Industrial League.
AT an adjourned meeting of the
Florala Industrial League held We'd
| nesday afternoon Mr.. Robert Tyler,
editor Of the F1orala Democrat, was
selected as secretary of tho erganiza-
ton by the Board of Directors. The
| board acted wisely and well when
board elected Mr.. Tyler. It may be safe
| ~ said that these gentlemen spoke the
will of large majority of the mem
bers of the league and. other business
men in the community when they
elected him. Mr.. Tyler is far above
the average men in many respects and
| since coming to Florala little over
a year ago he has instilled in many of
the people an innate desire to do
something for F1orala 1t was he who
conceived and put into action the idea
| of business organization for bust
men of this section and during it's brief
| life he has been at the front of action
in sustaining and creating new life in
the F1orala Industrial League. Mr.. Ty-
Ter has given generously not only of
his time, but of his money as well, in
helping the league accomplish what it
has in it's few days of life. He is
booster of the first water and it was
tribute meritoriously bestowed when
the board acted in his favor for the
secretaryship. New members are al
ready being secured and old ones are
coming back into the. league and it is
! freely predicted that a great deal of
good will be done the section by the
new life put into the league by the
banuet and other recent publicity.
