Ipresent at this meeting and delivered
a very helpful address, congratulating
the members on their determination

their local conditions, as was the pur-
pose of the meeting. DR.. Under
wood is a very prominent citizen of
Frankfort, KY, being one of the most
highly respected men in the State of
kentucky, irrespective of color.

citizens present at this meeting and

the association will within a short

meeting to carry out the principles
which were outlined, that it is high
