Interpretation of text by the use OF

In his voice there is all the beauty

about twice the volume and in no case

his race to own land in that section
Of the country. He made good use of
bis opportunities in every way pos
sible. .-,'
The son imbibed the spirit Of his ia
Their and began life with determina-
ton to do something to aid his peo-
pie in their struggle for advancement.
To live in the hearts Of his people has
been an effort which has claimed every
minute of his time, and he has ever
: been ready to serve. He has made
good in everything to which he has
put his hands. 1t is not, therefore,
surprising that the United Order of
Good Shepherds should take such a
prominent place in the affairs Of the
race. Mr.. Chandler has given the
making Of the order his personal at
tentiOn, and it now operates In six
states and continues to grow. The To-
cal organizations are called lodges and
fountains.
This is one of the organizations
which are helping the race to climb to
higher things in life. Eighteen miles
south Of Selma. Ala, the order owns
300 acres of land, and 800 acres OF
this land have been designated for the
widows and orphans Of the order.
while the other is for increasing the
revenue Of the order in order to sus-
tain these widows and orphans. Fifty

opportunities given them by the order
and are owning good homes. On the
land owned by the order eighty seven
buildings have been erected, including
one three story brick building, valued
at $4,000, sawmill, gristmill and
shingle mill.
This is new departure in fraternal
organization among the people, and at
once it appeals to them. Mr.. Chandler
has reached his people, and they think
much of him. He has ever been ready
to encourage any enterprise among the
people, assisting the young men and
women struggling for an education,
because he had to start at the ground
and work up. His father put him on
his own merits. believing that If boy
would make a man he must win his
place and not be fed with silver
spoon. He believed in going right
down and getting it from the shoulder
or directly from the brain.
Mr.. Chandler owns beautiful
home, two stories and well furnished.
on one Of the best streets In Montgom'
cry, and there resides with his estima-
BILE wife and daughter. They are hap
py, and he is spending life for and
with his people.
The success Of this young man
should be an inspiration to others.
This is a progressive age of doing
things, and the man who sits down
and talks about what he is going to
be after awhile If he lives and nothing
happens will never make much head
way in America or any other country.
In the office of the head Of the Unit.
ell Order Of Good Shepherds are to be
found several Of the trained young
people of the race. Mrs. Sallie Dun
can is chief clerk and secretary, and
in addition are to lie found the book
keepers, the stenographers and other
help. Mr.. Chandler has made places
for some Of the young people OF his
race and will provide for others from,
time to time.

THE NIGHTINGALE

Richard Barnfeld
Asst fell upon day
In the merry month of May,
Sitting in pleasant shade
Which grove of myrtes made,
Beasts did leap and birds did sing.
Trees did grow and plants did spring;
Every thing did Danish moan
Save the Nightingale alone.
She, poor bird all forlorn,
Lean'd her breast against thorn,
And there sung the doeful' Est dtty
That to hear it was great pity.
Fie, fe, file, would she cry;
Tereu tereu, by and by;
That to hear her so complain
Scarse could from tears refrain;
For her grefs so lively shown
Made think upon mine
-Ah thought l. thou mournst in vain,
None takes pity on thy PAIN
Senseless trees they cannot hear thee,
Ruthless beasts, they will not cheer thee;
King Pandion, he is dead.
All thy friends are lspp'd in lead:
All thy fellow birds do sing
Careless of thy sorrowing:
Even so. poor bird, like thee
None alive will pity me.
