AURORA. Neb., Jan. A-(Special) i'm
Highlander hall last night get together
meeting of Aurora business men was held
under the direction of the Aurora CONNER
cial club. It was the first OF a series of
similar meetings which are planned for
1911.
That Aurora is a good town and that her
business men and citizens generally are
going to compose themselves into one big
team and pull for a bigger and a better
town was the spirit of the gathering.
POSTMASTER Charles p. Craft took occa-
sion to call timely attention to the fact
that the business men are not as loyal to
each other as they should be, and offered
some good-natured advice.
"A New Vision of an Old Tale" was
handled by Postmaster Alden in an orig
inal poem. City Superintendent A. e.
Fisher talked entertainingly from the sub
ject, "Our Schools Rev. F. d. Reeves
said many good things about Aurora and
why II is a good town in speaking from
the theme, "Our Churches"

signed to f. J. Sharp and the thoughts he
brought out were well received
From the toast "Fraternalism" County
Judge Washburn dehYered a scholarly ad-
dress. picturing vividly the difference be-
tween discriminate and indiscriminate
charity. illustrating how much better it is
to go about quietly doing good than It is
to make a brass band display Of frater-
nalism.
The subject Aurora From the Road
was handled by President Wood of the
Commercial club. Handling Our City
Dads" was treated reminiscently by Gen.
eral Delevan Bates.
Representative c. EA Ner presented tC
the meeting a copy OF the agricultural bill
which has been introduced in the house OF
representatives by Filley OF Gage county
and asked an expression OF those assem-
bled upon the merits of the proposed iegis
lation. BY unanimous vote the meeting
favored the bill and asked that Hamilton
county representatives use their best en-
deavors 20 secure its passage other mat
tiers that will come before the Legislature
were discussed. II was the prevailing opin
ion that the state university should b.
