A GREAT GATHERING TO-DAY
Sessions on Two Days to Form
Association and Arrange Pub
LEGATION Of "Virginiana,"

Representative real estate men and
other public spirited citizens gather at
Murphy's Hotel at II o'clock this morn
ing for tho purpose Of forming State
association. believing that such an organ
ization has a great patriotic work TO do.
Y Back Of the movement arc two cir
.cumstanccs. Ono Is that Virginia's land,
fertile and moderate In cost. the old
States charming climate unsurpassed the
world over, her social and educational
cnjoyments, the equal Of any In the
Union, are all too little known. The other
is closely akin to It.. That II these adj
vantages were generally known hundreds
OF home seekers who are going elsewhere
with far less to gain, would come to Ylr-
gInin. Z
The meeting will be held In Murphy s
Annex. Judge j. o. Shepherd, Of Buena
VISA will be the temporary chairman, and
Colonel Cary r. Randolph, Of Charlottes.
Vile, temporary secretary.
The first stop will be the election OF a
permanent chairman, and other permn-
nent officers. From what could be learned
around the hotels last night apparently
MIR. John Stewart Walker, OF Lynch
burg Is the favorite for the permanent
headship OF the organizations Who the
remaining officers will be cannot be even
surmIsed. Much Of this morning will be
given over 10 expressions Of the wisdom
OF forming an association. AZ
\ Governor A. J. Montague will speak
briefly, explaining the purpose for calling
together leading citizens OF tho State at
this time. Hon. G. Nv. Kolner, Commits
.sloner OF Agricultural Major NJ. Y. Rich
ardson, Hon. William II. Boaz and others
are expected 10 speak.
b 1t will be determined at this meeting
whether other sessions will DO held to-
day. The body will be In session also to-
morrow. II Is safe to forecast that the
one result OF the meetings will be the
formation OF Virginia Real Estate AS
ISOLATION and the appointment of com
mttec to prepare creditable publlca-
tion setting forth attractively the States
resources and inducements to settlers.
The movement cannot help being a sue
cess. 1t has received the endorsement OF
tho foremost men In the State and the.
State, and the press In every section IS
working hard for It. Tho Governor OF
the State will make one Of the addresses
to-day, and 1t is expected that Senator
Martin will be present. The entire dele
cation III Congress has expressed most
cordial sympathy with the movement and
the end to be sought. Presidents and high
officials OF a. number OF railroads have
offered their support. Further than thls,
not less than two hundred and fifty rea!
estate men in the tSate have sent their
names to be enrolled as members. A lead
ing dealer in real estate who is deeply In
terested in the meetings to be held at this
timo said last night:
1T is probable that nearly all the legi-
innate dealers in real property Will JOIN.
The organization is to include all VINO
deal In property, either city agents coun-
try agents, rental agents-fact all brokers
and dealers In real property. .
Quite large number OF agents came In
yesterday to attend the meeting. Others
will como on the early trains to-day.
Richmond will send a strong delegation.
