 These gentlemen are Donald Mac Donald. J. w Terry. Judge William H. Thomas, Hardwick Ruth and F. F. Glass.
 It was decided to instruct the sec retary to cast the unanimous vote of the association re-electing these gen tlemen to serve on the board for the ensuing year.
 This precedent was likewise fol- lowed in the election of trustees of the organization. The present incum- bents, Joseph Norwood and Hardwick Ruth, will serve as trustees for two and three years respectively.
