Norcross. Norcross, Ga., Nov. 6, 1871. In compliance with a general call, a large and enthusiastic meeting of the citizens of Norcross was held at the New Academy Building this night for general consultation. On motion the meeting was organ ized by calling Hon. James P. Sim. mcna to the chair, and requesting J. S.„Peterson to act as Secretary. On assuming his duties the Hon. Chairman, in a short but felicitious and pointed speech announced the object of the meeting to be to con sult together, and exchange views with one another as to the best measures to be adopted to promote the interests of this rapidly growing community, and asking such legisla tive action as might be necessary to perfect a municipal organization, and to confer on the authorities powers surficiently ample to insure the quick and complete enforcement of the laws, and the establishment of a first class High School, etc. By request of the Chairman, the Secretary made a few remaks in re gard to the great desirableness of Norcross as a place of residence gen erally, and particularly as a suburban residence for persons engaged in bu siness in Atlanta, on account of the superior excellence of the water, its elevation, the salubrity of its atmos phere, the cheapness and eligibility of town lots for rsidencos, the ceap ness of labor, living, and building materials, and its convenient distance and accessibility from Atlanta. He dwelt upon the importance of making it attractive by the early establish ment of good schools, and assuming at once a high tone of morals, and giving assurance of full security to person aad property by rigidly enforc ing law. Col. J. J. Thrasher then rose and remarked that it was thought the charter waa defective in some partic ulars, and it was believed to be ad visable to have it amended, and, if need be strengthened. He concluded by asking the Chairman to suggeet needful improvments, whereupon Col. Simmons stated he had carefully road and considered the charter, and that with a few changes it might be regar ded strong enough to accomplish all desired ends. He said that with a provision enabling official incumbents to bold over until their successors weie elected and qualified; and by authorizing the Clerk to issue execu jons, and empowering the Marshal to pursue violators of law, and collect fines beyond the corporate limits; an other making the Intendant and each Commissioner, eac officio, a Jus tice of the Peace; and another author izing the Marshal to appoint one or more deputies, the charter would be as nearly perfect as our present, and immediate future circumstances would 'require. Then, on motion of Col. Thrasher, a committee consisting of Messrs. J. P. Simmons, J. A. Miller, and J. S. Peterson, was appointed to draft re quired arrerdmenU, and secure their adoption by the Legislature. On motion ofC. K. Lewis, M. D., n commitee, consisting of Mesrs. J. J. Thrasher, C. K. Lewis, Dr. Boting, ——— Lively, and Thomas H. Jones, was appointed to report to the next meeting the beet and quickest method of securing tion of yet more commodious and ex tended Academy Buildings, and additional number of experienced superior instructors, and providing ways and means for the early accom plishment of these very infportant obj jects. In response to calls a large uumbor of those present responded in remarks of the most cheering and hopeful character respecting Norcross and its prosperity, which were enthusiastical ly received aud cheered. On motion made, all present, by a rising vote, pledged themselves to the utmost of their ability in the enforcement of laws, and preserving good order, and that the action a J the majority in future lowu meetings should be recognized by the citizens and town authorities as the will of the people. It was then moved by Mr. Wigley that a committee of five be appointed to inquire into and report to the next meeting upon the expediency and practicability of extending our railroad facilities and connections. — The motion being unanimously adopted, the Chairman appointed Messrs. J. S. Peterson, Wigley, J. J. Thrasher, McElroy, «nd Holcombe said committee. On motion of Mr. Lively : Resolved, That, until otherwise determined, the citizens of Norcross hold town meetings the first Monday night in each month. Moved by Mr. George Wallis; and carried : That the proceeding of this meet ing be published in the daily parers of Atlanta, and iu the Gwinnett Her ald. The meeting then adjourned. Jas. P.
