Mau Meeting of Citizen, at the Opera
Home To-Day to Illscu** the Matter—
America* Kealliee the Great Necessity,
and Will Act Accordingly.
At last Americus U to have that which,
more than anything else, ahe baa so long
felt the need of—a board of trade.
The ball was put in motion yesterday
by a few public spirited citizens, and is
now rolling on towards success.
And tliat success is almost within the
grasp of those who have worked so long
to acco.mplisb this much desired object,
and ere the setting of another sun the
initiative steps will have been taken to-
wards the accomplishment of this end.
There is not a city in the state, if in
the South, of the size and commercial
Importance of Americus that lias not its
hoard of trade, and the wonder is that
the commercial metropolis of Southwest
ern Georgia has not taken long ago the
important step that wilt be taken to-day.
Many times within the past year or
two tlie subject lias been agitated more
or less, particularly by tile press of the
city, but never yet has any concert of
action in regard to tills most important
matter been taken by our business men.
Not that they did not see and realize
fully the manifold advantages that
would arise therefrom to every trade
and industry in Americus, but each,
presumably, wailed upon others to take
tho Initiative, and aa as a consequence
nothing was done.
However that may be, the ball has at
last been started, and in a manner that
insures the ultimate snccess of the en
terprise. Americus must and will hare
a board of trade,sand that right away.
A list was started by a committee of
citizens yesterday, calling for a general
meeting of bnslneas men at the opera
house this afternoon. Tliat there will
be a rousing meeting, resulting In the
attainment of the object in view, one
has but to read the names below.
Following Is the petition, together
