terested In the present and future growth
OF Sedalia, supplemented by the re-publi-
cation of an interview with a gentleman,
on that subject year ago, has attracted
considerable attention among our business
men, and, almost without exception, has
met with their approval. In fact ali that
remains 10 be done, is for one or two pub
lic-spirited citizens to take the lead, and
such an organization can be formed that
will make Sedalis felt during the coming
year. If our city is to 60 forward and oc-
cupy the position 10 which she is entitled
among the growing cities of Mis-
souri,, she must organize for
the battle. Other cities are
prepared for the strife and If we are
laggsrds. or Indifferent, we will BE- left 10
the race. Every important city la i.ie
state is on the qui wye for more railroads,
more manufactures, more public insti'n-
tions, better internal improvements anu
everything that comes in sight.

thing Is very essential, hUssxer,

Is, that the memOeIs must work and take
an interest in the matter. They must lay
aside all individual interests and work in
unison for the good of Sedalia. Il they
will do this, such a club will prove an in
doubted success"
Mayor Crawford's views on the subject
are shared by numbers of others, and no
time should be lost in taking the initial
steps in forming the club.
Mr.. K. p. Archer, whose views given
nearly year ago in the BAzoo, was seen
by reporter yesterday evening, and he il
stu enthusiastic in regard 10 the matter.
When asked for his views about the plan,
Mr.. Archer said
"Yes, / noticed the reproduction and
very much admired your prelude. / am
more con WINGED now than ever of the i'm
portance of such an organization. You see
Sedalia is getting to be the town
of conventions of all kinds,
which necessarily draw people from all
parts of our stale and country, and nothing
sdvertises town or city more fsvorabiy
than an organization that brings her active
and snterprising merchants together in
conference daily. In fact, such an organi-
cation, properly conducted, will prove to
be the SOLVE branch" of peace, good will
and unity of action between all our own
merchants and business men which is high
ly essential for the prosperity of our little
city. / will cheerfully give my humble
support to anything of this kind should
our business men decide upon its orgsniza-
tion.'
Other gentlemen have promised to give
their views and lend their aid, and the
BAzoo promises to keep up the agitation.
Any communications on the subject will
be gladly received and published.
