Spirit of Jefferson. [volume] (Charles Town, Va. [W. Va.]) 1844-1948, 1922-09-12
THE CONVENTION THIS WEEK

town today and will close Friday at
noon. An unusually large atten-
dance is looked for, if the number of
clubs that have already reported
their number of delegates can be
taken as safe indication. Of 80
clubs in the State which are fede-
rated, and from which representa-
tives are expected, the number that
so far made housing reservations
have asked for more room than the
local committee had counted on. 1t
is understood, however, that arrange
ments are being made for more
delegates than had originally plan
ed to attend the convention, so
there will be no trouble about taking
care of the increased number. The
convention will be the largest meet
ing of its kind ever held in Shep-
herdstown. To hold the meeting in
small town is a sort of an expert
ment for the West Virginia Fedora
ton, which has heretofore held its
annual convention in the larger cit
les of the State. The Shepherds
town club is making pretentious eff
forts to see that the convention will
be a success from every angle, and
in all probability the visiting women,
who represent West Virginia's best
families and who carry the most dis
tinguished names in the State, will
be we'll pleased with their stay in
the historic town.
The final program for the con-
vention, which has just been an
nounced, is one which will be int
eresting. Well-known men and
women from West Virginia and 9TH
er States are slated to make ad-
dresses, and the four-day program
