Our Correspondence The Merchauts' Protective Associ ation held a meeting In the Court bouse, Wednesday night, the repre sentation of the business firms of the city being large. The subject of meetings and the dates on which they are to be held was brought up for a thorough discussion and it was decided that meeting nights should be set for tbe second and fourth Mondays In each month In future. A suggestion was made for several lirmortant changes In the methods of compiling and maintaining the lists ot tne association, macn list is to oe dated so that there will be no danger of tbe merchants In tbe association allowing them to become confused with the lists of a former Issue. A demand was also made for a com plete revision of tbe list now en hand, since it Is claimed that a number of the people whose names are entered uDon -it. have moved away from Dallas and will probably not return to this city. It was decided that the list should be revised at tbe next regular meeting of the association and mat everv member snouia oe noti fied to be r resent on that occasion, so that the work might be done syste matically and witn tnorougnness. With a view to the DroDosed revision of the list an amendment to the consti tution was introduced and passed, providing that ail names submitted for entry upon the list should be passed ii tin n hv the association as a whole. instead of being left in the hands of a mm mitten. This plan will make a considerable change in the work of tbe secretary of the association, so it was decided to postpone action on tne proposition to increase his salary, until the first meeting next month. when a better idea of the exact nature and extent of his duties will have been obtained.
