Session and Outline Work
For the Future.
WILLIAMS PRESIDENT PRO TEN

The Business Mems Association still
survives. 1t has an official name, a
constitution and set of bylaws and
SlS AZ in the treasury.
That is not 80 bad for starter. In
fact it is doing wonderfully well when
you consider how the rain was coming
down last Thursday evening. Most
important of all, II the Punxsutawney
Spirit may be believed, Omnipotence
itself is taking hand in the game
by showing prodigies in the heavens
for the towns special encouragement.
However that may be, there is no
doubt whatever that the association
is gaining strength and the work which
it has laid out for itself becoming more
definite in its scope. The members
too are growing more familiar and the
sessions sometimes resemble more the
social gatherings of club than the
formal procedure of business board.
There is nothing under heaven that
this restless bunch of boosters wouldn't
tackle II they thought it worth while.
For instance when they came to select
name for the newly organized board
Thursday night there was some solicit
tude expressed lest the name might
h., tha, tho lifn nf tho acSnai-
alton. That led Jarvis Williams to
remark that the name of the town was
too long anyhow and ought to be short
ened Some one else noticed rudely
drawn map hanging back of the
presidents chair showing Reynoldsville
to be the natural center OF the wheel,
the rsdiating spokes of which run to
Punxs'y, Dubois, Brookville aud other
towns, and he suggested that we re-
christen the old town "The Hub" In
that case the name OF the club would
have naturally been 1.-THE Hub Club"
but not wishing to cause Uncle Sans
postal authorities and the Pennsylvania
Railroads schedule makers too much
trouble, they finally decided to let the
city worry along with its present name
yet little while.
But with all its fun and good spirits
the association Is In earnest In its
purpose and the constitution adopted
after much debate Thursday evening
outlines system of progressive town
booming that will not only include the
industrial development Of the city, but
try to enlist the ladies of the commun-
ity In work for the towns betterment.
In past years a number Of excellent
organizations have existed for time
among the women, and it is now hoped
that with a central organization to
direct and back up with sufficient funds,
the plans, the societies can be revived
and made to do an important work.
| The constitution was presented and
read by G. M. Mcdonald and had been
originally prepared for the Board Of
Trade partly organized last winter.
In the main 1t was adopted as read, the
most important amendments being In
regard to the initial membership fee,
which was placed at three dollars, and
In regard to an executive board Of
eleven, instead OF seven, as at first
planned. One thousand copies OF the
constitution and bylaws were ordered
printed and will be distributed among
the citizens OF Reynoldsville, thus
giving everyone the privilege of ex.
amining at leisure the aims and meth
DDS OF the new organization. After.
wards a systematic effort will be made
to secure the cooperation OF all citi.
| zens.
Immediately after the adoption Of
these important articles, four gentle.
men, G. M. Mcdonald, ]. W. Emig,
M. e. Weed and D. 81. Rreskey, paid
to the secretary the initial membership
fees of three dollars each and thus
secured the honor OF being the first
paid members Of the new organization.
The association will meet again
Thursday evening Of this week in the
Old Home Week rooms in the Bing-
Stoke building and II there is a business
man or citizen In town who has not
yet shown his interest In the towns
welfare by his presence, drop in for
while that night.
In the absence Of President Gillespie
Thursday evening, the chair was filled
by Joe Williams and c. r. Hall, sue
cessively.
Attention Firemen!
