A Board of Trade Was Proposed at
Meeting of Citizens,

Last Thursday evening 80 of our bust
ness men and farmers met at the Chelsea
inn for a get together" to discuss the
subject Of organizing board of trade in
this town and at o'clock the company
sat down to an especially fine fve-course
dinner, prepared by mine host, Charles
L. Dickinson, and if any one entertains
the thought that Charles cannot put up
'some feed" all they have to do to dis
abuse their mind Of this idea is to pat
ronize his table, Ample justice having
been done to the viands, Hale X. Oar
ling called the meeting to order and III
his capacity as postmaster, called upon
nearly every one present to speak, all OF
whom responded and it seemed to be a
unanimous feeling that the time was ripe
to organize board of trade, through
which the various interests of the town
might become more closely allied, where
by much benefit might be derived TO our
citizens individually and to the town as
whole, and the following committee
