A FEW FACTS
About The Board of Trade and Com
mercial Club.

1t is not true that the GAINESVILLE
Board of Trade "has been almost a
dead letter so far rs advertising and
advancing the interest of our city is
concerned" The Board of Trade
has been the very life of the city for
the past twenty years. 1t has been
the fostering head of almost every
enterprise aud has scarcely failed in
anything it undertook. Its good
works are too numerous to emu
merate in less space than a half
dozen columns. Moreover, it has
done some very lively advertising,
both at home and abroad. Those
who express such a sentiment have
not been here long enough and are
not sufficiently identified with the
enterprise of the city to know just
what the Board of Trade has done
or is still capable of doing. All of
this, however, is no reason why a
commercial club should not be or
gained, A prominent member of
the Board, discussing this matter
with the writer, thought that the or
ganizati0n of a club might be advan-
tageous to the younger men, giving
them better opportunities and in
spire them to work, and requested
that the LEAF-CHRONICLE agitate
the question, which we have done
most cheerfulIy, and not only that
but convassed the matter among the
business men.
George II Armistead, secretary of
the Nashville Commercial Club, has
announced that he will be here next
Friday night to address the citizens
ON the subject and organize club,
and we hope our citizens will turn
out and give him a hearing. Mr.
Armistead is bright young man and
in his present position is working
energetically and effectively to ad
vance the general interests of the
State as well as that of Nashville,
and deserves encouragement.
There is hardly any danger of over
doing a good thing, and we hope in
the meantime that the committee
appointed by President A. Howell Of
the Board of Trade some days ago to
attend the general meeting of com
mercial clubs at Nashville, May All,
will not overlook the matter.
Everyone should attend and co OPP.
crate heartily in the move to have the
State and our city represented in the
Worlds Fair.

THE SCHOOL COMMISSIONERS.
Action Preparatory to Procuring Plans for the
New Library Building-A Holiday Granted.

At the meeting of tho School Commits
reported bills amounting to S511.47. which
were allowed. This committee also asked
authority to negotiate a second temporary
loan Of $4,000. which was granted. Col.
Black, chairman of the committee on build
ing and grounds, in view of the probable
passage of the bill providing for the con-
struction of public library building.
asked authority To procare suitable
plan for such building and sell the
building on the site recently purchased.
Resolutions in accordance with these re-
quests were also offered. Mr. Frenzel OBJ
jected TO the extent of the authority asked
for. saying that the board was hardly
ready to order the plans advertised for. He
offered substitute. authorizing the COM
mittees on public library and buildings
and grounds TO employ an expert to pre-
pure instructions as a basis upon which
plans for library and school office build
ing could be invited. and report such In
structons at the next meeting of the board.
This difference developed into a pro-
tracted discussion, which resulted in
favor of employing the expert. Colonel
Black also offered q resolution to
consolidate the library aud building and
grounds committees to be known as the
public library committee and to have
charge of the work OF construction. This
was adopted. A third resolution author.

upon moved that Monday be observed as a

motion prevailed, and the beard then ad-

THE sHREwD MR.. GREENE.
He Is Caught by the Police and Held for TAX.
ing Others Clothes and for SwindIing.

A young man giving the name of William
last night by patrolman Mike Rsftery
at the instance of Emory Caldwell Tho
latter pointed Greene out as the man at
whom he had fired revolver o few nights
before, on Illinois street. for attempting to
steal his clothes. Greene denied the iden-
tity, but Caldwell is positive he ;s the
right man. He said he saw Greene in the
station and led him into conversation in
order to catch his voice. and he could
not be mistaken. Greene was also
identified by William A. Carter, of Koko-
mo. Both Caldwell. who lives at Gains,
Rush county. and Carter were. it is alleged,
victimized by Greene. under the name OF
Western Union hnemen. and secured SLIGO
from each TO purchase tools for them.
He sent them to telegraph station be-
yOnd the Belt. on the Big Four road,
In the meantime 1t is charged Greene went
TO CaldwelPs room. on South Meridian
street. and told the woman of the house
that Caldwell had been employed out of
the city and had sent him for his clothes
aud vallse. The property was delivered to
him, and, as he turned from Georgia street
to Illinois, Caldwell met him. wearing his
overcoat and having the other property on
his arm. 1T was then that / fired" said
Caldwell to Journal reporter last night,
"but only shot to scare him and attract
the police. / fired six shots in ALL"
Sergeant Hagerdorn preferred the charge
of false pretenses against Greene, who.
he learned. bad been stopping at
the Spencer House under the name
of Hart. 1t was afterward learned
by patrolman Raftery that Greene had
taken suit of clothes from q woman on
State street, whose house he had visited on
pretense of getting board for five men en-
ployed by the Western Union. CAPTAIN
Spiann said last night that eight victims
to the same trick played upon Caldwell
had been found. The charge of petit
larceny was also preferred against the
prisoner.
