work they arc mapping out for the i'm

The proceedings Of the meeting Of the
Business Mems Association were gen.
orally discussed among the most promi-
nent business men yesterday, who believ-
ed that the public-spirited citizens will
become aroused as to the Importance of
keeping the association in a thriving con-
dtion. Treasurer w. H Washington has
received the dues of a large number Of the
members since the adoption of the reso-
luton offered by Mr.. a. J. Daffron. to
get rid of all non-paying members. Mr..
Daffron'S resolution was also the subject
of much comment yesterday, as he me-
leved that the association will thrive
better with twenty-five active members
than with the large number Of disinterest-
ed men, who have failed to take part
in the proceedings.
