The Secretary, Joe Sullivan, has col
lected March dues and reports everyone
interested in the progress OF the oa1-

the past two months the secretary has
been busy with the many details con-
nected with a new organization, such
as circulars, newspaper articles, collect

as secretary for the citizens OF Saftord

is an injustice to the citizens of Stafford
to ask of them to bear the burden of
the entire Graham county, every citizen
should do his share, regardless of what

will reap the benefit and rewards of the
work that the Stafford Chamber of Com
