both helpful and surprising. " A
motion was then made to extend a
vote of thanks to this committee for
thei" excellent woik, which was ear

This meeting was by far one of
the most enthusiastic meetings of 'the
organization, and gives .evidence
what can be done if our people will
only go oat and take a part each
week in the transactions of the
Lnamber of Commerce. As ar town
builder, an organization of this kind
haa no equal and it is the duty of
every citizen of Louiaburg to go out
and takt a part. The part you can
take may be email, but eren if yoa
will onlv lend vanw rtrAflftrtftA it will
dd greatly to the success of it Lets
