GOVERNOR TO GET
CLOSE To WORKERS

This afternoon in the mansion. Gov
ernor Stuart will give reception to
the delegation from Southwest Virginia
who came to the city to witness the In
auguration. This reception will be
more or less informal. as nearly every
person who came from a distance Is a
close personal friend of the governor.
Tho official reception to the members
Of the general assembly has been done
away with. this administration and in
it's place, Governor and Mrs. Stuart
have planned series Of small dinners,
which the members of the general as
sembly will attend in parties of ten.
This plan meets with the approval of
all inasmuch as the dinners are far
more entertaining than the receptions
and 1t will bring the legislature and
the governor In close touch with each
other.
