erv man who has Joined is entitled to

every one else and has as much, ,say-so
in the conduct of the meeting and in

The Young Mems Business Club is a
national affair, every organization be-
ing conducted along the same lines,
each bears the same name and allco-
operate together in large undertak-
ings. There are several Clubs in the
State of Mississippi, one at Jackson
Yazoo City, Natchez, Vicksburg and
other places.
The organization of 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 seer
in short while.
The organization at jackson begar
with thirteen members at the prelim
mary meeting. Greenwood had nearl!
fifty, Jackson had forty members wher
permanent organization was perfected
Greenwood has three hundred. Th'
Jackson Club has done wonders fol
Jackson, a much larger city thai
Greenwood. No doubt but that Green
woods Club with ten times the mem
bership to begin with that jackson
had, can accomplish equally as mucl
and more for Greenwood than tn
Jackson Club did for the capital city
Membership dues will not be NOR
than dollar a month and with tn
large membership it probably will no
be that much. Meetings will be hel
every two weeks. Some social affal
will be connected with the meetings a
least once every month. The meeting
will be of the entire membership.
The meeting tonight is a very in
portant one and every one whether
member or not Who is thinking {
joining is invited to be present. Tf
bylaws and constitution are to (
adopted and other things done nece
sary for the perfection of the orgal
ization.
The Greenwood Club has without
doubt set new record for town
its size. Three hundred members
seven days is record that cannot
easily reached by others.
