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 Pretty p Children “We have three children.

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 make the National Union typographic ally unexceptionable to the membership in whose interest it is published., 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. Send for circulars; free. F. J. Cheney & Co., by Druggists, 75. 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 Anniston the Past Week. Mr. L. T. Allen, a brother of Messrs M. F. and George Allen of this city, 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 liberty. Arnold’s Bromo-Celery.

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. Elactrie Bitters.
