Entered at the Postofice at Aocomac @. H.,
Va, as second-class matter.

The stockholders of the Eastern
Shore of Virginia Produce Exchange
will meet in their second annual SEES
sion at Accomae G. a., next. Thurs
day, and a full attendance not only
OF the members of the organization
but OF many others who have profit
ed by 1t, Is expected from every sec
ton of our Peninsula. The meeting
promises, in fact, to be one of the
largest ever held in the old town, and
ought to be one full of interest and
pleasure TO everyone of the vast con
course of people in attendance. To
all who recall the low prices of our
staple products and the poverty and
distress incident to the same q year
or so prior to the organization Of the
Exchange and the prosperity which
in the brief period of its existence it
has brought them there must be a
feeling of gratitude and joy on the
day. Contrasting the hard times
of the past with their present i'm
proved financial condition and the
bright outlook for the future which
the Exchange offers to them, If they
continue true TO their interests and
stand by the organization as they
should, they will have the right to
be happy on the day. The occasion,
however, is not to be merely one of
pleasure but every member of the or
ganization will have an obligation to
to perform in the selection of officers
for another year, which must not be
lost sight of and cannot but be mat
ter of serious concern to him. In the
discharge of that duty, of course, COM
binations in the interest of no man
are to be thought of or to be enter
tanned for a moment. When the in
terests of the whole people are in
volved as those of the Eastern Shore
are, there can be but one question
for us to consider, the selection of
the men for the offices, who are most
likely to promote it's best interests in
the future. That wise counsels will
prevail, we believe. We have suffer
ed surely too much in the past for
lack of organization to do anything
now to destroy the only one, through
which we have been enabled to get a
reasonable return for our labors, and
and which promises us greater pros
perity in the future, il true to our
selves and the welfare and happiness
Of those dearest to us.
In this connection, though, we
would be unjust to the officers who
have served us SO faithfully and eff
GENTLY in the past, If we not only did
not commend them to your favor but
suggest that they be retained in Of.
fee if their services can be secured at
any reasonable compensation. They
have our unqualified endorsement
and they deserve that much of every
member of the organization. Very
few, If any, we presume, question
their efficiency in the offices filled by
them in the past and we cannot
afford to dispense with their services
surely at this time, if possible to se-
cure them on any reasonable terms.
