the variations were unusually COM
plete. An address, "Aim and Object
of the Association" was given by Mr..
A. w. Jordan, chairman of Local 8.
Other features were the Pullman
quartette. addresses by Mr.. G. Ross.

preached by the Rev. c. B. Burton of
Memorial Baptist church. Mr.. J. J.
Wilson was master of ceremonies,
while Mr.. C. De Quence Jordan d.
rected the music.
The local lodge made a very credi-
table showing in exemplifying the
work of their association. Every no

railroad fame but thinkers who con-
tribute much to the race and the ma
