The above are the officers and di-
rectors elected at the meeting of the
Young Mems Business Club last eve
ming at the city building by very
spirited vote. These officers will serve
for the ensuing year. 1t is probable
that revision of the constitution and
bylaws will be made whereby half Of
the above directors will be selected to
serve for two years in order that each
year there will not be an entirely new
set of directors come into Office To
take charge of the business of the club.
There were two tickets placed in
the field. but ticket number = was en-
larged in order to include the same
number of names as on ticket number

Fulghum, Thomas p. Butler. Frank
Jenkinson and Charles Jordan
Leeds Unanimous Choice.
The election Of r. G. Leeds to sue
ceed himself as president. and E. b.
Harris as secretary TO succeed himself
WAS almost assured before the ballot
ing was commenced. The election OF
the other officers and directors was
gained only by close vote. After
the election 1t was moved that the elec-
tion of r. G. Leeds be made unanimous
which was done. Mr.. Harris for secre-
tary was the choice of each nominat-
ing committee.
Entire satisfaction was expressed by
the members of the club. of whom
there we're about seventy-five present,
over the result of the election. The Of
ficers are well known citizens and the
directors include prominent citizens
and farmers of the surrounding COM
munity. every one of whom is boost
er and will assist in making Richmond
| greater city. BY the election Of the
| farmers as directors il is demonstrated
that the club is for Wayne county as
| well as for Richmond.

two years. In order that the club will
always have experienced men in the
management. II is also proposed Ia

II is probable that the organization
will seek other headquarters than

of rooms in the Colonial building will
probably be selected.
