anu INV anu WHO, as consequence,
is thoroughly versed in all its pro-

grounds during the latter part of this
month He recalled the fact that tn,
| chautauqua was originally planned
and fostered by the Merchants asso-
citation of the city and that the MEM
bers of that organization should sec
to its ultimate success. Mr.. Hard
ing also spoke of the new Commercial
club and urged the association to CO.
operate i'm the work of organizing
and maintaining the new organiza-

At the request of J. Il. Virden, a
prominent worker i'm the chautauqua
movement, 1t was agreed to make an
| effort to have all of the business
| places of the city close during We'd

gested that a committee be appoint

Talks regarding the necessity of the
association cooperating with the pro-
moters of the new Commercial club |
were given by w. II. Jones. Henry |

a business organization with the one |
object of boosting Marion's industrial |
growth The social feature will be |
of less Importance than 1t was in the |
old club.
