The committee OF the Young Mems Lit
erary and Social club which has been
making an effort to either infuse new life
into the organization or TO dispose of It's
property so that the few remaining MEM
bers may be relieved of further liability
has sent out call TO all members who
have paid their dues at any time since
1904 Since that date no member has been
suspended 1t is the desire OF the COM
ulfttee and one or two others that every
one interested will be present and advise
the committee as TO the best course TO
pursue The committee is OF the opinion
that club life in Olneyville is thing OF
the past and is ready 10 dispose or the
property of the club, which at this stage
OF the game will not realize a sum more
than enough to settle the outstanding
bills.
