of the people of this county will

TOWN INCORPORATION

AT The meeting of the Spring.
field commercial club Friday
night it pas decided to call an
election for the election of town
officers defacto, the same to
serve till the next regular cleo
tor.
Accordingly DR.. Culp was
chosen for mayor, and w. A.
Stroud, r. F. Flint, H. G. Kaiser,
w. M. Stewart, q. G. Eckles
and j. N. J-tt for trustees. S.
f. Speckmann and Attvs. Alber-
ii an1 T.' raj wer+. chosen as a
co,nn,'tt"" ,o,further look into
the matter AMI t., set the date
for the election.
AS sooe as these officers are
elected they will proceed to ap-
point d clerk, marshall and city
attorney and a treasurer, or as
many of these as they may
deem advisable.
Springfield was incorporated
in 1888. hut a few years after
that they ceased to eject officers,
and the Incorporation has conse-
quenty been sleeping from that
time till this. However, as the
statutes do not provide for the
dissolution of town incorpora-
ti"r by a time limitation, all
there was to do was to proceed
to the election of officers, which
is now being done.
Two of the main purposes in
reviving the incorporation were
the building of side walks and
the keeping of stock Off the
streets, while in many other
ways the city organization can
aid in the building up of the
town and in advancing it's inter-
eStS.
