John R. Shaw,
Pursuant to the call of Mr. W. E.
Murpbey, chairman of the late board of
trade meeting held at the opera house,
quite a number of citizens assembled at
the county court room yesterday af
ternoon.
Mr. Murpliey again presided, and Mr.
Lott Warren, by request, acted as sec
rotary.
The chair briefly stated the object of
the mooting, which was to hear the re
port of the special committee of live ap
pointed from the first meeting to pre
pare a constitution and by-laws for the
proposed board of trade.
This committee presented,substantial
ly, the constitution and by-laws govern
ing the board of trade in Columbus,
which, after very careful and thorough
examination, were considered the best
for the government of the Americas
board.
The question of organization was dis
cussed at length, whereupon, owing to
the rather small attendance, it was de
elded to defer the same until another
date when a larger representation of the
business men of the city could be had.
For the benefit of those present, how
ever, the subscription books were
opened, and quite a number of shares of
the stock were taken. The committee,
In their report, suggested putting these
shares at ten dollars each, and further
more that the capital stock be made
*1000, with the privilege of increasing
the samo to any amount not to exceed
*10,000.
Upon motion the chair was author
ized to appoint another committee of
five to call upon the merchants and bus
iness men generally, explain fully the
object of the proposed organization and
solicit subscriptions of stock. This
committee will probably be selected
to-day.
It was the sense of the meeting that
so soon as this committee had made a
thorough canvass of the city that anoth
or meeting of the subscribers be held,
when temporary organization would bo
effected and application made for
charter.
There being no further business the
meeting adjourned, subject to the call of
the chair.
There Is little doubt now as to the ul
tlmate success of the proposed organiz
ation. The need of the city for a board
of trade is fully appreciated, and now
that the opportunity Is presented for se
curing it the pcoplo will not be slow
to act.
Thero is not a city in the south of the
size and commercial Importance of
Americus that has not its board of
trade, and wherever such organizations
exist they have been found of unmeas
urable benefit to the commercial and
material Interests of the town. Ameri
cus is now ripo for such a move and will
take it.
They Return Thinks.

day from Mayor Davis, of Perry, con

But now times have changed and the
tlaln and simple fare of the forefathers
s done away with. Patent flour, and
high seasoned fond and strong drinks,
have taken its place, and as a result;
dyspepsia, impure blood, and diseases
of the stomach, liver and lungs are nu
merous. The great change has led one of
the most skillful physicians of the age
to study out a remedy for these modern
diseases, which lie has named bis Gold

remedy has found a cure for Dyspepsia,
Bronchitis, Asthma, Consumption,in its
early stagos. and “Liver Complaints.”
