A new Building Association in
CharIestown.

Several days ago a movement was
made looking to the organization of
another Building Association in JEFF
ferson county, with headquarters at
Charlestown. An application for a
charter was sent on Thursday to the
Secretary of State, and a Certificate
of Incorporation received. Over 700
shares were subscribed to it in two
days, and names are constantly being
added to the subscription lists, which
can be found with John Porterfield,
Esq, at the Bank of Charlestown, or
at the Office of Forrest w. Brown,
Esq No better evidence of the util-
ity of Building Associations in a COM
munity can be found, than this road
mess on the part of our citizens to
embark in a new one. The fact that
over 700 shares are obtained in two
days, demonstrates that our people
having tried them for nearly twenty
years, have found them both a private
and public benefit, and are deter
mined to continue them as a factor in
business life. To look back over this
community for the last twenty years,
and note the Improvements therein
wrought by and through, and only
through the instrumentalities of these
peculiar societies, would convince the
most skeptical of the advantages that
flow from such institutions. BY the
act of the Legislature of 1888, the
purposes for which building associ-
atoms may be formed has been en-
larged, with a view to meet a decision
by the Supreme Court, which at the
time of the decision was deemed some
what hostile to their successful opc-
ration, but which in fact, was a ben
eft, by combining them to a legitimate
business and preventing the practice
prevalent in some communities, of
using them for schemes calculated to
decrease their utility aud divert them
from their proper channels. The
space allotted to an editorial this
week, will not allow an extended con-
sideration Of the act of the LegisIa-
ture above mentioned, but those who
are organizing this new association
speak eryfayorably of it's provisions.
We would suggest to those who are
DESTROYS of taking stock, to do so at
once, aud come forward and assistin
its organization.
