At a meeting of the Commercial | Club held Tuesday night it was decided that the first meeting in! each month would be in every: sense an open meeting, to which: more of our membe: ers | would be requested to speak on some subject in which we are all | interested. Theze meetings to be held in the city hall. tee consisting of J. A. DeArmond, Pres.; D. K. Walker and H. H. Holloway were appointer to se- cure the speakers and arrange the} program.

Cannon as a com- mittee to take the matter up- with the R. R. officials. . The secretary read a letter from | ° E. T.

Since the Supreme | Court settled the legal questions |involved in the matter and the | State Auditor has made a supple- mental apportionment, giving the | public schools the largest amount |they ever received in the history \of the state, the Globe-Democrat ,and Post-Dispatch have closed up like clams. They knew the schools j were never in danger of losing a j dollar, but they thought they saw a good opportunity to misrepre- sent a Democratic administration, and injure the Democratic party. The result is highly gratifying to the people. A ‘‘looting’’» that ‘gives to the schools a record lamount is just to the people’s lik- ing. A Letter from Virginia. The Times’ good friend, John | P.
