Charleston. S. c., April 1S.-Twenty-
seven or more leading lumbermen of the

Virginia, held an important meeting
here today. 1t was the regular month
~ conference of the Georgia Sawm.I
Association. with the other gentlemen
here at the request Of the Georgia oc-
ganiZation. The prime object OF the
gathering was to bring h lumoernlen
of the south in closer touch with each
other, thereby allowing each the oppor-
tunity of becoming better acquainted
with the general conditions of the trade
and to insure as far as possible harmo-
NOUS cooperation by all in the main
tenance of the price lists of the respeC-
tive associations.
The majority of the matters disposed
of were purely of a routine nature.
Every one present spoke in encouraging
terms of the trade and of better times
for the future.
a resolution was adopted looking to
the appointment of a general conference
| committee to consist of two representa-
tives of the associations present. This
will greatly facilitate the work of the
Iumbermen and do away with the ex-
penditure of much time and money ib
holding regular monthly meetings. as
two men on such occasions will be able
to transact the business of the entire
association. This conference committee
will be appointed by President Tiff al
] an early date.

 There are two popular places in Green Forest-the United States post office and Tanning 6 Birkes' grocery.
 No town could scarcely need an inn provement worse than Green Forest needs finished turnpike from the square to the depot and some sort of side walk covering this distance. Such are ab- solutely indispensable necessities and the longer we have to contend with present conditions the worse we will have to suffer from it's effects. It strikes us as matter that could be greatly remedied if not completely disposed of by the town council.

The railroad people have not explained to us their reason tol this change, but we are generous enougf to take it for granted that it was the judgment of the company that it's ln- terests could be best served by such course, and as riding on freight trains is a rather dangerous ndplt we naVo uo cided to quit it anyhow-especially since this order will be strictly enforced.
