CANVASS FOR CHAMBER.
Committee Actively at Work at Maycs-
vile to Form Commercial Body -
Crops GOod-Fight Oh DiSpensary
Wakes Hot.

Mayesville, May 27.-A canvass is
being made to secure members for
the Chamber of Commerce and the
committee is meeting with great sue
cess in getting the business men gem
orally to join the proposed CONNER
cial organization. Just as soon as the
town has been canvassed thoroughly,
meeting will be called and an or.
ganiZation effected The business men
see very readily the need of such an
organization, especially at this time,
anu the body should be most en-
thusiastic one in every respect.
Messrs. G. r.. Mayes and Geo. G.
Warren, the cashiers of the two banks,
are making the canvass for subscrip-
tions.
The recent rains have greatly i'm
proved the crops around here and
although the spring was unusually
dry, the cotton and corn crops are ex-
ccptionally good in this immediate
section. The oat crop has been bet
ter than usual and some of the plant
crS have rcaped reccid yields of this
grain. The tobacco crop is looking
quite healthy and there should be 4
successful season in this enterprise
which is being revived after several
years. If this should prove a paving
proposition this year, thdxe will be no
doubt that large acreage will be
planted in this weed next year.
X. }. Maycs, Sr., who was ap-
pointed only last week as a member
of the board of trustees of the Mavcs-
Will" schools. has resigned. III. /.
Thomas was the other new appointec.
The fight ON the whiskcy question
is waxing warm. All of the ministers
IN town have preached ON he sub
j"ct recently and there is much dis
CuSSion ON all sides. 1t was once
thought that the voters faVuring the
c-cStahliShmcnt of the dispcnsarv
were in u large majority but the
"antis" seem to be stronger than il
was thought and the election, if il
is secured, will no doubt hc CLOSELY
contested. However, a man does not
always vote lis he talks.
