 Marvel City W IL L VISIT LODGES State President Jerry Fountain Will Assist in Installation of Officers
 In Several of the
 State Aeries.
WILL VISIT LODGES

Bessemer, December 5.-(SpeeiaD-Ghie of Police George W. Jones is being con graduated on all sides for the good or der that has been kept in this city so far during the holidays.
 Without doubt this has been the most orderly Christmas season ever witnessed in this city and yet 1t is claimed by all that more people have appeared on the streets and that there has been more ae- tivity and more business than any prev ious Christmas for years.
 All the plants and mines in the dis triet have been in full operation right up to Christmas, when all employees were paid off in full, placing a very large amount of money In the hands of the people and consequently in the coffers of the mer- chants and traders. Business has been enormous, and the merchants are well pleased.
 No accidents of serious nature have been reported, and the police and other city officials are happy over the record that is being made.
 The volume of business done during the past two or three weeks by the post office and local express offices has been the largest for >years, and the officials Ill charge have been taxed to their utmost capacities to keep up with the pressure.
 State President Jerry Fountain of the Fraternal Order of Eagles of Alabama has issued the following notice to the subordinate aeries of the state:
 Will Visit Lodges.
 Dear Sir and Brother-I promised the delegates at the state aerie that l would, if possible, visit every aerie in the state during the first two weeks in January for the purpose of installing their officers.
 T discussed the matter with the grand worthy president, and he approved of the idea. In order to visit as many as pos sible, I have set the following datesi
 "I will not be able to visit Mobile' and Montgomery I therefore appoint Past Worthy President B. Luscher to install the officers of Mobile aerie and Past Worthy President J. J. Sullivan to in- stall the officers of Montgomery.
 q will be in Cullman on Tuesday Jan uary 2; at Decatur, Wednesday, January 8: at Huntsville, Thursday, January 1; Tuscumbia on Friday, January D.
 "The officers of Florence aerie will meet me at Tuscumbia for the purpose of being installed. 1 will install the of- ficers of Ensley and Pratt City at Ems ley aerie on Monday, January 8; of Bir- mngham aerie on Tuesday, January 9; Bessemer aerie on January 10; Anniston on Thursday, January H. and Gadsden on Friday. January F.
 'I trust that the membership of each aerie will make 1t a point to have this meeting one of special interest. If it does not fall on your regular meeting night, have your president to call a special meet ing for this purpose.
 You might also make arrangements for a social session with refreshments, which no doubt would be an inducement to the members to turn out.
 T would also like very much for each of you to secure a class of candidates and trust as many aA possible to be obli- gated.
 Put your members to work and see if you cannot increase the number of Eagles in the state from ten to twenty to each aerie at this time of installation.
 Please see that all of your members are notified of this meeting. and insist upon a full attendance at each place.
 'I will try to have with me some brother to speak upon the principles of the order. Yours fraternally.
