A lady, desiring to mate the
most of her choice tap of table betr, the
merits of which her servants had dis
covered, for it disappeared raaidly,
thus addressed her Irish butler: ‘Daly,
what do you think would be thf best
thing to do in order to save this tner as
much as possible?” “Well, maam,”
replied the butler, “I don’t thinl you
could do better than to place a barel of
good strong ale close by the side <f it. ”
j An Irish girl called at a horse in
I London in answer to an advertisment
for a general servant “Have zou a
j character?” asked the mistress. “In
■ deed, ma’am, I’m sorry to say I've no
I character. I had a beautiful wai whin
I left Ireland, but I losht it the right 1
Classed over to Holyhead in theiteam

in a lie. On being accused by hs mas
ter of stating what was not thitruth,
he excused himself by saying, ‘?lease,

The Scallop.
The scallop accomplishes locmotion
by a series of leaps. When it is sarmed,
or wishes to change its locaion, it
opens and energetically dies its
valves, thus expelling the watt*. The
reaction shoots it backward. 8y this
means the creature is able totrael long ■
distances. Sometimes scallopi make'
considerable journeys in larp com- 1
panics. One can scarcely imgine a
lovelier sight than that of a lock of
these pretty creatures, with she of ev
ery hue, from purple and white » black,
enlivened with shades of pinkyellow
