HISTORY OF THE WHEEL AND ALLIANCE. 



which assembled at Meridian, Mississippi, on December 

 5, 1888, and was a member of the Committee on Constitu- 

 tion and By-L,aws. By his close attention to business he 

 has won the confidence and esteem of the Missouri 

 Brotherhood, and the thousands of letters he has filed 

 away attest the confidence and high regards of the writers. 

 His correspondence is simply immense and occupies his 

 whole time and attention." 



W. W. PRIGG. 



Willis W. Prigg, Secretary of the Indiana State Alli- 

 ance, was born on a farm near Middleton, Indiana, July 

 29, 1855. His education consists of what could be secured 

 in a country school at the period of his school age and 

 part of two years' attendance in High School. At the age 



of 20 he began teaching, 

 and for thirteen years was 

 regarded as one of the 

 most prominent teachers 

 in his county. The 

 highest tribute to his 

 ability as a teacher is 

 the fact that for seven 

 years he held the posi- 

 tion of Principal of the 

 High School of his 

 native town. During 

 most of this time he 

 has carried on farming 

 under his personal direc- 

 tion. At the organiza- 

 W. W. Prigg. tion of the State Alli- 



ance in April, 1890, he was elected Secretary.
