The annual meeting OF the stock
holders of the Wilson Cypress com

Ace In this city last Wednesday
morning. =,
These annual meetings always call
TO Palatka several prominent gentle
men from Michigan and Ohio, who
are among the stockholders and d.
rectors of the company, and who al
ways make the occasion OF these
meetings time for something other
than formal business discussion
They generally stay here week OF
two. Among those present at this
meeting is Mr. Chas. A. Rust. presl-
dent of the company, whose home is
at Saginaw, Mich. Then there are
Messrs. Peter Corcoran and James
G. MACPHERSON of the same place. d.
w. Rust of Detroit, and Geo. y.
Chandler, prominent banker OF
Cleveland, Ohio. All the gentlemen
named are prominently identified
with the business interests of their
respective cities, and their attend
ance upon these annual winter meet
ings is regarded more in the nature
of a visit and recreation than a time
for intricate business debate. In
fact the business of the Wilson COM
pany runs so smoothly and has been
so uniformly we'll managed and sue.
cessful that there is little for the
stockholders to do beyond burning
an occasional good cigar and indulg.
ing in congratulations and pleasant
~, at which latter the gentlemen
named are all experts.

Mrs. r F. Adams, secretary, sends
the News the following regarding the
annual meeting of the Palatka Lii
brary association:
The annual meeting of Palatka Lii.
brary association was held in the
reading room Wednesday, March
9Th. Reports from officers and CON-
mittees gave evidence of the increas-
ing appreciation of the library as an
educational factor of this city. The
report of the librarian showed that
., 1857 persons had visited the library
during the year, and that 5,054 books
had been drawn.
As the result of the untiring efforts
Of the president, /. l. Hines, the f.
nancial condition of the library is
better than it was one year ago.
The receipts from the current Ly-
ceum course have enabled the asso'
citation to add many new books and
it is hoped that others may be added
at an early date.
A vote of thanks was unanimously
extended to the members of the city
council for the timely assistance they
have rendered the association by
providing home for the library in
the new City Hall. The books will
be transferred as soon as the room
can be equipped for them, and nc
effort will be spared to give satisfac-
tory service.
The following officers bespeak the
hearty cooperation of the public,
and hope to make the coming year
the E9ost successful one in the his
tory of the association: President, l.
