HELD IN JANUARY
A Number of Prominent Men
Will Be Invited to Re.

Plans for the annual banquet of the
Young Mems Christian Association
are in the hands of a committee, in
cluding President, S. f. Jones. Secre
tary Herbert Weed and f. NJ. Haas
1t is proposed that the banquet, a,
which there will be a flow of con
gratulatory oratory by we'll known af
ter dinner speakers, will be held dur
ing the third week OF January, al
though no definite time has been Sc,
as yet
Perhaps the most important thing in
connection with the banquet will be
the announcement of the financial af
fairs of the association for 1910. Al
the end of the first year the associa
tion's records was SO good that it was
referred to in the most commendable
way. The association proved more
than successful as an educational
place for Richmond's young men and
boys and several hundred dollars
above the expenses were placed in
the treasury for use in 1910. 1t is gen
orally believed from the attitude of the
officials that the report for the pres
ent year will be satisfactory one al.
so.
No selection of speakers for the
banquet has been made. Three or
four from out Of the city, all of whom
Will be selected because of their
prominence in association work or for
their ability as after dinner speakers,
will be invited to respond to toasts to
the association. In addition the pro
gram will be rounded out by respons.
