WORK OF YOUNG MEN
REVIEW OF WHAT THE BUSINESS
ASSOCIATION HAS DONE.
WORKING FOR The CITY'S GROWTH,
All Their Energy and Enthusiasm
Enlisted In AlIevInting the Destf-
tute and building Up Richmond's
Interests In Various Lines.

During the severe weather in February
OF last year few young men undertook
to alleviate the suffering and distress
among the poor of the city. and formed
what is known as the Citizens Relief AS
sociatIon. During the continuance Of the
active canvass which it undertook about
s. 800 was raised in two months by sub
scrptions Of from cents TO S5 per week,
which was judiciously expended through
various channels. To the City Mission was
given about 1880 and for the relief OF
emergency cases, arising under the mme-
date notice of its members, about $50
was spent. About an equal amount was
spent for the relief Of destitution in the
suburbs outside of the corporate limits.
It's great end was TO insure contributions
going TO cases where assistance was most
needed, and 1t most acceptably and faith
fully fulfilled it's mission. When the time
drew near for it to Gsband, which was
the first OF April, there were a great

to request all who felt inclined 70 contrl-
butte by the month what they had here-
tofore given by the week. Many respond
ed. and they will probably never know
how much sickness and suffering was as
suaged by their generous action.
FORMED A BUSINESS ASSOCIATION.
As an outgrowth Of the Citizens Relief
Association came the Young Mems Busl-
ness Association. 1t was believed that Il
all the young men OF Richmond Woula
band themselves together to work IN an
organIzed effort to advertise and build up
their city. they would thereby become
more interested in the citys affairs, ana
not only make better citizens, but In the
long run better their own condition IN
life The idea of the originators OF the
association was 10 instil into the MINDS
of the men who were working on salary
that they could not prosper unless ther
EMPLOYERS did; that their salaries could
not be increased unless their employers
incomes increased by their efforts, either
directly or indirectly IL was disuhc'ly
understood that its object was the one
purpose Of promoting the best interests
of this city in any direction that might
need such organized assistance at the
hands OF her people, and THAI we were
ready and anxious to aid the press and
any association in its efforts 10 build up
the city, and though independent OF

organization that endeavored TO ald Rich-
mond's merchants or manufacturing en-
terprises. On the contrary, we solicit the
advice OF any association or citizen on
any subject which presents itself as Deing

lives also that the best way TO build
