PURPOSE STATED.
The purpose of the meeting could not be
better stated than these gentlemen have
themselves done. The main object OF TINS
meeting they write, is to form an
association, give it a name, elect officers
and appoint committees, particularly
committee who shall have in charge the
3 publication of book setting forth ad-
vantages to home-seekers which are pre-
scented in different sections Of Virginia.
\ we believe that If the great advantages,
such as climatic, social and educational
Z that are known to exist in our State,
were properly set before them. many or
of the home-seekers That now go to other
sections OF our country could be located,
in old virginia. We have already inter-
ested the Governor of our State. Hon.
"A, ~. Montague; Superintendent OF Agrl-
culture. Hon. G.. w. koiner; Colonel H.
W. Fuller, Of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroad; Major NJ. V. Richards. OF the
Southern Railroad and some of the lead
s ing newspapers Of the State. We hope
10 have many prominent and pushing
Il real estate men at this meeting. 1t IS
also believed that we can interest our
" Legislature in the movement. The un-
dersigned who have given much thought
to the matter, believe that every section
E of the State will be greatly benefited by
a concerted aclion and united effort OF the
land agents and the city real estate deal
ers.
The meeting will be called to order
at II o'clock Tuesday morning in the an
mex Of Murphy's Hotel The first order
3 Of business will be the formation of a
permanent association. The body will
then proceed with the important business
for which it was called into being.
