he is heartily in favor of the proposed
organization of The Independent’s
correspondents’ club. It is strange
indeed that the Independent’s corps of
the correspondent’s with a league or
sition of this kind. The affiliation of 1
the correspondent’s with a league or i
club would no doubt be of much bene- j
fit to all and a zealous interest would
soon terminate, thereby much good ;
could be manifested. The writer has '
been a correspondent to this paper
since it was first established and will i
continue in that capacity as long as j
it is consistent to do so. Arouse your |
enthusiasm and let’s do something. (
