Have our people lost all interest in the
Paw Paw Board of Trade? A meeting
was called for last week Wednesday
evening, but only very few of the stock
holders appeared, and no business was
transacted, an adjournment being taken
for one week No Que at all appeared at
the adjourned meeting. The immediate
object of the meeting was to consider
proposition for a write-up of Paw Paw in
the Sunday Inter Ocean. In response to
a request for such a write-up, Mr..
Weatherby was sent here by the Inter
Ocean to make arrangements for the
business, and was in all fairness entitled
to a decision, either favorable or unfavor-
able, 10y vote of the Board of Trade.
Not only this, but the current expenses
of the Board of Trade for a long time
past have not been met. The secretary
has paid out considerable postage and
other items and the president has paid
his own expenses on work of the organ
ization, and there are a number of un-
paid local bills that should be attended
to. The Board of Trade members should
awake from their lethargy, attend the
meetings and do what they can to ad
vance the interests of the town; or else,
if the organization has outlived its use
fuluess, the members should get together
pay an assessment sufficient to pay all
Indebtedness, and then disband square
with the world
