Secretary and Treasurer's Annual Report Posted on 'Change Yesterday. Only routine matters of little- inter est to the public were considered at the regular meeting of the Board of Managers, of the Produce Exchange yesterday morning at 11 o'clock. President H. G. Smallbon.es presided and rJol., Cantwell, the efficient and obliging: secretary, was at his post. After the transaction of routine mat ters, it waSjOrdered that the secretary and treasurer post on 'Change his an nual statement for the inspection of members which instruction was promptly complied with. The annual meeting of . the Board of Managers will be held next Mon day, and it has been suggested that as this is the only association that keeps a complete record of the business of the city, and that a3 every business man is directly or indirectly interest ed in the work accomplished by it, that thfs, the beginning ot a new fiscal year, would be an appropriate oc casion for business men who are not members to associate themselves with the enterprise. The Exchange has now about forty members. The first meeting of the City Board of Audit and Finance for the fiscal year beginning April 1st, was held last night. Those present were Messrs. H. C. McQueen, - S. P. McNair, C. W. Yates and W. A.

We have the best of reasons to believe that the present Board of Aldermen appre ciate fully the necessity of re organ izing the business of the city and I am sure this board will concur in any such measures requiring our sanction. I wish to state also that it occurred to me last Fall that a part of the bonded debt of the city could probably be refunded at a lower rate of interest and I bad a bill for the purpose pre pared and passed by the last General Assembly by which it is hoped that a considerable annual Saying will be made. Capt. Jno. Cowan was unanimously re-elected clerk to the- Board upon motion of Mr. S. P. McNair.

Wooten, near by, and physi cians were summoned. He proved to be Mr. Council Joiner, a well known citizen of La Grange, and though till, was done . for him that friends and physicians tould do, he died this morning about ten o'clock.
