GOING SOUTH.

On account of the severe winter and
the prevailing grippe in the Northern
and New England states, there have
been a great many people taking ad-
vantage of the low, round trip excursion
rates that are offered by the Old Domin-
ion Steamship Company. They sell
round trip excursion tickets. good until
first of June from New York to Southern
Pines and return, including meals and
stateroom for $25.5o. There has never
been an accident on the Old Dominion
since its establishment many years ago
and we would advise all those suffering
from cold, grippe rheumatism or any
trouble of the air passage to GO down to
Southern Pines and spend the remain
ing part of the winter; and there is less
fatigue, less liability of taking cold on
the way by going on the Old Dominion
than by an all rail route.
For information as to renting cottages
by those who desire to occupy suite of
rooms at small cost and do their own
house keeping, and those who desire to
engage hotel accommodation in advance
write to John Patrick Chief Industrial
agent. Seaboard Air Line, Pinebluff,
N. c. For round trip ticket apply to the
Old Dominion ticket office in New York,
or at the Seaboard Air Line office 81

Some men are opposed to lodge
entertainments on the ground
that when man takes his wife
once she will be so well pleased
that every week when lodge
time comes around she would
want to 90 again. The fact is,
however, that when a man takes
his wife along and they have a
jolly good time together with
the crowd, and get back home
and ready to retire by eleven
o'clock. She can't understand
why it is that when he goes alone
''the lodge has so much busl-
ness" that he is unable to get
home before three O'Clock III the

You cannot reap unless you sow. You
cannot secure new members unless you

Try and initiate one member each

hard to accomplish.

the agent of the order. The order de-

y loU IIOW WlllO UuC 4N 4NcIUlOIcll
Union in Passaic is attracting
considerable attention we take
the liberty of presenting the
handsome faces of two of the
important officers who have the
love and esteem of their fellow
members. Both are modest and
unassuming men who we know
will feel embarrassed when all
the ladies and gentlemen who
read the RECORD are looking at
them, and who will probably
have club ready for the editor
for this bit of notoriety, for it is
done without their knowledge
or consent But the faces of men
chosen to fill places of honor
and trust are public property.
Just now Mr.. Trimble besides
being at the head of the largest
and most popular furniture
establishment in town is at the
head of the local council of what
is destined to be the largest and
best fraternal organization in
the United States, because of
it's national features-The Ma
tional Union.
The other gentleman whose
handsome face adorns this page
of the RECORD is not only the
leading confectioner and baker
of our city but being a method
ical fnancier has the honorable
distinction of being the watch
dog on the treasury of the Ma
tional Union in Passaic, or, to
express it in a more dignified
parlance, Treasurer Frank M.
Uehlein, Jr. Frank" is one of
the "hail fellow, we'll met" sort,
who can give and take joke,
and like the rest of us, enjoys a
good feed. AS a worker on a
committee he is a hustler and
much of the success of the
National Union here is due to
his persistency in having the
finances conducted in a business
way. Long may he live and
prosper.
THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY.
The Financial Secretary O. S.
Freeman, for business reasons,
resigned his office Thursday
evening, the resignation to be-
come operative on March 1st.
He assured the Council of his
continued cooperation and this
issue of the RECORD proves that
his interest in the order is not
tagging.
The rules governing the duties
of the Financial Secretary are
very strict and were it not for
the fraternal spirit which
prompted the organization of
a Loan Fund the families of a
number of members would be
without protection to-day. Yet
more than one has taken offence
at this kind provision which pro-
tects their interests at a time
when they neglect them. What
would the. Collector of Taxes
and assessments think of the
man who having failed to pay
his taxes at the specified time
had been subjected to the penalty
and increased interest required
by law, would ring him up, and
in a tone which implied that the
Collector was personally to
blame for the fine, say: "You
have sent me a bill for taxes and
assessments, including a fine,
which I refuse to pay. Send me
a bill to-date without the fine,
strike my name off your list OF
taxpayers and I'll get out of
YOUR town. I won't have any

WORK ON THE ETHEL.
Three Shifts Steadily Employed
Tunnel Is in 400 Feet.

Work on the Ethel near Index is quietly
progressing. but going ahead at a good
rate, says the Miner. At present eleven
men are employed, working as three
shifts. Over 100 feet of tunnel work
is already done, with something over
250 tons OF rich ore on the dump. They
are sinking a shaft on the ledge and have
an excellent showing on the lead. The
mine has been equipped with a good track
and ore car, and the ore is sorted and
stored as 1t is brought out.
Mr.. Ellis, the superintendent, has lately
fitted up a pipe, using running water for
create current. which works admirably.
Mr.. Downs is prospecting the claim. and
for that purpose will sink a shaft to a
great depth. and will put in hoisting ma
chinery as soon as the wagon road is COM
pleted.
There is probably little likelihood of
the company shipping ore for some
months, but everything Is being saved.
and later on in the season a few car loads
may be packed down to the road and out
by wagon.
Parties who nave thoroughly examined
the Ethel state that the ledge is exceed
ingly wide. and the assays already OBJ
tanned give great value.
