BOARD OF TRADE.
Action Taken on the New Gov
ernment Building,
Which is Considered Much Too
Small for Canton.
Something Regarding the Axle Works
and Other Matters OF Much Interest to
the Citizens OF Canton.

Canton's Board of Trade is alive and
progressive. The legitimate enterprise
displayed by Canton's Board Of Trade
meets with favor everywhere. The efforts
of the Board to secure industries for this
city, which is essentially city Of enter
prises, are coinmendable and should re-
ceive the approval and substantial recog-
milton Of every business man in the city.
There is now before the citizens OF Canton
project which should be carefully CON
sidered. II is not enough that members
of the Board of Trade have given their
efforts, but 1t is the general opinion that
resident property owners should come TO
the front with alacrity and secure for Can
ton an industry which is now knocking
for admittance TO our domains. A News
DEMOCRAT reporter took occasion to circu-
laty among the members OF the Lumber
Dealers association and II Is the opinion
prevalent amongst them that Canton is
the best city they have ever visited. This
speaks we'll for the city and only goes to
show that Canton investors do not fully
appreciate the Importance of maintaining
the position attained. Further efforts are
manufacturing line and ii is hoped by the
Board that every effort will be met with
favor and that the axle works will be add
ed to our industries within a short period.

fore the Board of Trade on the occasion

city of manufacture. The following reso-
luton was adopted:

authorities with view of having work
