Columbus Day Matters.
An adjourned meeting of the Business
Mems Association was held last evening
in the Library Building. Mr.. Beane. the
president, was i'm the chair. Invitations
from the French Band organization and
the Young Mems Literary Club to at
tend their fairs were declined, in accord
dnce with n vote OF year ago, which es-
tablshed the rule, and the secretary was
ordered to so communicate with those
organizations
Leprelet Sweet, for the special commit
tee to organize a trades procession, re-
ported the progress made and that more
than one hundred names of people were
listed who had expressed the Intention to
make some kind OF an exhibit. The re-
port was received and the committee con-
tiuued.
w. A. H. Grant spoke at some length
as to the desirability OF all merchants
participating in the display. Referring
TO the part the Business Mems Associa-
tion was taking In the matter Mr.. Grant
said their action was only the force to
start the ball rolling. The success of the
trades procession was to be for the good
OF the community and not of the associa-
tion. lie hoped that Ii anyone had not
received special, personal invitation to
make an exhibit such person would act
on the general invitation, aud be free to
feel that he would be welcome to do
whatever he wished towards representing
his business in the trades procession. He
called attention TO the fact that never be-
fore had such an opportunity come to the
business men OF Olneyville.
As part of his special work he had
spoken TO the authorities of the several
mills, who had taken the matter under
consideration, with promise from them
10 make an interesting exhibit il they de-
cided TO take part. Mr. Grant suggested
that the milkmen Of Johnston should
enter the procession. Johnston, without
doubt. produces more milk and carfies on
n Larger business in IL than does any other
town Of the State. There is no doubt but
what the milkmen could make an inter-
estilg exhibit Even the milk inspector
might be la line and show how he tests
the watery fluid. Many OF the men pres
ent, representatives of the different busi-
ness interests, stated they were to make a
display, aud in a general way stated what
the character of IL would be.
Leprelet Sweet gave notice that il any
persons wished TO join the parade they
could write TO him, T.. o. box Sl3, Provi-
dence.
