J. T. Chase was fleeted Pres ident, W. F. Horner, Vice Presi dent, R. L Towe, Secretary and Treasurer. J. L. Patterson, J. R. Boyd, J. W. Bouse. L G. Shell and Dr. T. W. M. Ijong were elected Directors and E. H. Ricks, W. E. Byrne and M. M. Faison, were elected members of the So cial Committee. The President, Vice Presinent and Chairman of the Board of Directors, (who is yet to be elect ed) were elected as a committee of three to select a name for the organization and draw up a set of by-laws to be presented for adoption at a meeting of the or ganization to be hold in the May or's Office in Roanoke Rapids on next Tuesday night at 8:00 o'clock The meeting was a very suc cessful one indeed. Many ex pressions of opinion in regard to the advisability of organizing a Board of Trade were made by ainerent individuals, the gener a consensus of opinion being that such an organization would be very advantageous for the community as a whole. The at tendant at the meeting was large: twenty ix business men from the towns being present. The Board of Trade is certainly much nearer an accomplished fact now than at any time in the past If the individuals members of the organization can be induced to work together harmoniously and unselfishly, every man put ting forth his best efforts for the success of the organization and upbuilding of the community untold good will result. In an organization of this nature there should be no sectional prejudices, no petty jealouslly and no aspira tion on the part of any individual member to control the workings of the organization, it should be a democracy of business men all working together for one common object it is only along these lines'that progress can be made. The Board of Trade has made a good start - as one member ex pressed it: "it must learn to crawl before attempting to w.ilk" Its future rests on the energy, community spirit and unselfish ness of its members. We hope and predict for it a successful and useful existence. ! Edwards p. Summary ! at l Dr. Jarman, Patterson Mills village, was called away Monday on account of the serious illness of his father.
