CLOSING SCENES
.,OF ENTERTAINMENT.

The members of the Virginia Press
Association are being entertained TO-
day by the Washington Board OF
Trade and Retail Merchants. Before
leaving the capital city they will be
given sightseeing tour
The last feature in connection with
the entertainment of the association
in Alexandria was the banquet last
night in the Elks' Auditorium. 1t is
generally admitted that this was one
of the most pleasant affairs ever given
in this city.
Both hosts and guests have been
greatly pleased during the three days
the Virginia newspaper men have been
in, Alexandria, and they will part to-
might with many expressions of good
will. There has been no hitch in any
part of the program prepared for the
entertainment and the meeting of the
association in this city has been a
continual feast and flow of soul.

casion that four hostile journalists

NAILS ARE HEAVY
At LOCAL OFFICE

Showing an increase OF twenty-five
per cent over the corresponding
mo I'll of last year. Assistant Post
master w. II. Southwark asserted
yesterday afternoon that he expects
the September postal receipts TO be
the largest in the history of the Rich
mond post0fice.
This large increase Is partly due TO
the great amount OF literature being
sent through the mails by the Anu
Saloon league and the Local seiI-
Government league. Besides this,
however. the merchants of Richmond
seem to be sending out an unusually
large amount Of circulars this fall.
Mr.. Southwark said that he had never
seen the postoffice SO rushed before
other than during the Yuletide season.
