cursion We can truly say that tn,
disbandment OF the party of socia
newspaper people gave us sorrow
comforted though in some degree tc
know that these who managed it ant
composed it are residents OF tn,
State now and prospectively ever vii
be. With nothing to occur TO mai
the continued round OF pleasure in 8
journey of near twelve hundred
miles; with everybody willing and
anxious to do something tor the gen.
eral good OF the company, the First
Annual excursion of the Iowa Press
Association may be enrolled as the
greatest success of all excursions
ever sent from or to Iowa. The
pleasant ties OF friendship SO firmly
welded by the journey between those
who had never met before will so
far toward making the work in the
Iowa field oi Journalism one OF great
er pleasantness than ever before, aud
the hundred sanctums represented in
the excursion will have inmates
whose hearts beat more kindly for
the good of those whose hardy shake
OF the hand and voice of cheer were
met with on this glorous occasion.
