WHAT HAS BECOME OF THE PROMOTERS OF THIS
 ORGAlZATiON?
IT IS A GOOD THING
And Should Be Pushed. The Matter Seems to Have Been
 Dropped.


 The pubic is anxious to know what has become of the promoters of the Board of Trade, or Conner eial League movement. A few days since our city was stirred up by the activity of several prominent gen tlemen who were engaged in solicit iting membership in and assistance for the formation of such an associa- tion, and everything seemed to be moving smoothly towards the sue cessful launching of the undertak- ing.
 We are told that nearly all of our business men who were approached, responded literally and agreed to lend their names as members and furnish a reasonable sum of money per month towards the maintenance of the Board or League. But lately nothing has been heard of the mat ter.
 The merchants who signed the petition0have waited and are still waiting for the call for a meeting to perfect the organization and9 get down to business, but no such call has been issued.
 Many expect great things for our  city from such an organization, and are loud in their com plaints at the want of action in the matter.
 Is it possible that Pine Bluff alone of all the first.class cities of the State is to have TO one to officially represent her at commercial gather lngs and other meetings held for the purpose of adjusting trade relations and building up the great State of Arkansas? We hope not Call the meeting and let's get to work.
 Gentlemen, what are you doing wi th the matter?
