From all that the officers of the New London County Improvement league learned, the coming of Dr. Charles ‘B. North of New York for his free lec- ture, with lantern slides, this after- noon in the Town hall, has struck a responsive chord all over the county and. the attendance that is anticipat- ed will embrace people from all over the county.

OF TWO NORWICH BODIES iold of Trade and Norwich Business Men's Association ‘On Friday members of the Board of Trade received the following an- nouncement, signed by President James C. Macpherson and Secretary Henry W. Tibbits: The regular monthly meeting of the Board of Trade will be held on Tues- day, the 8th of December, in the Buck- ingham Memorial, at § p. m. for the purpose of considering and taking action upon_the following resolution recommended by the executive com- mittee— Resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting that it is for the best interests of the City of Nor- wich that the Norwich Board of Trade and the Norwich Business Men’s association should affiliate and become one body— and to transact any other business which may properly come before the meeting. A full attendance is desired. The consolidation proposed has been under discusion since the last meet- ing of the Norwich Business Men’s association, which was the annual meeting, but the election of officers was deferred at that time in view of what it gvas proposed to atiempt in the way of affiliation. Since then representatives of the two organizations have been in con- ference. It has been expected that the Business Men’s association was to undergo a chanee of name, becoming the Norwich Chamber of Commerce, 80 as to correspond with the state or- ganization, and it is prebable that the affliation of the two organizations would be under the name of the Nor- wich Chamber of Commerce.
