THING TO BRING THEM HERE.
Great National Organizations May Meet II
Richmond.

A movement will in time be put on foot
to bring two large national Organizations
to Richmond 10 hold their annual meet
ings.
. The Young Mems Business Association
of this city will send committee 10
Buffalo. n. Y, at the next meeting OF
the G.. A. r. and extend an invitation 10
that great organization TO hold their en-
campment IN 1899 in this city.
This invitation will be accompanied by
Invitations from Pickett Camp and Lee
Camp. and other organizations in TINS
city.
Some Of the Northern papers, notably
among them the Hartford Courant, of
which United States Senator Joseph 4.
Hawley, is the ruling spirit, are already
talking about Richmond as a place for
the encampment.
The same progressive young mems Or
canizatiOn will also make an effort 10
bring the meeting Of the Benevolent Pro-
tective order Of Elks TO this city for the
year following the meeting in New Or
leans. next June.
If these two organizations come
here for their national meetings it means
that Richmond will be visited az that
time by over 100000 people and a consid-
cradle amount of money will be spent
here.
