Citizens, Lawyers and B. M. A.

AFTER FEDERAL COURT.
Enthusiastic Meeting Held
Thursday and PreIimin.
airy Steps Taken.

Way back in the past, when Judge
Walter Evans was Commonwealth's
Attorney, the local bar had dreams
about securing sittings Of the FEEDER
al Circuit Court here. After that
there were other dreams, and later
dreams, and dreams, but nothing de-
veloped to lend encouragement and
dreams and plans we're forgotten as
a tale that is tod.
But the local bar to-day counts but
few among its number that were
prominent in practice then. The
bar. with only two or three except
ions, is composed cfmen in the prime
of life, some younger. This young
manhood is asserting itself and back
ed by progressive citizens and the B.
nj. A., they are now out after a
larger post Office building than
Uncle Sam has agreed to give US.
And they are determined to leave no
stone unturned to secure sittings of
the Federal Court here. There are
a dozen or more reasons why Judge
Evans should hold court here, his
home town. We think the commit
tee having this matter in hand will
have no difficulty in enlisting Judge
Evans influence.
Thursday morning large number
of citizens met with the bar and
started out on plans that should not
fail 70 accomplishments.
After adopting a resolution ex-
pressing the views of those in at
tendance, Especial committee was
appointed to communicate with
Judge Evans and secure his cooper
alton.
The chairman of the meeting, j.
&c. Duffy, w. T. Fowler end H. W.
Linton were appointed committee
to confer with the B. M. A. and en-
list the support Of every member of
the Association.
The matter will also be laid before
Congress at the proper time and in
the right way and having the good
will of so many Representatives and
Senator's there is every reason to be-
lieve that they can prevail on the
committee chosen, to, make a recon-
mendation for what will be asked
for.
