Robart Cummins Of Smyrna. Dio any per
son ever know Robert to 60 10 Inc peach
Growers meetings at Dover, or anywhere
eIae. without proposing some a1telasun' 1,I
and always begins in this way: Mr. Ona.I-
man, suggest that commlt.ee De ap
noicted to look into mistakes ana report on
ssid mistakes, they being only imaginary
10 Mia own brain, but as mover LOT CON-
mittee, knowing the custom Is 10 appoln,
the mover chairman. Ihat oD)ect o"'aineu
that ends that matter. NOW al tne late
meetinq at Middletown, all tnrongn ,., Me
kneW. II he knew anything, that mr.. WIZ
liam Brady let the association IL lts infancy
have the ground to hold the 1alr on ~ =
reasonable price, and that the members Sc OF
said association living in and around MD
dletown had assumed the risk, lald on the
oround, and had held two OF the most sue,
cessful agricultural fairs ever nelo
on this peninsula, NotWlthstahalng
that and his living at Smyrna al tne late
meeting Robert got up and moved tnas
committee of FIVE be appointed TO consloer
the propriety Of purchasing GROUNDS r,h,e aol ,Ie
permanent location. Now does any sehslole
man suppose that this Commttee was
necessary, for what Is the fresioent sna
Directors named in the charter ior II
should be presumed that tney hao sense
enough to attend to the best interests oi tne
company without having ROBERT ana ms
Committee to act as guardians, ,1or tne Ires-
ident and Directors to tell them "hat W uo,
however. .as Robert has been appointed
Ch.irman that is the end Of ii. I have been
thinking when Robert dies and goes to
heaven and meets the angel Gabriel, he will
Temsrk TO him. Old friend, how has this
Mace been managed" and after hearing his
reply he will suggest an Improvement, if
Won old folks will call yourselves together,
/ will suggest committee of FIVE, but as
mover, Mr. Gabriel, 1 will expect to be ap-
pointed Chairman, then it is immaterial who
YOU appoint afterwards, there will be no
more done until another meeting. Then it
will be the same old thing over again, Mr..
Speaker, or Chairman, I suggest com
mittee be appointed. -
