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.

Mass Meeting In The Court
. 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.

BUSINESS MEN'S ASSOCIA
TION OF LOUISBTJBQ
Places Entrance Fees at $5.00
And Annual Dues at $10.00
And $5.00; Regular Meetings
Second and Fourth Tuesday
Nights in Each Month.
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.
