The Business Mems Association meet.
ing Monday night, held at the Office Of
N. H. Castle and Co., brought o ut q
limited number of the faithful but what
the meeting fell short in numbers it
made up in earnestness of purpose, en-
thusiasm and q sincere desire to push
the town and the county As rapidly as
possible and provide some means Of
letting outside people know what 4
great country we have here.
The small attendance was largely due
no daubt, to the fact that so many are
at the lakes.
The first business transacted was .
proper iniation of Editors Watts
and Dufiield, Of the Laborer and Inde-
pendent respectively, both Of whome
were lucky enough to have dollar to
pay the membership fee. This in its
self was = positive indication Of the
prosperit6 of the community.
It was voted to order IN additional
5000 booklets. now being printed for the
purpose of advertising the town and
county. The original order was for
10. 900. but the COMMITTEES. decided that
half IS many again could be used to
advantage.
A Communication was read from Prof.
Rrandsabnrg, who has in charge The
sslAibit to be made by different counties
IN the state in q special car that win
visit state fairs throughout the Missis-
sippi valley and in states further to
the east. Delta county is said to have
taken the largest space in this car Of
any county in the state and Mr. Bran
denburg desired that the exhibit of
grasses and grains be sent on at once.
1t was proposed and voted to employ
Luther Rood to collect this exhibit and
also to work in conjunction with Mr..
Slatten in collecting the exhibit for
the state fair and for which purpose
the county appropriated ss50.Oo. 1t
was the sense Of the meeting that Mr..
Rood should be paid out of the county
fund and act Is deputy to Mr.. Slatten
in looking after the interests of this
part Of the county, if such arrange.
ment could be made with the county
commissioners. We understand that
the commissioners acquiesced, but that
their first chosen representative felt
able to take care of the interests OF
this part Of the county without the
assistance of deputy. The Association,
however, feel that the interests of this
part of the county must be taken care
Of and Mr.. Rood has been employed te
assist in collecting both the Rranden'
berg exhibit and the state fair exhibit,
also to attend the state fair and boost
for Delta and the entire county.
A number of prominent business mer
expressed their intention of attending
the fair and putting in their time IL
close proximity to the county display
boosting for the town and county. I,
was suggested that an organized squae
of Delta boosters attend the fair and
whoop 'er up and show the Puebloan.
and all the visitors that we are = live
set over here and can cap any othe,
county in the state in Diversity Of in
terests and the superior excellence Of
most everything we raise. What this
movement will amount to Is not YET
known, but the idea Is an excellent one
and would undoubtedly result in much
good.
