T. P. A. Members Enjoy
Barbecue Before Leaving

After enjoying an elaborate barbecue
at the Country club yesterday, the Ala
bama Travellers Protective association
h ED short meeting and adjourned.
The secretary was instructed to send
check for $26 to the relief fund for the
| Palos mine disaster
The report of the credentials COM
mittee was unanimously adopted and
consisted of these two resolutions:
"The eighteenth annual convention OF
Alabama division of the Travellers Pro-
tective association has come and gone
and in the closing hours of our session
we cannot but feel grateful to those
who, by untiring efforts and fraternal
care, have contributed to our pleas
ures, our comforts, and our welfare.
We are glad that a kind Providence
has permitted us to meet in this thrifty,
bustling, hustling city of Birmingham,
and that it was entrusted to the large
membership of Post B, the mayor and
council, citizenship, the press, the vari-
Gus social and athletic associations and
the ladies to unite in one common eff
| fort to make our sojourn most pleas
| ing, attractive and agreeable.
"Our visit and deliberations have
been married by the absence of some
of the officers who are near and dear
to us. Our prayers go out to them
and their families for their recovery
from beds of illness. May our sympa-
thies speed them on to an early re-
covery.
"As an earnest testimony of our
gratitude and remembrance we do re-
solve that the thanks of our associa .
ton are due and rendered to the mem
ters of Post B, individually and col
lectively, for their uniform acts of hos
ritality; not only to them, but to their
ladies', who assisted in entertaining our
wives, daugh tiers and our sweethearts
to the city officers we are indebted for
the freedom of the city and the use
of our meeting place; to Brother Louis
Benish for the gift of cigars that
Gained our thoughts and stimulated our
acts; to the newspapers and public
press for taking note of our proceed
| ings and their publication, as we'll as
kind expressions of encouragement; to
the Country club and other social or
CARNATIONS who rendered the use of
their property for the entertainment OF
our members; to the officers, directors
and committeeman for their untiring
efforts and earnest zeal in carrying on
| the work of the association.

The second resolution was as fol-
lows:
"Since last we met the angel OF
death has lowered over us and carried
to their final abode the spirits of Broth
er Bidgood, Brother McCorly
Brother r. N. Rhodes, Brother Taconie
Brother A. L. Feeks, whom we re-
member with love and affection. Their
earthly race was run, the struggle OF
life is over and peacefully their task
has ended. We take up the work by
them begun, inspired by their successes
to renewed efforts and earnest endeay-
ors.
I'VE mourn heir loss and sympathize
with those bereft of their provident and
watchful care. Time alone can heal
their wounds and blessed be they IN
the memory of the departed. We strew
fragrant flowers on their graves and
hope that the incense which arises will
be waited to the hearts and homes cf
the bereaved, the widow and orphans,
and bring consolation to the distressed
May the example and the virtues of
the deceased be heritage not only TO
their families, but to our association.
Peace be to their ashes.
