IN ITS NEW HOME
Young Mems Christian Association
Realizes Its Hopes.
HOUSEKEEPING MONDAY EVENING
Description of the Building and
Surroundings.
MEMS MEETING TOMORROW

In July, 1895, the building in which had
been conducted the work of the Young
Mems Christian Association for nearly fiji
teen years was almost completely destroyed
by fire. and a few months later the asso-
citation was visited with another disaster in
the death of it's general secretary, James h.
Pugh. Owing to this combination of mis-
fortunes, taken in connection with the gen.
eral stagnation in business, comparatively
little was accomplished in association work.
Quite a considerable amount of money,
however, was subscribed by directors of the
association and q few friends and an earn
est effort was set on foot to raise sufficient
money to construct a new building on the
New York avenue site, which had been en-
larged by the purchase of the adjoining
house to the east.
Mr.. w. n. Multer. who was called to the
general secretaryshfp of the association at
ter the death of Mr.. Pugh, labored for more
than two years toward the raising of a suf-
building. In June, 1898, Mr.. Muiter was
called to the service of the army branch of
the Young Mems Christian Association, and
entering upon thai work his formal resig-
nation as secretary of the Washington as
sociation was rendered in October aad ac-
cepted with expressions Of regret.
The Annual Meeting.
At the annual meeting Of the association.
held in the month of October last, SIR. S.
w. Woodward was unanimously chosen
president for the ensuing year. Several
strong men were added to the board of
managers, and the determination to move
quickly forward in the canvass for funds
for the new buiIding was made. This de-
termination took very definite shape when.

board of managers Mr.. +. L. Moore moved

Dangers of the Grip.

The greatest danger from La Grippe
is of its resulting in pneumonia. Ii
reasonable care is used, however, and
Chamherlain'S Cough Remedy taken,
all danger will be avoided. Among
the tens of thousands who have used
this remedy for la grippe we have yet
to learn of a single case having re-
suited in pneumonia which shows
conclusiwely that this remedy is a GER
tain preventive of that dangerous
disease. 1T will cure la grippe in less
time than any other treatment. 1t
is pleasant and safe to take. For sale

Entered at the Postoffice at Accomat
C. H., Va, as second.class matter.

The present Governor of Virginia,
Hon. J. Hoge Tyler, has announced
himself q candidate for the United
States Senate and will have as an OPP
ponent for Senatorial honors, the
present incumbent, Hon. Thomas S.
Martin. That there will be no other
candidates for the high office seems
to have been settled beyond all Ques-
tion and the next Legislature of Vir-
ginia will decide between them. The
conclusion which it will reach in the
matter will depend, of course, upon
circumstances or rather upon the ac>
ton of the people between this time
and the next meeting of the Legisla>
ture If the politicians have their
way, it is foregone conclusion, that
Mr.. Martin will be his own successor,
but if the people assert their rights
and give expression to their prefer
ence in way in which il is their pre-
negative, it is equally certain, that
Mr.. Martin will be stepping down
and OUT at the expiration of his pres
ent term of office to give place to
Governor Tyler as his successor. In
other words, the people will elect the
mem beers of the next Legislature and
it is not only their privilege but
should be their duty, to see to it,
that their representatives should
voice their sentiments in the matter
in the next Legislature CT our State,
That Governor Tyler would be the
choice of the people of the State goes
without sayin give believe. He is one
of them, more identified IN interest
with them than the present incum-
bent could be, owes the office which
he now holds to them and can only be
elected by them as Senator, and be-
cause he would be only answera BILE
to them for his conduct would be
more likely to cast his vote as Sena-
tor in accord with their interests.
he is farmer, has made good
Governor and is not dominated by
politicians or is in any way RESPONSE
BILE to them so far as we are advised.
More might be said in praise of him
and of his fitness and qualification
for the high office to which he aspires
but it is not necessary. No one has
to inquire of him as they did of the
present incumbent when he first an
nounced himself as a candidate for
Senator, "who is Tom Martin" and
who have been inquiring ever since,
what has he done to entitle him
to a second term The politi
clans and the corporations OF the
State could answer the queries, if
they would, but as they could not,
perhaps, in a way that would be
satisfactory to the people, and are
uiiviviviv riIeuu III uiiO maruer, Unere
is but one thing left for the people
to do-to say through their repre-
sentatives that they prefer man as
their Senator who like Governor
Tyler is Of, for and with the people,
rather than man like Senator Mar
tin, elected against their will, and
who has done nothing. so far as we
know, to commend himself to them.
The people OF the Eastern Shore will
speak il no uncertain sound in the
matter and we cannot believe that the
people are in such subsection to the
bosses in other sections of the State
that their choice of Senator will be
defeated by them.

FAMILY FINANCIERING.

They tell me you work for dollar day.
How is it you clothe your boys on such pay:
1 know you will think it conceited and queer,
But do it because am good fnancier.
There's Pete, John & jim, Joe, William q Ned,
A half dozen Buys to be clothed and fed
I buy for them all plain victuas to eat,
But clothing buy only for our son Pete
When Petes clothes are too small for him to go on
My wife makes them and gives them to John,
When for John who is they have grown out of date
She Just makes them over for Jim who is eight.
When for Jim they have become too ragged to fix,
She just makes them over for Bill who is six,
And when for young Bill they will no longer do,
She Just makes them over for Ned who is two.
So YOU see if get the good clothing for Pete
The family is furnished with 'Gthng complete and
He has thrown them aside what do you do with then:
why once more go round the circle complete
And begin to them for patches for Pete,
But where dear FRIEND you buy clothes that wear,
From Pete down to Ned without a rip or tear:
7 90 down to CLICKS his stock is the best,
He can suit the whole family my wife and the rest.
