YOUNG FRATERNAL
 ORDER IS GROWING
NEW BRANCH OF THE EAGLES STARTS .AusPIclou9LY AT CO LUMBUS, MISS.-MoNTGoMERY TO HAVE AN AERIE.

The Eagles in Alabama are showing an unusual amount of activity at pres ent, and within few days there will be one, and possibly three. new aeries es- tablished in the state.
 Recently pr. James E. Dedman, wor- thy president of the Birmingham aerie 26S, went to Columbus, Miss, where he established an aerie with a charter list of seventy of the best men in that city. Since his return to Birmingham Dr. Dedman has received a letter from the aerie stating that the membership had increased to nearly 100.
 Next week a party from Birmingham aerie will go to Montgomery to install an aerie. This party will be headed by President Dedman and by Worthy President Cad D. Bryan, Jr., of the Sa- vannah aerie which was installed sew eral weeks ago. President Bryan has been in Birmingham several days with the Eagles, and he states that recently he has been over a large portion of the south and that the order Is growing rapidly. Since the Birmingham aerie was installed about a year ago there have been over seventy-fve other aeries installed, and a number of them in the south.
