A comittoe from the Young Mems Lit
erary and Social club, consisting or
Messrs. Peter C. Cannon. r. w. Chap
man and Edward Mccanery met in the
rooms of the club last evening. Tho OBJ
Ject was other to make one more
effort to revive interest IN the club or
to dispose of the property. as there are
bills for rent, light, etc. that must be
paid. This committee with n few of the
old-ume members have held on. hoping
that perhaps tho tide would turn, and
the club would come TO tho front once
moro 1t nearly 30 years -sinee=the
club was organized. and there Is hardly
a man of middle age In this section
who has gained any prominence in busi-
ness or professional life who was not
In his younger days a member Of it. The
club has an excellent library. certainly
as good as that of any similar club In
the state. Tho committee. whilo not ex
pecting 10 be able 10 bring about tho de-
sired results, will meet again Friday
evening. and will then come 20 a definite
decision.
