Business Men's Meeting.

An adjourned business mems
meeting was held at the courthouse
last Tuesday evening, Mayor Gus
tay Brown presiding, and an organi-
cation partially effected by the adop-
ton of constitution which provides
for shares of stock at the par value
of s25, to be paid sl.25 down and
sI.25 per month thereafter until paid
up. A board of seven directors,
with president, secretary and treas
urer, are also provided for. A com
mittee was appointed consisting of
Messrs. d. S. Hughes, S. Lee Phil
lips. E. j. Williams, Sam'l NJ. OFT
and C, Frank Gallaher, to solicit
subscriptions of stock, and on their
report call ed meeting will be held
and charter applied for.
This movement is one of vital i'm
portance to all our people. 1t is in
augurated on firm, sound, sensible
basis; and upon its success or fail
ure depends whether Charles Town
shall forge ahead and become a
thriving, prosperous little city, or
remain passive and listless, waiting
for the something to turn up''
which ever and forever fails to ma
terialize.
And just here let US say that what
interests Charles Town should of ne
,cessity interest our neighbors in the
country adjacent. If Charles Town
thrives they will thrive, and if the
reverse is the case none will feel it
more quickly or keenly than they
The prime object OF this movement
is to secure additional solid, sub
stantial manufacturing enterprises
here, and if it be success then it
means more men, women and chill
dren to whom the merchant may sell
his dry goods, clothing and groceries,
and more mouths for the farmer to
supply with butter, eggs, chickens.
fruits, vegetables, etc. Therefore it
is a matter in which all our people
should be earnestly interested, and
the Bushes Mems Association is an
enterprise to the stock of which all
should subscribe. Take ten shares
if you can. If you can't take ten,
perhaps you can take four; and let
every man in the community-in
town or countrywide is doing any
thing at all, at least take one share.
Let US all put our shoulders to the
wheel-give long pull, strong
pull. and a pull all together-and
something tangible will be accom-
plished.
