ST0EhhOL0bAN
,,,aers of the Hamilton Mining and
Smelling Company held their annual
.,oetinp at the Courthouse last Monday
evening. All the stock of the company
~as represented but a few shares. The
reports of the Secretary and Superinten-
dent were read and ordered on file. The
Trustees were instructed to appoint some
rerson. not a stakeholder, to audit the
accounts of the company. An election
was then had for anew Board of Trustees.
The number of aspirants for the honors
was large, and the electloneering and
sharp practice INDUCED in was quite
amusing. All of the old Board were re-
elected, with the exception of President
Sam Liddle and Frank Wells, who de-
clined reelection, and their places were
filed by the election of Charles F. Mez-
GER and Ned Raum. The reelection of
the old Board, with the exception of the
two declining. clearly demonstrated that
8 majority of the shareholders were we'll
satisfied with the manner in which the
affairs of the company have been con-
Quoted. After the election was over, it
had become too late in the evening for
an interchange of sentiment in regard to
the future operations of the company.
and the meeting adjourned. The new
Board extended an invitation to the
stockholders to adjourn to the PONY"
aud partake of refreshments.
SHORT SETTLEMENTS MAKE LONG
FR1ENDs.-The coming week is a good
time to balance up long standingaccounts,
and by New Years to have everything in
readiness for settlement. We have some
old veteran accounts on our books, whose
age exceeds that of the oldest inhabitant.
We wish every one that we owe to bring
in their bills by the first day of January
next. SO that we may know how much we
are indebted, and make the necessary ar
rangements for liquidation. Those in
debted to us will please settle, so as to
enable us to pay our debts. To be in
debt is as bad as being in hell to be out
of debt, is as pleasant as having a clear
conscience. Try it for once. just for luck,
and see if we are not right. A man that
Is entirely free from debt is the most in
dependent parsonage i'll any community.
Step up to the captains office!
