Commercial Club Rooms
Largely Attended.
.MATTER OF CANNERY AT
THISCITYFULLYDISCUSSED
Dryer and Vinegar Factory Al
so Taketf,Up Date Set
for Annual Meeting.
The Albany Fruit Growers' associa
tion convened an enthusiastic session
Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the
Commercial Club rooms and a largo
number of local members were pres
ent. The subject of establishing a can
nery in the city was the main topic of
discussion before the assembly. The
proposition met with much favor and
the necessity of such a concern was
strongly urged by leading members
present. The matter was left in the
hands nf a committee with full in
structions to investigate the feasih.!
ity of establishing this plant and to
render a full report at the next meet
ing of the association.
The proposition of establishing a
dryer and a vinegar factory was also
taken tip. Tt is probable that these
two industrial enterprises will be es
tablished in conjunction with the can
ncry, judging from the sentiment o'f
those present, but however, nothing
was definitely decided. The matter
was also referred to a committee to
report in full at the next session.
These committees were instructed
to report at the annual meeting of the
association which is to be held Satur
day, March 16. Considerable busi
ness is expected to' come before this
meeting and all the: members are
urgently requested to attend. The an
nual election of officers will be held
and it is expected that the association
will be reorganized. The subject of
enlarging the membership will be
taken up and a campaign for new
members will be inaugurated.
From the large number present and
from the interest shown at the meet
ing held Saturday afternoon the mem
bers of the association feel greatly
encouraged, and it is their desire to'
miike this a strong organization, with
a large membership, in order that the
work planned' by the association may
be carried on, resulting in inevitable
good to the fruit growers of this sec
tinn.( The meeting adjourned at 6
o'clock.

REV. LEECH PREACHED
STRONG SERMON YESTERDAY
New Members Affiliate with
the Church at Regular Sun
day Morning Service.
Declaring that many churchmen art
too willing to induce the well dressed
stranger to affiliate with the church
of God and loath to show the same
interest in the poor fellow who is
"run down at the heels," Rev. D. 11.
Leech delivered a strong sermon at
the First .Methodist church yesterday
morning.
The pastor urged the members of
his congregation to devote more time
and study to the higher things of life
and give less thought to the mere in
cidents of their business career. He
asserts that legitimate business is nec
essary as well as legitimate pleasure
and reminded his congregation that
Jesus Christ never spoke against busi
ness until it became fraudulent.
"Don't let pleasure ami society lift
God out of your heart," said the past
or. "The whirlpool of society will not
bring you closer to your creator. An
nounce a meeting in some hamlet lo
cated in the cow country and 1 venture
the statement that you will find more
hungry souls, ready and willing to
listen to the Gospel than you will find
here in Albany."
The sermon followed the affiliation
of ten new members with the church
some of whom were admitted to mem
bership upon letters from pastors re
siding at their former place of resi
dence. REVIVALS WELL ATTENDED
