Now that the long winter evenings
are upon us, we expect to have these
meetings oftener. 1t is true, we shall
make an effort to get through with the
business as rapidly as possible that ali
may either return to their homes or
places of business, but we can onw be-
gin in earnest to work for things that
will be for the upbuilding of Glen
wood
G. G. Parks, president of the Glen
wood Board of Trade, thus opened the
meeting last night. 1t was just after
fully, 100 of the business men had feast
ed on the good things prepared by the
ladies of the Presbyterian church and
the cigars had been passed.
Austin Gavin, II. R. Kamm and c.
NJ. Keck were then appointed to ar,
range for the next meeting, which will
be held early in January. The ad-
visory committee reported that by De-
cember ! there would be sufficient
Gebtedness.
Rev. Foote was then called and ad-
dressed the Board as found in another
column. He created great enthusiasm
and was followed by E. T. Taylor, who
promised to advertise Glenwood all

being given Ollie Thorson, Abe Cohn,

On motion of C. NJ Keck, the Board
pledged its support to the work and
Chairman Thorson announced there
would be a meeting of the committee
Monday evening in the Grand and all
are asked to attend and give advice or
suggestions regarding the plans and
specifications and how to raise the
money.
J. c. Schwarz suggested that the city,
school and Board work together for the
building and all use it; the city for
fire house. the school for gym and the
Board for convention place. Presi-
dent Parks referred to the plans of the
late Bishop Knight and this started
the ball rolling for the library. Father
O'Dwyer gave very interesting talk
regarding the advantages of the library
and proved that it is very near to his
heart that Glenwood have such place.
He spoke of the educational advan-
tages not only to home people, but to
the visitors. r. T. Taylor, Father

MIR. Carnegie and secure the library as
soon as possible. Judge Shumate, al

to help her interests. Put your should
ers to the wheel and act.

and all gave their hearty support to tho
undertaking.
1t -as a grand meeting and one that
should mark the turning point in the
history of Glenwood as a convention
city. We are all agreed that the audi
torium, alone, is needed to bring th'
various state conventions and all are'
agreed that with their coming. Glen
wood takes on new life and every citi
zen of the town feels the effect of hav
ing had the leading people Of the stat
with us.
Rev. Greer A. Foote, pastor of tn
First Presbyterian church, last nigh

Glenwood business men and urged ther
to take firm hold and build an auditor

conventions and other gatherings. H
said:

way it can be done; never by talking
