Want New Members.

one member pledged himself at the
meeting to secure five himself.
communication was read from Mr..
Max Krauss, who, as chairman of the
Railroad Committee of the state or
ganization, told of the effort that had
been made to secure interchangeable
mileage from the Southern Railway;
the offer that the road had made, and
the suggestion of the National Rail-
road Committee that the State Com
mittee reject the offered compromise.
Mr.. Krauss has the power to act IN
the matter, and the communication
was sent the post merely for its in
formation. The post Endorsed the ac-
ton of Mr.. Krauss.
Georgia Building Buttons.
AS a part of the plan to raise money
for contribution toward the Georgia
building at the st. Louis Exposition,
the Georgia division of the order has
secured a number of buttons bearing
the photograph of the building as it
will appear, and will sell these to the
public at so cents apiece. Each post
will take number Of the buttons and
will deposit the money raised from
their sale with the state secretary
and treasurer. MIR. M. +. Meyer. Post
A, has taken 100 buttons.
Some weeks ago subscription lists to
secure money for the Georgia building
from the members of the post were
also started, and committees appoint
ed in the various sections in Georgia
and Florida. to solicit funds. The
committees have been fairly successful
and will continue the work until the
next meeting of the post, which will
be the latter ma rt nf March
