 Work Proposed

Invitations, some 200 or 300 in number. will be extended those persons of the county eligible to membership, and an attendance of corresponding propor- tfons is expected on this occasion.
 This luncheon is purposed to promote further and more definite progress of the organization in the waging of war against Iaxity in criminal law enforcement in this county. The following extract from a history of the association, published at the time of the first public acknowledgment of it's existence. will better serve to ex- plain the motive of the monday dinner on the 21st:
 'rhe executive committee has held sew eral meetings, and is presenting this his tory of the association to the citizens of Jefferson county It proposes to invite a body of 300 or 300 men, eligible to mem- bership in the association, to take lunch at the Hotel Hillman at an early date. At this time the situation can be more fully discussed and the men who have launched the movement will find out if 1t meets with the approval and support of the com munity sufficiently to enable them to att tempt to carry out it's plans; or if it does not receive the moral and financial sup port of a sufficiently large number of vot- CTS, they will feel that their efforts along the lines proposed are i'll advised and they will let the matter drop"
 T. II. Johnston, chairman of the execu- tive committee of the association, states that the luncheon is to be solely in charge of the committee secretary, R. NJ. Brown, and that it is counted upon as an impor- tant agency in uniting the voters of the county for a better understanding of the best means of obtaining observance of the governing statutes.
 The date of the luncheon was decided upon by the executive committee al its session on last Friday, but for special reasons the announcement was deferred until today The details of the event are 10 be worked out by the secretary, Mur- ray Brown, and he will also have the making of the invitation list.
