ISOLATION at their meeting yesterday
put their seal Of approval on a recon-
mendation received from the execu-
tive committee providing for the auto
matte retirement of five members
from the board of directors at the
end of each year. and an amendment
TO Article VII Of the articles OF In
corporation to make this plan effec-
tive will be presented to the stock
holders for their consideration at the
special meeting to be held at the
court house Monday evening, Janu-
ary 20. The text OF the report is as
follows:
Executive Committees Report.
To the Board of Directors:
The executive committee begs to
submit to the board Of directors the
following recommendations:
1t appears advisable to this com
mittee that some method should be
devised by which there shall be a
change in the personnel of the board
of directors at stated intervals. IN
der the present articles of incorpora-
ton, the directors are elected annual
~ for term of one year each. This
provision might be satisfactory one
we're it not for the fact that at the
annual meeting of the stockholders.
circumstances SO turn out that there
is a great probability of the reelection
OF the old board. In addition to this.
there is the question as to how the
proxies shall be voted In order to do
away with any criticism that the
board of directors is attempting TO
perpetuate itself In ONCE.
Your executive committee believes
that in an association OF this kind It
is most necessary and advisable that
new members shall be placed upou
the board every year, and that pro-
vision shall be made which viii pre-
vent 2 member from serving more
than three consecutive Years.
The executive committee. there
fore, recommends that the hoard Of
directors submit TO the stockholders
at the special meeting to be held on
January 10Th, the proposed substitute
for Article vi. which Is submitted
herewith.
As this amendment cannot become
effective until January. 1914, plan
must 0e devised whtch shah accom-
plish the change IN the board OF d.
rectors without further delay. ne
therefore submit the following plan
and recommend that Il BE- adopted by
the board OF directors and It's proris-
ions be carried out At the meeting ID
be held on Tuesday, January II.

pared. five Of which shall be dasfgnat-

Passing OF Another Year

Another year has grown
old, This time it is Nineteen
Hundred and Twelve whose wan
cheeks and lettering footsteps
bespeak the savages CT Time.
Verdant Springs with it's wealth
of greeneries and it's budding
fruits, smiling Summer with its
full blown flowers and fields CT
promise, glorious Autumn, with
golden haze and rich fruitage,
all have passed; and now, by
Winters cold, the year totters
on the tomb of Time to take it's
place beside those gone before.
According to the standards and
measurements of men it has
been good year. The seasons
have been well timed not too
much sunshine, not to much
rain, such mixture Of these
elements that growth was aided
and cultivation was not retarded.
All over our land the grainaries
and barns are full, and our banks
are filled with coin and currency
of the realm. Our merchants
have been urged to its highest
speed and all labor has found
steady employment. Truly, it
is mammoth cornucopia that
has been emptied into our laps,
an arclight Of prosperity that
glitters throughout our land.
AS the wrink!ed year draws to
a close let US recount it's bless
ings and breathe out the prayer
of thanksgiving uttered by the
prophit Of old, The Lord has
done great things for us where
fore we are glad - Honey Grove

BLACK LETTERS AND WHITE.

There Is n tendency on the part Of
letters on n black background. not re-
alizing that the black letter on white
background Is easier to read and can
be seen at II greater distance. This
follows In an interesting way from the
structure of the retina of the eye.
The impression OF letter mt the
limit OF vision Is received on the ends
Of n small bundle Of nerves which con

1t follows. therefore. according to
the Scientific American. that all nerves
on the dividing edge between any
black and white area transmit the sen

and white areas appear wider and all
black lines and black areas appear
narrower than they really are
