 Industrial association was held last night
 at the city hall The meeting was largely
 attended and considerable interest was
 evinced by the members in the business l which came before the meeting. The meet
 ing was presided over by President Pea
 cock and owing to the absence of the sec-
 retary the reading of the minutes of the | previous meeting was dispensed with.
 President Peacock in behalf of the as- | sociation stated that the secretary was in
 correspondence with manufacturing con | cern in regards to the button which has 1 been spoken of at the last meeting. These
 buttons will probably be received by the
 time that the next meeting of the asso-
 citation is held. These buttons will be worn l by the members of the club and will be
 a means of increasing the membership of
 the association. He also reported the fact 1 that the natter of advertising Selma as a 1 manufacturing place and offering free sites for manufacturers had been taken up
 with the Manufacturers' Record, and their | advertising rates had been received. This advertisement will be placed in the paper | twice month. and there is little doubt
 but that it will be the cause of bringing | i Capt. Lloyd Hooper made a partial re- port for the committee on the freight | bureau. This committee is in fine shape
 and will tomorrow morning begin it's work 1 actively, and 1t is hoped that the matter
 of the freight bureau will be almost set
 tied by Saturday night The city has
 been divided into four districts, and a. diff | ferent committee will work each district | and interest the business interests of the | city in joining in to help maintain the 1 bureau. The matter of what it will
 cost each business in the city to help
 maintain the bureau has been figured out
 and the amount is so small that there | is but little doubt but what every bus-
 ness man in the city will readily agree to
 the proposition which these committees l will make him. This bureau will mean d
 great deal to the business interests of the | city, and when 1t is once established it's l effects will be immediately felt by those | who ship and receive freight.
 The report of the committee which was appointed at the last meeting to see about incorporating the association made | a report through Captain Hooper. It was the sense of this committee that the asso- citation should be incorporated. The re- port of this committee was received and they were instructed to go ahead in the | matter of incorporating it.
