The names of several new members
were enrolled by the Association
the membership at present numbers
1O5.
A lively discussion sprung up on
motion to reconsider a resolution
passed at previous annual meeting
Of the Association, respecting the
annual dinner. A good deal of dis.
satisfaction had been expressed with
the dinner feature, the anti dinner
party arguing that the funds which
went to pay for these big din
uers, should remain in the treasury
of She Association, and thus accumu
ate large surplus, enabling the so
cietv to offer liberal rewards for the
apprehension and conviction of
thieves. The dinner party" on the
other hand commended that without
the incentive ola good turkey dinner,
on the occasion of the annual meet
ing, that not even corporals guard
would turn out to attend such a dry
affair. After quite spirited dis.
cussion vote was taken, when a
very large majority-two thirds or
three-fourths voted against reconsid
ering the resolution and in favor of
continuing the annual dinner feature.
Il was the general sentiment that
a larger reward should be offered tor
the apprehension and conviction of
the foot.pads who robbed Mr. Rich.
ards, and motion was put and car
ried without division to appoint a
of three to wait on the
County Commissioners and ask them
to make an additional appropriation
to swell the reward. The chair ap-
pointed Messrs w. w. More, H. H
Haines and Thomas Waring.
A list of names of members was
ordered to be prepared for dlstribut-
ing among the members and large
cards to post up with the words "This
property is protected by the Rising
Sun Detective Association At
one o'clock the members filed out OF
the Hall and repaired to the house of
Mr.. W. Grason where a sumptious
turkey dinner was spread, and the
gusto with which the large crowd
surrounding the tables partook of
the good things friend Grason had
provided, was an endorsement of the
menu which was indeed ''done to
turn" and in quantity, variety, cook,
ing and serving, left no room for the
most fastidious bon vivant to get in
word of fault finding, edgewise.
The many outrages which the
thieving and highway robbing frat.
ernity have been perpetrating on the
community, have reused the member
ship to high state of excitement and
it was the general sentiment that
times should be made warm for this
vicious class in future.

The season of 1886 having
passed into history, we are now
preparing for that of 1886, and
will for the next 80 days make
concessions in the prices of many
Heavy Goods in order to clear
the stock as much as possible
before taking our annual inver.
tory.
All Odds and Ends at merely
nominal prices, as we will not
allow old stock to accumulate if
prices will make them go.
