Rumors have originated from some
unreliable source that tbs Board of

afteriJanuary it will bid dear old JEFF
ferson good bye.
This rumor is unfouuded The Board
of Trade is here to stay.
Bury the Ratchet aud all boost for
Jefferson county"
The above caption was the slogan
adopted at the greatest get.together din
ner ever held some months ago when
the Board of Trade was organized.
What have been the results?
The Ratchet was buried at that meet
ing. An optomistic slogan was born
which is, Boost Boost Boost! for
dear old Jefferson County,
Are we going to boost together?
Should Jefferson County be proud of
the Board OF Trade as constituted?
Well it's hardly necessary to ask this
question. Jefferson County is proud of
anything that is headed by such men as
President Goetz, aud the directors of the
Board of Trade? No better men could
have been picked than those who head
the Board Of Trade. and this is the best
boost that any community would want
let US name them: Mr.. Geo, b. Goetz.
It's worthy president, AMI his aides VINO

men of many lines OF trade and business
in Jefferson county, men who have had
much to do with the progress aud max
in dear Old efferson county, men who
have no other thought than of Jefferson
county, and that It is goo enough to
make money III, aud it is good enough
to hive in and invest money in, and these
men are Jefferson county investors.
Now that we have real Board of
Trade it would seem to be the duty of
all the citizens of Jefferson county if
they do not belong to the Board of
Trade, to join. and those who have not
time to assume part of its work. to Al
least give the association its moral sup
port. AT any rate dou't knock; e a
booster.
Think of what this organ cation has
done IN Its infancy.
Bring to mud the sale Of Powhafan
College; that through an advertising
system the Board OF Trade sent broad
cast its publicity ald brou ght the pres
ent owner in touch with the trustees. 1t
has located an industry-two of them in
fact-the college may be termed such,
and the Charles rown Boitins Works,
an Industry that Is small, but will devel-
op. and then remember the greatest OF
all successes, the farmers and Merch-
ants Fall Festival. aud the many little
things that come within the confines OF
its routine of work and that it is working
OF all times to bring new industries here,
aud that there are III lnufacturers already
knocking at the doors. OF which the
Board of Trade is Investigating. all Of
which wall receive the moral and 6nan-
cial support of the business men of the
county.
The writer has found Jefferson county
good enough for anyone to live in, good
enough to invest money in, good
enough % prosper in, so if it is good
enough for all these it is good enough
TO support real live Board of Trade
