REPUBLICAN CLUBS.
Meetfn2sWel Attended and Questions ofllntef
est Discussed-Important Business.

The Young Mems Republican club held
its regular meeting last evening at the
court house. There was large attendance
and the membership book was again passed
around and returned to the secretary with
quite an increased list of names. President
Adams called the meeting to order at ':5o
and the work of hearing special committee
reports commenced. There was a large
amount of business transacted of import
ance to the club and quite number OF
questions introduced which were accorded
the club for some minutes. One OF the
leading questions discussed was the action
the club would take in the coming city
election. After a number had given
opinions the president was instructed to
appoint committee of five who should
give the matter special atten.
ton and report if possible at
the next NEE ting. The meeting was
thoroughly harmonious and one that
showed the intense interest of members in
the work on hand and faith in their abili-
ty to do it.
The club will meet next Tuesday even
ing at 7:30.
HENRY CLAY CLUB.
The Henry Clay club held Its regular
meeting Monday evening at the court
house, and owing to council meeting and
other important matters on hand, mem
Der of the club was engaged to bring in re-
port, but his memory tripped him and
hence the report was unavoidably neglect
ed. The meeting was largely attended and
quite number of names was added to the
enrolment. Some features in constitu-
ton and bylaws were discussed. The
question of internal revenues was argued
for some time, it being the leading topic
for the evening. The vote of the club was
not taken showing strength of each side of
the question, but will be further discussed
at the next meeting and probably vote
taken.
The club adjourned to meet again next
Monday night.

agriculture is the pivot upon which
all other industries turn y and as this

furnish the products that keep the
wheels of commerce going. we repeat !:
Give them rousing welcome, fitting
reception. While this organization is
for the protection and promotion OF
agricultural interests, yet it does not
propose to antagonize or to make war
upon any other legitimate enterprise,
trade or industry. We have been pro-
missed the full proceedings of the Con-
vention and in due time We will pub.
lisll them for the benefit of our readers.
