lied movement on foot among the
negoes of Spalding, Butts, Henry,
Fayette, Pike and Monroe counties
to form what they call "Citizens'
Union" tor the purpose of establish
ing union stores to be operated by
men of their own color in the coun>

something after the order of the far

likely to meet with the same results,
unless the members stick closer to
the text, as is held forth in their
printed constitution and bylaws.
The "joining tee" in this union is to
be $500; $3.50 cash down and the
remainder in two months, while the
monthly dues shall be decided upon
by the board OF directors. Each
member shall pay his or her part of
all rents, freights, fire insurance, liz
cense, oil, scales, and other necesss-
ry materials. Any member failing
to comply With these laws, without
lawful excuse, shall be expelled
from the union, and forfeit all his or
her claim on the organization. One
Of the specific promises of the cons
stitution and bylaws OF this union
is: "Any member may withdraw
from the union such funds or sup
plies as his or her emaciated needs
may require, so long as they are f.
nancial members of the union" L.
K. Evans, well known colored pol.
itician, is president of the union,
and others OF lesser note are filling
the unimportant positions.
