REMEMBER THE POOR.
Co. Operative Charities Make Earnest
Appeal to Community.

At the last meeting of the Cooper
ative Charities Association, a depict
ed ard almost exhausted treasury
was the subject of most Importance,
and It was decided that call would
have to be made upon the helpfulness
and generosity Of our citizens for az
d:tional funds to carry on the work
of relief.
Although the weather has not been
as severe as in former winters, the
cooperative Charities. the Relief
Committee and st. Vincent de Paul
Society, all acting in harmony. and
with the utmost care to give relief 10
the worthy poor and destitute, have
been taxed to their utmost resources
The past years Of our work is a
guarantee that it has not been in vain,
or that generosity has ceased to be
virtue among our people.
Shall we close ouL.Jwork now when
the conditions indicate severe wealth
er? You, kind friends 'must answer
this question.
Lee Camp Hall will be open for
contributions of all kinds, on Tues
day, February 18th, from 10 O'Clock

Let us all remember the poor who
have no human helper. Le: there be
no suffering among US if we as indi-
viduals can help to prevent it. There
will not be if each one who has the
comforts of life, will share just a
little with those VINO have not,
most of whom are children, unable to

SUPERVISORS POWER.
Bill Designed to Relieve Calender of
Legislature.

Richmond, Feb. 13---After consuita-
tion with 2 number of authorities,
Delegate W. A. Land, of Nottoway,
has offered bill designed materially
to enlarge the powers and duties Of
county Boards of Supervisors, thus
providing for local home rule for the
various counties of the State, and at
the same time relieve the calendar
tof the General Assembly of an enor-
nous amount of special, local. and
private legislation which now takes
up most of the regular sessions. In
general terms, Mr.. Land said it was
his purpose to give to the supervisors
Of counties powers similar to those
exercised by the councils of towns.
"The only objection have met
with" said Mr.. Land, "is that in some
counties the supervisors are not the
type of men whose powers and duties
should be enlarged. My answer Is
that if there be any such county, 1t is
better to elect another Board Of Sup
ervisors. | should be sorry to think
that there is any county in Virginia
that cannot find Capable body OF
men to handle its local affairs.

nowers as to borrowing money, lssu-
.irc bonds and incurring obligations as
are granted to the councils OF towns
