ticket, is yet to be determined.

better acting president in the ab
sence of Mr. Howell. Secretary
Dorris read a communication from
a prominent party stating that
on account of Cordele’s many ad
vantages in the nature of freight
rates, timber section, etc,, his
people had concluded to locate in
Cordelea moulding and crate fac
tory.
A committee composed of the
secretary aud Mr. J. F. Ccbb
were appointed to take the mat
ter in charge.
The committee on public roads,
on statistics, and on immigration
made reports, showing progress,
and were granted further time to
continue their work.
A resolution requesting other
and all committees to push work
in their hands was unanimously
passed.
The Board of Directors were
asked to call a meeting in the
next few days, as several matters
of importance should receive their
attention.
The meeting then adjourned
until next regular meeting, the
second Tuesday in January.
Board of Trade.
[Communicated, j
What has become of the sev
eral important matters that have
come up before the Board of
Trade and referred to the commit
tees for investigation and recom
mendation? There are matters
that have been placed in the
hands of these committees that
deserve careful consideration and.
their importance demand prompt
action. It seems that where a
matter is referred to a committee
by the general board that it
would be the duty of the chair
man of that committee to call its
members together and begin an
effort to accomplish the desired
results. When the committee has
done its duty, then report back to
the general board. How many of
these committees have done this?
Right here is where the board
of trade and like organizations
always fail. For example, a very
important measure comes up be
th 0 general board and is re—
NO. 25
ferred to the proper committee,
and is never heard from again.
Lack of interest or organization
on the part of the committee
seems to be the trouble. These
matters are put in the hands of
•these committees with the belief
that they will be acted upon
promptly and in a business-like
mannar. All depends upon the
committee; if they do nothing,
then the general board loses its
interest and the whole thing
comes to naught. If the commit
tees do their duty, then the board
is ready to support them. Let
the chairman of all the commitr
tees that have business before
them be ready to report something
accomplished, something definite
to be acted upon at the next meet
ing of the board.
The Cordele Board of Trade has
made a fine start, a good begin
ning. It has begun a work that
means much to the future of our
city. If only the business now
before the board could be termi
nated promptly and the desired
results obtained, the benefit to
Cordele would be-simply incalcu
lable. Let every citizen pull for
Cordele ; every one can do some
thing. A man that will not try
to make his town a prosperous
town, does not deserve to live in a
prosperous town. Join the boaid
of trade, lend your influence to
it and we will have a great city,
a city of importance, aud all will
have a hand in making it grpat.
The board of trade is doing well;
we cannot afford to let it fail; no,
never. Be ready with your re
port at the next meeting of the
board, or bring some new busi
ness, and be sure to bring some
new names to be added to the
membership list. The pass word
to be given at the door is: “I’m
for Cordele.” This word giveri,
you will be entitled to all the
privileges of the organization.
