I want to know why yon don’t. Do yon think tire fight is over? 1/ you do, let me say you are badly mistaken. You must attend regularly to keep no interest. Let any pro fession neglect its meetings and they will lag tor want of interest. It is reported that you have tty wrong man at the bead of your county organisation. If so, why dido t you keep bitn out? What did yon stay at home for and then complain because things didn’t go to amt yon. , «■ Don’t do so again. Go and do yonr pari and help elect the right men. and help in every way you can to perfect the or ganisation. Then yon still be proud of it and will talk it up instead of down. The mill men, editors, doctorr, and lawyers attend their meet ings or send > representative, and yon will have to do the sauia if yon ever accomplish anything. Lei the world know yon mean business.
