Workers OF America, at Halle
ton the other day was no more en-
thusiastic than at a dozen other
places since he inaugurated his cam
paign for increased membership in the
union, but it was characterized by an
incident of an unusual and distinctly
encouraging nature.
The meeting was held on a base
ball field owned and given free for the
occasion by the Lehigh Coal Com

POOR SANDUsKY
BY Wing Dineer

Out In Sandusky. Ohio,
Gloom enshrouds the poker clan
All because upon the pastine
There has Just been put ban.
1t appears that some smooth stranger
Had the happy faculty
OF possessing four big aces
Each time large pot there'd be.
From the confines of Sandusky
Too much coin began to roam
Civic spirit called for action
That would keep the wealth at home
Checkers. chess, pool and parchesi
Still permitted are, but gee,

sidered good pay at that time for farm
laborers.
He was looking up and declared that
some day he was going to let the world
know that he lived and that he would
be Of service to humanity. He declar

beyond want. and as long as she lived
she should be cared for by him. 1t 10

He began as a local preacher His
presiding elder having heard him
preach several times had the quarterly

not check his zeal. He started out on
mission work and soon developed into

At the conference held In Chatta-
nooga in 1874 Mr. Tyree was ordained
deacon by Bishop Brown. and Septem-
ber. 1876. was ordained elder by Bishop
A. w. Wayman. He was still making
his way up and making frieibjs at the
same time. His first appointment near
city was in 1877. when he was sent
to Salem. North Nashville. During his
stay ut Salem he studied theology at
the Central Tennessee college. now

pied with his natural ability, fitted him
for any charge in the African MethO-
