Charge Of Affairs.


The Virginia State F1remen's Association,
that will meet here in September, viii be
an imposing affair, and should command
the attention of ali the friends of the Fire
Department. It will bring strangers here

tatiye committees for subscriptions, as the
visitors must be entertained, and 1t is hoped
they will be received literally,

themselves are doing everything in their
power to make it success, but they are
not persons OF means, and will need the
assistance of the citizens to help them

viii probably be held at the Boulevard,
