Digs Up Bones of Person Quite a little interest wa? aroused; Wednesday when workmen' digging tbe foundation at the Graded School unrarthed :he bones of a person bur led- many years ago. There Is no re* collection yet by any ot our oldest citizens of anyone ever having been burled on this property. And but for the brass buttons found with the bones which indicate that the person was a soldier, it might hare been con ceded that In the grove was an Indian hunting ground as there is every ct dence that the place where Loulsburg now Is and its surroundings was a favorite among the red skins. The bones were removed and after having been inspected by large numbers of our citizens were laid away again at rest.

Quite a good number of Loulsburg's citizens attended the Mass Meeting In the Court House on Monday [light. The object of the meeting was explain ed to be for the interest of selecting a ticket composed of people of Louis burg who were in sympathy with low er taxes and a better and busier Louis burg. Many speeches were made and quite a broad discussion entered into, with no definite action being taken, with the exception of a recommenda tion that no attention be given the primary the next day and that the meeting would come together again on next Tuesday night to consider the adylsabillty of naming a ticket to be presented In the general Town elec tion In opposition to the ticket nomi nated by the primary. This action seemed to satisfy the opposition and very little has been said about the, past or future meeting since.

House (Contributed) Pursuant to a call about 375 people of the own met in the Court House on last Monday night for the purpose of discussing the conditions of the affairs of the Town. of Ualalmg The expressions el Oils gathering iwere made in a dignified manner no personalities, no "mud slinging" but the earnestness of all present was very evident and those present spoke $nd thought in no uncertain terms that demanded and proposed to have and give the people of this Town a fcir square deal ag to whom they would, vote for, for Mayor and Commission ers. Determination and resolve was written on nearly every face, that they intended to change the presenl Town Government. Dr. A. H. Fleming was called to the chair and in a ringing, stirring ap peal explained the objects of the meet ing. Messrs. M. S. Davis, H. C. Tay lor, W. B. Morton, J. L. Palmer, S. A. Newell and others made short force ful talks. There were present a good many, ladies who were called upon but none responded waiting to express their views at the Polls. There was an overwhelming opinion that the primary called by the present Board of Commissioners for Tuesday ffi'e" ICth was not sufficient time In which to allow the people to express their views, having been called on Friday the 6th through the Franklin Times, to be held on Tuesday the 10th was not fair to 'the people only giving about two or three days In which to select a Ticket. Thlo was from all appearances taking "Snap Judgment" and running the Primary with little or no notice, not giving the people any time for deliberation to discuss the matter, as they thought It shoald have been as wps the custom heretofore to give ample time In which to select a ticket to be voted on. A committee was appointed to meet and aubinlt a list of names to th6 Mass Meeting on Tuesday night next, from which there would be selected a Mayor and Town Commissioners to be voted on at the election to be held in May, which tick et will be pledged to Lower Taxes, Economic Administration of Town government a retrenchment In expen ditures. A committee was appointed to look Into the Laws as to a City Manager and report Tuesday night next. Harmony and good feeling pre vailed during the entire meeting and ?* o'' results will be accomplished. people of this town think they have a right to select their Town Tick et, as they have, but wish a free open discussion of the matter. Let all who are Interested come out Tuesday night and take part In the proceedings.

The third successive meeting of Louisburg's Business Men held on last Tuesday night was possibly the biggest and busiest yet had. At tn? meeting a complete and permanent or gnnizatlon was perfected. The meeting was called to order by Mr. M. S. Davis and after reading the minutes of the former meeting. Mr E. H. Malone, representing a commit tee, made a report on the possibility o I getting buyers for open warehouses for the sale of tobacco. He In com pany with Mr. D. F. McKInne, went to Richmond and saw the heads of the Imperial and Export Tobacco Com panies and while getting no definite promise, expressed an encouraging hope, as It would be after arrange ments were made for this year before they could give a definite answer. Mr. F. J. Beasley, for the Commit tee on Constitution and By-laws, re ported and ottered a draft of the same for this Assoclalon. With a few amend ments they were adopted. A motion prevailed making the reg ular meetings on the second and fourth Tuesday nights in each month The entrance fee was placed at $5.00 for everybody, and the annual dues for heads of business at $10.00 payable" semi-annually in advance, and $5.00 l'or emplojees, payable fsmi-annually in advance. The Board of Directors were empowered to determine who were entitled to be classed employees. The Constitution and By-Laws hav ing been adopted It became necessary to re-organize in order that all elec tions would be regular. Therefore the following were elected by ballot as Directors: W. E. White, F. J. Beasley, K. K. Allen, L. Kline, E. a. Ford, M. S. Clifton, F. A. Roth. The Directors retired and after con sultation reported the election of the following officers for the ensuing year; President? M. 8. Davis ? Vlce-presi dea t ? Dr. A. H. Fleming; Secretary ? G. M. Beam; Treasurer ? T. W. Wat son. About fifteen new members were re ceived at this meeting and about sev enty-five were present. The indica tions are that Louisburg is going to have a real live Business Men's Asso ciation and great results are contem plated. It is especially desired that every business man and every employ ee in Lioulsburg who wants to see the town grow, wants to see taxes de crease and money more plentiful, there by making business better, associate himself with this Association and lets all be a help to one another and all a help to the town.
