Words of CommendatiOn.

Mr.. ]. w. Cherry, Of Norfolk,
Va, Past Great Incohonee of the
Improved Order of Red Men, writes
Great Sachem, John R. Young, of
the Mississippi Reservation, as fol-
lows:
The grandest work Of my term
as Great Incohonee has resulted
from the organization of the Great
Council of Mississippi. For num-
Der of years the effort had been
made to secure enough members for
a Great Council in your State.
When | determined to establish the
Great Council it was a hope based
upon what might afterwards be ac-
complished by the Great Chiefs of
that State, and | feel that you were
the man of the, hour that by your
leadership and energy the hoped-for
results were accomplished. | con-
gratulate you upon the magnificent
work of the Order in your State.
The Union Fraternal AssOcia-
ton, if conducted as set forth in
your prospectus, will prove very
desirable and valuable aid in
strengthening and increasing our
Order. 1t partakes rather of the
methods Of the old-line insurance
than of the usual fraternal plan,
which places it far in advance Of
any insurance heretofore offered to
the members. =

Kind friends-I have finished my course of

some differences between Knight,
Yancey & Co. and r. G. strain &
Co. in regard to the prior transac-
ton Of November 29th, 1904, r. q.
Strain & Co. failed to pay any part
Of the losses on the Liverpool

also failed to deliver any part of the
900 bales of cotton which they
had sold to knight, Yancey q Co.
on November Both and Decem Der

said Liverpool hedges or Gov

parties thereto contemplated an
actual delivery of the cotton; but
after they came into court, and af-
ter Knight, Yancey q Go. set up in
their pleading5 these Liverpool

about S12, 10000, the amount OF

actions which Knight, Yancey
& Co. as the agents and brokers of
r. @. Strain K CO., had paid out
for r. G.. Strain q Co., then r. G..
Strain & Co. did contend that these
Liverpool contracts and transactions
were wagering contracts, etc, and
not enforceable under the law; but
Judge Niles decided that these
transactions were not wagering con-
tracts but were legal, binding and
enforceable against r. G.. Strain &
Co., and gave a perempt0ry charge
to the jury to find a verdict for the
amount of these losses, claimed by
Knight, Yancey q Co., less the

a balance on the 1000 bales Of cot

Co. on November %, 1901; and ac-

said difference, which amounted to
something over s8,O00.O0, and

Many of them are uneasy about
