LADIES AUXILIARY Y.V.G.A.

The annual meeting of the Ladies
Auxiliary o: the Y. II. G. A. was held
in the l,arlois of the association build
ing yesterday afternoon and was
largely attended. The reports of the
President ard Treasurer were read and
showed the Auxiliary to have just
closed the most successful year in its
history. The following officers were
elected for the ensuing year.
President, Mrs. Heydenreich; treasurer.
Mrs. Hume Sprinkel; secretary, Mrs.

Methodist; Mrs. r. Y. johnson, Bap-
fist; Mrs. T. D. Ransom, Emmanuel.
The report of Mrs Henydenreich,
president, is herewith given in full.
For number of years the work OF
the Ladies Auxiliary has been to keep
the building in repair, replenish the
library, and add to the equipment
in such way as to make the sur
roundings more attractive. l shall
try to give you a general report OF
our years work, and refer you to
the treasurer's and the reports Of the
chairmen of the several committees
for details. This year we did not at
tempt a large entertainment, as SO
many were arranged for among other
societies. For this same reason we
gave fewer coffees than we expected !;
those we did give were very success
full. The Mems Coffee was an inno-
walton that proved a success in every
way. We feel grateful to each one
who assisted, and hope they will
make it an annual affair.
Under the supervision of the Chair
man of the House Committee the
building was cleaned and the plumb
ing repaired. The parlor has been
newly papered, and the library paper
freshened. We have added to the
furnishings, silver, china, table linen
aid a water cooler. Eleven bookcase
sections were bought for the library,
100 books were bought for the Aux
iliary library, % for the regular and
20 for the Junior library 1852 books were
added to the general library from the
Auxiliary library, and several maya
zines have been added to the regular
list of subscriptions.
From rent of books i'll Auxiliary
library, $156. 10
Total receipts Of treasury $542. Al
Total receipts, $69S. 81.
We have set aside 800 to be reserved
for the bonded Indebtedness.
We have on our roll SO members,
having lost two by death and one by
removal We have enrolled two new
members, whom we most cordially
welcome Much to our regret Mrs.
Jos. Barkman, our secretary, sent in
her resignation on account of i'll
health. She has served the board a
number of years faithfully and eff
GENTLY. Mrs. Frank Holt was elect
ed to take her place.
The board meetings have been well
attended, and the support OF the
whole Auxiliary has been most graft
flying.
Respectfully submitted,
Jennie L. Heydenreich.

year shows receipts $542. AZ with dis

May Call Harrisonhurg Pastor.

Lynchburg, Va. May "A meeting
of the congregation of the Franklin
Street Baptist church has been called
for Friday night at which time the
congregation will extend a call for a
pastor to succeed Rev.L I. Franklin,
now of the Port Norfolk Baptist
church. It is believed call will be
extended to Rev. W. T Wingfield, OF
Harrisonburg. Mr.. Wingfield filled
this pulpit twice last Sunday and his
ermons were of a character that will
probably cause call to be issued te
| him.

States Upheld by Supreme Court

Washington D. c., May 2-The
hands of the States in their fight
against TRUSTS were upheld today
by the Supreme Court of the United
States with telling effect.
The Association of Retail Lumber
Dealers in Mississippi and Louisiana
was disbanded by affirmance of the
decree of the supreme court of Miss
issippi, and the Standard Oil Com
pany of Kentucky was ousted from
Tennessee by the approval of the de-
cree Of the Supreme Court of Tennes-
see. Both, the state courts had held,
violated the antitrust act Of the re-
spective State.
Justic Lurton announced the opin-
ion of the court in the Mississippi
case. 1t was his first utterance from
the supreme court bench on the
Trust" question. He said the mem
bers of the association had obligated
themselves not to deal with any man.

SLOWLY. BUT SURELY

Wherever there is a campaign
for good roads a score OF people
will be found who will say: "It's
all newspaper talk. Nothing
will come of it" The imme-
diate results of such campaigns
in many cases would seem TO
Justify such an opinion, but the
ultimate effect of agitation for
better thoroughfares in the Old
Dominion has been. in most
cases, a definite and practical
movement for the carrying out
OF this much to be desired re
form. Rarely is the seed sown
in vain.
Careful examination of the
newspapers reveals the fact
that interest in good roads has
not subsidized. Ia a single day
for instance. reports We're print
ed about good roads movements
in Mecklenburg. Henrico and
Wise, all indicative Of real pro
gress. Henrico county, il is in
teresting TO note, has authorized
the construction of four miles
of road on the old Charles City
county road leading out Of
Richmond, the cost 60 be SO. 900.
"Wise, considering her
wealth, probably has the poor
est roads Of any county i'm the
State, and people are asking
why this should be so. The
meeting at Wise is likely TO be
the beginning Of better things
in the way IF roads" observes
one Of our contemporaries in
that county The statement has
unusual Significance. for Wise
county was not reached by the
good roads campaign carried on
by the Times-Dispatch Wise
has simply caught the echo of
what has been said in other
counties and has decided 60
take mp good roads reform on it's
own initiative. It goes TO show
that the movement is spreading.
aud IS another sign that in our
own good time we shall have
better thoroughfares through
out the Common wealth. Rich

Wise county people have
nerve and sense. They have
called for an election on the
question of issuing $7OO.OO0 of
bonds for the building Of good
roads. That is business. II the
money is voted and the work
started, il Will be of incalcula-
BILE value Go the State as an ex-
ample and inspiration. 1t will
give Wise a long lead and put
her far TO the front as one Of
the most progressive, intelli-
gent and prosperous counties Of
the commonwealth. This is.
We believe, the biggest and
boldest good roads movement
yet undertaken by any rural
county OF the South. Mecklen-
burg county. North Carolina,
voted very large issue of
roads bonds, but the influence
of Charlotte. the largest city Of
the State, was powerful. Wise
has no large city IL the bonds
are voted il will be done by the
farmers, and their action will
make them pre-eminent among
the farmers OF this entire Sec
ton.
The undertaking will attract
attention and admiration
throughout the country and
will De worth thousands of dol
lars as an advertisement for
Wise. for the Southwest, and
for Virginia. The bigger the
majority the better the adver-
tssement and the more the effect
on other counties. - Roanoke
