The Knights of Honor.

The Knights of Honor is a fraterna beu- ehcial society. 1t insures its members in the sum of two thousand, one thousand or five hundred dollars as they may elect. The different subordinate lodges pay sick Denehts Tn such sums as the majority of the members in each lodge decide It has l26 900 members scattered all over the country, it being national organization. and consequently much stronger than if 1t was divided up to correspond with the different sections of the country.
 The supreme lodge is the head Of the or- der and is composed of it's officers, com mittees and representatives from grand lodges. The grand lodges are composed of representatives from each subordinate lodge in the state and are governed by such officers and committees as they may annually elect.
 Subordinate lodges are composed Of members of good social and moral stand- ing, who are admitted upon petition by ballot, after passing favorable medical examination. The petitioner must be a white, male person, between the ages of eighteen and fifty years, in order to be ad- mitted as beneficiary member. Persons dealing in intoxicating liquors are not admitted.
 The supreme lodge realizing that the death rate among members for the first two years of their membership was less than one-half of one per cent. and believ- ing that equity and justice demanded that newly inflated members should receive ihe ba,e oi this low death rate as well as those yho joined in the early days of the order, voted that for the first two years of membership each person presenting himself for initiation should pay into the Widows and Orphans Benefit Fund ac. cording to the following rates:
The Forrest City times., 1895-11-08
The rates of assessment after two years in the order will be as follows:

These assessments are collected and forwarded to the supreme treasurer as often as they are required for the pay ment of death benefits to the widows and orphans, or dependents of deceased mem- bers. Upon receipt of official notice of the proof of death of any member the supreme treasurer immediately forwards two thou sand dollars to the trustee of his lodge. to be paid to the benetciaries of the deceased and all lodges are given official notice of the payment. On the goth day of each month the supreme reporter determines the number of assessments necessary to provide for the payment of deaths that may be registered during the ensuing month. when all lodges are notified to for ward the assessment they have in hand and collect another assessment from their members within thirty days, and hold the same in readiness for the next call from the supreme lodge.
 The method of conducting this fund is based on sound principles. and furnishes species of insurance that is cheaper-as 1t is obtained at bare cost: more secure. as the money is mostly i'll the pockets of the members until needed; and easier carried because it is called for in small sums and only as required-than that offered by any other plan yet devised or likely to be.
 Founded upon business principles. it is calculated to perpetuate itself. as it is to the interest of every member to have 1t managed systematically and honestly. The sympathy. pride and sef-respect, as well as selfish interest of each member prompts him to see that the benefit is adjusted at once. upon satisfactory evidence of the death Of brother. and all understand that this can be secured only by prompt pay ment of the individual assessments. II does not promise to give something for nothing. For further information addres.
