should have been-was one of the
largest, most harmonious and
most business like meetings it has
ever been our pleasure to witness.
The committee that was appointed
to draw up a constitution for the
government of the Association
was promptly on hand, and from
the fact that the constitute IN that
they submitted was adopted with
out Il single amendment or a dis
senting voice, evidenced the fact
that they had done their duty well.
This meeting was composed of
business men from every walk Of
life, and they went at everything
in a business-like way. 1t was
pleasant to see how neighbors
could dwell together in unity.
No mark of selfishness, petty
jealousy or local prejudice could
be seer anywhere. There was but
one sentiment hat pervaded the
entire meeting, large as it was,
and that was simply to try and see
that justice, so long delayed,
should be done our port.
The officers elected by this AS
are all men just in the
prime of life honest, faithful and
capable, and they will leave no
stone unturned to accomplish
their undertaking.
1t is common in most undertake
ings of this kind that there are a
large majority of men who will
say sob, yes, we are in for your
project" until it is limited that
there will probably have to be
some outlay, and then they have
20 step out and see a man. But
not so in this. There are only
five members of this Asso-
and no notice given that
my one would be called upon for
dollar, but when it was an
lounced that each one should con- !
ribute something to the fund, '
here was 1920 raised in less than a.,
