This appears to be the case with the business men of Grand Rapids inthe matter of organizing themselves into an association for the promotion of all enterprizes calculat- ed to advance the material and social welfare of Grand Rapids and Itasca county. That such an organization asthe Commercial club was much needed in. this community has long been recognized by the progressive men who have already made this town one of the most adyanced, sub- stantial and best known in Northern Minnesota, and all that was lacking was a move in the right direction. . This move hus been made and asa re. ‘sult the Grand Rapids Commercial club was organized last Monday eve- ning when a public meeting was held at the court house. The committees appointed the week before were ready to report. A constitution and by-laws were adopted, and the committee on membership reported with one hun- dred signers.

The Northern Minnesota Firemen’s associatiou will continue to prosper notwithstanding the secessionists.
