-
The main topic in business haunts
during the week past, was the annual
meeting of the Chamber of Commerce.
The results have been quite satisfac-
tory, and we believe they will have the
effect of reviving the interest that
should exist in this body. There can
be no question but the Chamber has
been a power for good; even the de-
linquepts admit this; the only question
with many was the methods employed
in bringing about the results. That
there was some dissatisfaction with the
old board, there can be no doubt, and
it was with the idea of, having ali
members attend and air their griev-
ances. such as they had, in the proper
place, that we urged full attendance.
That all interest in the Chamber and
its future was dead, was disproyed, We
think, by the animated scenes on cleo
ton night and the night following, and
while the meeting was most spirited
one and discussion was freely partici-
pated in, yet there was II general good
feeling all around. AS The HERALD
has before said, the new board is a
good one. 1t is quite possible that
there are some who will have objections
to make to it, but such would have
been the case no matter who had been
selected for the positions. II those
mem bers who have hitherto held aloof
because of real or fancied grievances
against the directors or other officers OF
the Chamber, will unite in sustaining
and encouraging the new directory, We
may confidently expect good results to
follow.
The work of the past year has been
merely preliminary; it was but the re-
connoitre, the skirmish, before the
battle, which is Just beginning, and it
must be fought with vigor and earnest
ness, if we desire to win. There are
many things to be thought of, planned
and executed, and these should make
The Office of the directors no sinecure.
Indeed, it may be said that the work to |
De done this year is OF higher grade, !
and the duties of the new officials will

ever before. - |
There is the usual lull in business

the signs of healthy
evival are not nearly so remote.
