had again taken the matter into conslde-

permission to remove the oii1ce at MS

In any way whatever. and he is inclined

on sentimental reasons
The fact is that Colonel Brady seems
really anxious TO have his head office in
Richmond, but is much hurt at the uc-

he has been "house-hunting" here with

THE COHEN CO. THE COHEN CO.

Virginia. and that is the injurious haDlt
practiced by our people Of sending their
money out of the State to buy nearly
everything they need or use, which, con-
seouently. goes to build up the Industries
of the Northern and Western States, ana
thereby enriches their people, ana 10
corresponding extent impoverishes our
own people. When this fact is taken INTO
consideration, it is not surprising that
we have so little money in circulation
and are so far behind our sister states
of the North and West in population
wealth, and manufactures.
The people. of those States, without the
great advantages that we possess OF ell
mate and resources, including cheap
labor and proximity to the fields OF natu-
raj productions, have outstripped us III
the industrial race, and did 1t by encour-
aging home industries.
Cities and States, like individuals, are
In most instances the architects OF their
own fortunes. Every Virginian should
take an interest in Richmond, not alone
| because it is the capital Of our State,
and is a city of great beauty and OF
much historical interest. being the city
| in which the immortal Patrick Henry
raised his powerful and eloquent voice
in behalf of American liberty, but be-
cause it pays large portion of our state
l tax, and thereby renders lighter this tax
burden Of the rural sections OF the State.
| Thanking you again for your Kindness,
am, sir, Yours very truly,

ference OF the Bear lake stake of

on the stand OF the NJ T. board Elders
n, H. Roberts, Douglas NJ. Todd and

There were also present the follow

assisted In making the conference
such a success: r. G, Easton, Walter
:. Lamoreaux, Sisters Viola Pratt
Gillette, Maggie HUI and Mrs, r. e.
laston. We never saw these singers
so liberal with their singing on any
previous occasion. TO say their sing

IT very mildly.
The concert given in the Stake tab
ernacle on Saturday night was well
attended and was very cuthuslastical-
ly received Our own Eugton". never
sang swceter, ana LamureauX was
simply an agreeable surprise to all,
while the sister singers We're exquisite.
These singers are company of the
best natured happiest people who
have ever favored Bear Lake with
their visits. Their faces, without any
exceptions, We're n continual sweet
smile for all. In fact, the whole COM
was characterized with this Joyful
feature of this great occasion. May
they come again.
