GREAT INTEREST AROUSED
IN SUNDAY SCHOOL WORK

sunday-school matters in Virginia
have of late taken on added interest
and workers In that worldwide cause
are much encouraged thereat. Read
yet forgotten the mammoth meeting
of Mems Bible Class in the City Audi
torfum. and the remarkable parade OF
four thousand men. Since that time
interest has grown In all departments
OF the work. and new interest has been
created among some who were luke
warm.
In no phase OF the work is this in
terest more apparent than in the State
Sslnday-School Association, the yir-
GINA division of the great Interde-
nominational and International Asso-
citation, which is doing so much to
advance Sunday-school work in all
islands.

be remembered. originated and con-
tinues the selection of the Interna-

which they are. The Virginia State

plans of the leaders do not fail Vir-

among the first ranks.

Buchanan, anxious to return to her
parents.
The girl is of tender years. whether
her statement OF her age Is correct or
not. and she Is unsophisticated. Her
story Of her departure from Spartan
burg is much like that of the stories
Of other girls. According to the
account she gave to Captain Mcmahon
she went to Spartanburg with her
five brothers and missed them on the
train back home. She was bewildercd
and when man approached her and
offered to take her to hotel she went
with him. Later. according to her
story. he suggested marriage; but
whether a ceremony. mock or legal,
was performed could not be learned.
But Miss Hoover and her new ac-
quaintance came to Richmond and
boarded In house on East Marshall
Street, where they lived as man and
wife. The man deserted the girl. and
sent another man, a friend evidently.
to take her out and put her on a
train for Petersburg. But the house,
keeper became suspicious. and on Fri
day night she called in Policeman
Johnson. and he called in Detective
Sergeant Wiltshire.
No Charge Against Her.
There were no charges against the
girl. and the man had gone. So she

CIRCUS IS
COMING
SEPT. 20

With record of having turned thou
sands OF amusement lovers away at
San Francisco, Los Angeles, Portland,
Tacoma, Seattle, Spokane and Butte,
besides doing capacity business in the
majority Of the minor coast cities, the
Sell-Floto shows come back for their
regular season OF joymaking on Tues
day September 20.
This Is the first circus to arrive this
season. But this year comes the re-
marlsable announcement that the price
of admission has been cut in half or in
other words, the people can see the big
show in its entirety for the nominal
sum Of % cents.
AS far as the history of the world
goes, the circus is the most ancient
form Of amusement. Wonderful struc-
lures were built by the ancients to
satisfy this particular passion and
strange to say, although most every
other form of entertainment that the
human mind has been capable Of in
venting, has come and gone during
the years which has interviewed from
.lle circus maxims to that Of today, the
tented show has never lost its attrac-
tion for young and old alike
The Sells-Floto people make an offer
to the public, which has never been
duplicated in the history OF the world.
When we realize that the operating
cost Of this circus runs over the $4,000
mark per day and that the average
theatrical attraction rarely costs that
much per week, also considering the
difference in price charged at the box
Office OF the theatre ana the Is cents
charged for admission to the great
Sells-Floto shows, we must concede
that the circus. people have taken time
by the forelock and are manufacturing
history on their own account. The
verdict has been left to the great
American public. What their answer
has been is shown by the reports com
ing from the great coast cities above
mentioned.
