a late graduate of Va. Seminary.
The bride and groOmlwere later driv-

their honor. The Rev. stopped over

he is held in highest estimation. Re-

both in instrumental and vocal music.
At 1Op. m, the pleasant hostess Mrs.

hour. Some pleasant remarks were
heard from Rev. Presley and amid
showers of congratulations and best
wishes extended to the newly mated
couple we repaired to our homes.

A Benevolent Institution organized
in the city of DanvilIe, Va, in 1885 is
doing grand work among the colored
people second only to that OF the True
Reformers. A Alexander, the found
er of the order is the right man in the
right place and is guiding the institu-
ton to success. The first lodge COM
posed of II members has continued to
grow until there are nearly four hun
dred branch unions extending over
five states with a membership of about
1900 with property TO the amount of
$40, 600.
ADMISSION FEE AND BENEFITS.
No person is admitted into the un-
ion uniess he or she is of good moral
character and if by chance an unwor-
thy person is admitted, he is at once
dismissed. One dollar and fifty cents
is the initiation but to reap the full
benefits of the order, one must adj
vance to the Degree Lodge and pay the
expense of the degrees Three dollars
per week is given in case of sickness,
the attendant physicians certificate
being the only proof that the case de-
mands assistance.
all money is paid out by the check OF
proper officials. The Grand Union
does not promise only but does care
for its sick, relieve its distressed, bury
its dead, and give death benefit.
The system upon which this union j:
based is so simple that even a child
can understand it. There is no mystic.
Try No invisible brotherhood that sits
