A meeting of the Business Mems Asso-5
citation was held last night at Toney's
Hall. The attendance was rather small,
but the meeting vas enthusiastic, and
talked business. 1t has been the idea of
many of the members of this body for
some time, that the association should es-
tablish headquarters in Il neatly-htted and
furnished room or hall, centrally located,
which would be open at all times. either
for the regular meetings or to the mem,
bers Of the association and their friends
to drop into and discuss the interests
Of the city. This idea was discussed last
evening ut length. The room on the first
floor of the Leader building was mem
toned as suitable place. The matter
was referred TO Mr.. D. l.. PulliaIn, who
will investigate and report to the asso-.
citation.
The report of several committees were
received. The committee on securing ex-
ira street-cars ON Perry and Hull streets
reported that the desired extra cars had
been put in Perry street, and that the
extras would be running on Hull very:
soon. ,'.7lta
