POUND. 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. Member. NOTICE. The city registration books are now open until the second Wed nesday in January, next, when they will be closed. W. W. Shipp, C. – T.
