ed a Young Mems Business Clul
Temporary officers were elected an
pommittees on membership and by
laws and constitution were name
and each have accomplished much
The result of the efforts Of the las
named committee will be learned to
night when the constitution and by
laws drawn up by them are presented
for adoption at the meeting to be helt
at the Court House. The efforts o.
the membership committee will alsc
he demonstrated at the meeting to-
night if all who have signed applica.
A ton cards are present, for the Court
n House will be almost filled-over three
hundred having signified their inten-
ton of becoming members of the new
organization.
Permanent organization of the Club
will be perfected at the meeting which
begins at eight o'clock tonight in the
Court Room at the Court House. Ev-
cry man who has joined is entitled to
vote every member is the equal of
every one else and has as much say-so
in the conduct of the meeting and in
the affairs of the Club as any other
member.
The Young Mems Business Club is a
national affair, every organization be-
ing conducted along the same lines,
each bears the same name and all CO.
operate together in large undertake
ngs, There are several Clubs in the
State Of Mississippi, one at Jackson,
Yazoo City, Natchez, Vicksburg and
other places.
The organization of a Young Mems
Business Club at Greenwood means
much for the city and for this section
Of the State, Wherever one has been
organized great results have been seen
IN short while.
The organization at jackson began
with thirteen members at the prelim-
mary meeting Greenwood had nearly
fifty, jackson had forty members when
permanent organization was perfected,
Greenwood has three hundred. The
jackson Club has done wonders for
jackson, a much larger city than
Greenwood No doubt but that Green
woods Club with ten times the mem
bership to begin with that Jackson
had, can accomplish equally as much
and more for Greenwood than the /
jackson Club did for the capital city. |
Membership dues will not% more
than dollar month and with the
large membership it probably will not
be that much. Meetings will be held
every two weeks. Some social affair
will be connected with the meetings at
least once every month. The meetings
VIII be of the entire membership.
The meeting tonight is a very i'm
portant one and every one whether
member or not who is thinking of |
Joining is invited to be present. The
bylaws and. constitution are to be
adopted and other things done neces-
sary for the perfection of the organ
ization.
The Greenwood Club has without ,
doubt set new record for a town of
It's size. Three hundred members in
seven days is record that cannot be
easily reached by others.
