MECHANICS HONE ASSOCIATION OF ALEX
ANDRIA.-Tt is proposed to start an association
by the above name, for the purpose of assisting
mechanics to obtain for themselves and families
homesteads. Each member is to pay ten dollars
per month, and houses varying from four TO
six hundred dollars in price, are to be built or
bought for the members. If sixty or seventy
mechanics will join to form the proposed asso
citation, six or seven hundred doarsper month
will be realized, and two or three thousand dol
lars worth Of houses can be purchased every
sixty or ninety days. 4 man owning house is
more responsible than one without property. and
business men have, in many cases, direct inter
est in making their customers as responsible as
possible. Therefore business uen who can spare
the amount from their business lessen their
losses by the credit system by encouraging me-
chanics to obtain homestcads. To effect an or
ganization for the above purpose, there will be
a meeting Of the mechanics and working men
at the hall Of the Friendship Engine house at 5
o'clock on Friday evening, the 18th of the
present month }.
