ASSOCIATION
Of MERCHANTS
MAKE PROTEST
ORGANIZATION OF LOCAL BUSI-
NESS MEN TAKES ACTION TO-
WARD THE IMPROVEMENT or
EXPRESS DELIVERY IN THE
CITY.

Strong protest has been made
through the medium of correspond
ence with the local manager OF the
express company regarding the al
legged slow delivery service OF the
company now being accorded in the
city. The Merchants Association did
not have a meeting last night because
OF attractions which caused the lack
of a quorum, but those present in
formally discussed the stand of the
association toward trying TO get
better delivery service for the down
town districts at least, and the
punched correspondence which had
passed between the association and
the manager Of the company here
was looked over
II was maintained by the mer-
chants that since the establishment
OF the branch Office of the company
at the depot the delivery has been
bad. and the membership brought
I'D the matter with a view of getting
some needed remedy The company.
IL WAS alleged, had promised to bet
ter the delivery just as soon as the
streets are in good condition, at
tributing a failure to keep up the
formerly given good service to the
condition OF the streets. The man
anger has kromised 10 better mat
tiers tu<t as soon as possible.
II was suggested that the holiday
rush was responsible for the delays
which are now being experienced, but
this was denied by some who related
their experiences with the com
pany's wagons, who claimed that the
poor service has for a long time been
in force. The manager will better

range certain matters which he has

TALK Of THE
NEXT FAlR IN
THIS COUNTY
MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION AL
READY WORKING UP PRELIMI-
NARIEs FOR GREAT EVENT TO
TAKE PLACE DURING THE COM
ING YEAR.

Although the date Of the next agrl-
cultural fair is nearly a year IN me
beyond, the Merchants Association
has already seen fit to start the plans
working for that event, and at the
gathering last night I was learned
that the coming agricultural SHOW IS
already in mind. and that plans are
now being made to make II one OF ths
most successful events of the kind
that has ever been pulled on in this
county II had been proposed that a
meeting, to close up the affairs of the
first one, should have been held on
the last day of this year, but when II
was considered that December 81, the
date Of the proposed meeting, falls on
Friday. and which precedeS the New
7 ear holiday by day, it was decided
to advance the date for that meeting
week. 1t will therefore be held on
January z, 1910. At that time. not
only viii the weaknesses of the first
attempt in the way Of system be talk
ed over and remedies suggested and
adopted, but the preliminaries for the
second and the greater event Will be
endorsed. Bankers are to be present
and give their views The officers of
the old fair will also be invited to be
on hand. Manager StOrrs, who so sue
an agricultural show in Escambia, will
also manage The larger show, and he
will be at the meeting. Mr.. StOrTs
was in the city last night, but the
merchants did not see him. They
would have requested him to be on
hand had there have been a quorum
on hand, for there we're several mat
tiers of detail that he could have ex-
planned to them. Mr.. StorTs LETT for
his home in DeFuniak this morning.
The merchants are much enthused
over the success OF the last show and
take pardonable pride in contemplat-
ing the part they had in getting up the
affair. They are well conscious OF
the fact that outside aid helped to
make il success, but they originated
the idea and they propose to make 1t
an annual event. No fault was found
with the management or general ar
rangement, but several weak points in
the way of system did come out and
these can easily be bTidged in the sec
ond and all future attempts. One very
nice feature OF the fair was the readi-
ness with which all premiums were
paid. This was the biggest advertise
meut the show got from the exhibitors.
and this feature will be one that will
greatly help all future fairs.
The stockholders will also be invited
to be on hand at the January meeting.
and all details will at that time be
pressed for final arrangement for the
second and the bigger fair.
