FROM Mr.. DU BOSE.

mcrcial club in our community.
SUCH an organization would be of
great benefit 10 us all. We have
many gatherings at White Sulphur
Springs of some of the most distin-
4uiShcd men Of our country. and =
commercial organization would
heip bring to their attention the
beauties and possibilities of our
counN and on: schools. Let us as
BUSINESS and professional men Of
l-ewlbury organize and get together
al luncheon On"c Il month, where
we can discuss and act ON the dues
IONS that concern our community
! as Il Wiinlc. Occasionally We could
meet with The County Farm Bureau.
| with The commercial club of Romeo
Nertc and with our friends of the
| otner towns III our county, and in
This way create a county spirit of
cooperation for the things that are
worth while. Every otter commu-
nitN OF any consequence i'm America
has such an organization and if they
nave found ii to be profitable to
organize, surely it will be profitable
Tor Us. Push This plan and may we
! begin the New Ica.' with such an
organization.
Sincerely yours.

We are sad II publish NJ. Du
Bosses letter. |! show, the correct
spirit and idea. BY all means Lew
isburg people S!culd have Il live or
ganlZation. An organization which
would hold. ut least, monthly meet
lnSS 10 dis: usS The problems of Lew
iSbucg and vicinity. We have often
thought Of tlIiS and have wondered
why there is not such an organiza-
ton in Lewisburg.
| In the Near future there will be
several things that should be done
and outside organizations should be
gotten in touch with that LcwiSburg
may have he proper lineup on and
Ill the general progress which will
take place through West Virginia, as
i'll tllc adjonng States along Midland
Trail. This is Of great Importance
and should not longer be neglected.
From another standpoint Green
brier county needs distinct organ
ization Of its own, because many
things can be developed in tho
county which do not come within
the province Of any one town or
combination Of towns. The towns
already and 10 be in The coal fields
OF the county arc in a way peculiar
to themselves and are in measure
independent from the rest of the
county in the sense that the coal is
sold without he county. White Sui
pl.rr Springs. considered as re-
sort, is independent Of the county.
But a county organization, dis
tinct and peculiar in it's self and
which people all over the county,
Including all the towns, should be
permitted to Join. Such an organi-
zation, properly understood and
supported, could have a trained sec
Rotary, whose duties it would be TO
get in touch with the outside world
and under the direction of the Or
Yanization, properly bring before
the public the resources and posi-
Utilities of Grccnbrier county. There
is much to be done in the county
and developments can be made in
the county whereby thousands of
dollars can be brought into the
county. where, al the present time,
nothing is being done.
Money brought into the county by
The sale Of its own products and re.
sources can be used for the develop.
mcrt Of all our schools and for what
ever purpoS" money is needed.
\ county organization should
have Il strong cummiticc of The best
business men from all parts Of the
county to cooperate WITH the Sccrc-
iary and all should cooperate with
the organizations in the various
towns of The county in things pc
culiar to each particular town. In
the county organization. no section
or town Of Tie county should be
known above another. but ii should
have lCl' its purpose the whole
county. This organization should
also, cO-Opcrat" with the Farm Blu
rCau and all other business organi-
zalions and business concerns in the
county. Some may say that The
Farm Bureau may take the place Of
a county organization. This can not
he, because il is an organization pc
Culiar to The farmers and none but
farmers can be active members. a
county organization should include
every one and all business. Let's
have Il live organization i'm and for
for and peculiar to Lcwisburg and
its interests. Let's also have Il cOun-
~ organization. all inclusive. for the
whole county. We do not expect
this to be done to-day or tomorrow
;cvcn. but we have Il vision Of It's be-
