the duadrenniaf conference of the church which met seven years ago at Galveston and there he inausurated the splendid plan which the church adopted for the care of it's superan- nuated ministers. The idea and the plan was that of MT, Vandiver and his strong personality carried 1t through and settled 6 problem which had con fronted the church for many years.
 He was a generous contributor. nov only to the church but to every cause with which 1t was associated. He gave llberally to the Methodist Wo- mans College which is to be estab- lished in Montgomery and he iabored zeaiously as e member of the locating commission. He was one of the most active and useful members that the Commercial Club of Montgomery ever had.
 MT. vandiver was especially happy in his home life. He was married in 1871 to Miss Sallie Merritt of Midway, who survives him.

 The vandiver home was thronged with visitors Wednesday. Men from every walk Of life called there and great mass Of flowers was sent in by those who knew him and who will miss him.
 The funeral services will be held Thursday afternoon at o'clock in the Court Street Methodist Church. of which he was a member for so many years. Rev. O.. c.

Charity Where Charity Is Due;
 Story Of Local Life Struggle


 there was nothing to eat. She went out. tramped the etreets until she found some more work to do, ana bringing 1t home struggled with the machine for hours until just befofe sunrise. finished 1t. and after a few hours sleep, took the completed task to the patron. The woman who had had the work done. and 1t was done very nicely. looked at 1t, said she was dissatisfied. and refused to pay.
 Undauuted the little woman searched again. found more work and fought with 1t through the next night, return- ed 1t and was told she would not be paid until the end of the week. Then she came home desperate, her head ached and swam, her eyes were red. and gnawing pain In her back. from the constant use of the foot machine. nearly drove her crazy. She was About to give up, but the cries of her babies for food put new heart in her. There was q little meal in the house anu sne made a porridge, and fed it to the children, but there was not enough for her.
 That night she lay awake all the long hours through. her brain in q. whirl, and too exhausted and fataishede to sleep. Then cold wave came and there was no fuel their garments were all summer weight ana the little fami- ly shivered through the night, grouped on the two mattresses on the floor, iy- ing together trying to Keep warm.
 The next day she appealed to the mayor for help and was given pro- visions and A load Of wood. These lasted two weeks After that the flght for existence started again. She aps' pealed to d church society and was given :. and told where she could get employment as a servant. but she could not leave her babies alone all day The coin bought enough food for the six to last two days. Now that Is gone.

Vitality And Food of wonaan, Drained By Ton To Keep children
 Arive---Peverty stfil

Tn the great number of appeals for help that come to Mayor Teague, oc- casionally among them is found one that really deserves help. But tbe majority seem to think all the mayor has to do is to order things for them and that they are forthcoming. There- fore the mayor is constantly beset by q number Of dead beats who make the going very hara for those who really should be helped. The Mayor has had such world of experience by this time that now he Is able to size the ap- plicants up, and the beats are coming to the conclusion that he is not an easy mark, while the deserving find in him a ready source of help.
 One instance where the mayor sized up the situation, was that of a woman. She was rather small. neatly but poor iy dressed, and with an air of dignity and unmistalxable refinement about her that at once compelled attention She asked for some provisions and fuel. and immediately an order was issued. Then Mr. Teague had the case investigated.
 The applicant was Mrs. Alice Jor- dan, who came to Montgomery/a Few months ago from Luverne. Her hus- band was not with her. but he had left her she said, to take care of five little children. the oldest ten years Of age. Mrs. Jordan secured a room In the home Of A Mrs Smith, s32 Bell Street, and there began fight for the existence Of her babies.
 She secured tho use of q sewing machine and keeping the children in the room with her, she went to work. For a while she was able to get enough work to pay expenses, but the inces- sant work and the constant care uf the children told on her and she could not stAnd the strain. Then she tried to attend the children by day and work at night. but 1t was too much and gradually she lost her strength. Days came when she could do no work, and the pitiful income dwindled.
 The machine neemed to grow larger and more heavy each day and to hes strained eyes the seams and thread seemed to danea and blur, but she fought ganeiy on. Then one of the children got sick and required her con- stant attention. By the end or the week the baby was better. but the mother was worn to q shadow ana 4a | F 4 .
