RICHLANDS CIVIC LEAGUE.

Richlands, Va, Oct. 24.-At the an
nuai meeting of the Richlands Civic
League in September all the old Of
ficers We're re-electd, only a few
changes being made in the chairman
of different departments. In looking
back over the year We all feel that
we had made enough progress in all
we had undertaken, not only to con-
tinue work but to take up same along
new lines. OF course we feel dis
couraged at times. All pioneers do,
but ii we have done nothing else we
know that to us is due the credit OF
having Community House. To quote
from Mr.. c. c. Hyatt's speech at the
laying or the corner stone of this
building:
"The most outstanding action of
the League was it's early decision to
employ social or community work.
er-through the good efficies of Mr..
Rich and Mr.. Hughes we were able
to secure for this work Deaconess
Mills, whose work in our midst has
been truly wonderful. She has been
able to accumulate a library of over
1900 volumes, she has q large Sun
day school and each summer conducts
kindergarten work. Having no build
ing to use for her books nor in which
she could work comfortably, the Lea
que decided to try to provide for
her needs. A plot of ground was
purchased from DIR. A. S. Richardson,
who very generously let US have it
ut price far below present value.
On mature consideration the men,
bers decided the need greater than
