Notes
BY T. c. H.


Saturday evening, Oct. %, was the
most elaborate affair ever given in
the T. P. A. headquarters. The lunch
was served to the members seated at
tables in the billiard room The room
was beautifully decorated in Hallow-
cen colors and the tables carried sew
eral vases filled with choice cut flow
ers. Every member present expressed
his appreciation of the evenings en-
tertainment and was loud in his praise
Tor the committee having the affair in
charge. The post expected to make the
winter season of 1894 full of social
events and the officers are looking
forward to social season of much
activity.
The campaign for funds to finance
the 1914 T. p. A. state convention was
1naugurated at the smoker and the
success attained was greater than any
member of the executive committee
had anticipated. The hearty and lber-
al response of the members bespeaks
lively interest in the coming conven-
ton and promises to give to the visit
ing T. P. As a welcome that they will
never forget Richmond and Post G
must see to it that the reputation the
city has for entertaining visitors is
fully sustained.
Ross Bowman has accepted posi-
ton with Lunn & Sweet Shoe Co, of
Auburn, Me. Ross has been assigned
to territory in Kentucky, West Virgin
ia, Maryland and Delaware which will
necessitate his absence from Rich
mond a great portion of the time.

count of the serious sickness of his
father. Mr.. Thomas is making his
home in Albion, Ind.
The finance committee of the 1914
convention has been doing a great
amount of hard work making plans to
finance the coming state meeting. One
of the unique features Of their work
Is the clock which has been prepared
by Mr.. Bates. This clock shows a
dial like a watch with minute hands
and second hands. Each space OF the
second hand represents one hundred
dollars while each space of the minute
hand is five dollars. AS the money
comes in the clock hands are moved
up according to the amounts received.
Mr.. Bates was kept very busy the
night OF the smoker turning the hands,
and at the end of the evenings enter
tainment the clock registered GS00. 80.
Today, after - weeks work, the
clock shows $4,000 and the canvas
has not begun. : ~ clock is hanging in
the parlors of the club rooms and will
remain there until the convention date
The executive committee has adOpt-
ed a slogan to be used by the post in
boosting the convention and il bids
fair to become FIXTURE with Post c.
The slogan is: Richmond Wants
You" This slogan will be used by the
travelling man as he goes over the
country and will be the means of ad-
vertising the city. 1t will also appear
upon the stationery of the post that
vii! be sent broadcast. Richmond
Wants You" is full of meaning-Rich-
mond wants the visitors TO come to see
the beautiful city. She wants the bus
mess man seeking a good location to
come within her gates. She wants the
factory man who is trying to find a
home where labor troubles are few to
come within her borders She wants
the capitalist, the farmer. the Iaborer
to come and locate in Richmond. In
word Richmond wants every thing
worth while to come here where will
be found satisfactory conditions, edu-
cationally, socially and financially.
1T Is rumored that someone has poi-
soned Hegger's poodle dog.
Keep your eye on the clock and see
the way Post c and the T. P. AS do
things.
