The Commercial club met on
Tuesday afternoon with nearly
all the members present.
The president stated that the
annual banquet had been neglect-
ed and suggested it was an op-
portune time to discuss the mat-
ter.
It was unanimously adopted to
have a banquet and that each
member bring his wife or best
girl to grree the affair.
A committee consisting of C.
R. Rea, D. P. Mauldin and Les-
ter White was appointed to ar-
range for the banquet and New
Year’s night was selected as the
time. A committee consisting
of the president and J, A. Laven-
der was appointed to’ prepare a
list of toasts, so along with the
other good things there will be
some eloquence to please the
honored guests.
In recognition of the good work
in upbuilding this community
along educational lines it was
voted to elect Prof. A. C. Speer
an honorary member, with full
privileges of the club.
A suggestion that the commit-
tee on transportation confer with
the express companies doing
business here and endeavor to
have them deliver all packages
received.
The membership committee
was asked to use their best ef-
forts in securing her members,
as the club feels it needs the help
of all who are interested in the
uplifting and development of the
commuuitv and there are some
good citizens and business men
who are not members and doing
their part who should assist in
the forward movement.
