SrAUNToN, VA. February 2-(Spe-
cial)-Secretary Taylor Mccoy. of the
Stanton Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton, has prepared an interesting report
OF the work done by the Staunton asso-
citation. The report shows that there
are 331 in he scholastic department:
where five branches are taught there are
~ students. In the physical department
during the year past there were 1903
visits to the well-equipped gymnasium,
and in the department were held 81.
This Christian Association seems to
think that Cleanliness is next TO Godli-
ness" as the records show that 4,0d
baths were taken in the bathrooms main
tajned in the building.
There were 10 religious meetings held
In the past twelve months with an attend
ance OF 4.06l. so that the number of those
seeking physical ablutions was ex-
actly the number attending the religious
services for moral ablution and absolu-
ton from soiling sin.
The library is a happily-selected one
OF $500 volumes. comprising fiction. his
tory. biography, travel. On an average
each book was out of the library twice
year, the record showing that 4.s1S
volumes were taken out in the year.
The total yearly weekday attendance
was 45, 1855. and the total attendance at the
rooms for all purposes was 5S.024.
The average attendance is shown to be
145, and the expenses for operating this
branch Of the associations work was s2210.
The Fishersvlle. Banterbrook and

The sleighing is splendid here. and has
continued for nearly thirty days. Never
before In the history OF the city has there
been so large a number Of vehicles on
runners. Not alone have the PLEASURE
seekers been riding on runners, but the
farmers have put their big four-horse
wagons on runners. and bring in cord
wood and farm products on these high
sleighs
Great regret is felt here by the base
ball friends that Stanton will not have
team in the State League this season.
Some of the most ardent baseball cranks
in the State live here. but the city seems
hardly able TO support team at the
hot pace now set by the State League.
